    Has anyone been able to get into Trader Sam's?

    We went on a Sat during the week of 4th of July. It was around 10ish. No wait, one or two empty tables and space at the bar. I think before 8 it's more crowded because you can bring your kids. If you don't care about that, wait until later and then go. It was fun.

    what college/univ give kids a tuition break if a parent works there?

    I went to Rochester Institute of Technology. Back 20 years ago when I was there I had a classmate who was the daughter of a professor who had 100% tuition paid for and the niece of someone who worked in the Admin building (Accountant I think) that got like 30% tuition and board covered. Hmmm. I...

    WORST DISNEY DINING EXPERIENCE

    Worst service was San Angel Inn a few years back. The line to check in was so long, we were on-line long before 15 mins before our reservation time, didn't make it to the desk until 30 mins after our time and got scolded for being late. They would "let it slide" but made us wait 90 mins after...

    Formal night?

    We found that formal night was a great time to hit the pool. We like to skip at least one MDR for several reasons, not the least of which is we just can't eat like that every night. Kids enjoy a nearly empty pool and short lines on the Aquaduck. We actually ate from room service because we...

    Cabana of choice and why.....

    How likely is it to get a family beach cabana if you're only silver and on the Fantasy? We're traveling for the first time with the grandparents and they would enjoy CC so much more with a cabana. FIL has some health issues. This is likely their only cruise and something MIL has been dreaming...

    Last day of F&W

    Ditto. Some things running out and very crowded. That being said, we'll be there. Running the Wine and Dine and staying through Veterans Day. Mostly drinks that were out (think craft beers and certain wines) the popular "main" food items were still in stock. Wine and Dine t-shirts and stuff...

    September 12, 2015 - Fantasy eastern cruise

    I just booked our cruise for my family of four and my in-laws. This might be their only cruise and we're very excited. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise (1st on the Fantasy). :-)

    Under 12 still do the 5K?

    We did it with our 8 year olds a couple of years ago. They couldn't register or get a bib, but they were given a "medal" at the end. Things may have changed but they weren't being stingy with the plastic medals at the end of the race. Somehow we even ended up with an extra one.

    What's Going on With the 11 Night Norway Prices?!

    I didn't even check the prices for that cruise. I checked the number of cruises and knowing how much they have been promoting them and knew that I couldn't afford it. Congrats to those of you who got the opening day prices. Have a great time. Maybe next year they will add more sail dates.

    Official 2015 Disney Marathon Thread

    We like to stay at BLT so we can use the monorail instead of the buses to EPCOT. I believe all DVC have a hot tub. The one at BLT isn't the best, but it's not bad. Also you can see the fireworks from the roof-top lounge (or your room). The food options at the Contemporary are Ok, with a food...

    Only 3!!!

    For girls those ages I second the recommendation of character meals. MK: I'd leave and do Chef Mickey before going back for the evening fireworks. It's one of my kids' favorites. EPCOT: If they like princesses at all the Askerhous princesses. We go at dinner but I hear breakfast is good...

    Biergarten Seated on time?

    Hi, We stopped booking the Biergarten in EPCOT after two very long waits to be seated. I think we may have been late one of those times so I chalked that up to our fault, but we were early the next time and still had to wait an hour. We're traveling with my in-laws in Jan and they requested...

    What's in your park bag for summer (with kids)?

    I didn't read any of the other replies so I'm sure I'm duplicating some others but we've been the past two Augusts with no stroller. 1) Freeze a water bottle the night before. Carry it in a spot on the backpack where it cools the part of the pack that will touch the carrier's back. Later in...

    Are there any quiet places not just for adults for ship?

    My son is on the spectrum too. We cruised 2 years ago when he was 8. I was really worried he wouldn't like it. He loved it and is one of the main reasons we're going again this year. Outside Deck 4 was a nice place to take a break and transition between things. Inside on deck 4 we found the...

    Anyone use DCL transfers from WDW resort

    I don't remember what time it was when we got to the port, but it was after 2:00 when we boarded. We were staying at Boardwalk. There was a lot of time waiting around. We won't do that again. Logged that one under "live and learn".

    Park days before or after 4 day cruise?

    It depends on what you want to do. We were at the Wine and Dine half last year and since it's the last weekend of the F&W festival Epcot was packed both weekend days. Sat afternoon was crazy. We had an ADR for an early dinner at 3:30 and just needed to walk through from the International...
