    DoubleTree Guest Suites - the good? the bad? the ugly?

    We stayed here last August. The newly renovated rooms are beautiful! Very modern. The only thing I did not like was the parking fee. Yes, it is farthest hotel from DTD, but the walk was not bad. I made it with a 7 and 10 year old in the August heat. The pool is basic, but there also is a...

    WDW and Immune Supression (and a hair loss question)?

    Hi! I have Lupus and RA and am currently on low doses of cellcept, methotrexate, plaquinel, celebrex and others. With lupus, please remember that sun can cause flares. A big hat and high level of sunscreen is a must! Also, like others have said, use lots of hand sanitizer and clorax...

    Crowds 3rd week of August? Stay on site for express pass or for free at Doubletree?

    Yes, we have been to Disney is August before and know the heat is brutal and suffocating (I know we are crazy for going again at this time of year!:)). However, we will only be there for one day and will not be taking a swim break as we will have already checked out of our hotel. So the big...

    Crowds 3rd week of August? Stay on site for express pass or for free at Doubletree?

    Hi! We will be spending one day, August 21, at IOA before heading to Disney. I was wondering how crowds are typically the third week of August on a weekday? We can stay for free on hotel points at the Doubletree, but if it is going to be very crowded we might stay on sight to get the express...

    Hilton Doubletree Suites DTD

    The hotel looked just like the pictures on the website. I think the 2 bedroom suites are more updated than the one bedroom. The one bedroom that we stayed in for 6 nights was always very clean. Probably not as modern as Bonnet Creek, (I have never stayed there, only seen pictures) but I...

    Hilton Doubletree Suites DTD

    Hi, we stayed here the week of Thanksgiving and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel rooms are very clean, but a bit dated. We loved the extra space of the suite, but be aware that it is only a bi-fold door that separates the two rooms, so some light and noise does come through. My...

    Ok, since we are going in November I called the Hilton Bonnet Creek and asked about EMH and they said they do not participate. I think the CMs are confused!

    Hilton WDW or Hilton Bonnet Creek???

    When are you planning to go? Hilton DTD has extra magic hours that can really come in handy if you are going during a busy time of year. I've heard Bonnet Creek is amazing, but we have stayed at the Hilton DTD and it is directly across the street from the Market Place and the added bonus of...

    Curvy jeans spinoff, no hips, little butt, post-baby belly

    I too have the same problem as all of you! I am short, 5'1 and have found that Tommy Hillfiger jeans fit best. I get them at the outlet when they have sales. I still need to get them hemmed, because even their short jeans run too long, but it is worth it. I get stylish jeans and they fit all...

    Methotrexate - what can you tell me?

    I was on Methotrexate on and off for the past 8 years. I have lupus and it really helped control the disease. My dosage ranged from 12.5- 15 mg. Yes you can't drink and you should use back up birth control. Also, it can cause sun sensitivity, so make sure to wear good sunscreen. I also had...

    Hilton Downtown Disney

    We stayed there last April using our Hilton honors points. We were upgraded to a tower suite with a view of Downtown Disney. We had a great view of the fireworks! We also had access to the 9th floor concierge. We would definitely stay there again!

    Kia Anyone?

    We have a Kia Rondo which seats 7. Now, I would not want to put two adults in the third row but for kids it's fine. If you do not use the third row there is a lot of cargo room. With the third row in use, there is very little room. I love this car and the way it drives, which is a lot like...

    In need of encouraging words...dd has peanut allergy!

    I forgot to add that ds does have a medical alert bracelet that I ordered from the medical alert company. www.medicalalert.com I chose this company because there is a number on the bracelet that EMS can call to get his full medical history. He is very used to the bracelet and does not...
