    Chefs de France and Food Allergies

    We've eaten there twice with DD who has food allergies (varied by trip). They were outstanding! Because she's had so many different food issues, she's turned into a picky eater. Not only did they work with us, they made her something special that was off menu. Don't recall what it was but she...

    Ugh!! Vent

    Best for that would be through WDW. However, July 4th week? I'd bank on them opening at 8am. I think dropping the ADR if they do is a good move. I'd keep the ADR unless/until it officially changes, though.

    So what shoes are you wearing?

    I'm a total flipflop girl, too. I had great luck this month wearing them in the parks. I alternated Volatile flipflops with Toms or my running shoes. Running shoes only for Epcot or DHS (no water rides). The key to flipflops is finding some that are super comfy to you, and wearing them ahead...

    The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

    I am not trying to be a downer on this thread, but wanted to post some info from our trip earlier this month. We had serious issues with the AC in our room (no air blew into secondary bedroom at all, plus no fan). It seems this is an occasional issue here. If this does happen, you need to...

    The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread! (pics and reviews)

    I wouldn't worry about the karaoke unless you are on a low floor right next to the pool. It IS loud. We were on the 8th floor, corner room overlooking the pool between 2/3. It was torturous on the balcony, but you couldn't hear it inside. Thank goodness.

    Just back from WBC... thoughts

    I don't really think that a room that is well over 80 degrees is a minor complaint. The maintenance people all told us that it's a design flaw and they indicated it's all two bedrooms. I don't think that's right, but it does sound like it's common. I also don't think that having to stay up...

    Is there a problem with waiting?

    Wow. I guess that I should be happy that for the most part, I don't let what other people do upset me. I let a couple of parents/kids pass me this last week after an emergency potty break-- not even in long lines. Even if they're lying, I'm not going to let it upset me. Life's too short and...

    H.I. Express lbv On palm parkway?

    We stayed here for one night about 3 years ago. Room was very clean and quite large. I don't remember a balcony at all, though. Could swear it was just a large window, but my memory may be wrong. Pool looked cute but on the small side. Breakfast was nice. Staff was friendly. No complaints...

    Just back from WBC... thoughts

    So we didn't get off to the best start at WBC. Checked in Fri, June 2 at 4pm. Nominal wait. Front desk guy was super nice. My only request was for a refurb room with flat screen and new bedding. Oh, and a non-parking garage view. He told me they were all done. Didn't sound right, but I...

    Bonnet Creek PAY IT FORWARD..PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW FOR NEW THREAD!

    So the skinny on BIN 2. You don't need to buy any coffee filters. There's a permanent one in there and we added some paper ones as well. Three child sized WDW ponchos. Assume they're all child sized-- we only unfolded one and the others looked the same. Such a nice donation! I threw in 10...

    @ WBC-- need help!

    Sorry. Been a little busy. ;). Realized I never even asked my real question which was if others had AC issues too. Maintenance was great and helped us work around it. Feel like I'm personally killing polar bears with it running so much though. Really do like the resort. Bldg 2, 8th floor...

    @ WBC-- need help!

    Desk staff is horrid. On my phone so details later. But for now, the AC in our 2nd bedroom is not cooling. Doesn't blow at all. It's so hot! Up until 2am dealing with it when front desk closed out our ticket without it getting done. They just came out and told us all units are this way. Have to...

    Bonnet Creek PAY IT FORWARD..PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW FOR NEW THREAD!

    We leave tomorrow. There's a one month gap between me and the next person for bin #2. Wonder if that will be a problem. Anyone know? I'll also assess the bin and post back with contents. If it needs an actual rubbermaid tote, I'll try to pick that up while we're there.

    Anybody dealt with sciatica while at WDW???

    Steroids shots and/or oral steroids are what have helped me in the past (except when pregnant... that was just torture). The RX anti-inflammatory medications really are much better, too. Before you go, lots of rest. Yoga, stretching, and strength training help tremendously but I don't think...

    Bonnet Creek PAY IT FORWARD..PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW FOR NEW THREAD!

    Does anyone know what kind of box we have for PIF #2? Should I bring a rubbermaid bin so that one is more durable as well? Also, we've got a one month gap after me. Need some more people!

    Does anyone "police" HomeAway.com?

    I've never used Homeaway for an Orlando rental, but I have used them in several other locations. Never been anything but very pleased. Check for reviews and lots of recent photos. If there's no photo of the kitchen or something that would obviously be a big deal, there's probably a reason for...

    Do you follow a touring plan with 3 year old?

    This. It's helpful for the first few attractions, even when it's not terribly crowded, then do your own thing. We always did that when the kids were little and had no issues at all. Touring plans are fine, just don't shove your head in the book and bolt for the next ride. When it's not as...

    Need help with our plans! Help!

    I'm a HUGE fan of touringplans.com. But you can get too caught up in it, and I think you're headed there (no offense!). When you're talking within a point or so, I certainly wouldn't switch things around. Any minimal difference in lines is going to be offset by doing extra hopping. Don't...

    OT - Help...DD1 is always sick...

    Awww, poor baby. Another ditto to the skin testing. Please, please, please... don't do the blood testing. It's highly inaccurate. My poor DD ended up being off eggs, wheat, soy, nuts and... something else... for a couple of years and in the end, she was really only allergic to eggs. Another...
