    Can luggage be sent ahead on the Magical Express while we go directly to the park?

    In order to maximize our park time on our first day, would it be possible for us to just let our luggage to to our resort on the Magical Express while we get an Uber or something and go directly to a park (probably Magic Kingdom)? Seems like it might be possible to gain an hour or two of park...

    Photo Connect Online Prices Increasing July 8th

    We were able to get Photo Connect for ~$60 for the three day Universal portion of our trip in early June and we really enjoyed it, but a 50% increase is hard to swallow even by Disney/Universal standards. It seems they are trying to get in line with Disney's Memory Maker but Memory Maker...

    Garden Grocers - who has used them?

    What we saved on our trip getting a couple of cases of water vs. paying 2.75 a bottle in the parks made it well worth it.

    Paper Tickets?

    A word of warning: We had the Hot Topic Harry Potter lanyards on our trip last week and they are not as waterproof as the ones from the park that have the ziploc plastic pouches. The Hot Topic ones had plastic pouches but were open at the top. Take care with your paper tickets/express...

    Airtran

    I too loved flying AirTran out of CAK, but the issue I noticed when booking last year was that they only had one non stop per day to Orlando (at least they did last summer when we flew). We booked earlier than we normally would have to get the non stop flight. They also charge extra to pick...

    Disney on Ice discounts?

    If you work for a large company, make sure to check with your HR department for employee discounts. We went last weekend and my Cleveland area employer had an offer for $3 off per ticket for some shows, and more importantly, a flat $5 service charge for the entire order.

    Wii games for newbies?

    We got our Wii for Christmas last year and have probably bought a dozen games intended for the kids (DD6 and DD9) and family. We have played Mario Party as much as the rest of the games combined. If you can regularly get 2 or 3 players together, I think it's the best Wii game out there.

    Outer Banks vacation rentals for 2011

    We are planning a family get together in the Outer Banks in July, 2011 and are looking to rent a house that will accomodate 22 (11 adults, 11 children). So we would probably need a 9 or 10 bedroom house. We've stayed at the OBX in the Nags Head area before. Does anyone here have a good...

    Disney Visa Meet and Greet

    I've been meaning to post on this. This was an absolute hit on our July trip. Once we found the place, we strolled in and were the only ones there with Minnie and Goofy. My DD6 particulary wanted Minnie and she was thrilled. Nice pictures of my girls, my whole family, and my MiL. The...

    Fanny Packs for Kids

    I've been looking for new fanny packs for DD6 and DD9, and they've been surprisingly hard to come by around here. The few I've seen have been very plain and adult sized. I've struck out at my usual sources (Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon). Seen any good ones?
