We will be visiting DLR and DCA for 3 days at the end of August. I'm trying to decide if the Photopass is worth it. We have been to WDW many times and taken full advantage of the Photopass each time at those parks. Are the photographers at DLR and DCA as plentiful as they are at WDW? Not...

Trying to decide between these 2 hotels for our August - 3 night stay. What are your thoughts? We love the free breakfast offered at both hotels. I also realize that the SpringHill Suites charges for parking while the Residence Inn does not... Am trying to figure out which would be closest...

We did the dolphin swim on Wednesday. Like a PP poster suggested, get there early. We arrived at 7:30 (when they start admitting people) and got an 8:40 swim time. It was just the right amount of time - we had breakfast, got our gear, lotioned up and were ready to go at 8:30. Because we...

Hoping for some great ideas... We just got word today that my DD8's BFF will be moving at the end of the school year (late June). Needless to say, the tears started almost the instant I told her. :sad: I'm trying to come up with ways that we can "celebrate" their friendship and help reassure...

For those interested, we just got back from our trip and made use of the cooking station at the BC Marketplace every morning. They have "butter substitute" - not actual butter, but close enough for me! I had brought some slices of bread along with cinnamon for my DD7 and was able to give her...

Just had this done with my DD7 at MK on Tuesday. There is one located in that little "alley" off of main street about half way down on the right (if you are facing the castle). There is also a booth set up in Liberty Square as well as on in France in EPCOT. It costs $8.00, you can NOT charge...

FWIW, I just took my book to Staples yesterday to have it coil bound and the covers laminated. It cost a little less than $9.00! It looks GREAT, but it has some "heft" to it. I will have to upgrade to the backpack rather than the smaller crossbody bag if I want to take it in the parks...

Pixarmom...and anyone else who might know... did you happen to notice if there are packets of butter at the cooking station? DH likes a buttered english muffin for breakfast... Thanks!

I'm joining the "I need a bag for our trip" group as well. In the past I have used some travel backpack-y thing from my Mom paired with a fanny pack for the "quick access" items (tickets, etc...) I'm hoping that I won't need as much this year. I found the Sherpani Milli at TJMaxx the other...

My DD7 and I are headed down to the west coast of FL for a few weeks to visit my parents. We are flying in to Tampa, arriving at 11 am. My DD's only request for the whole trip is to visit Winter at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. My thought was to head over to Clearwater that day since we're...

We'll be staying at the BC in early May and were wondering if there is a toaster to use if we bring/buy some bagels or bread for breakfasts? From the looks of the "cooking station" photo, I'd say "yes", but I never like to assume anything...(you know what they say!...) Thanks!

The one near us opens at midnight. Everything is 30% off until 6am, and then it changes to 25% off until the store closes. We are taking in our receipt from a bike we bought for DD (7) this week to get an extra % off...wahoo! :cool1: Good luck!

I hadn't thought of switching hotels mid-trip, but that is certainly something to consider...I don't expect we will need more than one day at Universal - most of the rides look a tad intimidating for my daughter. Staying onsite for 1 day will assure us the FOTL convenience and then we can make...

I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Orlando that would include Sea World, Discovery Cove (DD, 7, wants to be a dophin trainer when she grows up:)) and Universal. Where would you stay? The "partner" hotels with each park offer a "quick queue"/front of the line type of pass for...

My account is not linked to Facebook...I do remember having to login to my FB account to register? -- I only have a FB account to follow a friend in Afghanistan (literally, I have ONE friend!!) -- once I got a pinterest account, I am able to login and remove all evidence of my FB account...

We have done Chef Mickey's with our daughter (6) both times she has gone. It is actually pretty good food for a large buffet style meal. The character interaction is....ok. You get some good face time, but b/c the place is so large the characters need to keep it moving. I would say the same...

Last time we were there, Princess Aurora was wandering around France - no lines, no waiting. We were on the hunt for Marie (from the Aristocats) and bumped in to Aurora after our Marie visit. You can always ask the front desk of your hotel (if you're staying on property) ...they were able to...

We welcomed a small, black Havanese puppy to our home in November. I can't begin to tell you how well he has fit into our family. If you do some research on the breed - you'll discover that they are a great family dog, super smart, easy to train, hypoallergenic (no shedding! Yahoo!), and...

We just returned from our magical vacation...good times, good food, good hotel! *sigh!* We stayed in Fiji (I had requested Tokelau)- last room on the ground floor - the back of the volcano pool across the marina/dock was the view from our window. Not the most convenient location for getting...

I just looked at the chart ginnymack posted from the Unofficial Guide on getting to DTD from the Poly. Is it really that long? We are arriving next Thursday around noon (*gulp!* better start packing!) and thinking of heading to DTD for the afternoon before our dinner at Chef Mickey's at 6:30...
