    Would anyone else love to see all-day breakfast served somewhere on-site?

    Would anyone else love to see all-day breakfast served somewhere on-site?

    We usually eat a minimal breakfast and hit the ground running. Don't want to miss the shorter, early morning lines! During our last visit, I absolutely craved breakfast for dinner. Dinner is when we usually slow down and enjoy a meal together as a family. I was so frustrated to find no options...

    Hosting a Foreign Exchange Student

    Depending on what type of Visa your student is coming on, there may be a stipend. This is money given to you each month to help pay for extra expenses. This can range from a couple of hundred dollars a month to a thousand. It depends on the school and the cost of living where you live. Our...

    Hosting a Foreign Exchange Student

    Hosting can be a wonderful experience, but make sure the student sounds like they will be a good fit for your family personality wise. Some problems that you may run into are study habits and academic struggles. Not all countries require home work and some students have a very challenging time...

    Holiday shipping delay vent!!!

    I am currently steaming at the Disney Store. I purchased on the 10th and it looks like the products wont be making it. I called last week and was assured the package would arrive before Christmas. 40 minute delay to talk to customer service. It's obvious now that it wont get here in time. Gifts...

    $1700 DL photography experience!!!

    I would say that this is somewhat comparable to the prices they charge for wedding photo packages. In their defense, it would seem they are opening up unique chances for photo ops to those who can afford it. I really have no problem with that. I'm guessing people ask about it all the time. It...

    Think twice about staying at Saratoga Springs!

    Perhaps you will try our SSR technique next time. First, stand at the bus stop and wait 15 minutes. Next, decide you could drive there faster. Then, hustle for your car. Finally, the bus to your destination will show up as you are loading up in your car. Worked every time.

    What was the biggest Disney meltdown you've witnessed?

    While waiting in line for Toy Story, we were preceded by a family that included an older lady riding an electric cart. The cart was loaded with all of their packages, including a couple of drinks with straws in front cup holders. At some point, one of the drinks gets spilled on the floor. In the...

    At what age do you stop taking kids out of school?

    We minimized it during middle school and stopped completely during high school. Strangly enough, it was the kids who refused to miss school. It was just too challenging to make up the work and miss content.

    Can you buy park tickets anywhere else?

    Undercover Tourist sells them as an official dealer. (Not sure if I can mention other sites?) If you buy e-tickets you will need to go to will-call the first day. If you buy paper tickets, there shouldn't be a problem linking them. Both methods are recognized by the Disney system and allow you...

    This is an interesting idea. I was thinking of maybe an e-reader as well.

    I do believe that the celebration tries to have festivities at certain parks on certain days. The DIS has last years schedule here: http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-gay-days.htm. It mentions that the chosen park can have upwards of 50,000 people on these days.

    How bad is the first week in June really??

    With Fast Passes and a plan, it was doable. The biggest problem with June was how unbelievably hot it was. Heat was the big game changing factor. We finally settled on afternoons back at the hotel and then back to the parks in the evening.

    Lunch with an Imagineer - Glass Plate

    Was there last summer and still received a black plate signed by the imaginer who we dined with. Free. The experience was one of the best we have had at Disney. Highly recommend.

    18 year old making reservation at resorts; Credit card question

    Ok, I called! Not sure why I didn't just call before. :rolleyes: I called one of the value resorts directly and they said 18 was old enough to rent a room (as the website says). They also said that, once they check-in, anyone's credit card can be linked to the reservation. So, at check-in, I...

    18 year old making reservation at resorts; Credit card question

    This makes me nervous. I fear that the website will say one thing and then they might find out a different story upon arrival.
