Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
My DS had a liver transplant in 2015 and went through rejection in 2017. We have taken several trips to Disneyland (their DAS is wonderful) in order for him to not have to stand in close proximity to other people in crowded circumstances. He is on numerous medications, including...
I agree this is why I have started taking fewer trips. The lack of what used to make Disney distinctive, it's guest service and time being able to have stellar "everything" seems to have become more of a rarity rather than normal. I no longer drag skeptical friends and family along with me as I...
I just moved from NC (I am really missing that straight-shot down the 95) to OK (Tulsa) and I am contemplating driving to the world. Can anyone tell me what the shortest routes would be that are four lane highways? I hate/loathe/despise two lane back-highways especially at night as a...
I purchased a waterproof lanyard case from Typhoon Lagoon a few years ago to carry my phone, KTW cards and chapstick; it all fit great. I have switched phones since then to an iPhone4 and just tried it out for our upcoming trip and found out that it does not fit :sad1:. Does anyone know if...
I'm from KCMO so please be aware that there is a bias on my part for the MO side of things. As a resident GWL has always seemed to be too pricey for what you get. Many of the previous posters have included things that we do for kids stuff but I thought I would try to add:
It's good idea to...
I was on the hunt for an electric scooter for my 13 year old DS. He really wants one that goes up to 15mph and I was only able to find two brands: Razor 300 and the EZip 450 each were listed most places at $200+. I went to every store in the city to find it and none carried the 15 mph scooter...
I have yet to find them on sale anywhere this year but I wanted to give you a heads up on the sizing. Last year my son was a size 6 in boys and I went to countless stores looking for that size and could never find it. I was complaining to another mom and she recommend that I purchase the large...
Mousesavers.com has a section that tracks historical discounts for Disney for the last few years. That may be a helpful resource to get a better gauge of when the discounts you are looking for may arrive:wizard:
I have stayed at both, the POR Royal Suites are wonderful for a girl that loves the Princesses. The rooms in a moderate and AKL are comparable there is no real difference in the size of the rooms, the AKL room theming is a bit dark. The experience of seeing animals walking around from your...
My DS has done the Pirates League on 3 different occasions. The first time was in 09' when it had first opened and was pretty expensive. I still think the money I spent was worth it. We traditionally go during the Fourth of July and the heat and sweat make for a short-lived...
We went on 6/30 at opening and skipped the dash for the line at Olivander's for FJ. Filch's Emporium was packed but not nearly as claustrophobic as Dervish and Bangs. We went twice to scope out the wands and found out much to my DS's disappointment that they were sold out of all of the major...
I just got off the phone with universal. I have a reservation RPR for the 30th for one night and my hope was to get there early, purchase tickets and then utilize the early admission to see WWOHP without waiting in line for hours. It is the only reason we are taking a day away from our DW trip...
I just wanted to send you words of support and encouragement; I know how hard it is to be in this emotional place as a parent. I went through this with my DS (10) last year when he was in 3rd grade. He flunked every spelling test (we would literally spend HOURS studying for them and it was as...
Thanks so much for the list! You have officially opened the door for a whole new world of "things I really need mommy" :) but at least now I will be financially prepared to try to anticipate the costs. I'm also inclined to spoil on this trip because he has literally been waiting years for this...
I have an extremely anxious Harry Potter fan (DS 10) who is frantically saving his allowance to buy souvenirs on our trip to WWOHP. I'm really interested in getting a better feel for some of the prices of the souvenirs he is most excited about: he is fixated on a quidditch outfit. Does anyone...
I think you made the right choice. My DS (10) loves the POR pool and the boat ride to Downtown Disney (to feed his Lego fanaticism). The food court is also a huge plus in my opinion. There were enough choices to satisfy him and he is an extremely picky eater. I like the POFQ but the pool is...
We have stayed at both and love the decor at each. If we had a choice we would go with AKL again for the following reasons: the food court (DS was miserable at WL and their lack of selection it was also small), the ANIMALS! it was the one time in our Disney experience that we actually "enjoyed"...
It depends what part of Independence you are looking at; anything on Noland rd. may be a bit more run down but there are some newer/nicer hotels on the 70 corridor right next to the (east) side of Independence Center (shopping mall). I can't recall the names of all of them but if you search on...
