    Should my teens download My Disney Experience on their own iphones?

    I have done all the planning for the family ( dining reservations, FP+). All are under "family" in MDE and all are for all 4 of us, same times. If my teens decide they want something different and not hang out with mom & dad, should I have them download MDE on their phones, but use my login...

    What are our chances of getting a Grand Villa...

    I don't know about that particular week (late Sept), but we just booked OKW GV for the last week of this August a couple of weeks ago (well under 7 months)!. :flower: You never know!

    Trying to WOW the in-laws

    Actually, my meaning of "in-laws" this time was sister/brother, not mother/father! LOL! Thanks for you insight.

    Trying to WOW the in-laws

    This is our first trip to OKW and first time with extended family. We were able to get OKW GV for end of August---our first WOW! But DH & I have never been to OKW, only BCV & BWV. We'll have several children under 13, so I know that the new sandcastle pool/slide will be a big hit. Should I...

    Pin Trading

    Our 6 year old twins just started trading during our last trip in April. They really enjoyed going to the Contemporary on a Friday night (we had ressies at Chef Mickey's too) where they had a special roped off area just for kids. The CMs had a huge table-filled display of pins to "trade" with...

    Very Late Arrival

    First time staying at BWV std 1 BR. Arriving about 11PM on 3/31. Requested non-smoking, upper floor, near pool (not quite sure where that would put us). What is the policy if, for instance, only handicapped is left which we really don't want. Can we switch (with change fee?) for remainder of our...

    toddler at table in BCV 2br

    I stayed in 2BR with my twins this June. I would bring the booster seat. Then you have option of sitting toddler on a chair at the table (my preference) or the counter (kinda narrow). He might even find it fun to sit on his knees on the bench side of the table. BTW, I loved having the...

    Anybody out there fly from Newark this past Easter?

    We usually go during slower times like September when airfare from Newark is under $200. In 2004, we will be going down during spring break (week before Easter in our school district). Non stop flights out of Newark to Orlando are outrageous. Cheapest is $370 for the days we need. That's on...

    Very late arrival

    What would you do? Got our ressies for Spring Break 2004 (our 2nd trip home!) Then I checked airfares. If we come down night before our current first day of ressies (after kids get out of school), we can save about $400 in airfare. However, flight leaves at 8:30 pm getting into MCO at...

    Pin trading for my 5 yr old twins & their grandma?

    We'll be taking my mom (75 yrs old) with us in June and thought she and my 5 yr old boy/girl twins would have a fun time doing the "pin trading thing" together with the CMs. More for fun than serious collecting, but how do I get them started? I did buy a bunch of pins at TDS when they had...

    New EA with "old" ressie

    Back in beginning of March when the rates were nice and low I made ressies for our 11 day June trip with National EA reserving Full Size car. Got a really super rate of $197 incl all taxes & fees with DC contract and $20 off coupon. Rates have been a lot higher since their conversion to the...

    should i wait and use my new disney visa to pay off my loan?

    Pattison-- We used our 2 visa cards for our entire DVC initial purchase. Our guide "timed" the charges so that we wouldn't go over our limit and both cards give us 1% back (one card actually was having a 2% special!!) . Don't know loan agreement particulars but it couldn't hurt to call MS...

    kid club for 4 yr old?

    Monalsw - I did call that day for ressies at the Neverland Club and there were kids there from other hotels-not just Polynesian. If you are going to do MK with your older child, then this would be a good choice since you can hop on the monorail. If you are going to do EPCOT, then the Sandcastle...

    kid club for 4 yr old?

    Where are you staying? We did the Neverland club at the Polynesian one night last Sept for our twin DD4/DS4. They loved it. I think it was $8/hour/child (may be up to $10 now). And that included dinner (pizza, chicken fingers, etc) It was a big room with different play areas. We were asked...

    A Delicate, Personal Question...for Full Figured DIS'ers!

    Last year at MCO all of us passed thru except my DD4. They made her take off her "light-up" sneakers and wanded her (nice female security guard). We just told her she was extra special that day!! ;)

    Membership Card

    We closed on BCV in Dec 2002 and received a "temporary" membership card that expires today, March 14. When we got it I asked my guide why was it temporary and she said it gives them time to send out real one. Well haven't gotten the "real" one, so called MS this morning who informed me that it...

    What a great list, BillPA! thanks! I can rest assure now that I know I will be sipping some vino from glasses rather than paper cups and not pulling the cork out with a knife!!
