    Bad Trip

    It stinks that something that makes you happy didn't make your family happy. Maybe a different sort of trip would fit your family needs better. My inlaws take a trip together each year. I'd love to add WDW to the list of places we go, but I know that would not go well. They are 'sit on the...

    Lost banking option from cancelled reservation?

    Thanks for the reply! UY is April. Did not borrow points for Sept. trip. The 34 points were April 2014-April 2015 points (hadn't been previously banked or borrowed). I called MS and they said they just needed to reallocate the points. A minute later everything was as it should be. Lesson...

    Lost banking option from cancelled reservation?

    Banked 104 points and will be taking a trip that is 119 points in May. I just cancelled a trip in September that was 34 points. I'm now showing that I have 101 bankable points and 34 must be used by the end of this use year. I would have thought that all 104 banked points were used to book...

    TouringPlans.com - worth it?

    I agree- an app that relies only on other users posting times is not very helpful. Thankfully, TP does not rely on that. With as many users as they now have, they can use it as a tool... But they have historical data (which is helpful, just not as helpful as it was before FPP) and researchers in...

    TouringPlans.com - worth it?

    They are associated with the book: The Unofficial Guide to WDW. I've read that book cover-to-cover more than once! I find it and the app very, very helpful. It's what, $10? I'd gladly pay three times that amount (and it would still be the best value, considering what I spend at WDW for unplanned...

    How to ask to Prom at WDW?

    It wouldn't bother me at all if he were on a G-RATED chat board called, "how to show your wife you love her" and he asked for ideas or recipes of how to make breakfast in bed even more special. I mean, wow- I'd celebrate the thoughtfulness of doing the research! I know I often look up things on...

    How to ask to Prom at WDW?

    When it was time to tell my parents we was expecting, I could have gone to their house and said, "mom and dad, I'm pregnant". Instead, brought Chinese food and replaced the fortune cookies with customized fortunes that said, "someone very close to you is expecting a baby in August". It's a...

    How to ask to Prom at WDW?

    It doesn't seem to me like she's demanding anything. It sounds like she thought it would be fun to do something a little different than simply asking. To me this seems similar to the random Saturday "breakfast in bed" that my DH treats me to or the random special notes I sneak into his lunch...

    How to ask to Prom at WDW?

    How cute! I say why not let the kids have fun with it? Not necessary, but why not add a little fun into things? I'd rather my kids thinking about unique things like this, than how they could get into trouble... I wonder if she could get the step-sisters involved? They meet in FL during the day...

    Disney: It's all about the details with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

    Would you say it's safe to assume that pregnant ladies will not be able to ride?

    Does Harmony always book up so fast?

    I think that's odd too... I get the feeling that they purposefully under book-- especially with the way they treated us (and the walk-ins) like it was no problem at all (unlike at the restaurants where it's a huge deal or impossible to walk-in). The lady on the phone told me that they do NOT...

    Does Harmony always book up so fast?

    Keep calling and trying. I ran into a similar problem for DS's first haircut. It was a last minute trip, though so I called everyday for about three weeks. Finally while we were on the ME they had an opening at 2pm! (People tend to cancel at the 24 hour mark as they are given an email reminding...

    Customized Mouse Ears: MS or DTD?

    I'm with you, 100%. I would hate to spend an hour of our Rope Drop morning with a toddler who can't choose between the sparkly Minnie or the sparkly Tinkerbell! ;) But her mom (my SIL) went to the Chapeau back when they did the build-you-own ears... and I think she's hoping for that kind of...

    Customized Mouse Ears: MS or DTD?

    Ah! You're right... looks like you can't build your own ears anymore... I guess I didn't notice that since I was on a mission to get the "original" ears for my DS. Is it, then, safe to assume that you can get the same options at the Chapeau on MS and the little area (near Design-a-tee) at...

    Customized Mouse Ears: MS or DTD?

    We want to get some Mouse Ears for our young travel companion for our day at MK. We'd like to let her choose exactly what she wants. The easiest thing would be to go to DTD on arrival day, that way she'll have her ears all day at MK (and we don't have to take time out of our touring to get...

    Most Respectful DVC Homeowners

    I'm not sure I agree with the wealthy entitlement posts. I've found that wealthy people who are used to nice accommodations are very respectful (with a few, loud exceptions at times). There's another attitude that I've seen: 'I saved five years for this, I'll do what I want'. (Obviously not...

    Booking sites but not staying in them.

    Yeah, you're right... it's probably not really feasible... I just know this debate isn't getting us anywhere. In the pages and pages of debate it's just people calling the other side wrong... no one has said, "hey, that's a great point, I've changed my mind". And these types of threads seem to...

    Booking sites but not staying in them.

    I used to be pretty active on this board, but we haven't been back to WDW in quite a while... Then we went back with our toddler and bought dvc... So I might not be camping for a while. (Not sure I can tackle camping with a toddler... and a baby on the way!). Anyway, bc our WDW style has...

    Be Our Guest Faspass +

    I tried my resort reservation (both of them- split stay)... and cant seem to figure out what I'm supposed to do on the MB page to find the #? We are driving so no ME tags... anywhere else I can find my special number? (Going the beginning of May). TIA!

    Throwaway room (read post #2041 or #2710 before posting)

    Another thought: could someone post that they are looking to get FP+ for a family of 5 on the camping board... Then someone that will be there that week (with a family of 5 or less) agree to add them to the campsite? With non charging privileges? Probably not- I'm sure y'all will know of why...
