    Everything PhotoPass & Memory Maker

    I know that ride photos are included with Genie+, but are they still included with the memory maker? Trying to decide if it's worth it for our upcoming 8 day girls trip. Thanks!!

    All Star Music Renovations

    I've got my fingers crossed that the work moves along and more of the resort is refurbed by August. We're currently booked on a bounceback at POP (mostly because of the refurbed rooms) but much prefer the buses and set up at the All Stars. I know Movies isn't on the bounceback offer, but we...

    Renting a car for part of the trip

    We did this during our stay last summer. I had originally booked (1 day rental) at the Car Care Center, but then saw that the Swan/Dolphin Alamo was the same price. It actually worked out better, because we just went from our morning at Hollywood Studios to the Dolphin and picked up the car. We...

    New Themed Magic Bands

    Do you know the email for the Guest Communications? I looked on the site and didn't see anything for Guest Communications. Would it be the same as Guest Services? I ended up being able to order 3 out of the 4 that I needed (DH doesn't care if he just has a plain one) but as I went in to place...

    Car Care Center users ?

    Hi! We usually rent a car from the airport but this year due to our trip plans, we are going with the Car Care Center. Currently we have a pickup truck rented (it was the cheapest) as well as a car. We ended up having to change our flight and now need to return the car earlier than expected...

    Magic Band Upgrade Question

    I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about this, but maybe someone else has experience they can share? I ordered 3 upgraded magic bands for me, my son and my daughter. My husband was happy with the plain one. I went to submit my order and only 2 of the 3 went through - mine and my...

    The Sheraton Vistana Resort Thread (key links on p.1)

    We have always stayed at Vacation Village at Parkway but thought we would try something different this year. 1 - how long did the check in process take? We have been lucky at VV with speedy check ins. I also know the timeshare spiel and avoid it (they try to get you to book when you get...

    MK on a MNSSHP day

    Ok thanks for the info! We will give it a go. We have 10 day passes, so I'm not too worried about missing out on anything - and if it's too busy, we'll just skip out and head somewhere else or back to the resort!

    MK on a MNSSHP day

    What are daytime crowds usually like on a MNSSHP night? We have park hoppers, and were thinking of maybe doing MK on Aug 16 (also a morning EMH day so we would be there for rope drop) for the morning/early afternoon then head over to another park for the evening. I have heard that generally...

    Favorite Non-Disney Restaurant? I need ideas for Breakfast, Dinner, Pizza....

    Bahama Breeze and Sweet Tomatoes are musts for my family. Kids LOVE the salad bar at Sweet Tomatoes and after overindulging on park food, it's always nice to have something a little lighter (and healthier!) My son also loves Chevy's. We did Cracker Barrel for the first time last year and the...

    August 2019 Car Rental Thread

    We're doing our vacation a little differently this year. Normally 2 weeks with a rental car - staying off site. This year we're doing onsite for a week and offsite for a week with a 2 day stay at WDW to end the trip, so only need a rental for a week. Normally pick up and drop off at MCO -...

    Meeting Merida

    Just got back yesterday, and we had Merida on our plans for Monday, August 27. We arrived just prior to her arrival (I think it was 9:15?) and waited for about 10 minutes (there were 2 families ahead of us) We wanted to make sure we got to see her before it got too busy and before it got too...

    Validating Canadian MYW tickets

    I remember using these last year and having to validate them with a passport prior to use, and they had to be vailidated at a park or at Disney Springs. I seem to remember my travel agent saying they were going to allow them to be validated at (some?) resorts. I know I can ask her, but the...

    What are you using for car rentals?

    When are you travelling? I'm just curious as I have booked my current rate for August 14-29 for a midsize (with the upgrade to standard) and Standard shows on my reservation (and every time I check rates it still shows as midsize with upgrade to standard. The next cheapest class is Full Size...

    Canadian Ticket MYW package ?

    We have the Canadian ticket MYW package for mid-August, and all of our information arrived a while back. I wasn't able to see a voucher for mini-golf as I have in past years, so just wondering if they are no longer doing that, if it's not available with the Canadian package or if it's just...

    Check-out day advice :)

    Good morning! We're checking out of AllStar Music on a Saturday. Our plan is to hit Hollywood Studios that day. Being on-site, we're going to take advantage of the morning Extra Magic Hours (I don't want to think about how early we're going to be getting up on our vacation o_O) We...

    Is MK a good idea on MNSSHP day?

    Traditionally, we have done MK on our last day at Disney. This year, that day is August 28th, and I see that the Halloween party is scheduled for that day. I know the park closes at 6, but what are crowds like beforehand? We normally stay at the park until mid afternoon, leave and come back...

    How do Budget and Hertz rate when compared to Alamo?

    We just avoid toll roads. It does add a bit of time getting to and from the airport, but it's not a huge amount of time and the drive is actually not that bad!

    AUGUST 2017 Car rental watch

    I currently have a reservation with Alamo for August 12-30 (premium) for $712. I was able to snag a deal the other night with Budget for a full size at $348 (when I checked the next morning, rates had shot back up to 800+) Booked through the Costco website for Budget, and through the Alamo...
