    Are we the only ones that don't make rope drop?

    DD (22) and I were there for 5 days last week. I got up early every day (by 7:00), showered and got ready and then I woke her up. She works the 4-midnight shift at home, so is a night owl, and I teach HS so I am up by 5:30 every day. Sleeping until 7:00 was a luxury!:rotfl: She is also a...

    POP Century ~ Unofficially the Grooviest FAQ Thread #5 ~ Sept 2011

    We checked in last weekend. Had an early flight and got to the hotel around 11:30 AM. Had originally requested the 60's building but facing the lake when did our original reservation by phone. I reiterated that with the online checkin a week before arrival. When we got there, our packet was...

    convertible from Thrifty at MCO

    I rented from Thrifty last week and saw a few convertibles in the garage. I rented a compact but got lucky when they didn't have any available and got upgraded to a Jeep Compass!

    Ohana Menu change?

    DD and I were there a few days ago for our first time and it was our favorite meal of the trip. I wish I had realized how much food was coming, or I would have passed on the giant, delicious, but very filling piña colada I had at the bar!:rotfl: we were so full, we passed on the dessert as I...

    Mosquitos in Jan/ Feb

    We just got home on Wednesday from 5 days and the only bug I saw was a real spider on the hotel door of the Tower of Terror going into the pre-show room. At first I thought it was a prop, but then he moved!:rotfl:

    Ohana Reservations

    DD (22) and I just got back last night from our Disney vacation and we both agreed that Ohana was our favorite meal that we had all week! We went for a very late dinner (9:30 ressie) but got there about an hour early and had a drink at the bar. It was a great atmosphere and a great dinner! We...

    So bummed! I just missed Obama! Who was there?

    We actually flew home last night from our Disney vacation and while I am glad that we missed the "hoopla" of the Presidential visit, it sounds like it would have been kind of fun to get to enter the MK via the cast members backstage areas to see what that is like.

    Splash Mountain....How wet do you get?

    Three years ago in January we rode it early in the day. No ponchos - I got soaked and it was so bad, I had to go back to the hotel to change. We are riding it tomorrow :banana: and I don't care what kind of looks I get - I am wearing an ugly yellow poncho from the dollar store and throwing it...

    not sure if we are using magic express or rent car

    We are leaving on Saturday :banana: and decided to get a rental. Got a great deal with Thrifty. I called ME yesterday to cancel and the agent seemed very appreciative that I did. She also reminded me NOT to put the yellow tags on the suitcases - LOL! Just decided I liked the option of...

    It's cold

    We leave in 10 days. Have started looking at the extended forecast, but that can change quickly. Right now, I am planning a couple of pairs of jeans, and then mostly capris and I may throw in a pair or two of shorts. Will bring a few long-sleeve tees, but mostly short-sleeve tops with...

    Question for ziploc packers

    Although I don't usually pack in ziplocks (DD is now 22 and we are going down next weekend), I usually do pack my clothes in plastic bags from the dry cleaners to prevent things from getting wet. Last August, I went on a trip to Orlando for a week-long pageant (I am the Executive Director) and...

    Parking at the parks

    It has been a long time since we had a rental car while staying on-site. If we decide to forgo the Disney busses and drive to the different parks, is there a hang tag or some sort of placard that identifies you as a resort guest so you don't have to pay parking charges? Also, are there sections...

    Canceling ME

    I think I have decided to go with a rental car instead of using ME. It is on our reservation and I have the vouchers already. Should I call ME to cancel?
