Thanks for the info. The food on the special top-secret vegetarian menu sounds good. Really good. But I agree, why hide it?

Thanks for your advice. I really wish Disney had some kind of hotel to hotel transportation. But that's probably too much to ask for.

My son and I will be staying at Wilderness lodge villas. We have reservations at Boma at 7:10. What is the best way to get there? I'm guessing Animal Kingdom and then take bus to the lodge. How long do you think this would take? What time should we leave our hotel room? I'd rather...

We went to Jiko with our 5 year old son. We had a wonderful experience. The restaurant IS upscale. But it is still child-friendly. The waiter was very friendly towards our son. They have crayons there, a children's menu, etc. Where else can you go to a restaurant that is both upscale...

I was thinking of eating at San Angel in Epcot. I'm vegetarian and there doesn't seem to be any vegetarian food on the menu. Are there any vegetarians here who had luck there? Did you call ahead? Could I just order something and ask to leave the meat out? Would they make something...

We usually hang out at the resort or go to Downtown Disney. When my son is older, we're probably going to get the AP. Then we'll probably just visit the parks the first day.

I can relate! My son was scared of characters. When he was three, he was TERRIFIED! We tried taking him to a character meal and had to leave because he was too scared. He did okay as long as we didn't approach characters. He seemed okay as long as they were far away. I explained...

I feel Disney service has gone downhill. BUT...I don't know if my memory of the past is realistic. I was a child/teenager and maybe had rose-colored glasses. I saw Disney World as a place that wanted to make people happy. I didn't realize it was a business run by real people with real...

We went the beginning of December and loved it. The only problem is it is VERY hard to get a reservation. We didn't realize it was so popular for DVC members and called only a few months ahead. Everything was booked. So, we ended up using our points for AKL. The parks were not...

We stayed at AKL in December and LOVED it. They have a wonderful playground just behind the pool. My son spent hours playing there. It was kind of cold, so we spent only one afternoon at the pool. But it was very nice. We love the restaurants. We ended up eating at Boma 3 times. My...

We do. I'm vegetarian. My son does not like vegetables (although he does show courage by trying them every so often). I love vegetables and it is the main ingredient of my dinner. I play short order cook. I honestly don't mind. I'd probably mind if I had a big family that I...

I think you do have a valid point. We can be considered spoiled. Being a picky eater IS a luxury. I personally had the luxury. I had parents who could afford to buy me food I like (which I'm happy to say did actually go beyond one or two food items). I also had the luxury of having...

We have 250 at the BCV. So we're thinking we'll bank 50 AKV points every other year. So, every other year we'll have 100 AKV points. Plus the 250 BCV.

Do you guys really think AKV is going to be over $100 dollars a point? If SSR has a $15 dollar discount, might AKV have one as well? Although that is for 150 plus points and we don't want that many.... Just 50. I'm really hoping it's less than $100. But I guess hoping won't make it...

I think sometimes we give too much credit to ourselves as parents. We don't realize that sometimes it's just luck. Or the child's personality. Then we look down at other parents when their children have problems that our children don't. My son was a little angel when he was a toddler. In...

I think it is perfectly fine to be an overprotective, suffocating, and paranoid parent (I'm one sometimes myself although not as bad as I used to be). But to sit there and infer that other people don't love their children because they are not paranoid like you? That's disgusting, rude, and...

We've had to cancel 3 character meals...so far. First one was when my son was 3. Big group of us in Crystal Palace. He refused to go in. Flash forward almost 2 years. DS asks DH if they can go to Cape May for breakfast. He says he's ready...not scared anymore. They wake up...

I personally believe EVERYONE should put their disabilites (aka special needs) in their sig line. Yours can say "Attention-seeking trouble maker". If you don't like that, how about "self-righteous trouble-maker"? That would fit quite well. I also think people should list their...

When people have doubts about their own parenting ability, often instead of facing these, they insult the parenting choices of other people. This allows them to ignore their own mistakes and challenges. I'm ashamed to say I know this from experience....but I'm changing. There is...

We have not used many sitters yet....but as my son gets older we hope to use more. My personal feeling is if the parents are happy and the child is happy, than go for it. On vacation, I wouldn't feel right leaving my son somewhere if it made him unhappy. I feel this is his vacation too. A...
