I've used Fox twice. The rental locations are usually pretty far from the terminal and require a shuttle bus ride. The line at the counter to actually get the car can be long and slow. I never had a problem with them, other than it was just time-consuming to get to the rental location, and to...

I stayed in a park view suite in January 2019. The rooms are close to the street, which was good at the end of the day walking back to the room. The balconies had good view of fireworks. When we stayed they were not having fireworks at night but it seems they were practicing the fireworks show...

You make an excellent point, and this is also something about which I am concerned. We plan to be out the door on the way to the airport no later than 3:30am. I'm a RN and I work night shift, so this is like the middle of the day for me, but for DH it's going to be rough. For me, staying awake...

I've been wondering the same thing for my upcoming trip. I pin-traded like crazy at WDW and really enjoyed it. My last trip to DLR I was all excited for pin trading but it was quite difficult to even find pins to trade. There are pin boards in some of the shops, but you need to ask about them...

Thanks for the replies. I grew up in the Bay Area, and while we had our share of rush-hour traffic, I am not well-versed in Los Angeles-level traffic. I had suspected I might have problems trying to fit so much in, and you both have confirmed this for me. I'm going to see what I can accomplish...

Hi, Everyone! I've been reading the boards like crazy for months now, looking for ideas for our first day, and I found a lot of really interesting ideas. So, THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to the boards, you've all been so helpful. Now I have a plan in place, and am looking for...

Unless something has changed, I did exactly that on my last trip with my sister. My military dependent ID was all that was needed. I bought the armed forces salute tickets right at the ticket booth, easy peasy.

Our room at the Tropicana has a balcony, and I am sooo excited!

Wow, lots of really great replies! I appreciate everyone's input and suggestions. I think we are going to say at Tropicana for the duration because my DH is not as enchanted by the Magic as I am, and I have had several on-site stays before. I just got all carried away because normally the...

These 10 years have flown by! Hardly seems like any time has passed at all. No pool time, thankfully. But I am still reconsidering just because of the hassle of packing everything up and moving hotels...

Thanks for your thoughts, it's always good to have another brain helping with figuring things out. I definitely agree about the waste of time switching hotels, and that is one thing that has me second guessing the plan. This trip is not exclusively for the parks, either, which adds more moving...

My judgement is clouded and I am hoping some of you can be more pragmatic than I am. Or maybe talk me into going for the Magic? The summary for those who don't have time to read this long post: We have 4 nights booked at Tropicana Inn in an executive suite1/13-1/17. Debating whether to spend...

I dislike the feeling in my tummy going on certain drops. I've discovered that if I curl up like a boiled shrimp and tighten my abdominal muscles right before the drop, I don't feel that sensation at all. It may work for you as well. Really clench that tummy! Edited to add: Also, I keep my...

Very excited to be going in January! DH and myself, doing a split stay because this will be our last trip for a long time. I really wanted to stay on-site the entire time but the budget won't allow for it. We haven't been since 2013, and it was only one day, and we stayed at the Marriott near...

TThis is a picture of two items from Cafe Orleans, May 2016 but still on the menu. We loved the fries, very tasty and plenty to share. The salad was overpowered by the dressing but was amazing otherwise. Next time (in two weeks!) I will see if they can do the dressing on the side, but I intend...

Rent the car from 730am that day to 730am the next day. This solves the problem of trying to get it back before they close in the evening. This should work as long as you have a safe place to park the car overnight. There is usually a grace period of 30 minutes, after which they charge another...

I collect pins, usually attractions or characters I love, as well as pins with the current year and the park I am visiting. I trade pins with the cast members as well. Pins are small and take up very little room in the luggage...but they are a bit pricey. It's hard to restrain myself from...

I'm planning to rock this sweet little fanny pack for my trip to Disneyland later this month. I won't have to take it off for rides, and it actually fits a good amount of stuff. I despise having heavy bags on my shoulders, whether it's a backpack or a cross-body bag. I tested the capacity with...

I get motion sickness pretty easily, and for that reason had held off on going on ToT because I was convinced that the up and down/drops would make me sick. I finally decided to just go for it last month at Disney World, because life is short and I want to have no regrets, such as regretting...

I've had a few that were not one big breast, but rather lots of small pieces smooshed together and held in place by the net. It freaked me out when I started slicing and chunks were falling apart. I looked online and found that some brands do this, and it is perfectly fine. SO if that...
