    Character Breakfast Question

    We have recently booked a 4-night cruise along with 4 other families. One family is a Gold Member and two are Silver. One of our first-time cruise families really wants to get their daughter tickets to the Princess Meet and Greet and the Frozen Character Breakfast. If one of our Gold or Silver...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We are just back from our first CBR stay. We are a family of 5 (kids 12,8,6). We had a room in Jamaica. It was plenty big and had lots of storage. For us, it worked great. It was the first bus stop for pickup on the way to the parks and the first one to drop off on the way back. The bus...

    Disney Springs worth it for kids?

    We were there is last week with a small group (kids are 12,9,8,6,5). I haven't been there is 4 years. While the kids like the candy store, World of Disney, Lego Store, etc., the bus situation for those staying on-site kind of stinks. You used to be able to get a bus not far from the Disney...

    Pop or Caribbean Beach? Horrific reviews and freaking me out

    Just back from CBR. We had a room in Jamaica. I wouldn't say the room was immaculate but it was fine for us. I always bring Lysol wipes and did need to do a quick cleaning. The TV remote and phone were disgusting. Some of the furnishings (tops of headboards/tops of dresser handles) had a bit of...

    Magic Band mailing wackiness

    There was some kind of mixup with our reservations for a split stay starting on 1/21. We received one set of bands a few weeks ago but the second never arrived. I called on Saturday evening and they had me quickly pick the band colors and told me the bands could ship at any moment. When I went...

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    We received a booklet in the mail yesterday that contained vouchers for mini golf, Wide World of Sports and other discounts with a discount card. I think maybe the booklet would have contained luggage tags too for Magical Express but we didn't need the tags since we will be claiming our...

    Not a split stay. We both did add on an extra night stay to the end of a package but they were linked to the original reservation. I wouldn't think that we would use the same bands?

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    We are going with another family - same dates 1/21-1/28. We both got the old style in the mail in Saturday and then the other family got a second shipment on Tuesday with the new style (giving them two sets). We didn't get a second set. I guess we will just wait and see if we get them too.

    Mr Potato Head at Once Upon a Toy

    We were there last week and it was $19.99 to fill a box with the parts. There was also a big plastic potato that you could fill but I don't know the cost on that. Just a few things about it. Make sure you get the arms. Most of the components that attach to the arms only fit with those...

    Almond milk available anywhere?

    Our little boy has a milk/soy intolerance. I noted it on my reservations for sit down meals. Almost every restaurant had either Almond or Rice milk. If you email the special diets department, they will send you a list of all the locations that each product is available. Just a thought also, we...

    Ashley Furniture Durablend

    I am with you... Never again! We have two sofas, chair and ottoman. Sofa seat cushions are falling apart after 2 years. We had to purchase a cover for the one couch because it looks so bad. We tried to get them replaced but were told they don't make the fabric/pattern anymore. Argh!
