    Why did I bother to call WDW Dining for a reservation?

    I just today called to see if I could make a reservation for the Epcot IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party since we will be limited in time our day at EPCOT and didn't want to worry about staking out a spot for illumiNations. I called and got to speak to a cast member very quickly which I was...

    What would you pack in a travel survival kit?

    This list is great so far! A lot of this stuff I wouldn't have thought about, the power strip idea is great, can't believe I never thought of that when so many times I spent looking for another outlet.

    What would you pack in a travel survival kit?

    Thinking of giving a travel survival kit for relatives who are flying down to Orlando for a trip to Disney. Trying to think of items that aren't the "normal" travel kit items to get them through the flight and their time in the parks. All I can think of are the normal items like purell, tide...

    Please stop calling a trip to Disney a "staycation"

    I misuse it all the time too I guess. Living in jersey if I don't leave the state I refer to in state getaways as a staycation, even a weekend down the shore. All depends on the person using the term I guess.

    $400 per person, how would you spend it?

    Now that the average 7-day park hopper, depending on options is around $400 it's caused me to reevaluate the value of the ticket. I can find 7-night cruises, last minute deals albeit, to the Bahamas for under 400 and that's your transportation and meals included. It's also the cost of one of my...

    WOW did cnn just slam WDW for ticket price increace

    You sometimes have to think about the average family or person going to WDW. For me as a college student who works full time I can't go on a vacation to Disney. It comes down to the hopper alone for one week is the cost of one class for a whole semester, at my community college. As much as I...

    Starbucks in the parks!!! ...soon

    I was just excited there would be another alternative to the Nescafé. I didn't realize it would cause a debate on Starbucks vs Dunkin vs McD's. I think everyone can agree the coffee you buy really has NOTHING to do with status.

    Starbucks in the parks!!! ...soon

    The article and the disney blog both say only one location in each park. I'm sure the Nescrapé will still be there, but at least there will be a coffee option most are familiar with from their hometowns, and not the coffee colored water they've been calling coffee.

    Verizon has their own "E-ticket" like app. Not as good as the Dis'

    this website has all the "gossip" about phones that run android, and the new Motorola Droid coming out. I personally am addicted to my blackberry because i like being able to press the keys instead of touchscreen; that being said I would have no problem stealing and using my sister's iPhone as...

    Verizon has their own "E-ticket" like app. Not as good as the Dis'

    Found this online. This app isn't for iPhones, and is only for Verizon customers. I thought it was interesting because I wanted something like Project X for my blackberry, but I don't have Verizon so I'll have to be patient; or shell out and buy an iPhone. I am planning on buying E ticket for my...

    For other BlackBerry users

    I know most of the people on the boards use iPhones, but this BlackBerry app i just downloaded seems pretty cool. You can use the service on mobile web, or from a desktop computer too, so I'm sure iPhones can access it as well...

    Best Tasting Bottled Water in Orlando?

    Yeah they're all the same. Aquafina is just filtered tap water. Dasani is filtered tap water, but they soften it, and add minerals to enhance the taste. I'd go with the cheapest. Many of the store brands are the same exact water as the brand names, they just don't spend money on advertising.

    What Kind of Coat to Pack for November?

    I personally don't go anywhere without a zip-up hooded sweatshirt. Even if it's a lightweight zip-up it always comes in handy when the AC is too strong or, its chilly at night for fireworks.
