    Boma or Ragland Road

    Okay, having eaten at both places on our trip this past June, this is my recommendation: Both places are good, but they're very different. The most important consideration, I think, is how adventurous are your eaters? If you don't have adventurous eaters, then I think you should scrap Boma...

    A fun video from Whispering Canyon Cafe

    They seated us in the back room, too, so I was really disappointed at first. But "Anton" was awesome and made a point to come and pick on us frequently. We had a great time. I'm not so sure I'd recommend it for the food, but I'd definitely go again for the fun.

    A fun video from Whispering Canyon Cafe

    Thought I'd share a fun video from Whispering Canyon. DO NOT view this video if you've not been there and want to be completely surprised by the antics. Otherwise, enjoy! :) http://youtu.be/ul4TassK_HE

    A couple of fun videos from the them parks...

    I wasn't sure where to post these, but figured that the Theme Park Strategies might be the best place. The first is from Jedi Training. http://youtu.be/EXQ7EiPpQp4 The second is a video of my girls calling the red phone booths in Epcot. http://youtu.be/i0QHtm-c-WQ Enjoy!

    Just back from WDW and these are my best tips...

    Did you mean Crystal Palace versus 1900 PF? Or did you really mean Chef Mickey's? If you meant Chef Mickey's, it's a no brainer...definitely 1900 PF. If you meant Crystal Palace versus 1900 Park Fare, that's a tough one. The food options at Crystal Palace were the best offered on site, so...

    Just back from WDW and these are my best tips...

    No, we were willing to take the first available and were told that our party might even be split up. It was a luck of the draw that we got a near-window seat. We had 7:15 ADRs and were not seated until 8:15ish. Our dinner was being served at exactly 9:00 when Illuminations started...

    Just back from WDW and these are my best tips...

    I've done a fair amount of traveling and touring that included tons of walking. But there is NOTHING like the amount of walking you do at Disney. Even my MIL who is in awesome shape and spends hours on her feet golfing every week found a switch of shoes to be helpful. In my case, my awesome...

    Just back from WDW and these are my best tips...

    The characters at H&V or the characters overall? I was more than a little surprised that my two 15 year olds LOVED-LOVED-LOVED Hollywood and Vine more than any other character interaction. That shocked me because they don't really "know" the characters. DD's best friend had a bit of...

    Just back from WDW and these are my best tips...

    I rode pretty much everything, and the only "close call" was Kali River Rapids...and even that one wasn't a big deal. Every ride had more than ample seatbelt length for someone even larger than myself. I used the tip to pull the seatbelt out to it's fullest length, and then I had several...

    Just back from WDW and these are my best tips...

    Powder versus Body Glide There is NO substitute for good old fashioned cornstarch baby powder. Body Glide is awesome for places like feet, but if you occasionally use baby powder to prevent chafing, then you will DEFINITELY NOT want to leave it home. Bring both and decide which you prefer...

    RAIN! Give me your best tips!

    Okay, so looking at the forecast, it appears that we might get LOTS of rain about 2/3 of the time we're at WDW. I've been watching the weather reports, and some of it looks like it won't just be late afternoon showers. So, with that in mind, what are your BEST tips for getting through the...

    SANDALS for plantar fasciitis?

    I have the Crocbands and the new tennis shoe style. The truth is that the tennis shoe style doesn't feel nearly as well on my feet as the Crocbands do! i thought about Crocs sandals, but I couldn't find my size or they were the flip-flop style and I can't do things between my toes.

    SANDALS for plantar fasciitis?

    Okay, I realize there's a similar thread; but it really wasn't addressing my question. So here goes... BESIDES Crocs...what type of sandal have you felt did well with plantar fasciitis? I'm at almost a complete loss. I bought a pair of Teva sandals yesterday because they seemed to have...

    7 days on DxDP won't do it again

    Actually, for us, this is probably the main reason we're doing it. I really feel like we'll all need about an hour's worth of downtime in the middle of the day, and then there's no reason not to have a sit-down meal before the park opens and then after a long day at the parks before heading...

    The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

    Without actually seeing it, I can say with pretty strong conviction that yes - it was locked and that's why the CM wasn't concerned. While I don't remember the details of that particular ride, it seems like the bar is more intended to discourage you from standing up than it is to keep you...

    The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

    Sandy, I'm really confused by what you're saying, so I need you to answer just one question: Did the bar lock at all, or was the bar free to move up and down? My fairly limited experience is that the bars generally come down and "lock" where your body starts. If you're smaller, the bar...

    The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

    Did it not "lock" into position? Or did it lock into position at a higher spot? Many of these rides aren't necessarily intended for the bar to go all the way down; rather it's intended to stop where you begin. Is THAT what happened, or was it really just not locked? Is there any chance there...

    The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

    Has anyone else had this problem??? Is there any way there was something wrong with that particular bar??? How long ago did this happen? You've got me freaked out now!
