    Split stay - thoughts

    1- The only pain for us is having to pack up the night before the move. I hate packing and having to pack mid-vacation is not my idea of fun. 2- moving is simple! Bell services will transport your luggage to your new resort for you. We drop them off in the morning, head to a park, then take a...

    50s Prime Time Cafe?

    50s is a must do for every trip for us! Always good food, we've always had excellent service, and it's so different than anything else we have at home. We love it!

    Question about Charging to the Room

    We always use all of our gift cards the night before checkout to pay the balance on the room. That way, we can charge using our Magicbands and don't have to carry 10+ gift cards to the park with us. It's very simple and only takes a few minutes of your time.

    Interior Corridors?

    Not just the balconies, but there's something to be said for stepping outside your room and into an air-conditioned hallway as opposed to the muggy humidity- especially true for us summertime travelers.

    Having a 3 year old's birthday during a split stay question

    Thanks everyone! We called tonight to make the 2nd reservation (room only since we have APs). We told the agent on the phone our situation and she told us that she was going to go ahead and put her down as being 2 since that's what she was for the other room. So I guess we're good to go! I...

    Having a 3 year old's birthday during a split stay question

    Hey all! So I know that if I have a 2 year old that turns 3 during our trip, she's considered 2 for the entire trip, but does that go for split stays as well? We originally were going to stay a week with my DD having her 3rd birthday right in the middle of the trip. We are now thinking of...

    Going from Animal Kingdom to Ohanas

    Simple- take a bus from Animal Kingdom directly to the Polynesian.

    DME timing back to the airport

    We just returned a few weeks ago and it was definitely 3 hours before our flight. I have no doubt that you were told 2 hours, but you were told wrong. And to reiterate what other posters have said: the time is non-negotiable. I listened to a very frustrated guest and helpful (yet overwhelmed)...

    Odds of being upgraded

    9/1- but that one was a doozy! We were moved from POP to AKL for New Years Eve due to overbooking!

    Ney Years Day?

    We went to MK on Nee Years Day last year. We got there at ripe drop and Fantasyland was dead for the first two hours that the park was open. It got pretty crowded after that- but the late arriving crowd allowed us to get a lot done before the masses arrived.

    Getting from AK (EMH) to Epcot or HS

    Once the parade is over (starts at 3:45) the crowds at AK tend to disappear rather quickly. The last two hours of operation are an excellent time to so headliners there- we've enjoyed EE with no waits during the last 30 minutes of the day several times.

    New mugs cant be microwaved

    I'm wondering if they can't be microwaved ONLY while at Disney due to the RFID chip. You zap the chip, the mug won't work. Once you get home, damaging the chip doesn't really matter, so it might be fine.

    DVC with DDP

    Correct. To get "free" dining, you have to pay rack rate for your room (cash).

    Can I get a picture with Dopey? Sentimental Reason

    When are you going? To my knowledge, the only time he is available is during the Halloween parties.

    Fast pass blues

    I'll be the first of many to tell you that they have been enforcing FP return times for quite some time now. I'm sorry that you were disappointed in the way the situation was handled, but in this case, rules are rules.

    We always leave ours in the safe and have never had a problem.
