    Do you think the bakery at Animal Kindgdom Lodge would be able to do a Haunted Mansion theme with the standing screen print of the Hitchhiking Ghosts?

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    I'm wanting to order a Haunted Mansion theme custom cake. Which resorts or parks are linked to a bakery that will do this theme? Is it only available in restaurants serviced by Contemporary or Grand Floridian bakeries? I'm flexible on restaurant locations for the birthday meal but really need a...

    Ladies---Another Park Bag Question

    I've been bringing my Disney Vera Bradley Hipster the past 2 years and it's perfect for me (no kids). It's also my everyday purse, I prefer crossbody bags. Before that I used a Overland Donner bag that was recommended here on the Disboards and on one trip a string backpack from Disney (I knotted...

    Newlyweds need your help! :)

    Lol we're a childless (not by choice, fertility treatments for 10 years) married couple of 15+ years and people still think we are newlyweds sometimes. I'd recommend doing a lot of things that may be more difficult to do with younger kids. Stay out late and catch all the evening shows, parades &...

    Funny Shirt Available @ The Theme Parks

    I showed that to my mom and she said "buy enough for the whole family!" Lol. I didn't get one, though it was cute and accurate (haha!) and featured Chip 'n Dale - two of my faves! I have to face the fact that I have way, way too many Disney shirts...so this year I'm moving on to Disney purses lol!

    Don't Forget To Set the DVR!

    I always look forward to the parade, and I'm a huge Disney nut, but I didn't care for it this year. I felt like they barely showed any floats, it was just Frozen songs (which I love but it's getting to be too much) on repeat and Aulani. Just my opinion.

    park bag check

    Also remember both sides of the table are open, even if no one is standing in line on one side. I think a lot of ppl don't realize and just get in line behind everyone else instead of going to the other side that's sometimes empty. I take both bags (when we both have a bag) and have them open...

    Christmas Trip planning and Budget help!

    You can input your dates for next Christmas in on the Disney World site and get a quote. Booking is open now thru the end of 2015. If you can possibly not go the week of Christmas tho I'd recommend that. I know it's not possible for some with kids or jobs in the school system, but the 3 weeks...

    Bus vs drive

    We end up driving more and more each trip. Our last trip we actually only took the bus once - to Downtown Disney. Driving is much more efficient. And I agree with walking instead of riding the tram when possible!

    Critique My 1-Day M.K. Plan

    I would suggest getting FP+ return times starting after lunch and for the busiest rides. You're going in a slower season so you should be fine without AM fastpasses. 7DMT wait is long even at rope drop. I would suggest FP for 7DMT, Peter Pan, Splash Mountain or BTM. You can do Tomorrowland at...

    Getting seated at ohana

    We've only eaten there twice. First time we were seated an hour after ADR. Second time 1.5 hrs after ADR. Second time we were there 2 hrs, they basically forgot about us and we didn't get anything but rolls until we'd been there a long time. Ruined all our plans for the evening. We eat counter...

    Buying resale - resort choice, use year questions and more!

    We are now planning to buy DVC points, after 5 years of careful consideration. We want to buy resale to get the best bang for our buck. Our resort of choice is Bay Lake Tower because of proximity to MK, monorail for easy access to signature dining choices and Epcot, lower points per night than...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions-Old Thread-New Thread Link in Post 1

    Are the in-room safes big enough to fit an iPad Air? I brought my laptop last year and I remember it was too big for the safe at POR, but can't remember if it was big enough for a full-size iPad. Thanks!

    Thanks! We're excited about trying somewhere new this year! One more question - are there drink refill stations for the refillable mugs anywhere besides the food court?

    The New Caribbean Beach FAQ Part VII

    We booked a King bed room for 12/13-12/21 this year. We want to be close to the main building & pool, how do I find out the location of the king rooms to make a request? Are there king beds in any of the preferred rooms? We've always stayed at one of the Port Orleans resorts and I'm totally...

    When is Your FAVORITE Time to Go?

    We are going early December for the 3rd year in a row. I guess that's our favorite. We've also been in June/July (never again!) and late Feb which was nice. One year I'll make it in late October - been wanting to go at that time for awhile but Dec (usually with free dining) tends to win out.

    Many resorts sold out 10/24-30???

    There was something wrong with the system but seems to be fixed now. We were looking at Oct and Dec and everything was sold out. I was kinda panicked but then realized it had to be a glitch. An hour later, everything was fine and just booked yet another December trip!

    People Who Actually Like FP+ and MBs

    We went in Dec and we loved it. In 10 days we only pulled one paper Fastpass, but we really didn't even need it. We didn't feel the daily limit of 3 was too restrictive at all, but we did visit each park 2 days each. We don't go at peak season and we never did rope drop this time although we...
