    Thinking about DS Best Western... questions

    Thanks! I ended up changing my mind, and we are going to Pop. The TA didn't include any of the resort fees in her quote, and it actually ends up cheaper to stay in a value, and possibly get free dining with our dates. Can't beat free dining!

    Thinking about DS Best Western... questions

    Has anyone stayed for EMH yet? What is the voucher and how did it work? I know they don't provide magic bands, but if I order them to use my tickets, can it also be used for EMH, room key, and charging at a DS hotel? If I get my hotel reservation on a different website, will I have an issue...

    Disney Springs Hotels Bus Information

    Out of curiousity... its been awhile, but Disney used to increase bus frequency when there was higher demand. Do you think these will be monitored and adjusted as well?

    MyPoints Sneaky Snowflake's Links to Daily Chance to Win Points

    Thanks for posting the link. no points today, but I'll keep trying. Anyone remember when you could spin the wheel daily to win points? I did that one and won 5000 points! Between that and regular points I had earned, I had enough to get $50 gift card to Rain Forest Café and $50 gas card for...

    Transportation from Disney Springs Hotels

    I received conflicting opinions on the buses from the Disney Springs hotels, and wanted to hear others experiences. I've been told all of the following: * all hotels in DS share the same buses, so it takes 1-1.5 hours to get to the parks * buses run continually * buses only run 4x a day *...

    Freeport Excursions Ideas

    My family (4 adults, 3 kids) will be cruising in Jan 2016. Our ports are Nassau and Freeport. I'm looking for ideas for Freeport. We are planning the Blue Lagoon Island dolphin swim in Nassau. My youngest will be 8 on the trip, so something that she can participate in and enjoy as well. And...

    Things to do before our cruise leaves

    We spent the day enjoying the resort swimming pool. Cleaned up mid-afternoon and went to DTD to shop and eat dinner. After we took a bus to the Contemporary where we rode the monorail through Epcot just for the view, and ended up at Poly to watch MK fireworks and the electrical parade from the...

    Have EMH changed in the last few years?

    Thanks. That makes my decision to stay off property for the first time much easier. Prices keep going up, and perks going down. Now my family of 6 has 5 "adults", and I don't see any advantages that work for us and make it worth the money.

    Have EMH changed in the last few years?

    When visiting in the past, there was always one park open early, and another park open late. I looked at the EMH calendar the other day and it doesn't appear that there are many evening EMH listed anymore? Did I read that wrong, or have they changed the way they are doing them? EMH is my main...

    How accurate are CM's measuring sticks?

    My daughter was denied BTMRR because the CM could slide a business card between her head and the measuring stick! She was wearing cute sandals without much sole. The next day in her tennis shoes she was able to ride. Don't forget shoes can add an extra inch from when we are measuring barefoot...

    To DDP or not to DDP?

    Awesome link! Thanks for posting it. I've been trying to decide if DDP was worth it for my family, especially since 2 of my "adults" mostly eat mac and cheese! Found out that I come out $400 better OOP even with them counted as adults. Definitely going to skip DDP this time around!

    If I book using Disney Gift cards, and have to cancel...?

    Thanks! That is what I was afraid of. Maybe I'll just pay the deposit and then save the remainder until closer to my trip next summer...

    If I book using Disney Gift cards, and have to cancel...?

    I find that using gift cards bought at Target will save me over $300 on my trip. But if I need to cancel for some reason, would I get the money returned as a Disney gift card or cash? I'm concerned about tying up that much money with no possibility of getting it back if something happens.

    Can you pitch a tent at an RV site?

    Asking for a friend... They are considering camping in their RV, but their adult son would prefer to pitch a tent beside the camper. Is this allowed? Thanks!

    Hit the Parks Early, the room can wait...Your experience please.

    we did this a few years ago (before MB) and it worked great. We received a text around 4:00 telling us the room was ready. The only issue I saw was that in the past we have always gone straight to a room, where we had a 7 hour wait by using online check-in. but since we were in line for Splash...

    Resort Options for 6?

    Are the beds at AoA real beds or pullouts? I am concerned about the comfort of the beds in the suites because of the pullout couch and chairs.

    Resort Options for 6?

    I'm trying to decide the most cost effective way to book a trip for 6. It will be my husband and myself, and 4 kids ages 18, 13, 10, and 8. Deluxe resorts are out of my budget. I'm debating between connecting rooms at a value, a family suite at a value, and a cabin at Fort Wilderness. In the...
