    Walker mobility

    I used Walker for our trip in December. Next time, I'll go with a different company. The scooter worked but it was LOUDER than any of the other scooters I witnessed while I was there. They were also late at pickup. I had called an hour or so before my pickup window to confirm the pickup time...

    Be our Guest lunch questions

    We ate at BOG for both breakfast and lunch for the first time a few weeks ago. We pre-ordered both. At breakfast, we checked in at the outside kiosk, bypassed the line waiting to order, and went directly to a cashier to confirm order didn't change and pay with dining credits. Easy peasy. We...

    Any experiences - child portion of adult entree using DDP?

    This is exactly what I would suggest. Unless you are both big eaters, it will still be plenty of food. Or, add a kids meal and split that as well.

    An Unpleasant Experience at Yak and Yeti CS

    We were there on Dec 20 and there was a CM standing by the opening to the inside seating area, with a rope across the opening. We simply asked, "Can we get through?" and they replied "Yes, of course." and removed the rope for us. I'm not sure I would call this patrolling. We had party members...

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    Very helpful pictures. Thanks! I noticed that the food court wasn't too busy at typical dinner-time but got much busier later in the evening as folks got back to the resort from the parks. Also, I hunted everywhere for syrup for my DD's Mickey waffles and couldn't find any out with the other...

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    Saw boiled eggs in the refrigerated section of the food court a couple weeks ago.

    Milk

    Our resort had small 1 cup (8 oz) cartons of milk as well as larger pint (16 oz) bottles. I didn't note the price because we were on the meal plan and either counted as a snack credit. Note that the resort shop had a slightly different variety of milk products than the food court so check...

    The Disney Dining Plan is going to give us heart disease

    We spent a week on the QS plan and we noticed the same thing, in that we normally weren't charged for snacks that we had on our tray along with entrees. Honestly, I think the cashiers don't know how to ring them up properly. One time, the cashier rang them up separately, as in a completely new...

    fruits & salads on dining plan.....HELP!

    Oops. Yes, you are right. Thank you for the correction. I just returned a week ago; I think I was confusing the number because DD would get cereal, milk, fruit, and a pastry for a single QS credit. I believe, though, that the cereal/milk only counted as one snack, which is why she was able to...

    fruits & salads on dining plan.....HELP!

    Note that at the resort you should be able to get three "snacks" for a counter service credit PLUS an additional snack in place of your drink, if you are using your refillable mug for water or other beverage. Look in the refrigerated section for the vegetable boxes, side salads, and fruit. The...

    Refillable Water Stations

    We saw the same just last week at a couple of the park Starbucks. Note that they want you to use the disposable paper cups for water and not directly fill your own container. You can fill the paper cup repeatedly to then fill your own container. Probably a hygiene issue but seems odd when...

    Best low-carb-high-fat meals I had at quick service

    I didn't visit other resorts on this trip, unfortunately. Epcot has a good amount of variety for quick service. The best salmon I had was at Sunshine Seasons. Liberty Inn at the America pavilion has a strip steak plate that is ok - the steak is way overcooked for my taste but they do provide a...

    Best low-carb-high-fat meals I had at quick service

    Hopefully this will be helpful for planning for those who eat LCHF: Top marks go to the fajita platter I had at Pecos Bill. I dumped all the rice and gave the tortillas and most of the black beans to my DD, piled on cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole from the toppings bar. Even sharing...

    Where to keep laptop

    Recently stayed in AS Music. We had two laptops with us and neither would even come close to fitting in the safe. DD left her laptop in a backpack but I left mine out in the open. Unless it is new or high-end, I don't think there is much risk.

    2 parks, 1 day. No hopper. Is this allowed.

    Florida law states:Children 5 years old or younger must be secured in a federally approved child restraint system. The parent would need to make the decision on whether they feel it is safe for the child to use a regular seatbelt to the airport.

    Anyone else having a hard time checking in online

    Definitely try different browsers and if you are using the online website, try the app, and vice versa.

    Room requests

    They start assigning the rooms a few days before your arrival. I don't think it matters when you do online checkin if you do it before before then.

    Navi river Journey at rope drop?

    We did Na'vi River Journey during EMH on December 18. We were well back in the throng when they opened the park (well before 8:00 but I didn't note the exact time) and didn't rush our walking. On this particular morning, they didn't hold us at the bridge once we got through the entry...

    FOP and heavier people worry....

    Honestly, it sometimes seems to depend also on the CM working the ride rather than just body size. I saw a woman get ejected when the CM couldn't make the back support click one more time and the woman said she had just ridden the ride with no problem earlier that same day. This particular CM...

    2 parks, 1 day. No hopper. Is this allowed.

    This is the best plan, IMHO, with the late afternoon flight time, and much cheaper than adding the hopper option to all your tickets.
