    Help! Which phone number?

    I am a former college program participant. I am now graduated and I'm applying for jobs. Most potential employers ask for the name of my supervisor at Disney and for a contact number. The problem is I worked in a bunch of different stores and had a bunch or different leaders, none of which I...

    OMG! Hit by Flying Debris During Illuminations!

    It's happened to me too. We were standing in Norway and there was a lot of falling ash. Nothing big or still hot though, I'm sure that's not as common. It was a windy night.

    Do you HAVE to book Mears shuttle in advance?

    So my sister and I don't really know our plans when we arrive at MCO next week. We have a late flight arriving at 9PM and we are either we going to Universal or going straight to our hotel. We would like to just decide when we get there. Problem is, if we go straight to the hotel I want to use...

    Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex

    There is not always something going on there, but if you like to watch sports, it might be worth a visit. You can go the WWoS website here:http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/find/ to find events that might coincide with your vacation. There are marathon events and fitness expos periodically...

    The BEST thing I ever ate @ WDW was....

    It's a tie between the Sticky Toffee Pudding from Rose & Crown and the Ribeye steak from Le Cellier. I've also absolutely loved every cheese plate I've tried (including from Food & Wine fest).

    DTD hotels with fireworks views?

    Also, just because you can't go to the parks doesn't mean you can't visit the resorts. You could always have dinner at the Polynesian and then watch the fireworks from the beach there.

    DTD hotels with fireworks views?

    I've stayed in a fireworks view room at the DTD Wyndham (on Hotel Plaza Blvd.). Pretty far away but still a nice view. The Hilton across the street might also have them.

    My Garden View Tea Room (Grand Floridian) Experience

    When I went to the tea room a couple of years ago, I could of sworn they had an a la carte menu so you could just order single items. Maybe I'm remembering wrong. Was there a change to the menu? Either way, I'm sorry the rude service ruined your experience.

    The Wave or Grand Floridian Cafe for breakfast?

    So disclaimer: I haven't actually been to the Wave. I have read several dining reviews of it though, and I just love Grand Floridian Cafe. The atmosphere and themeing at GFC seems to be better. The Wave seems dark, with that grey modern feel, while the GFC is much brighter. It's so elegant, yet...

    Hotels within walking distance

    Just across the street from one of Universal's entrances, there is a Fairfield Inn and a Holiday Inn Express. I think the address is 5614 Vineland Rd. I've stayed at that Fairfield before and it is very clean and comfortable and they provide a very good complimentary breakfast. These hotels are...

    Should I wait? Will flights get cheaper?

    Yeah I think I might just go ahead and purchase. I just figured since jetblue shows the number of seats left- and there are only a handful left on each flight-that they would create new (possibly cheaper) flights when those fill up. Unfortunately I really can't budge on the dates due to...

    Should I wait? Will flights get cheaper?

    Any air travel experts out there? I will be flying down from Connecticut Oct. 11 and leaving Oct. 15. I'm trying to get an early flight into orlando so we don't lose the whole day, and then a late flight out when we leave. Right now, the cheapest flight I can find is $454 (round trip) with...

    Honey I shrunk the audience??

    This makes me really sad. I love all the 3D rides like HISTA and It's Tough to be a Bug and the Muppet one. Hopefully they replace it with something similar...maybe based on a more recent film. Those virtual reality type rides like Star Tours are not so fun when you get bad motion sickness like...

    Experiences with Merchandise?

    I think I've read about people picking up extra shifts...how does that work? If you are in the merch role can you pick up a shift in any park or only the one you're assigned to?

    Safe in dorm?

    I think she will probably be one of the only people to bring a safe. However, I think it's a good idea. My school had a big problem with theft. There was more than one major robbery and I heard stories about roommates or roomies friends stealing stuff. Even though I never got anything stolen it...

    Housing Costs

    Can anyone provide me with a list of the prices for the different complexes and the prices for different numbers of bedrooms? I know it's like 80 to 108 dollars but what are the prices specifically? Thanks!

    Driving in Orlando?

    Right. I know the locals must know SOME back way to beat the insane Disney traffic. Every town has a secret route ;) Also, I think any new town or city is going to be uncomfortable to drive in at first. When I moved to a city for college it took me like my entire freshman year to get used to...

    Entertainment Show Production PDS

    My major is TV Production. Not exactly the same but producing a TV show has all the same steps as a theater show, just a different way of presenting it. I'm guessing I'd still be in the third tier though. I'm just wondering how hands on it is. If I'm just going to be sitting in a class hearing...

    College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

    Do I get a discount if I want to purchase tickets for extra people or if I can't be there to accompany them? Thanks!

    College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

    Back with more... Are the beds in the apartments twin or extra long twin? How do the discounts on park tickets work? I read on another site that you can sign in up to 3 people, up to 12 times a year. And obviously you would have to be with them. But the post was old so idk if that's still...
