    Portofino Bay Club Level or Hard Rock Hotel Deluxe Room?

    The price is about $50 less a night for HRH, but on top of that we wouldn't need the rollaway which would save another $25 per night on top of that.

    Portofino Bay Club Level or Hard Rock Hotel Deluxe Room?

    We're heading to Universal soon and I can't decide which option to go with - a club level room at Portofino Bay or a Deluxe Room at Hard Rock. We are a family of 5, so having the sofa sleeper in the Deluxe Room is appealing instead of the rollaway - has anyone had any experience with Universal...

    Dining with Food Allergies

    Disney is so good with food allergies. I have a friend whose son is allergic to peanuts, milk, eggs, and wheat. I forget which restaurant it was they told me about, but their son's meal came with a desert which was a scoop of ice cream with cookies to make Mickey ears (the ice cream was the...

    Recommendations for shuttle/tranportation

    Is the flat rate fare also the same for (and are they available) the taxi vans? There are 5 of us and we won't fit in a regular cab. I usually do the exclusive service Super Shuttle, but $40 is cheaper than they are.

    Is Thunder Railroad too intense for a 4.5 yo boy?

    My advice (as a former BTMRR CM) if he wants to ride it, ask to ride up front, close to the engine the first time. It goes a lot slower and less jerky than the back. If he likes that, then try towards the back (which whips you around a lot and is WAY more fun IMO ;) ). We went last...

    Opinion on Bosch Dishwasher

    I do daycare and I LOVE our Bosch. It's the only dishwasher I haven't burnt out. I do 2-3 loads of dishes per day and had both a GE and a Whirlpool die on me after about a year. This is actually our second Bosch. We had a white one at first because all of our appliances were white, but when...

    Managing FP+ for people not on your reservation

    I had similar issues and an MDE tech person was able to link our reservations so that I could make FP+ reservations for everyone. I could see their hotel/ticket reservations also, but I wasn't able to make any changes to those. I don't remember the phone number, but if you call the regular...

    missed FP+ Window?

    We were there last week and missed one of our FP+ times by 5 or 10 minutes. We decided to give it a shot and scan our MBs anyway. It worked! So there must be a little leeway with them, I would guess maybe 15 minutes or so.

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: June 2013

    We are Poly bound tomorrow!! :cool1: That is if we can escape all of this flooding at home. It's crazy - I've never seen so much water. My kids got a "rain day" today because we had so much rain that the roads are closed. I've lived in Colorado my whole life and have never seen this. I...

    Hand, Foot and Mouth

    Poor baby, that sounds awful! My girls had it a couple years ago, but not that bad. Theirs only lasted a few days and never had any peeling. Their mouths were extremely painful though and the only thing I could get them to eat or drink was a Slurpee from 7-11. My DH and I made many trips to...

    Toddler on a Plane--Keeping 'em Busy?

    I had no idea play-doh could cause airborne allergies. I know it contains gluten and has to be kept away from kids with gluten allergies in case they eat it, but I didn't know it could cause anything from breathing near it. My kids were always really good about keeping it in nice big solid...

    Toddler on a Plane--Keeping 'em Busy?

    Just make sure they are the kind with the plastic sticks. I had a freak out moment when my son was about 2. We were shopping at Target and my son was getting restless, so while I checked out I gave him a dum-dum sucker I had in my purse. He very quickly chewed through the paper stick and had...

    Toddler on a Plane--Keeping 'em Busy?

    In addition to movies and books, I've always packed coloring books - either with crayons or color wonder markets are also great because they don't make a mess. My kids also loved play-doh. I'd get those small kits with just a few small containers of play-doh and the little mat and a couple of...

    Need advice on where to watch a game!

    Good news! My mom called Splitsville (which happens to be owned by Brunswick and she works for Brunswick, so I trust who she talked to had accurate information) and they have the NFL Sunday Ticket so they said as long as the game is part of that package, they can play it. Yay! So the boys...

    Need advice on where to watch a game!

    We do have Verizon for our phones, so that may be an option. We don't have DirectTV and I'm finding that it's not as easy to watch on a tablet as I thought if you don't have DirectTV. Hmmm. We don't want to change our reservation because we're going to Epcot in the morning, so any earlier...

    Need advice on where to watch a game!

    I did get it through the Disney site. I was shocked! If I hadn't gotten it there I would have called because I've heard that before, that they only open up a certain amount on the Disney site. But I'm sure at this point being so close, we wouldn't have much luck trying to change it even with...

    Need advice on where to watch a game!

    I thought about that, but I think by the time they got there the game could be over. It starts at 4:25 and our reservation isn't until 5. Figure we're done eating at 6, if they could go somewhere close they might get most of the 2nd half, but if they have to get on a bus to Boardwalk, by the...

    Need advice on where to watch a game!

    Yes, it is a regular season game, but it is only the third time the Manning brothers have played each other. It's a different dynamic when two brothers are playing QB against each other.

    Need advice on where to watch a game!

    You know, I'm not even sure. I thought it was the Sunday Night Football game which is national, but it's not so I have no idea what station it would be on. We're from Denver, so of course it would be shown here. But I don't know if people in Florida care so much about this particular game...
