    Any luck with Touring Plans Reservation Finder?

    I have had great luck with the Reservation Finder too. Last year there was a BOG breakfast reservation I wanted but couldn't get. During our trip, I got one, grabbed it but reset the timer because I wasn't thrilled with the time. As the week went on I rebooked that same reservation 3 times as...

    Disney Dining Plan vs Deluxe Dining Plan

    We LOVE the DxDP! To me, it's the best of all worlds. We get the fun of being in Disney coupled with fine dining each night. We are not the type that has to be in the parks every minute of every day so I don't feel like we're losing time. Is it a lot of food? Absolutely. We generally bring...

    List of 2017 Signature Restaurants? New Restaurants to try?

    I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked but I ran a search and didn't find what I was looking for. We have not done any table service restaurants since 2011, but we went last summer for a budget trip and while we were there we booked a bounceback offer with free dining...

    Last minute feedback please

    I feel like our trip is totally thrown together last minute because we ended up switching from the Swan to Art of Animation 3 weeks ago...and added QSDP to boot. Here's where we're at as of now but things are still in flux. We are a party of 4, 3 adults and DS12 8/27 - Autotrain to FL 8/28 -...

    How much more intense than Expedition Everest is Rock n' Roller Coaster?

    Everest is more likely to turn your stomach than RnRC. My sister is very prone to motion sickness but is able to ride RnRC repeatedly. To put it in perspective, she get sick on both Everest and ToT.

    Everything you need to know about MagicBands.

    Hi - the day our magic bands shipped we added the dining plan to our room, changing it from a room only reservation to a package. Now in the My Disney Experience app there's still the option to order magic bands. I can just have them change the ones that shipped already, right? My hubby is...

    August 2016 - Lets Plan Together Starting Now!!!

    Hi all - what a whirlwind week we've had. DH booked us through a travel agent into the Swan back in February and we were locked into at least the ticket portion so we missed free dining. Then, when the bounceback offer popped up this week he told me he'd book it, and I politely explained that...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    Woohoo! We had booked the Swan for our upcoming trip at the end of this month because we got a great deal with a warehouse travel co, but it just didn't feel right to me. Yesterday DH started asking about next year's bounceback and I told him we weren't eligible at the Swan, which led to him...

    Weird Bounceback question

    Here's a strange question that I hope someone here can help with. We're going to be at the Swan at the end of August/beginning of September, and plan to go again next year to a regular Disney owned resort. With the bounceback package for 2017 we are considering making a one night room only...

    Where to eat in Disney Springs?

    Hi all - we're currently planning our first big trip in 5 years (!!) and this is the first time in a decade without having the dining plan so we're trying to balance the budget with the wishes. We are doing things like the Star Wars Dessert Party, Be Our Guest dinner, and a dinner at San Angel...

    Conquering ride fears, one at a time! Advice?

    I'm going to disagree with all the Mission Space love here - it is really intense. It can mess you up with your equilibrium for hours...even my thrill ride loving husband had a bad reaction to it last time. Rock n Roller Coaster is what I would start with. My extremely motion sickness prone...

    Official 2014 MNSSHP Guest List (and discussion) Thread

    Yay - so excited! My DH surprised me tonight with tickets to the party - we're driving from NJ to Miami to go on a cruise, and my son is flying with my sister to save a couple days at school. DH thought MNSSHP would ease the pain of having to drive with him, lol. vllygrrl - 2, DH - Sully...

    Should I upgrade to the Deluxe Dining Plan?

    We chose to upgrade to DxDDP on our next trip. This allows us to have one "fun" meal a day for our son, and one nice meal for us. I agree with other posters that recommend against scheduling 3 TS meals per day. We tend to schedule either breakfast and an early signature dinner, or an early...

    ADR help-never eaten here. Are they good choices?

    Hi. You have 3 TS credits to use, over 3 nights, but you've booked 2 meals at DHS on the same day? I would definitely cancel Hollywood and Vine. Everytime we've had dinner there it's been awful. There are much better uses of your credits...have you looked at any of the resort restaurants...

    Weird Flying Fish Reservation Problem?

    I had printed out my confirmations last month. When I was checking online today, my normal Flying Fish ressie is now showing up as the Chef's Tasting Wine dinner! The confirmation number is the same. Has anyone else noticed a problem with their Flying Fish reservation? I'm going to call in...

    Last day suggestion . . .

    Another idea for you might be to book the Wishes Dessert Party. It'll give you a nice place to be together on the last night, and there's nothing more special to me at WDW than those fireworks!:goodvibes

    Which signature?

    California Grill would be my hands down choice with your children. There is steak available, and the view of the Magic Kingdom is spectacular. We have eaten at all of the signatures but Citricos and Le Cellier (we have ADR's in August), and Cali Grill consistently ranks near the top of our...
