    Gift Cards at resort

    I understand a hold is put on your credit card ($100??) and if you go over that your card will automatically be charged and another hold will be put on the card. So... if it is a $100 hold and during our day in the park we go over that - very likely- our cc will be charged before we have the...

    Paying hotel balance with gift cards

    A little off topic, but wondering about using magic band in parks and paying off magic band balance with gift cards rather than direct to cc. Looks like as long as we don't go over $100 hold on the card it's okay, but is there a way around that?

    Horse Drawn Trolly

    I'd like to revive this thread. Is the trolley still happening and if so, what is my best chance of riding/seeing it? Heading back August 2019.

    16th Birthday at Magic Kingdom

    We're going to start our day at the Magic Kingdom on my daughter's 16th birthday. I'm looking for some ideas about anything we may be able to do to make the day extra special. We've been many, many times and we know about the happy birthday buttons. I know to mention that it's her birthday...

    Using Old Magic Bands- 2015 16- battery life?

    Has anyone used older magic bands recently? I have magic bands from 2015ish that I am planning to add new tickets to. I know the predicted battery life says they no longer work- but I've hear they do. Not staying on property so I can't update the bands. Do they still work?

    Magic Bands - battery life

    Similar question- I have several magic bands for members if my family. Some are recent (August 2017) some are old (April 2015). What are the chances the old ones still work? I've heard the battery doesn't last too long. If I add a ticket to it will my son run into trouble going into the parks?

    Buses from Disney Springs to the Resorts - How Early?

    You can walk into Magic Kingdom from the Contemporary. It's a quick easy walk from the bus stop.

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    Thanks for the link. Great to see the new studios. Not crazy about the new look or the layout. Loved the old Boardwalk style- I know it's probably out of date now, but still liked it- not sure I want my room to look like I'm at a Marriott or Hyatt- I liked knowing I was a t Disney World...

    Ideas to celebrate after cancer cured?

    We had dinner at Coral Reef (EPCOT) after my mother in law recovered from cancer. You can request ahead of time that a diver in the tank hold up a sign for you and that you get a special menu with a message on it. We requested same day and got a wonderful surprise for her when our menus had a...

    Norway A.M. (After Maelstrom)

    Ugghh! I hope that this doesn't turn into a Frozen attraction in World Showcase... I want to be able to still feel the "world showcase" aspect. I'm okay with characters being integrated and I get updating the ride (although I don't like it), but making the whole pavilion Frozen themed will...

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    Can you tell us more about the tour? We've stayed at BW lots of times and I've never seen or heard about the tour. Sounds fun. How do you sign up? Where does it start? How often/what time does it happen? How long is it?

    BOG Breakfast pre-order or not

    Pre-order it is then! Thank you all. I didn't realize it was two different lines. Now that I think about it I can only imagine the wait for kiosk to order (kind of like fastpass) being a nightmare. Didn't think about pre-ordering the night before. That would be perfect. We have ADR before...

    BOG Breakfast pre-order or not

    Pros and cons of pre-order? Doing Be Our Guest breakfast for the first time. Trying to decide whether or not to pre-order. Seems like it is a time saver, but I'm not sure about ordering ahead of time since who knows how hungry I'll be or what I will feel like eating that day. Is it really...

    Soarin' Closed Jan 4, 2016 through Summer 2016

    I agree! I hate losing Norway but have accepted that it's going to Frozen- EPCOT still remains to be my favorite park. Lots still to do (for kids and adults). That being said, I am really sad that Soarin' film will change. Makes me feel like I need to go before January to see it one last time!

    What popular rides are due for refurbishment?

    I love the idea of adding on to Soarin so that wait times will be shorter, but... refurb sounds like it will change the whole film and close the whole ride. I feel like I need to plan a trip right now to see Soarin for the last time! And why can't they add on while keeping some of it open?

    2016 Disney Armed Forces Salute announced today

    Just called Vero Beach and was told they don't sell any Disney tickets at all (including Armed Forces Salute). Oh-well, was worth a shot.
