    Fall discounts

    Hey all. I am returning to the DIS boards after about a 16 year absence. Me and the Mrs. are trying to plan a trip for our 30 year wedding anniversary (we went for our honeymoon so we figured it's fitting to go back for this occasion). I have to get back up to speed on on my WDW tips and tricks...

    Would it pay to buy the AP?

    When making the decision to buy the AP are you garaunteed to get the rate (if one is already out) or do they limit the rate to a certain number of rooms. In other words, if an AP rate comes out and I decide the savings would be worth it for my circumstances can I buy the AP knowing that I will...

    Swan & Dolphin Sold out 2/5 & 2/6

    I just called to ask about the entertainment rate for 2-3 thru 2-7 and was told that the 5th and 6th were completely sold out. I asked why and she did not not know, said maybe it was a convention. This is for both the Swan and Dolphin. Does anyone know what is going on?

    Attn: North Carolina residents or ex residents... need opinions.

    I hear you. FL for us though seems like it would be too much of a change in weather. We both want some seasonal changes and the weather in NC just seems to fit our ideal. I am currently in a job that just doesn't keep up with the Cost of Living and I cannot even afford to do many of the things...

    Attn: North Carolina residents or ex residents... need opinions.

    I am currently working as a PCB manufacturing engineer in the medical electronics industry and will continue to work in that field if I need to but I was hoping to find something in the Information Technology field by way of a career change. My wife would also work (part time) and is in the...

    Attn: North Carolina residents or ex residents... need opinions.

    We live in Beverly, MA just North of Boston if your not familiar and are seriously considering moving to the Raleigh area. What prompted you to go? I am getting a bit overwhelmed just trying to figure out how to do it. Do you try and find a job first then sell the house and try and find one...

    North Carolina Opinions

    Thank you both saucymb, Thanks for the heads up about the schools. We do have a 13 year old son who is currently in public school and does well. The Public schools in my town leave a lot to be desired as well but I don't get too uptight about that. He is in accelerated classes and the work...

    North Carolina Opinions

    Hi folks, My wife and I are very seriously looking into relocating from the Boston Massachusetts area to North Carolina. We are considering the Raleigh/ Durham area mostly for the job outlook there and the fact that its only a couple or so hours from the coast. We have never been there but have...

    Someone in Disney or going can you do me a favor

    I read somewhere that all the food vendors including the food carts took credit cards so if you have a debit card why not use that and not worry about cash at all.

    Another "how do you take pics" thread...

    You can get an extra CF card easily at Walmart. I believe there is one very close to WDW. But as many have stated you may want to just purchase one before you go. If you are afraid that if you don't use it on your trip you'll have wasted the money just keep it in its original package and save...

    Another "how do you take pics" thread...

    Memory cards are cheap especially if you deduct the cost of what you would have spent on film. You could get about as many pictures as 28 rolls on a 512MB card. 28 Rolls * 36 = 1008 pics 512MB card could hold 1000 500K pictures. A 1GB 2X as much. A 1GB card costs about $100.00

    OVERWHELMED & needing suggestions; leaving in 4 days

    Just try and know which parks you are going to on what day and try and make a list of the rides you must do (need vs. want). Use the unofficial guide and the internet to determine which parks have EMH and either take advantage of it or avoid that park on that day as there is a tendency for the...

    Spectromagic viewing location.

    The only advice I can give iis if there is a night when they are showing it twice, go to the second one and go to Frontier Land. We did this in October and there was just no one there. We got there early and it ended up we didn't even have to. If its just one parade (as it usually is) I would...

    Photographers in the Parks?

    You cannot enter a WDW park without seeing several Photographers waiting to take your photo.

    Safe to buy from Ticket Mania?

    Don't worry they are very reputable. We used them last October with no problems and many, many other folks here have. MouseSavers often has special deals with them for Newletter subscribers.

    Restaurant for Wishes?

    They do have an observation deck and you don't need ressies at the restaurant to use it. You can see the castle and it is a nice place to view Wishes from. I agree!!

    November E-Nights?

    I went in 1999 and they had them then ( I think they just introduced them. I am surprised that they don't (according to the other posters) because I thought they had more opportunity to have them during a time when the parks normally close early. Oh well.
