I need some ideas/feedback for Christmastime thank you gifts. I am battling breast cancer but I would like to do something special for all those family and friends and caregivers that went to chemo with me, made a meal for our family etc. I had a few ideas and wanted some feedback to know if...

I also live in the Detroit area (Belleville area) and have done Disney as well as Cedar Point etc. Another suggestion would be King's Island in Cincinnati. It has great rides for kids (if you are not into all the big ones at Cedar Point) Kings Island might be ideal. There is a lot to do in...

Jack (11) likes pirates (Jack Sparrow) and also Toy Story and Classic Mickey!

Hi Descovy, I am right with you on your post! I am a cake decorator with an at home business for 12 years and make homemade cakes and buttercream icing. I truly feel that the cakes presented on the Food Network have done a dis-service to most decorators. I have LOTS of people wanting...

My DS11 is getting Light Strikers for Christmas. He did not ask for them but I found them at the Toys R Us website on ordered them on cyber Monday. I think he will really like them (I ordered 2 so his dad can play with him). Since he likes Nerf I think he will really be into it. I also don't...

I am happy to report, everything went great when booking our Grand Gatherings! We got what we needed and the CM was so helpful. Thank you both for your answers and help!

I am able to book any available Grand Gatheriing experiences for our December trip tomorrow. I know I should be on the phone a little before 7:00 am. Do I just give them my trip dates and ask for anything available for those dates?? Or will I need specific dates.. I want Epcot Illuminations/...

Hi! My DH and DS8 and I were there this past Jan. It was a WONDERFUL place. The decor was outstanding and my son LOVED the whole experience. If your kids have been to Rain Forest Cafe it is similiar in the noise level etc. It is a little hard to talk but the Dino ride and AK is lots louder...

We had an quite a time on the Dinosaur ride at AK last Jan 2nd. We had waited in line almost 11/2 hrs and were NEXT to board the land rover. They let us load then immediately made us get off. We waited another 30 minutes as all the riders had to be brought back and unloaded. The inside lights...

My DS8 absolutely LOVED both Star Tours and Mission... he got a kick out of being the "navigator" and rode it 3x. He is a bit of a nervous nelly...(what's going to happen mom)?? and he did just great. I don't think your DS will have a problem riding the green side. The warnings are more...

Our family is hoping to book some Grand Gathering Experiences and just wondering if they take the DDP. Is the Illuminations Gathering a dessert only with the fireworks?? I am not sure if this is a dining event, snack or we pay separately for it. Also we are interested in the Tusker House...

Don't know if this will sway your decision, but hubby and I were there last Jan (yes, the week of New Years) and went to T-Rex on a whim, NO reservations. The line was spilling out the door, it looked as if we would have to wait hours. We stood in the no reservations line, gave our name and we...

We had a GREAT time at the T-Rex in DTD last Jan. My 8 year old son LOVED the whole thing and so did hubby and I. When we arrived the line was spilling out of the entrance and it looked as if we would need to wait hours! We had no reservations and were seated in 15 minutes. The whole...

My family went to the parks Jan 1-6, 2009 and they had Christmas themed buckets with the characters on them. They were very cute. The buckets we bought had a plastic handle/strap. I just unhooked one side of the handle from the bucket and placed it around my purse strap then snapped the...

My husband, son and I had our silhouette done this past Jan (09). It was just the 3 of us and it was framed for $28.00. I believe they can add the characters in as well. I just love our picture, it really does look like us! The carts are located on Main Street heading toward the castle it is...

Thank you so much for that phone number and the info!! The safari and Illuminations sound just wonderful. Hope I can dail fast enough! Glad you had a great time! Thanks!

For TammyIsBlessed, Just an FYI (I am the one that had the silhouettes done) and yes, there are the charicatures pictures that can be done as well. I know for sure they are at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. I am also pretty sure that there is one at Magic Kingdom at Liberty Square...

Thank you so much for this great information. There are 8 of us also going in Dec--the week of Christmas! I know it will be busy but hoping to get reservations if possible. Hopefully it will work out, as it will be a surprise to the rest of the family! :)

I read here that for Grand Gatherings there is a special number to call. I would like to book some of the special events but can't do so until June 20. Was wondering if they also do the ADR's through that number or if I need to call the dining number???? I hear the Grand Gatherings are hard...
