Deflated - like someone let the air out of a balloon. That's how I felt when I saw this thread :sad: I have to say, Dustin, you're a huge asset to the DIS team, and I am very sad to see you go :sad1: BUT, I'm sure it was not an easy decision for you, so this new endeavour must be pretty...

My wife and I had a "Disneymoon" in 2012, and it was awesome!!! :love: We wore our "Happily Ever After" buttons the whole time, and not one person batted an eyelash about it. We got really cute celebratory cupcakes and champagne (depending on the restaurant) after some of our TS meals, and the...

You'll get to see at least some of the stuff, as Robo pointed out! :thumbsup2 I would go out on a limb and say "most" of the decorations will be up, having been there during Christmas week before (2007), as well as the halloween/christmas "switchover" week (2012), I didn't notice much missing...

It's a last-day ritual for us to hit all 4 parks that day. Sometimes we're not in a park for very long, but it's enough to say we were there. We usually end our night with Wishes in the MK if we can, but sometimes because of MNSSHP or MVMCP that's not possible, so we opt for Illuminations over...

I totally agree with the OP! For me, I would say that it's the unexpected moments when the CM's go above and beyond to make your trip extra special. Maybe it's something simple like a celebratory cupcake after a meal, or some Mickey stickers, but maybe it's something bigger, like being chosen as...

I think finding out likes and dislikes is a great idea before planning too much just yet. There's plenty to do seeing "the slower side of Disney", but it's all about things like, does he like any rides? Does he enjoy certain types of food? Does he like shopingat all? Would he be interested in a...

Got my ADR on 12-04 :woohoo:This sounds like it will be awesome, so hopefully it is!

That must have been awful at the time :sad2: I know people that experience panic attacks, so I understand how bad it can get :scared: It's awesome you're able to look back on that now and laugh about it, though :thumbsup2 Thankfully I can say I don't have any experiences quite like some of...

I guess it depends on when you go and who you're with (if you'll be there during a busy time of year, if you're traveling with children, etc), but I think 2 hours for 4 rides is a bit ambitious - unless you don't mind being a little winded by the time you're headed out of the park :laughing: It...

I feel like "The Studios" is the most logical progression unless they take the park in a totally different direction (Islands of Acquisition though...:rotfl:). Lets face it, it's tired and needs some help. A new name isn't going to change anything so hopefully they'll deliver on those...

The biggest difference between the two tours seems to be the ending - the new one without the private Safari ride. The new tour seems to incorporate seeing more of the animals "backstage" than the original one did, which I think is awesome. I really enjoyed our Backstage Safari Tour (Nov 2012)...

:welcome: to the DIS!!! We don't really have any arrival-day rituals because our flight times vary. Usually it's a pretty relaxed day, and if we can get to a park we'll go to the MK and do a few rides and just soak up the atmosphere. Taking the ME is something we always do though, so I guess...

I used the Britta water bottle on my last two trips, and it worked great. I would just ask for some ice water from a quick service location if I needed it, otherwise I just used the water fountains. I didn't notice an off taste at all, but I used the filter the whole time because in the past...

I would also recommend BB over TL. Both are great, but I enjoyed the theming better at BB, and Teamboat Springs really is a not-to-miss slide. They both have their similarities, like the "lazy river" and the wave pools, but both are are slightly different in their offerings. There are lockers...

I still take mine! I've never met anyone because of it though. Will have it on my bag when I'm there at the end of the month! :thumbsup2 Sometimes I put one in the window of our room too, if I can find the spare one I have.

Since you wouldn't really be able to get much MK time in, I'd say go with Epcot or the Studios, just because they're close to your resort. That way, you'll be able to maximize your time at a park since you don't really have to bus, like you would have to with AK. Because there's a MNSSHP that...

This thread makes me so happy because I know I'm not alone! :laughing: I cry literally all the time when WDW is involved. I don't even have to be there and I cry, which makes me feel kind of pathetic really, :headache: When I talk about it to friends and family I start to get teary eyed...

There's so much you could do! If you want to use a park ticket, you could go to a park, but if you don't want to you could go to Downtown Disney and do a bit of shopping, check out Splitsville (the bowling alley), or take in a movie. You could go resort hopping and/or check out The Boardwalk...

I think AK was a park designed to be enjoyed at a slower pace - the more leisurely you take it, the more you'll get from it. If you're the type of person that has to be go-go-go all the time, hoping from one ride to the next and quickly walking through the trails, I think you'll miss a lot of...

Awesome! Thanks! :goodvibes
