    cheapest way to be an Annual Passholder?

    I was a bit interested in this, since you can get special mechandise, etc, exclusive only to APs. And I noticed on the Disney web site, if you click and get into the 'purchase annual passes' section, they have the option of 'DisneyQuest Annual Pass' for $71 for kids or $89 for adults. Would this...

    Shipping costs to Canada from Disneyshopping.com

    I was looking at some stuff on disneyshopping.go.com, and I added an $8 pin to my basket, and clicked on the checkout, the s&h for the pin was $35 US, for an ordinary pin, maybe about 1" x 2" (or so), fairly flat, very light weight (under an ounce). So how can shipping be this high? And this was...

    Legal Question

    Something like this happened when someone 'stole' an animated gif I made and used it as an avatar. After checking, I found a lot of mention of the term 'Fair Use', which means if someone happens to 'find' an image on the internet, and they want to use it for personal, educational, or...

    MNSSHP pins, any left??

    Anyone get back from WDW recently and noticed the stock of pins made for MNSSHP? We're leaving in a few days for WDW, with our tickets for the Halloween Party on the 28th, and I'm hoping to pick up a few, and I hope they arent sold out of a lot, which only leaves the framed set as a way to get...

    How to shoot fireworks

    I had bought a camera with an underwater housing before our last vacation, and due to a few issues, ended up returning it. But I knew I needed a new camera, and knew if I didn't get a new one right away, I probably wouldnt have the extra money later, so I got a Kodak 'easyshare' (I'll check the...

    Anyone crossed the border with a 'smudge' on their record?

    I have a 'smudge', in fact, I'm flagged, I get questioned and harrassed constantly when crossing the border, FAR WORSE when re-entering Canada. And unfortunately, it's because I've been charged with crimes, but not convicted, so I can't get a pardon or a waiver, and every time a cross the...

    Any severe traffic offence experts out there?

    It's a hard one to fight. Is he trying to say he didn't do it? Or is he trying to justify why its okay to do that? Since it's not like he's being charged with a serious crime, it might be a better idea to just pay whatever fines he has to pay. If he goes to court, say once or twice, right off...

    Heys bags

    Just to address one of the first comments about them being at Winners. The ones that were about $20 - $25 at Winners werent the Travelmate ones, they are the hard case Disney ones. We got one, and they're pretty cool, theyre lightweight, and pretty sure they are carry-on size (well find out soon...

    need a carrybag that can go on rides

    You can get those single strap compact backpacks. Try "single strap backpack" under google images. I've been looking for something for years, but being a guy, anything that has a single strap and can be carried over your shoulder is basically a 'murse', and I just can't bring myself to do it.

    Will a laptop fit in the room safe?

    Ive brought along a laptop on trips when we drove, it has a GPS, and MS Streets & Trips, and it beats a map, or gas-station directions anyday. But the 'fear' of it being stolen, is not fun, or if it actually got stolen, would obviously be far worse. All-in-all, I don't really think it's worth...

    Pin Trading.... with CMs only?

    If they get asked for their favorite, make sure theyre comfortable saying 'No, thanks' to people. Usually guests don't approach other guests, just CMs, but I'm pretty sure guest to guest trading is allowed. As long as it's mutual!

    Breaking even...

    I've added it up before, we've never gotten the DDP, but what we end up spending on food, is about the same as if we had gone with the DDP, except we have a bit more flexibility in where and what we eat without the plan. But my question is with people that say they save so much money. I don't...

    Well, I did it, I downgraded to Pop Century.....

    The Pop Centrury Resort is cool. I was a bit suprised to see the thread title '...downgraded to Pop Century...', as it is a lot of fun, and Ive never heard anything but good comments about it. The first time we went to WDW, we stayed off-site in a more expensive hotel. What a waste of money...

    Crossing the border/customs/etc with pins... any problems?

    Wondering if anyone has ever had any problems? Here are a few situations I can see happening... 1. 'Sorry, these are weapons, we have to confiscate them.' 2. (Upon returning with pins I brought over with me) 'We dont believe you brought these with you, we think you purchased them there, so you...

    Buying Disney Pins in bulk on ebay

    They are not necessarily counterfeit or scrappers when bought in bulk from eBay. But if they are all newer pins, LE, CM, and/or HM, they are more than likely unauthorized overruns which have been sold is massive amounts to redistributors. This bypasses Disney, and their markup. It also bypasses...
