We went to Pizza Planet in 2011. Frozen pizza and subs taste better and are cheaper from our local grocery store. None of us were happy that they served this c...p at WDW. :sad2: By 2010 and 2011 we had really noticed the increase in food prices with a corresponding decline in food quality...

Our kids were 7 and 4 on their first trip. We did not tell them where we were going just that we were going on a vacation. They made all sorts of guesses about were we were going but we did not tell them. They only knew we were going to WDW when we pulled off I4 into WDW and they saw the...

I have a holster bag for my DLSR. The bag is just large enough to hold the camera with a 50mm prime lens and I can just squeeze in a 24mm. I carry a couple of zip lock bags in case of rain or wet rides. For photos on a ride the 24mm lens is perfect on a full frame sensor camera. The viewing...

The DIS has a much better list of park hours than WDW web page. Sad that Disney can't do this right... http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/hours/april15.cfm Pretty sure our other Spring Break trips had plenty of 0700 RDs but there are none listed. I sure hope there are some because EMH RD...

We try to surprise the kids as much as possible. Its kinda getting hard to do now that they are older. Their first trip to WDW was a surprise and it took two days to drive to WDW which made it really hard to keep secret. They asked lots of questions but we always managed to be vague...

We loved 0700 EMH Rope Drops. Well, we did not like getting up that early but once in the park, it was great. :lmao: We rode Test Track five times in a row one morning and few times they let us stay in the car since there was NO ONE in line. One of the kids and I rode RRRC three times and...

Yes, the new seats are much better and safer... But.... :) Our oldest used to love Space Mountain and other roller coasters but as oldest got older, somehow, riding these rides has gotten scarier. Not sure why. The last time the oldest was on Space Mountain we were on the first car with...

We surprise the kids as much as we can... If you are driving to/from WDW, I would not say a word to them when you leave WDW and head to the port. When driving over the bridge and you can see the ship, I would make comments like, "LOOK! There is a Disney ship. I sure would like to go on a...

I don't drink soda except when we are at a Disney resort but when we go to Disney, I get a mug and have an orgy of soda drinking. :confused3 I will fill up the mug, drink quite a bit and then refill. The three minute time limit is going to be a PITA. I understand WHY Disney has the time...

The original Space Mountain seats were kinda odd. There was one "seat" for two people. One person got in and the second would sit between the legs of the first. A seat belt went around both of them. We were so excited when Space Mountain opened since it was the best ride at MK. I can...

I look back at some of the things I did as a teenager and I wonder how I lived. The scary thing is that I was a GOOD kid but I did some really stupid things as well. Some of those things would not likely happen today because society has changed and that is a good thing. My kids are...

Our rules are not because we do not trust our kids but because we do not trust others. Our kids can be little saints but that does not protect them from other people looking to do harm. Our oldest does not like the tight leash at AKV/AKL but the leash is not because we do not trust our...

The Dinosaurs were Gators. :rotfl2: My family used to live in Orlando and my first trip to WDW was in 71 or 72 and we went at least once or twice a year until my mid teens. I was so lucky to grow up going to WDW, which back then, was just MK. We would show up at RD and leave just after the...

Nikon has US warranties for equipment bought in the US. You can buy gray market Nikon equipment in the US but without the US warranty. Look at /http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ to compare prices between Gray Market, ie, products without US warranties, and products with the warranty. Gray Market...

DW and I just could not have a Disney vacation and leave the kids home. Some people can do this but we just cannot. Last summer we went to VBR, which was excellent, and I am NOT a beach person. :thumbsup2 The kids went to the grandparents a day before we left to go home so that was our Kid...

We rarely use more than 3 sets of FPs at a park but we arrive at RD and are usually leaving around lunch time. However, the tiered approach is problematic. IF the tier approach stays for ALL FPs then this will be a step backwards for us. IF we can still get FPs, in the park on the day or...

Agreed. The idea of having to sit with strangers to eat has been a big negative about going on a cruise. If we ever manage to find the time/money to got on DCL we will try for Concierge so we can get our own table. I don't want to have to chit chat with strangers while eating and the point of...

I forgot to mention in my previous post that Dreams Unlimited knows WDW as well as DCL. They can give you advice on the cost of both vacation options. Later, Dan

We do not use travel agents to travel and we have yet to go on a cruise. Having said that, I do think one day, hopefully soon, we will book a Disney cruise, and I am pretty certain, we will use Dreams Unlimited. Why? They support this website. I like how they do business. They, like other...

We have not been on a cruise but we would like to go on a DCL trip. The only cruise lines I want to be on are DCL and Cunnard and I would prefer a longer cruise like crossing the Atlantic. I have looked at the ships designs a bit and I am still concerned about the ships ability to evacuate...
