    MDE emailings to friends and family list?

    In the past I have taken certain friends and family with me to Disney. However, I recently had an opportunity to set up a last minute trip (one week away) with just me and DS 15. I have not told ANYONE about this trip, including DS. It is supposed to be a mega surprise where I just toss him in...

    FP+ ... Will not book our Feb 2015 trip

    I love Disney, so it would be ridiculous to say I will never vacation at WDW again. However I can say with conviction that I will not visit again until I start hearing primarily positive reviews of FP+, both here and from other sources. I have to save up for these trips and the risk for a bad...

    magic kinhdom at phase three again today

    We were at MK Fri 03/22/2013, the estimated arrival day for the heaviest of the Spring Breakers. We had an early pre-open breakfast ressie at Crystal Palace, and were inside the park for rope drop. That seemed to give us an edge on getting pretty smoothly to all the E-ticket rides before about...

    Disney gift card and onboard credit ??

    One of the ways I have been saving up for my trip is by buying a Disney gift card each payday, and also asking relatives for them as gifts. Now I am just a few weeks out from my land/sea at WDW & Dream vacation and I am wondering how to best use all these $25 & $50 cards I have ($1500.00 in...

    Three day discover tix FL residents

    I apologize if this seems obvious but I just want to make sure before I buy. We will have two vacation days left after our 4 day Dream cruise and we want to visit three parks during the two days. With the three day FL resident tickets "one park per day", does that mean we can go between two...

    No-no's for migraine sufferers?

    My migraines are triggered by flashing lights as well, and while not as bad as Buzz Lightyear, the TSM in Hollywood Studios got me. I am pretty sure the fact that I had been operating on minimal sleep contributed as well though. I didn't have my meds with me and by the time I got back to the...

    DisneyQuest insread of Waterparks

    DQ is more cool in concept than it is in actual experience. It used to be a "must do" for my family when it was newer, but the place is getting really run down. Unfortunately, the arcade games are dated and often out of service. The unique Disney-fied games (interactive motion-based type) have...

    Rides you would like to see at Disneyworld

    There is an amazing ride at Busch Gardens in Wiliamsburg VA called Dark Kastle, which transports riders into the story by delighting every sense with elaborate theming and illusion. A Princess and the Frog adaptation would be out of this world.

    Tell me it will be ok...we're going to be "one of them"

    Having a scooter is going to make a real positive difference in your trip if someone in your party has a need for it. It is possible that you might encounter some idiot who makes a mean comment or acts out; however, you run that risk even if you don't have a scooter. Prepare your group in...

    Boatwrights at POR

    I had dinner there this past February and the food was good. Unfortunately, my ADR somehow got messed up, and even though I had a confirmation number, my family ended up waiting standby for over an hour. All was not lost however, because the lounge is really close by and we stepped in to hear...

    Magnolia Bend v Alligator Bayou

    As far as the basics, the rooms are exactly the same. The main difference is in the theming. I would book either AB or Magnolia bend without hesitation. I was there this past February, and my DS was all into Princess and the Frog, so we were open to making the theming at either section work for...

    Why do so many not like the Caribbean Beach resort ?

    I usually stay at one of the Port Orleans resorts, but decided to try something different this resort. I booked a preferred room as well, due to all the negative comments about getting stuck unreasonably far from the main pool and food court. Other than the big size, is this resort really so bad...

    Rides you wish existed/would be brought back

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg has an amazing ride called Darkcastle that could be perfectly adapted to a Beauty and the Beast 4d ride...and France in Epcot would be a cool location too.

    Nice resort-area beach on the Gulf?

    Panama City Beach has the best of the Gulf Coast Beaches going for it IMHO. The sugar white sand and emerald green water are even prettier than you see in the travel brochures (Google up some pics). In addition, it was lucky enough to be spared the nastiness of the oil spill and has a well...

    Is DHS a "half-day" park? And why?

    I did a 7 day land-sea package a few years ago, with only 3 park days. We split one day 1/2 AK and 1/2 MGM (what used to Dhs). I thought we saw plenty and did not feel deprived on the MGM part. Later on a longer trip I spent a whole and got to appreciate more of the non-headliner attractions. It...

    Coral Sea or Teppan Edo?

    I am an adventurous eater, dh and ds12 are picky meat and potato types, and bff is healthy. I am hoping we can find something at least tolerable for each :rotfl: at both venues...so please advise on the entertainment factor, novelty, and service to help me decide. Note that I have been to Coral...

    It Really is MY Castle!!

    I think that is the most awesome proposal EVER! The big smile on your face says it all. Thank you for sharing the photos. As for the skeptics, I understand your doubts because I would have been with you except for a magical Disney night that happened to me and DH. To briefly summarize...

    How to enjoy TL in February?

    Let's assume that you have a family that is bound and determined to go to Typhoon Lagoon in mid February whatever the weather. Does anyone have strategies to keep comfortable outside of wearing a wetsuit? If you have done a waterpark in 60-70 degree weather, let me hear your experiences.
