    Last minute trip to WDW completed

    Last Saturday, August 8, I decided to take my son (11) on a quick trip to WDW. Being DVC members we quickly made reservations at AKL - Kidani with no problems for 8/9-8/14. In fact, we could've stayed at anywhere we wanted as all properties had availability. We left out early on Sunday and...

    Grocery Delivery Question

    Since there is no special check-in for the Villas at the GCH I'm going to assume that the Bell Desk will receive the delivery. No alcohol, so we should be fine. Thanks for your help.

    Grocery Delivery Question

    My daughter and I have a first time visit to DL and are staying at the GCH - DVC Villas... We'd like to have groceries delivered to the GCH... I've already done some online shopping at Vons... I was wondering if we are not there to meet the delivery person will the CM's at the GCH accept it and...

    Refrigerator at RPR?

    We were there two weeks ago at RP... Refrigerators were not in the rooms... however they did bring one in upon request... (seems like there is a fee for this - ours was complimentary because we needed it for my daughter's insulin.) refreshment pantry I would guess is simply the bottled water and...

    Gringotts strategy when early entry is at IOA

    We were there two weeks ago and EE was only offered at IOA... that week the first train out of IOA was at 8:30am... it seemed to us that we beat most of the crowd coming from the main US gate... although I don't know what time the US gate was opened... if they opened at 8:45am the first train...

    Early Park Entry from Cabana Bay

    Remember that Cabana Bay doesn't come with EE as it does with the other onsite hotels

    UO newbie--restaurant res., pressed pennies, autographs???

    We were there two weeks ago... low crowds... obviously we didn't need reservations for any of the restaurants... there never seemed to be a crowd at any of the HP eateries... Autographs... to be honest we didn't see that many characters... definitely not as many as at WDW... Not even sure how...

    Few Questions

    You can purchase the EP at the parks if you are staying offsite. One thing to remember is that the EP line is always a shorter que... even though many times the wait times were 5 or 10 minutes two weeks ago when we were there, we always used the EP line simply for the shorter walk to the loading...

    cross body small bag ok or not?

    I was there two weeks ago but Hulk or HRRR were the only things I didn't ride. I had no problem with my phone in my pocket on everything else.

    Early Entry change...

    First train from IOA to US is at 8:30am... when were there two weeks ago taking the HE to US seemed to be a better plan than lining up at the US gate... that is if you wanted to do some of the HP attractions in IOA with no waits at all. We did everything HP in IOA in the EE hour.

    First timer- do we really need EP??

    We just returned from Universal, stayed onsite, and utilized EP every morning. At this time of the year EP is only offered at IOA. So every morning we arrived at the gate by 7:30am and was always one of the first 20 people there. The gates opened between 7:45 and 7:50am each morning. The only...

    Best rooms at royal pacific

    RP is run by Loews... We were there earlier in the week and had a "Garden View" room. However, the room actually had a very good view of the parks. We were in Tower 2, Rm #2740. There are seven floors in each tower... the higher up, obviously the better the view. I think any of the "Garden View"...

    Tips on getting to Ride Gringotts

    I agree with Kbelle (was there yesterday myself)... I will say that if IOA is the only one with Early Entry, going to IOA then getting on the first HEXP trip to UO seemed to beat most, if not everyone coming from the UO main entrance. Seemed like we were in Diagon Alley by 8:45 - 8:50am... - Ken

    Transportation Options from Disney to Universal/IOA

    Just returned from a trip to Universal, flying in and out of Sanford... I want to give Orlando Airport Towncar Service a shout out... excellent service, best price that I could find, would highly recommend. It's a small company that really takes care of you. - Ken

    We are also coming into Sanford on Allegiant. We have a reservation with Orlando Airport Towncar Service... our rate was around $170 RT with a grocery stop. This will be our first time so I have no idea how the service is. - Ken

    Help with MK EMH Plan

    Haven't been to WDW in several years... last time I loved using TGM and his plans. We utilized the grace period for fastpasses. It sure made planning easier. With the change I'm having a harder time. I've tried Touringplans.com but have found their customizable planning tools sorely lacking. So...
