    Looking for Parking Tips

    Yes. You're right. I imagine that is the best strategy. But is that the only thing? Meaning just by getting there early I will be directed to a good spot? Are there other lots that have a walking shortcut that I wouldn't necessarily know about? With Disney I was able to purchase blue diamond...

    New to Universal - Can You Suggests Some Tips/Tricks?

    What is the Annual Passholder discount? Is that worth getting if it is very unlikely we are going back next year? Plus, the only other in-the-park resorts available were starting at $700 a night. Thanks.

    New to Universal - Can You Suggests Some Tips/Tricks?

    Hi All, The family and I (wife, daughter (15), son(12) ) have done Disney a couple of times in the past 6 years. We were pretty well planned out (not a military operation, but had an agenda) and had a great time. This is our first trip to Universal and we only have three full days of the...

    WDW Wait times or Wait Watchers?

    I just got back from WDW this Sunday and was using WDW Wait Times. It seemed to be more accurate or just that more people were using it over Wait Watchers. I'm not saying that Wait Watchers was not accurate, it was just there were very few posts in it, comparatively. Also, I think WDW Wait...

    Tipping Garden Grocer

    Be aware that you should definitely order ahead of time. We are going down this Sunday and after my DW spent a considerable amount of time entering in everything, she got a message that due to high-volume they will not be able to deliver the 23rd-25th (or something like that):sad2: I am...

    Transportation from Epcot to Beach Club

    I think I'll park at Epcot and walk. I'm not looking to cheat or go against policy. Plus, then I don't even have to worry about it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Transportation from Epcot to Beach Club

    OK, I'm gonna ask this question, knowing I might get flamed. However, my intention is not to cheat the system, it is just trying to figure out the best approach. We are staying at OKW. Would it make sense to park at the Beach Club in the morning, walk over to Epcot and then back for...

    Transportation from Epcot to Beach Club

    Hi, We have ADRs at the Beach Club at 10:30am next week. I was thinking that we could hit Epcot at opening, dash to Soarin' and maybe Test Track and then get to the Beach Club for breakfast/brunch at 10:30. Does that sound reasonable? If so, when should we leave Epcot and what is the best...

    Tipping Garden Grocer

    I'm not sure how much in advance you can order, but I think you need to give them at least 36 hours before delivery. I've never ordered from them before, so I am no expert at all. I suggest you give them a call because I don't want to give you any bad information. I think they have a customer...

    Tipping Garden Grocer

    Yes. What my DW found out is, at the desk, they will put them in a refrigerator. If that is true (which I can't imagine it is not) I am even more impressed than I originally was - which is hard to do! Plus, I am going in less than 48 hours!

    Tipping Garden Grocer

    We are ordering from Garden Grocer for the first time today. We were concerned that we won't be in the room when they deliver. My wife called and said they drop off the groceries at the front desk. What if you are not in the room when they deliver it? How do you tip them?

    Getting from OKW to Beach Club

    We are staying at OKW and have brunch reservations at the Beach Club, at 10:30. I was thinking get to Epcot at opening, do Soarin' and the other ones that fill up fast and then get to brunch and then go back to Epcot. Since we are staying at OKW, should be take the cars back and forth or...

    Celebrating Retirement - any ideas?

    Hi DISners, We are going to WDW next week! :banana: I just found out my father-in-law is going to be retiring in a few months. I've heard of the birthday and anniversary buttons, but are there any retirement ones? Does anyone have any ideas for celebrating his retirement? I was...

    Opinions about the different iPhone wait time apps?

    I'm going next week and am also anxious to try them out. Unfortuntaly, I have no idea how good each one is. I will say that I've been looking at them every few days and it seems to me that more people are posting to the WDW Wait Times Disney app - that is my completely subjective opinion. It is...
