    what to do when it rains, like Tropical Storm rain

    Throw on a poncho or rain coat, ignore the rain, and go have fun! Really, the crowds will be low and many attractions in the parks are indoors. We pay so much money for our vacation. I'm not going to let a little rain stop me :)

    Renting scooters without disabilities

    I see no problem with this at all. There is no rule that you have to even have a disability to rent a scooter. Renting a scooter has it's own set of problems such as cost, having to charge it, the possibility of having to wait on buses, letting groups of pedestrians go before you so you don't...

    Dress with what park?

    Speaking as a Grandmother, I hope you also have a pair of shorts and a t-shirt in your day pack. Dresses are pretty, but after a couple of hours they can become hot, itchy and downright uncomfortable. Better to be safe than sorry. We found that out the hard way!

    Which Came First - the Package or the Flight?

    Most airlines don't even come out with thier prices and flights till at least 6 months ahead. I'm surprised you already see flights for April! That's awesome! We know about a year or more ahead when we are going back. We book a room only reservation a year ahead. At the 6 month start of when...

    visa debit cards

    Just wondering why you would pick the visa debit over the disney gift card? Either one would work for most places on Disney property. The only place a visa would be better is if you go off property. I've never seen a food cart take either card. They aren't set up for it. If you plan to stay...

    safe place to park a scooter for hours

    I am prone to edema after being on my feet all day. When it gets bad, it triggers diabetic nerve pain in my feet and lower legs. I won't need to use a scooter in the morning and most of the afternoon, however I will probably start wanting to use it after dinner to be able to make it through to...

    Disney Prices - Do you have a breaking point?

    I have a strict budget for vacation. It doesn't matter where I decide to go, I have X amount of dollars and no more. I'd rather go to Disney and have been lucky so far that I can. If I happen to come under my budget, I can add on a tour or a hard ticket even. If I go over, I am working my...

    Behind the Seeds Tour

    My group wants to do the Behind the seeds tour. I was all for it till I saw it is an hour walking with a tour guide through Disney Hot houses. I have a problem with heat and high humidity. Has anyone with the same issues found this to be uncomfortable? Is there any air flow? Are you allowed to...

    Flight changed...add a day?

    I saw you said you were doing a park a day. If that IS what you are planning, cancel the hopper part of your tickets. You don't need it! That will cover the cost of the extra day.

    Gosh how do you make a decision and stick with it?

    We are only in the room to sleep, shower and dress so value is good enough for us.I really like the layout of Pop, so tend to stay there, but I'd have no trouble picking an All Star Resort if Pop wasn't available.

    Do you go to the parks in the same order every visit?

    We always do MK the first day. I never feel like I'm truely there unless I walk down Main street and see the castle. Last day is also MK so we can properly say good bye. In between, the days go by what days have night time extra magic hours We only get to go every couple of years, so I try to...

    getting the groups fast passes?

    The last time we went to Disney World, the magic bands hadn't been out yet. While the family was on a thrill ride that I don't do, I would be getting everyone's fast passes for the next ride. After our first 3 reserved rides, we need to use a kiosk. Is there still a way I can pick up everyone's...

    A different desert

    I am on a very low carb diet for my diabetes. Not every place has a dessert I can have. Even the ones saying no sugar added is probably loaded with catbs. Has anyone ever had any luck in just asking for a cup of coffee instead of a dessert? I am on the dinning plan.

    no appetizer with dining plan?

    We got them included in 2006 on our first trip. When we went back in 2008, they were gone.

    Disney Parks with Grandmas/Grandpas

    A lot depends on the grandparents. Knowing a little about them would help. Age? Any mobility issues? Early risers? Night owls? I'm a grandma and went with all 5 of my grandchildren and their parents 4 years ago. At the time, the oldest was 9 and youngest was 5. Everyday I outlasted them all...

    Checking in a minor

    This was very confusing when my friend first approached me with this, so I am going to try to keep it simple. 4 families are all going together to Disney World next October. All are staying at Pop Century. The reservations are all connected in that we will have 5 separate rooms, but are there...

    IT'S OFFICIAL!!!****OCTOBER 2014****...ROLL CALL!! Join the party!

    I forgot to say the resort! We're staying at Pop Century. I think my kids will get a kick out of seeing stuff they used to do/play with as kids that they've probably totally forgotten. I can show my grandkids stuff from even further back when I was a kid. We're taking the kids out of school for...

Namely Tortuga Tavern and Friar's Nook, both in MK.My problem is both locations are listed as seasonal. I have no...
