    MagicBands say pick up at front desk?

    Mine said the same thing (my trip starts March 29th) but then I received an email within a couple of days saying they shipped. They will probably arrive tomorrow so it's probably the same thing for yours. I know I was panicking too because I didn't want to wait!

    Is Epcot really worth it??

    I would say yes, Epcot is definitely worth it, especially if you don't plan on going again. With 5 days, I would do 2 days MK, 1 day at each of the other parks. My DDs are 8 and 6. We have been taking them since they were 4 and 2. Epcot is their 2nd favorite park behind MK. In Future World...

    Ladies and Gentleman this will be the new promotion for 2013,

    I know there was some debate over the tickets prices on the 1st page and what some of us are paying. Just wanted to say I priced mine out online and the 2A, 2C 7 day MYW tickets are coming to 1,069.70. On the 1st page, it says $980.00. If there is a 7% tax, that would make them 1,048.60, or a...

    Ladies and Gentleman this will be the new promotion for 2013,

    Guess I will try that, too! My discount is about 15% off the package price for POP.

    Ladies and Gentleman this will be the new promotion for 2013,

    I have looked through many posts so sorry in advance if I missed this but has anyone gotten the price of their tickets separate from their room reservation. Just curious because I am paying about $100 more for 2A and 2C 7 day base tickets than what is shown on the first post. It says $253 for...

    Spring Promo Open to Disney Visa Holders

    Got through in less than 20 minutes:goodvibes. Confused by this discount to say the least. My original price was $1182 for 7 nights at POP (6/8-6/15). She gave me a room only discounted price of $945, a difference of $237 which is a 20% discount. Not bad, except that I was expecting the...

    Disney Y.E.S. Program

    My DD7 and DD5 did the YES program this past June and I would like to do it again for our trip in June '13. This last time I did it more at the last minute so if anyone could tell me when they started posting the classes for June and when they went on sale, that would be great!

    Special extras to do at parks

    I didn't even think about City Walk and what would be there. It didn't exist the last time I went. Funny that we just took the girls to see Blue Man Group in Chicago. At first they were disappointed because they wanted to go back to Medieval Times but they ended up loving it! I think the...

    What has been the best deal that you've ever seen Disney offer

    The best discount that I have used was the stay 4 nights, get 3 nights free back in 2009. It was my DH and DD4 and DD2 (at that time) first time. It was so cheap (the deal plus the one DD under 3) that when we went two years later, my DH couldn't believe the increase in price.

    Special extras to do at parks

    Next June, I will be taking my DH, DD8, and DD6 to Universal (both parks), Sea World, Discovery Cove, Aquatica, and possibly Busch Gardens. I have been to Universal and Sea World before but it has been many, many years! I know WDW so well so I'm nervous about going to all these parks w/o much...

    At least one thing in WDW is a bargain

    We were at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago on Saturday and my husband noticed the $1.01 price right away. He was like "No way, those are only 51 cents in Disney!"

    Fall break ideas

    Another vote for St. Louis. That is where we took our DD7 and DD5 for their fall break and it was perfect! We went to the St. Louis Arch, the Brewery (kids loved the horses), the Zoo, the Magic House, and Grant's Farm. They keep asking to go back:)

    Visiting Chicago - where to stay on a budget

    We go every other year to Chicago to visit friends and stay out in Schaumburg. We love it there. It is about a 30 minute drive into the city but very affordable for Chicago. We usually stay at the Wyndham hotel on Remington but this time I chose the Country Inn & Suites on Roselle because the...

    Spending Money Budget - Is it possible?

    Absolutely! My DDs were the same age on their first trip and we only took them to the Pop store on their last day and let them pick out a couple of things each. Other than that we mostly steered clear of them. With their stroller, it was harder to go through them at the parks anyway...

    Chicago-Where to go except...

    The Congress was the first hotel I ever stayed at in Chicago when I was ten years old. I would love for the girls to see Buckingham Fountain. Monet is also one of my favorite artists so I love the art museum. Hoping we can find enough for the girls to make it interesting for them, too!

    Chicago-Where to go except...

    Love the Children's Museum (and the fact that it is free with my science museum membership) but it is also on the no list. I will check out the Jelly Belly Factory tour, though. Sounds fun for the kiddos!

    Chicago-Where to go except...

    Thank so much! I just got home and was able to read all of these and I am so very excited to look into all these places! I knew there had to be a whole lot of other things to do but Chicago is such a big city it is so hard to find which places are good and would appeal to my kids. I really...

    Chicago-Where to go except...

    We love traveling to Chicago and go every other year to see our friends. We (DH, me, DD7, and DD5) are heading back up there at the end of July and are interested in going to some new places this time around. So what we won't be doing: -Shedd Aquarium -Field Museum -Planetarium (haven't...

    Old navy freebies

    Snap 5 should be $5 off any purchase, no minimum:). Thank you, OP! I had two Snap 10's and two Snap 5's today and spent $5 to get over $35 worth of merchandise. My mom got the same and bought me $30 worth of merchandise for free:goodvibes
