    Buying a MagicBand

    We are a family of four; and three of us purchased Magic Bands while we were there last week! Two of them synced just fine on the app; and one of them did not and we had to go to the concierge at our hotel (Contemporary) and she fixed it quickly. Check the shop at your hotel; the BVG shop had...

    S.O.S. We planned a trip 6 days before arrival! We're crazy and need your help! T minus 3 days!!!!!

    We were in the parks last week; and last Thursday, we called (texted? summoned? requested?) an Uber at about 6:15 am (at the Contemporary) and were in the car by 6:30. We were waiting in line at AK by 6:50. When the gates opened at 7am, we walked with the herd of people to the Pandora area but...

    Best Way From DL For An Early LAX Flight

    Try SuperShuttle. My older son had an early flight on New Year's Day (7am) 2 years ago and SuperShuttle picked him up at 4am at GCA. I booked online and it was $17. He said there were only 5 people in the van and he was at LAX in less than 45 minutes.

    Fingerprint or scan of 3-9 year olds at WDW

    From what I understand, there are some less-than-kosher tour companies that will buy multi-day passes; and give them to Family A to use for three day, collect them back, then give them to Family B to use for the remaining days. Connecting a ticket to an individual with a photograph or finger...

    Uber or Shuttle Service???

    On New Year's Day my son took SS from the GCA to LAX. We paid $17 and he gave the driver a $2 tip, even when the driver dropped him off at terminal 2 when he needed terminal 1! The driver was on time and lucky for him, he was the last one to be picked up before the van left Anaheim. Only took...

    How do you spend Disney Visa Redemption Dollars?

    I pay off the room and tax when I arrive. For our trip in 2011, I still had a few hundred dollars left and used the remainder on our DCL cruise. For our trip in 2014, it paid for all but about $300. This is after saving points for three years each time.

    Fastpass Plus Sucks!

    Tried for other times and nothing was better. 60 days out. The times didn't get any better. Just ridiculous that in the situation we couldn't get any other FPs for hours.

    Fastpass Plus Sucks!

    We traveled during the Christmas holidays; and for our MK day that's what I got 60 days out for HM, IASW and the 7D ride. 60 days out - 10:30 at night.

    Fastpass Plus Sucks!

    What I REALLY dislike is that you can't get a new FP until you use ALL THREE of the ones you have. If your FPs are at 3p, 5p, and 10:30p, you have to wait hours before you can get another one; and by then you may not need it. Ridiculous.

    Can you buy Memory Maker after your trip?

    Our trip was Dec 26 - Jan 3. I just got a reminder email today that our Photo Pass photos expire on Feb 9 and there are 52 of them. Is there a way to buy all of them? All of the communication I saw before and during our trip didn't to a great job of communicating exactly was Memory Maker...

    Cash Only dining locations?

    Three years ago there was a funnel cake stand in the America area of Epcot and also at Blizzard Beach that were cash only. I keep $10 inside my mobile phone case, so I was the best mom ever at BB when I pulled out the cash when our family of four just our cards with us.

    Fast Passes Cheating?

    At Universal Studios Florida, I've ridden the Men in Black ride four times in a row and walked past the same people every time with a Hard Rock Hotel room key that gives my family Universal Express. I felt guilty maybe once because anyone can stay on property and do the same thing.

    Club 33 "Regulars" - Question about my 1st trip

    As I understood the matter, removing the fireplace from the main dining area would open up a small amount of space there to possibly add more seats. And, the new lounge was going to have a small number (4 or less) of booth seating that would be used for dining. My 2 cents - The new lounge...

    From East Coast, Driving to Disneyland from Pasadena, PLEASE HELP!
