    Is it worth driving to FL from PA?

    We're doing the drive tomorrow from the Baltimore area- with 3 kids! We're not scared! LOL We've done the drive 2 other times: once with a 16 month old, and once with a 5 month old and 2 1/2 yr old. It wasn't that bad! The first drive we allowed for 3 days to get there but find we actually...

    Kid Disney Fun Book - Activities

    I love what I can see on here but when I follow the link it takes me to a page without anything :( I even joined the savefile site but still couldn't access the book. Does anyone know why? :confused:

    Tipping Advice from former waitgirl!

    Yeah I said I was sorry to them :blush: Hostesses are not managers (at least not at any of the places I worked at) so we had no real authority over servers. We were in charge of the front of the house but pretty much worked for the servers because they are the one's who tip us out at the end...

    How do you get ALL those Home Depot Mickey Heads?

    Why lime green? Is it because it's the most unpopular color of all mickey paints therefore HD has the most paint samples of this color available at any given time hence "less guilt" for the crime? :laughing:

    Let's talk Pirates and princess party!

    I'm glad there's so many thumbs up for this :thumbsup2 ! We have tickets for the end of this month! When I purchased them I noticed it said the price I would pay if I bought them at the park and it was higher.

    Tipping Advice from former waitgirl!

    I have been a hostess at 3 different restaurants and at all 3 places the servers who didn't want kids in their section were very vocal about it to us. And at times I'd be forced to seat a family in their section because we were slammed and the kid-hating server had the only open table and the...

    Tipping Advice from former waitgirl!

    I agree. It's been 10 years since I worked in restaurants and I can't understand why things have changed so much! It used to be that 15% was standard and when servers earned 20% they were very happy! Why is 15% now a bad tip and 20% is expected? It's not like the level of service has...

    Being asked if we were going to tip.....

    What ticks me off about this is that I had no idea it was going on! We haven't been to WDW in 7 years and have never used the dining plan. When I booked last month the lady talked me into upgrading our package to include the dining plan. She said it would make things easier and cheaper since...

    When to book ADRs

    When I called the lady was super nice and not at all rude about me calling so late in the game. She first asked me to give her a list of all the places we were hoping to eat at. Then she started with the hardest one to get into and went from there. It helped that I was flexible and didn't...

    When to book ADRs

    We're taking a last minute trip down and booked our ADR's less than a month from arrival. I got all the restaurants we wanted including Cinderellas Royal Table which the book I have said fills up immediately at the 180 day mark. ??? :confused: No idea why it was so easy this short of notice...

    Could I have possibly brought any more winter clothes to Florida? Jan26-Feb2 THE POLY

    You had me laughing there a few times! That Best in Show movie cracks me up and it's no joke- on occasion I'll find myself standing in one spot on the sidewalk in DC and I can see 2 or 3 Starbucks! It's crazy! Our Simpson's joke is the "it tastes like burning". We say it when we've just...

    September -- Halloween decorations yet?

    I understand you not wanting their first trip to be a Halloween themed one. My friend suggested we come down this past October but I wasn't too excited to. Now that we're planning a regular trip for the end of this month which includes P&PP tickets I'm totally game for a Halloween trip next...

    Magic is gone-disappointing 3rd DDP experience

    ITA with what you've said about expecting ALL to be good. Disney prides itself on the entire experience being "magical" :wizard: and "dreams coming true":cloud9: . It does not state that magic and dreams are only granted to those who can afford the higher end restaurants. Thank you for...

    information on tipping

    We are using this plan in a couple of week...what does the automatic tip charge mean? If we don't say anything the server will automatically charge our room an 18% tip?
