    Need advice - Autistic son lost favorite Star Wars hat at Disney

    Oh man, I am so sorry! I have an Aspie who has those same ears (but his ears don't have the cool sound effects) that he wears EVERY SINGLE YEAR. His is the old style with the fabric hat and sewn-on buttons (not the newer vinyl hats with stick-out buttons). I do not know what I would do if...

    what do you carry with you in the parks?

    I have one of these that my mom bought each of us (herself, me and my sister) for our first trip to Disney: http://ful.com/details.cfm?name=Peabody I have used that sucker ever since (this November will be trip #5)! I have three kiddos. Even when my littlest was a baby, I'd carry this...

    Considering off property

    We are doing the same thing this year - staying off property so that we can continue our yearly tradition of coming to Disney. However, there are some differences: 1. This is our 5th year going. We've done all the character meals, we've stayed on property both in regular rooms and in...

    Anything Special for Bday?

    Thanks for the added info. When I had talked to a rep from the cake line last year, they told me the slipper desserts were available everywhere and to just ask at check-in. :crazy2: Glad to know this is not the case, as I likely would have depended on that at some point! :) As for the...

    Fantasmic! dining packate + TiW?

    Just booked a Fantasmic! dining package at Mama Melrose's in December. We're not on the dining plan but will be using an AP/TiW card. I understand the meal is prix fixe - even so, can we apply the TiW discount towards our meal?

    Sheraton Vistana Villages - Your reviews, tips & ratings

    @Bankr63 - thank you SO much for your helpful info! For some reason, when I came back here after I'd posted to look for a response, it didn't show any updates. Odd. :worried: I love the idea about taking a photo of your car/section/row. While I do not drive a GM vehicle (I pilot the Death...

    Character meals and memory maker question

    This was our experience with Akershus and 1900 PF, as well as CRT last September. I had the PP+ - we were given both the hard copies at the table and the photos were added to the PP+. (Never eaten at Tusker House, so can't speak to that). I just assumed the MM replaced the PP+, is this...

    Let's discuss meeting the characters and what have been your favorite experiences.

    Who was your favorite overall that you met? The mayor and his wife - the couple that occasionally makes an appearance walking around Disney's Main Street. They are so neat! Anything specific that made that meeting special? They stood and talked with my kids for quite some time, answering...

    Anything Special for Bday?

    Yep, it's hit or miss. One year we were at the park on my dad's 64th birthday (yes, we sang "When I'm Sixty-Four" to him ad nauseum) and our waitress brought him a cupcake with a candle in it at our 1900 PF breakfast. :bitelip: We'd not said anything at the restaurant; rather, when I booked...

    Is Whispering Canyon Cafe worth it?

    If you like the sort of thing WCC is famous for (wait staff playfully giving you a hard time about finishing your lunch, funny-smart alec responses to things like needing silverware or ketchup, etc.), then this would be a fun place to go. :goodvibes We love the WL but we had a sort of iffy...

    'Ohana Difficulties

    ^^Should have said, "nearly impossible to get ADRs at LeCellier, CRT, BoG with our party of 7". Everything else is do-able...but I just went and saw that I got a wider range of times at less popular places when inputting 8 people. ;)

    'Ohana Difficulties

    This is SO helpful to know! I came to read this post with a similar issue - it is nearly impossible for me (even at 6am on day 180) to get ADRs for my party of 7. Perhaps I'll try 8 and see if that makes a difference (not that going from "big party" to "huge party" will be all helpful...)...

    my last comments about magic bands

    My thoughts, exactly. Except for the being a man part. I am a woman who believes in the storage capacity of the cargo pant. :rotfl:

    Sheraton Vistana Villas - shuttle question

    We're staying at SVV early December. Driving to FL, so will have our car and plan to drive to the parks each day (will have free parking with my AP). Additionally, we'd planned to make us of the shuttle to/from the parks, as my little one still takes naps and my parents/sister may not always...

    The Wave, Captains Grille, GF Cafe, Coral Reef, or La Hacienda

    Hm. That's a tough one. I've only been to the Wave and Coral Reef and both were good IMHO. Coral Reef wins if you like seafood and the Wave wins if you like more organic, farm-to-table type fare. I can't speak for the others. Okay, if I were going to dinner with you and I had to make...

    Should i feel gulity???

    Do what you like to do - it's just you, so I wouldn't worry about it and I certainly wouldn't feel guilty! :) Think of it this way: you can afford to go to Tahiti, but would you enjoy it as much? If the answer is yes, go. If the answer is no, then book that Disney trip and have a...

    Matching Shirts

    Nope. Not weird. :goodvibes Nobody's going to give you a second look. As for us, one day out of each WDW trip, I force my poor dh to don a matching or themed shirt to go with the rest of us and we take our Christmas card photo. Our first year, we all wore our "Don't Mess with...

    If you could only eat 5 dinners, where would you eat?

    Turf Club Les Chefs de France The Wave Coral Reef I could only think of 4 must-do 1 TS with no characters. My other absolute favorite is Artist Point; however, that's 2 TS credits. :)
