    Feb. in the WDW vets......

    Hi there! We were also there the first week of February this past year, and it was downright cold at times. Not to let that scare you, but so that you'll be prepared. We actually had frost two nights of our trip (of course it was 80 the previous week AND the week after - GAH!). You really...

    Anyone come back from WDW in the last 3 months and NOT get sick?

    We got back on the 30th... my friend got a bladder infection, but I think that's because she never drinks anything but liquified sugar. :) We are otherwise all healthy and good. We did need Pepto from overeating though!!

    Mods Please Delete

    You know... I totally agree with this. My coworker and I were just arguing the other day about how I think having written language skills (and decent handwriting) are so important in education, and she disagreed, stating that technology trumps everything. It may seem off topic, except that I...

    Anybody want to comment on Food & Wine this year?

    I was there Sept 25-30th, being in Epcot most of the day Saturday the 26th, the evening of the 28th and opening to about 4:30pm on Tuesday the 29th. It was the first time I'd been there during the F&WF, actually for all of us (5 adults) and we had a fantastic time. Obviously, I can't compare...

    Concerns about Kali River

    We just rode this on Sept 26th... and every last one of us (5 adults, spread out over a whole "raft) got completely, unbelievably soaked. So we just rode it again! Once you're completely drenched, it's just a good time.... and, hilariously, a cautionary tale for everyone who sees you in the...

    Dollar discounts???

    I just did Dollar from MCO, and by FAR the best rate I got from them was by using their own "city special" --- simply request the time and location of your rental, and hopefully there will be a "City Specials" box somewhere below Compact, above MidSized.... click that, and it will show you...

    Is there a Swarvokski Crystals somewhere in WDW?

    There's a crystal purveyor across from POTC @ MK and also one near the water at either Germany or Italy @ WS... I can't quite remember which, but it's def one of those... :rotfl2: I know they both carried some Swarvokski items....

    Saturday night at Epcot during Food and Wine festival

    I was there on the 26th - the first Saturday of the F&WF, and it was paaaahhhaaaaacked. Lines for TT and Soarin' were 60-90 minutes, although when we got there around noonish, there were still FPs available for early evening. We grabbed those and headed to WS, which was VERY busy. The lines...

    It's a dream - Disney Restaurant iPhone App

    HA! I had a feeling that some might look only at that point and not even bother with my question... or to the overall point of why is it so hard to cancel a reservation (which I did do btw using the WDW DINE number). A) I had no double bookings, at least no two for the same time, or even...

    Best snack in Animal Kingdom

    OMG! My favoritest snack of all TIME is in AK... they used to have them in MK, but no more.... there are carts about, and in them hold the wonder of the Jalepeno Cheese Stuffed Pretzel. My mouth just watered a little.

    My "I can't believe what I am seeing" moment

    I worked for a while at a steakhouse that had a large buffet-style salad bar (Hoss's anyone?).... we were actually COACHED that if we saw someone at the buffet, behaving in an improper manner, that we were to simply tell them something to the effect of ... "I'm sorry to bother you, but health...

    It's a dream - Disney Restaurant iPhone App

    We were in Disney last week, had the basic dining plan, and were talking.... (this is longer than I intended.. SORRY!!! ;)) I had made ADR's both in advance and last minute - multiples in one day, since I wanted us to have lots of flexibility about where we were, when and what we were...

    I was so excited and now.. :(

    I agree with this!!! :thumbsup2 I have a couple of friends who use accupuncture for pain/healing, one was in a car accident, so has that nervy, radiating pain (mostly back & neck) that comes from impact, and she's seen some marked improvement since starting accupuncture. Also, I agree...

    Living with the Land reopens/photos

    I TOTALLY agree... the last couple times I rode it, we were lucky enough to have boats to ourselves (kinda big parties) and we all plugged the guide with questions. I found them to be extremely knowledgeable and great to talk to... they will be missed, for sure!

    MYW with free dining upgrade

    You only need a 1 day MYW ticket in order to qualify for the Free Dining. If you were thinking of getting the AP for THIS trip (so that it would also be effective next summer), you will need to get your park tickets (for however many days) taken off your KTTW (concierge desk has to do this -...

    Yeti ALIVE or NOT in Sept. - Summary: Post #39

    I rode it Saturday, Sept 26th, at 10:15amish and it was definitely not moving. The strobe even seemed a little dim and sad. My friend didn't even know there was a Yeti there!!

    Dollar Compact Review

    Hi all! We are just back, had a Compact thru Dollar for 6 days for $164 (which was great..... and, yes, I initially said I was going to do Advantage, but when it came down to it, I couldn't take the risk). I used my debit card for the transaction, and they did indeed hold $250 while I had...

    Parking at a WDW resort if you are staying at a different WDW resort

    Agreed - we ate @ The Yachtsman on Monday, simply showed our KTTW card, our resort parking pass, and were waved on in. We parked, had supper, then wandered around. There was no mention of a time limit (we ended up parking there for about 5 hours), and when we got there @ 5:30 pm, the lot was...

    Here now - Crowds are nuts

    We were there from Sept 25 - 30th, specifically going then for the overlap of free dining with F&W @ Epcot. We found PM EMH to be waaaaayy to crowded, and will avoid them at all costs in the future. The days where we got to the parks at or near opening, we were walking onto rides, had no...
