    Have you been to MNSSHP?

    We haven't, but we'll be attending the first one this year on 9/13! We're very excited, but were wondering about the candy. Do we bring our own bags for Trick or Treating? Do you have to use bags sold in the park? Any tips to enjoy this event to the fullest? Thanks for your tips and...

    What do you think about this September?

    Hi All, My DH and I have gone down to WDW several times in September and love, love, love the minimal crowds! We are heading down in a few weeks (9/10-9/15) :cool1: and I have a feeling crowds might be heavier. I understand Free Dining is happening when we are there, but I'm hoping the...

    Calling all POFQ Experts!

    Hi there - DH and I are staying at POFQ for the first time in September and plan on using the pool at POR one or some of the days. Can someone recommend the building best situated to take the walk over to POR? I know POFQ is quite small and there is no "bad" location, but I assume there is...

    Thoughts & Buses after Hoopdee Do Review

    Hi All - MY DH and I are thinking of attending HDR on our trip in Sept. He's never been, and I went when I was a little kid, but don't remember much. I have a few questions: 1) Are buses provided after the HDR/WL to each resort directly or will we have to go back to a park or the TTC to...

    All Star Movies

    I would love to hear any feedback you have about ASM. We have never stayed at the values before, and am thinking about booking All Star Movies for a surprise trip for my DH, who is a total film buff. I am reading reviews online, and most seem quite negative. I'd love to get reviews from...

    How to rent points?

    I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some kind of document that is somewhere on this incredible resource regarding renting DVC points for our possible Date Removed trip. I have no idea how to go about finding out availability, or...

    Which Water Park?

    We usually go to TL but went to BB last trip and really regretted it. I think my DH and I are in the minority on this one, but the theming and vibe there just was not as fun to us. I also like the slides better at TL. We'll never go back to BB...it just wasn't "Disney" to us (maybe b/c TL is...

    Why does everyone hate sci fi?

    Sci-Fi is our favorite place to eat at WDW. A must do for every trip. The atmosphere is quite unique and fun. Give it a try!

    Got back a few days ago...

    and have the post-Disney Blues!! My DH and I miss being at WDW so much but feel incredibly lucky that we got to go and had such a magical time! We went to celebrate both our birthdays, our 2nd anniversary, and my graduation from Graduate school. It was a FABULOUS trip!!! A quick rundown...

    Best place for Caricatures?

    This is a great idea and keepsake. DH and I have been doing it on our last 3 trips together (one was our honeymoon as well!). I have noticed artists doing characatures outside Ye Old Christmas Shoppe in MK, and even in some resorts. We usually get ours done in DHS in a little station set up...

    How is Crystal Palace for dinner?

    We ate dinner at CP last week and did not love it. Like other posters have said, everyone has different tastes, likes, and dislikes, but for us, the quality and taste of the food was not up to par. I thought the choices for desserts were quite limited and not very good. That being said...

    does anyone dislike the AKL theming?

    I am not a fan of AKL theming at all. To me, it's just not "Disney" at all. Good thing there are so many resorts to choose from though! That's the great thing about WDW!:goodvibes

    POR room Photos do not impress me

    OP, I agree with you. We actually just returned home from our stay at POR yesterday (Mansion section). I was very worried about the rooms beforehand. The rooms are a bit lackluster and beat up, but the resort as a whole completely makes up for it (in my opinion). For us, we spend very little...

    I think I know the answer to this...

    but since we are leaving tomorrow, I thought I'd double check. We are on the Basic Dining Plan (1 TS, 1 CS, and 1 Snack per day). We EACH have to order a meal at TS place and cannot split one, correct? Either way is fine, I'm just not a huge eater and thought I'd check. Thanks for your...

    Rope Drop First Timer

    Hi All- My DH and I will be heading down to WDW next week (can't wait :cool1:) and we are planning on getting to some of the parks for rope drop for the first time ever. We are staying at POR. My question is, how far before park opening should we leave the resort to get there for rope drop...

    need swimsuit ASAP....

    Another vote for Lands End! I get all my bathing suits from them. The are great quality. They also have tons of styles and materials that are flattering for all body shapes. If you get a tankini (or bikini) you can get a different size top and bottom which is also a great help. Happy...

    How do you help spread the magic?

    If we have fastpasses that we aren't using, or extra ones that we didn't use from earlier in the day but are still good, we always try to find a family/couple/group that is waiting in line to give them to. I know this isn't earth-shattering, but it's a little way to brighten someone's day and...

    Trip planners: Ever feel unappreciated?

    OP, I'm sorry you are dealing with this and feeling the way you are. I have been in similar situations in the past, and these kind of reactions/lack of engagement from others/teasing, can really start to hurt your feelings when you are just trying to create the best possible experience for...
