    Pin Trading Questions

    CR 4 Life -- thanks for the link -- it's just what I was looking for! Just to clarify -- I thought the CM's handled both of these situations beautifully. They were polite to the traders & apologetic to me about the trader's behaviors. I, too, would have done what you suggested -- wait my...

    Pin Trading Questions

    OP -- I'm sorry I don't have any expertise to add to this subject, but I find this whole topic fascinating! I am usually a "collector" of all kinds of things, but for some reason I just haven't been bitten hard by the pin bug! (I'm sure my husband is thankful -- or at least our bank account...

    Contemporary Resort

    ... and I'm going to be the lone voice saying NO! don't stay at CR! I'm hoping our situation was just a very, very bad series of coincidences, but I can say we will NEVER stay there again! We will definitely still stay on the monorail loop (probably Grand Floridian) but NOTHING went right...

    "Safe" Seats for Laugh Floor

    OMG -- we were there last week too! We went on Tuesday afternoon -- just when it looked like a rainstorm! We sat in the front row (for wheelchairs -- ours was a stroller as a wheelchair) near the laugh meter. Not only were we shown as a family during the beginning part, but my husband was...

    Only have 2 to 3 hours to spend at HS

    from our 5 day trip & our 2 yr 9 mo old son LOVED Playhouse Disney show at HS! Next to the Pirates ride at MK, it was his fave! of course, he is a REGULAR watcher of all of those shows, so he was totally entranced by it. Also, he was very afraid of the characters up close & in person (we...

    stroller tag?

    I've been reading a lot about putting a tag on your stroller so that it doesn't get "stolen" by anyone else -- and so that you can find it easier in the crowded stroller parking!! I know if you rent one the Disney folks put a tag on it with your last name & the date(s) of your rental. If...

    fuel surcharge?

    thank you everyone for your input, and thank you John for your reply. I'm not sure if you are the "john" I spoke with the first time on the phone or not. I do know for a fact that a fuel surcharge was never mentioned -- and was definitely not included in my price quote over the phone...

    The rudes guest encounter you had at WDW?

    WOW! Most of these stories have me almost speechless! I don't have a "rude guest" story -- yet! We will be there in mid September & I have to confess, I'm a little nervous. I know it's supposed to be not as busy during that time, but with free dining & all I've read here on the DIS I'm...

    Just tore the liagment in my ankle, Disney on Saturday.. Question!

    Rora: I echo what the others have said -- get a scooter! I have had rheumatoid arthritis since age 5 (a long time ago!) and although I don't necessarily "look" disabled I have learned that I have to make smart decisions about my abilities & stamina! (BTW -- I've often wondered what makes...

    Women's consignment stores

    First -- I am very sorry for your loss. :hug: Just my two cents worth -- I third the idea of giving the clothes to a program that helps women find jobs. I used to work in employment & training services & there are MANY women out there who can't afford a decent interview outfit or even a...

    Mickey Mouse Clubhouse?

    OP -- Great question! Our son is a MMCH fanatic! He loves all of the Playhouse Disney shows so we will be spending some time at HS! One question, though. I notice every mention of the show says something about JoJo & Goliath - and that show is no longer part of the Playhouse Disney...

    Harnesses for Kids

    Wow! After reading all 9 pages, I just have to chime in.... 1st -- to the OP, although that harness is cute, I agree it might get too hot & be difficult for your child to lean back @ shows, etc. 2nd-- we use the one an earlier poster linked that is just a blue harness; no animal. Our...

    Tomato help

    DH loves my stuffed tomatoes. I simply cut around the center of the tomato until I can use a melon baller to take out the "insides". I roughly dice it (taking out the core) and then add it to a bowl with some panko bread crumbs, grated parmesean cheese, a small amount of olive oil and laughing...

    Ugh, dh has a court date while we are at Disney

    WOW! Hot topic! :scared1: I am a former workforce development professional. First -- states do have different rules & although some of the PP's have pointed this out, there are still many posters making assumptions based on their own state! (Disclaimer: I did not work in Michigan in...
