    Best Place for CS at HS on DDP

    Starring Rolls Bakery and Fairfax Fare are the places where you can get the most for your money. At Starring Rolls the sandwiches are big and any of the baked goods can be used as your dessert. Fairfax Fare has the chicken and spare ribs combo (or separate) which are both big enough to split.

    HDDR and eating healthy

    I would let them know in advance. I had a veg in my party in June and they called her the day before and gave 3 or 4 options for alternatives and her portion was HUGE! She chose the veggie and pasta option, but they gave her more choices than that. The chef came by before just to double check...

    QS in Parks - pick up gelato later?

    As far as I know, you must get your dessert when you order your food at the parks. I work at a CS restaurant and that's our rule, but we don't have anything that melts :). The computer takes care of everything and the dessert is part of that swipe, so there is no way for us to track if you got...

    Showing up early for 'Ohana ressie...

    I've shown up that much earlier for a reservation at Ohana, but it was later in the evening. Its worth a shot, though!

    single rider lines??

    SRL lines were the most frustrating part about my trip to DLR. I truly appreciate their existence, especially since I was traveling alone, but on several attractions you have to go in and out of an elevator, sometimes twice, and no one took into account who was in line first. Especially on...

    MNSSHP and MVMCP: What Exactly Are They?

    Both parties are excellent! The short lines are a huge part of the reason that people go, but they are both so festive too! The character meets are great (Tarzan and Jane are usually out at Halloween, the Princes are out with the Princesses at both parties), there are great themed fireworks, and...

    World of Color Superthread

    I called to make a WOC dinner package reservation a few weeks ago and asked which would be the easiest show to get a reservation for a month out and the CM quickly answered "Later Sunday." So that's what I went with :). He was one of the most helpful CMs I've ever talked to, so whatever he said...

    DLR Character Hunting!

    I cannot wait to check for Mulan and Mushu! He is one of my favorites and he's never out at WDW anymore.

    DLR Character Hunting!

    Those are all awesome! I think Aviator Minnie Mouse is essential to my life!! That mouse has more outfits than I could ever dream of!! I'm especially jealous about Francis, Tuck and Roll!! My friend had heard of awesome characters being out that weekend, but no one had heard of that weekend...

    DLR Character Hunting!

    Hi! I'm planning my first DLR trip and I couldn't be more excited!! I'm a WDW veteran and one of my favorite things to do is go character hunting. Does anyone have suggestions for great places to see characters besides the places they are advertised? I know this won't be the focus of my trip...

    Star Tours!!

    I actually did the ride at WDW this weekend and LOVED it!! (It was a soft open and they allowed anyone in that was there on, but asked that there be no photography or videotaping.) I did not think it was any more jarring or rough than the original, if anything I thought it was smoother. It could...

    Best value resort for my trip?

    I personally enjoy Movies and Pop. Their layout is pretty similar, but I think I like the theming at Movies better (I love that Sorcerer Mickey is at the pool!). I've stayed at both solo and felt safe and comfortable. I feel like when I've stayed at Music I've had to walk SO FAR to get to the...

    New Year's Eve ?

    I loved my NYE at DHS this year! They handed out the hats and noise makers also. Mulch, Sweat, and Shears (their house rock band) provided the soundtrack for the fireworks behind the Hat. And the Osborne lights are still running. They actually start a little after midnight because the EPCOT...

    Friend doesn't wanna do HDDR....

    Not gonna lie, the show is the main attraction, but that doesn't mean that the food isn't great! Yes, it is served in tin buckets, but it is just part of the theming. If your group likes fried chicken and ribs, you can't go wrong with the Hoop Dee Doo! And, if you are so inclined, there is...

    If we love Ohanas then we would love???

    Ohana is my favorite restaurant on property too! I also love Whispering Canyon (similar atmosphere and family style), Kona (any time of day), Teppan Edo, and Sanaa. I recently discover Sanaa and loved it! The tandoori chicken is wonderful and reminds me of the food at Ohana. And you can watch...

    Anyone moved from Midwest to Florida??

    Ha. I definitely am a lurker, your post just hit really close to home. :) I live in Okeechobee. I didn't have much choice because I moved here for work. In addition, its in the middle of nowhere, so the commute from other cities just wasn't worth it. I wish retirement communities were an...

    Mom just bailed... who wants to help?

    AP holders often have good deals on Disney resorts. if you're looking at ways to cut corners, you could always take the park hoppers off the tickets (not that I would...just a thought) or you could take days off of your tickets. I know after the first couple days I usually want a little break...
