    Sad...help me cope. Cancelled ressie and won't be going this year after going 8 years straight

    I need to clarify here for all of you so I'm using this one to reply to. If you read the OP, it says that costs are going up because a) flight ticket and b) an extra $200 just because of room costs increasing. My logic for not going PRIMARILY is that my wife and I won't be able to enjoy a trip...

    Sad...help me cope. Cancelled ressie and won't be going this year after going 8 years straight

    Yeah, I know that cost will continue to go up. We just won't be going year after year like we are now, which is fine. That helps alleviate some of the additional cost. As far as attendance, I don't know. Call me a skeptic but I feel that attendance will be down (and I'm talking 1-2% down, not...

    Sad...help me cope. Cancelled ressie and won't be going this year after going 8 years straight

    So...I eventually had to do it. Had to cancel my reservation bounceback for free dining. Did it for one of two reasons: 1) We now have 2 kids below the age of 2...too much stress to be able to take them. 2) The price has just gotten OUT OF CONTROL. Add a kid to the mix and it increases the...

    Sept not low crowds anymore?

    As someone who has gone in September for the last 8 years, here are my thoughts (and this might open up a whole new subject): We went this year from the 5th-13th with a one and a half year old. Because we are familiar with the parks, we were able to get A LOT done. My wife and I both said...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Andre, quick question: Do Riverside and FQ still share buses at Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and HS during off peak times? And does MK still have their own bus for each resort? We will be there in 2 days (Yes!) and want to know the current situation. I know you have a site that has all of the...

    Polynesian vs POFQ - is it worth an extra $1500 for 6 nights?

    Agree completely with this. I had the BEST transportation at POFQ...better than any of the values even (and POP century is known for having the best bus transportation). One time, my wife and I were leaving Wishes at MK late at night. Usually the place is MOBBED with people at all bus stops...

    Poly or French Quarter- the $1000 question

    I would agree with this post, EXCEPT POFQ was not included in the free dining promotion. You might have better luck getting a room at this one. However, all of the other mods are going to be tough to get into since they did offer FD. Good luck with your decision. I would do POFQ because I...

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    :worship: Thank you! Great suggestion. That's what I'll do. With a one and a half year old, we have to get Vitamin D milk at the gift shop anyways. I will try it there before we go (should only waste a few minutes then). Thanks everyone. It seems like people have had issues with MDE and...

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    Ok, so went ahead and did that. So you're saying because I did that, I can just go to my room and then go out and eat and have no hassle? Here is my dilemma...we get in at 6:00 at night...we want to go to WPE to eat after arriving at POFQ. We have a 1 and a half year old and I want to bypass...

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    I tried to find what you are looking for and I can't...do I have to update my card to find out what you're referring to? I don't see the screen you're referring to.

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    I understand that brand new people to MDE can set up their pin. We are people that went last year and now they're not allowing us to do anything because "our pin is set"...I thought that meant we could use our pin from last year, but when I spoke to someone from MDE, they made it seem that was...

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    It says beside my name, "Your PIN is set." On my spouses, it says, "Has a PIN"....so, if I went last year, did MDE, am using the same credit as before, should I assume that I have the same pin as before then?

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    Should have given you more background. The online check in would not allow me to set up the PIN. It said, "Already assigned"....I called the MDE people and asked if it had to do with the fact we were there last October and we just use the same PIN from before. He said that wasn't the reason...

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    So, I spoke with the MDE people and asked them, "If I went last year and remembered my pin from last year, could I just use the same pin from the previous trip if I just leave everything alone." He said no....you have to go to the front desk to activate the charging privileges and the dining...

    Is it just me or is there no benefit to the texting benefit on the online check in?

    Hey everyone... So, I know Disney started the whole "we will text you when your room is ready and let us arrive at your room immediately" benefit (like that title I used for the benefit? :)) So, I called up My Disney Experience and spoke with a CM there and I asked, "Why isn't online check in...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    The advantage of online check in is to help your check in process go much faster than having to wait in the regular line. They have a separate desk for online check in only. However, in my experience at POFQ, the resort is not that big and the lines are not that long at the front desk area...

    Does Garden Grill atmospher change when "Living with the Land" is closed?

    Hi everyone.... My family is going to DW in less than 3 weeks. We love eating at the Garden Grill not just for the character interaction and food, but also for the experience of circling the "Living with the Land" ride. I see that "Living with the Land" is closed during the time we are eating...

    Ohana or garden grill?

    Again, where are we getting these "straight out of the box" mixes?? What examples are you talking about? If you say the mashed potatoes, there is NO way that is straight out of the box. They are our one of our favorite items and we always ask for seconds. I can't speak for the kids...

    Ohana or garden grill?

    This review is unfair of Garden Grill. While I agree the meat can vary from experience to experience, the mashed potatoes are NOT instant and are completely fresh. Please, when trying to state reviews of a place, at least say things that are truthful. As far as the two places, I do prefer...

    Brawl at Test Track-Epcot

    Why is this being moved? This happened at a park...people post news items on here all the time. How is this any different? Not trying to cause trouble...just want to know.
