    Capture Your Moment - Ask Questions and Share Experiences Here

    We booked the CYM MK for our 3 year old grandson last June (2022) and were incredibly pleased. The downside is that it was raining that afternoon (I think our booking was around 3:30PM) and that eliminated a lot of the regular choices for shots the photographer normally uses. We started right...

    Disney Dining Plan

    I'm hoping that it'll be back sooner rather than later as we return to a more "normal" normal--surely it will be since they're gearing up for the 50th Anniversary?!

    Best Disney Course(s) for Female Golfers

    We played the Palm several years ago and while it does have a lot of water, IIRC, it was still a fun course to play. I am waaaaaay down low on the amateur scale when it comes to golf, too, and really enjoyed it quite a bit. Staff was lovely, course is beautiful and we had the added benefit of...

    Need a recommendation for a phone app that gives cash back for receipts

    I use ReceiptHog and I've had a good experience with them so far. The only thing with them is not all receipts earn "coins", some will only earn you an "entry" into their monthly drawings and some receipts will earn you "spins" on the slot machine. Sometimes they're a little troublesome with...

    Shopkick ideas and suggestions

    Go to "KICKS ONLINE" in the Shopkick app and you should see one for WalMart 3/$1 (DO NOT USE THIS ONE) and then another for WalMart Grocery. You have to use the one for WalMart Grocery app (as well as having that app on your phone) and NOT the regular WalMart app. I do all of my shopping...

    Shopkick ideas and suggestions

    I've been using WalMart Grocery Pickup nearly every week for 450 kicks with the occasional 1000 kicks reward. The only downside is they pend for 90 days, but otherwise a pretty easy way to make some quick kicks.

    BOG pre ordering lunch

    We used mobile/pre-order on MDE for BOG and I had to go outside of the app via a link and use the actual Disney website to pre-order. Not sure if this is always the case, though once I got to the correct link, it looked like the regular mobile ordering design we used at every other counter...

    All Star Movies Renovations

    Both! :upsidedow I put Fantasia as my top preference when I did online check-in and called about a week out from our arrival date and asked for a refurbed room (hoping to get both, which was impossible in retrospect). My little ones are grown now but IMO and experience, if you're concerned...

    All Star Movies Renovations

    Just back from ASMo where we booked a preferred room and were assigned a room in the Fantasia section (5839). Our room was not refurbed but they were working across from us on the Fantasia 2000 rooms facing the pool. Construction noise was minimal (I only heard the occasional "bang" when we...

    Just back from 6/9-6/16 trip - strategies that we learned from

    We were there over the same week as OP and never had an issue with mobile ordering. We used it at each park with great success. So don't be afraid to attempt it!

    Renting a minivan?

    If your itinerary says "Unlimited Mileage" you're fine. Sometimes locations offer limited mileage, but it's the exception and not the rule these days. And your itinerary would have something like "including 300 miles, each additional mile 39¢."

    Hertz at MCO

    Your spouse or domestic partner is free, or any other additional driver who is also a member of AAA. Caveat being as long as any/all of those are over the age of 25. ;)

    April 2018 Car Rental Watch

    If you book a prepaid reservation with Hertz through a third party vendor (Priceline, Hotwire etc) you can't add your gold number nor will you be eligible for your gold service. Agents can't make any changes to these types of prepaid reservations (with very few exceptions). The third party...

    Typhoon Lagoon Umbrella and lounger rentals

    We paid $63.90 for our upcoming June trip, so it looks like prices have remained the same since last year. We rented one a few years back and loved it. Definitely didn't feel crowded, felt somewhat secluded and off the beaten path. Totally worth the money.

    Ever have problems with a DVC Rental (from trusted site)

    We had an "issue" with a known DVC broker. We'd booked AKL Kidani and I was having the worst time getting a confirmation of our reservation (IIRC, it was nearly 7 years ago and I was trying to add dining and didn't have a confirmation number). I called and asked why I wasn't receiving any type...

    Cost to buy insurance through rental companies?

    Often, you have limited liability coverage at no additional cost as a secondary coverage, with limits varying from state to state. However, this would only cover bodily injury/death and damage to property.

    Cost to buy insurance through rental companies?

    It generally varies on car size and the company you're using. The one you're probably referring to is more than likely the "Loss Damage Waiver" which generally absolves you of any loss or damage up to the full value of the car (as long as your obeying the general rules/laws of the road)...

    WHich car rental companies offer 2nd driver free?

    Hertz allows spouses/domestic partners as an additional authorized operator at no additional cost with a Gold membership (membership is free, takes a few minutes to sign up online). They also offer free additional authorized operators if both (or additional) drivers are all AAA members. Just...
