    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    Hey all - I'm thinking about getting the Florida Flex ticket. I have bank statements and recent mail from USCIS with Florida address as I'm an immigrant who moved to the US last year. I have that part - I have an Employment Authorization card which has all details and photo but not address as...

    Best Budget Hotel Offsite Options?

    So I have family coming from the UK to see us in April, but money is a little bit tight - like we really need somewhere sub $100 a night. I know Rosen Inn International has been okay in the past but does anyone here have any other budget options I could consider? Really I want to avoid any...

    Hurricane Dorian / WDW Theme Parks Discussion

    Went to Hollywood studios tonight on a chance, we had a fastpass showing of Indiana Jones cancelled partway thru earlier today (bummer because we were picked to be extras) and got the fastpass back for use on anything. Was able to use it for Fantasmic! 8:30 showing, half expected a paired down...

    Hurricane Dorian / WDW Theme Parks Discussion

    We're here on our Honeymoon but staying off-site now to ride out Dorian. We were considering going back to Hollywood Studios tonight for Fantasmic but wondering if it will go ahead? I am glad we have Typhoon Lagoon open so we can use our water park options though.

    Seriously Big Park Hours Update 8/29-11/2 - Daily AM EMHs added for DHS, DAK, & MK

    We've booked Kidani for 30th August to 2nd September for our Honeymoon and I'm absolutely delighted! I'm glad the across (almost- poor Epcot) the board EMH starts soon as Galaxy's Edge opens. I'm not super keen on it, but it also seems a crime not to take rare advantage of such an early Park...

    Is Disney Springs a waste of time ?

    First off, comparing Disneyland and Disney World's general areas is like comparing Apples to Oranges; With Disneyland being first - Disney only had the land Disneyland sat on at first, their Downtown came ages after. It's mostly luck and deep wallets that allowed that to happen - as for...

    Birthday Freebies

    Ah not meaning to lecture, just being up front. What worked was just going with the flow - that trip was very special for me anyway. I met future Hubby face to face for first time (we met online) at WDW so I was in a pretty twitterpated state that trip lol. But we got a lot of nice little...

    Something nice for Ohana CMs?

    Disney are very hot on what CM's can accept. But the one that's the massive biggie for a CM (and causes 0 issues) is getting a complement in Guest Services - this is also true in general retail. Personal gifts are nice, but making sure Management know the CM went above and beyond is always a...

    Birthday Freebies

    From what I've gathered, when Disney asks what you are celebrating, it goes on the special notes for your booking. So when the resort CM checking you in pulls it up they see "Celebrating Birthday/Honeymoon/Anniversary/ect" - but it's the CM's choice to grant any magical moments beyond...

    MK on a Non-Party Day?

    Ooh this is good to know for us too, planning on doing Not So Scary but planned to spend the whole party day in MK - lack of HEA is a shame but if it gives us a chill time at MK then I'll gladly take the sacrifice. I'm sure it'll be around for a while!

    Honeymoons and Characters + Q about Trader Sams

    How are Characters with Honeymooners? I know they tend to be fine normally with older fans. But I've maybe accidentally booked mostly character meals for our Honeymoon (future DH is fine with this bless his cotton socks - I did consider California Grill but just couldn't justify it over...

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    Not done the fax as we had to amend our booking by phone, but fiancee was given the specific room I wanted for Kidani and we got it! Apparently the CM was bemused by how specific we were with the room number but I really wanted that specific view lol. I was wondering about what sort of...

    Thinking of going alone for 40th birthday....

    I didn't do Disney solo for my birthday, but I have been to Paris and Florida. While there's always a certain comfort in touring the parks with people you know - going with fewer people/yourself does have it's benefits. The Florida birthday trip was just me and my partner, and really it was a...

    Restaurants for first time visitor

    I did Be Our Guest last year and it was wonderful! But I really love Beauty and the Beast so milage may vary - they really go extra mile to make the dinner feel special. Me and my partner ended up ordering the meat and cheese platter + french onion soup because we were on a budget, was plenty...

    BA or Virgin?

    We're going Virgin this time around in Dec but in all my previous years experience Virgin have *always* been much closer to matching Disney when it comes to customer service (we've flown with them in 1998, 1999 and some of the 2000 trips) - their attendants are usually pretty cheery and the...

    Cheap Breakfast Options at Disney Springs?

    Hey everyone! It's been a while since I posted but about to make a return to WDW after almost a 5 year hiatus between trips (bar for a 2 day visit with my partner last year) At the beginning of our trips we used to go to the Downtown West Side McDonald's but that tradition is now...

I've been to Seaworld myself and won't deny that I have enjoyed my visits, though I already knew years before "Blackfish" that the ways Orca's had gotten to the...

    New flavors at Club Cool!

    I just noticed Wikipedia says the flavours changed in October! Is Melon Frosty a worthy successor of Smart Watermelon? Clearly this is another reason to put on the list as to why I need another visit to WDW soon!
