    In your opinion what is the most overrated thing in WDW?

    Boardwalk and Yacht Club if I'm honest, not because I think they're terrible (they're beautiful and well-maintained!) but because when I was little it was the only place my parents wanted to stay year after year, and let me tell you I was so bummed to be surrounded by subtly-themed decor when I...

    Thinking of cruising sans younger kids, opinions appreciated!

    I went on my first Disney Cruise/first cruise ever just last year with my dad and my little sister (she's turning 6 this year); it was a four day Bahamian on the Disney Dream and while Nassau was a bit of a bust for a number of reasons, ultimately I really enjoyed the trip and the itch to go...

    Child harness

    Really I never understood how this topic gets so overheated. :rotfl: People say it's demeaning to a child to put them on a leash, but usually we're talking about a toddler who'd be happy to run in his/her underwear in public without a care in the world. Now yes, I understand that both...

    wearing VANS in the parks?

    I have a pair of skater shoes I love to wear that are similar. They haven't much cushioning or support, but because they're so thin and so thoroughly broken in it's absolutely comfortable beyond compare. (they're not too constricting or heavy that they put unnatural pressure or rub on my feet) I...

    The I Love Animal Kingdom Club

    Add me as well!! :) This is one of my favorite parks for the atmosphere. (huge animal lover!) I never go when it's unbearably hot or crowded, so going to AK is just a relaxing fun day of walking and taking in some fresh, forrest-y air. :rotfl:

    Afraid to go to parks with friend

    First off, I have to agree that this issue is something you should probably let go of over a cup of hot chocolate coupled with deep breathing. (It always helps, lol!) You can't change people's minds for them, and to try to would probably be taken as an insult instead of help. Having said...

    A Daily Lesson in Parenting and Manners: A TR by a real life Wicked Stepmom!

    After lurking here for about a month, I just had to jump in and say... ...Your TR is awesome! Now please for the love of all things sacred in this world, write more! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    the 6YO doesn't wanna walk

    Judge according to how she handles things as far as her personality is concerned. That'd be the best advice I can give!:rotfl: When I was 4, on my first trip to WDW, my mom and dad dragged me everywhere and not once did I get a break to rest unless it was a ride, parade, restaurant meal or...

    Appropriate clothing for Boma and Coral Reef

    Because the Coral Reef is located in one of the parks, I always assumed it was fine to wear whatever you've been walking in all day. It's still a lovely restaurant, though, so if you want to dress up, I think it's a nice touch. I haven't eaten at Boma, but I have eaten at Jiko's. Now, at...

    Should Kids eat the Zebra Domes?

    It doesn't fire anything up, honestly. I think the issue was the difference between eggs bought for home cooking and eggs supplied to restaurants for general consumption. After reading it over, I think eggs you buy at the local market may or may not be pasteurized, but eggs bought as supplies...

    Question about Dueling Dragons

    I love this ride to death! :goodvibes Okay, I had to get it out of the way. Anyway, this summer my boyfriend and I are trying to make a trip out to both WDW and Universal/IoA. I know that Harry Potter is in the works, but I'm not sure exactly what is going on...So forgive my lack of...

    Talk me into riding Tower of Terror

    Don't ride it alone. That much I am serious about! Have someone there holding you hand the whole time. That way if you get scared, you'll have someone to turn to. :goodvibes I am petrified of heights. I hate railings and being by them, I hate the slow upwards climb on a rollercoaster while...

    How to transform Grumpy

    Hmm, it sounds like you're off to a good start! You've got the idea, the best way to make someone like the World is to play it their way. Does he have any things besides camping that he likes? If he likes fishin, horseback riding or golfing, a certain type of food, etc.. there are so many...

    Celebration worth visiting?

    Unfortunately I was just too young to care about names, so I can't say for sure whether or not I'm right. Though in the second link you provided, the best guess I can make is that it may have been the Columbia Restaurant. Which isn't listed in the first link you gave me...so it might not be...

    Celebration worth visiting?

    I don't remember much about Celebration except that I first went there when I was little and Mulan was first coming out. We went to go see the movie at the little theatre there. I thought it was really pretty, and I'd never seen a neighboorhood like it! For some reason I remember there...

    If I were in Disney where would I be right now????

    2:39 pm: I'd be in the Magic Kingdom! Snacking on some piping hot fresh popcorn swimming in butter and sipping coke out of a mug the size of my head! MMMmmmmmmmmm.... :goodvibes (Most likely gearing up for my 27th trip to Never Never Land, or Phillarmagic!)

    I've made a decision...

    :woohoo: Yes! I totally agree with this....but I just have to add my thoughts: -All park guests should recieve upon entry into the parks an "Emergency Whacking Stick". A short light-up wand proudly bearing Mickey's smiling face, used to bludgeon those pesky people who believe that standing up...
