    EVC on Blue Boat to Hoop Dee Doo Review?

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum or asking the right question, but I'm sure my DIS friends will be able to point me in the right direction. Staying at the Contemporary. Dinner at Hoop Dee Doo. When I was more mobile, we used to go there on the Blue flag boat from hotel to Ft Wilderness...

    Single digits, 9 days and anxiety hits

    I hear you! The good news is - don't panic, there is always a plan "B" at Disney. Had a similar experience in 2015. Just got out of the hospital the week before our trip with very unexpected heart, lung and circulation problems. Although I had no trouble walking on previous trips, by the...

    Extra Time for Getting On and Off the Rides

    I have a difficult time getting around due to declining vision problems and some mobility issues. I am VERY anxious about the time it might take me to get on and off the rides. Do CMs take this info account when boarding people? How long can I expect someone to wait for me to crawl into/out of...

    Recommendations for "Personal Item" size luggage

    I use Delsey Quilted Rolling Underseat tote for my carry on. It's roomy for its size, and has organizing compartments for easy access during the flight. It has wheels, but can be carried like a tote. Fits under the seat and has front access so you don't have to pull it out, put it back in...

    VIP Tours - Email Address?

    I've been communicating with my VIP person, and her email is "her name" @disney.com. Not sure if there is general email for that department. The main telephone number is 407/560.4033. Hope that helps!

    Optional castle photo (during construction)

    Is there ANYWHERE in the Magic Kingdom that you can currently take an unobstructed photo of the castle during hub construction? I think I can remove the crane in the background if I can get a picture without the barriers. Trying not to get my hopes up, but.... :wizard: a person can wish!

    Pros/Cons of ground floor rooms at Wilderness Lodge?

    We had the same kind of room, ground floor, courtyard view and bunk beds. Didn't request it, but couldn't find a con except: CONS: you don't have the view of a top floor (as our previous visit) and the ducks - PLEASE be careful of the ducks. They are beggers and they have NO fear!! Pool...

    Pros/Cons of On Line Check In

    Would like to get a room as high up as possible at Contemporary. Last time (several years) we just asked when we physically checked in. I've read that it's better to ask in person, and I've also read that you have a better chance at getting a "preferred" room if you do the on line check in...

    Ideas for Birthday Surprise

    I'm not sure as it was a few years ago - but it did cost a couple hundred dollars - but I think that you can put 8-10 people on the boat, so if you have a group, it is very cost effective. I've even heard of people (on this site) sharing the cost of the boat (4 from your group, 3 from theirs)...

    Ideas for Birthday Surprise

    I had a similar problem when we took a trip for my daughter's 18th B-Day. Everything too expensive or not quite up to par. Instead of decorating the room, I rented a pontoon boat to take us out on the water for the wishes fireworks. Complete surprise for my daughter!! They decorated the...

    What Kind of Movies at Sci-Fi?

    There are several clips on You Tube that you could look at to give you a sense of what goes on in the restaurant. I just did a search for disney's sci-fi restaurant. Hope that helps!

    Tears :(

    To keep the Disney magic alive, have you considered having your daughter write (or draw a picture) to her favorite character at WDW? It is my understanding that she will receive a card in the post from a character in 6 weeks or so after her letter is received at WDW. I know that is not the...

    I am in need of some advice from the Dis experts

    I would also recommend the wishes cruise. I took my Mom and daughter to dinner in the Grand Floridian and then we hopped our own pontoon boat to watch the fireworks. Snacks and beverages were provided. The driver took us back to our hotel (Wilderness Lodge) after the show was over! It was a...

    Caricatures

    The only place we've had them done was in DTD (there is a Kiosk) and at Wilderness Lodge (we were staying there - didn't go out of our way)
