    The Animal Kingdom Debate

    AK has over the years become my family's favorite park. All my DGD4 talks about her trip in April is returning to AK so she can finish her Wilderness Explorer badges, go on the Safari again and see the animals. The character interaction is not as chaotic and spread out over the park. Not...

    The Positive Thread..Going to WDW in 3 days!

    OP, thank you for this thread. I have had 3 different friends visit WDW, use FP+ and no complaints. They all had wonderful vacations. We are looking forward to our trip in two weeks. For the last 8 years, it's been just my DH and me taking our yearly trip to WDW. Flower and Garden is one...

    Great Moments with Walt Disney DVC event

    My DH was commenting that the old black and white TV they first put on the screen was like the one his parents had. I don't remember what my parents' first TV was like but I remember watching "The Wonderful World of Color" on a pop up color TV. But I do remember watching The Mickey Mouse Club...

    Great Moments with Walt Disney DVC event

    Yes, NO SALES PITCH!! It was very interesting. Tim O'Day provided a lot of back story. Young children under 8 probably would be bored. We had a 9 year old in our party, she was a little antsy but really picked up on the humor of some of the clips. We had a conversation with Tim O'Day and...

    Great Moments with Walt Disney DVC event

    We arrive from the west coast at 5 pm on the 13th. What is interesting is that the first time I saw the email, I was too late to sign up. Then a week later, I received another email with only 1:30 pm open. AND then a week later, I received one for WDW:confused3 I'm thinking we were...

    Great Moments with Walt Disney DVC event

    We are going to the 1:30 pm show in Anaheim tomorrow. I'm guessing that there will be a sales pitch since each DVC reservation allows you to bring 6 guests. I'll be sure to check in tomorrow night when we get back.

    Aulani - Whole Foods

    There is a natural good store Down to Earth in Kapolei, I think in the Target shopping center. It is vegan, we did find most of what my daughter needed (she's gluten intolerant). It was pricey, but it may have what you need and it's close to Aulani. Otherwise, Whole Foods is in Kahala...

    Fave sit down restaurant in DCA

    Another vote for Wine Country Trattoria. We enjoy sitting on the patio. Carthay Circle was good but we prefer to pay a little bit more and go to Napa Rose.

    Not to be missed desserts... Suggestions please!

    The Double Chocolate Bread Pudding from Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen in DTD to die for. Takes 25 minutes to make, but well worth the wait.

    Unique Foods to Disneyland

    I don't know if these items are at WDW, but the kiosk in the new Fantasy Faire with the Boysen- Apple slush and the garlic cheese roll...to die for. My new favorite snack at Disneyland. There is also new offerings at the counter next to the Magical Map theatre. I was told that the new resort...

    Polynesian DVC starting in 2013 - How exciting!

    Just told my DH the rumor...he's putting our guide's number on speed dial. He loves the Poly and his DVC. The possibility of the two together has put a big smile on his face. His ""Happy Place" just got happier...oh, wait did I just say thatpixiedust: We spend too much time at Disneyland;)

    Arriving late at night for Aulani - what would you do?

    Last month, we arrived late into the airport and didn't arrive until 11 pm at Aulani. The CMs that greeted us were wonderful and so helpful BUT we missed the mini tour of the lobby and the walk out to the look out over the valley (which I personally think might challenge SSR's rockers DTD...

    Eating at Aulani (and around)

    When we were there in January, I asked the concierge for a map of the stores/restaurants in Kapolei. Wonderful resource to have. We arrived around 11pm and were starving. The cast members directed us to Zippy's, just a few minutes away from Aulani, open 24 hours. When we used to visit my...

    Let's talk about the Napa Rose - UPDATE: We went last night 2/13/13. Full report.

    We love Napa Rose. Chef's Counter is our favorite way to go (Chef Sutton has been able to get my DH to eat foods, he wouldn't ever try before.) The times we weren't at the counter, we let the servers recommend our menu and wine. I would second the scallops, delicious!! Sighh, we didn't go...

    Pinch me, did it REALLY happen????? - All wrapped up, and yes, it DID happen!

    OMG, back just in time for THE ROAST!!! Looks delicious, just the way I like it. My DH would say it would need to go back into the oven for a few more minutes;) Love your pictures. Hoping to convince my DH to stay at least one time at AKV. My DD and I stayed there right before she...

    Hmm, we were in room 1677/1679(studio). My DD and DSIL had a similar view from their studio, but it is considered an island/garden view.

    Aulani Villas & Views -- REVISED 07/22/2017

    We just got back from Aulani this week. We had an island/garden 2 lock off 2 bedroom in the Ewa building 16th floor. Imagine our surprise to walk out on the balcony and look to the right and see the OCEAN!!! I will post pictures as soon as I have more time to download them to shutter fly. My...

    Pinch me, did it REALLY happen????? - All wrapped up, and yes, it DID happen!

    I'm in. And YOU ARE GOING! Sending you and Fran all kinds of positive vibes! Loved your other reports. Plus we need another dose of WDW TR, since I don't know that a WDW trip is in the works for us this year. DH is very disappointed. Too many other things happening...although my niece will...
