    Drinking Around the World tips and strategies?

    Hmmm - I really don't drink lots at home (a couple on Friday nights), but vacation is a different story. I did my first drink around the world New Years Eve 16/17. Something I always wanted to do but never took the time and figured nye was perfect opportunity since I could take advantage of...

    NY Eve plans

    I was at Epcot to ring in 2017...so much fun and very glad I decided to cross this bucket list item off my list. =) I was staying at Pop and got in line for the bus around 10:30am....there were easily 4 buses worth of people so I went to HS instead and took a boat over. There were only maybe 5...

    Pirates 'N Pals review

    I did this a couple years ago with my sis and her kiddos. It was great as we were there end of Oct so MK had MNSSHH parties where MK was closed some of the nights. We did the cruise one of the party nights and we were able to enjoy the special fireworks and they were actually earlier (I think...

    MK at Phase B closure as of 11:45 UPDATE reopened at 9pm 12/31/2016

    I totes understand thise crazy high prices. NYE was on my Dis bucket list and I have to say while it was amazing, fun, and beautiful, I can't imagine ever doing it again and not being at a deluxe resort. I was at Pop and went to MK on 12/30. Getting out of there that night really wasn't bad at...

    Brrrr it's cold out today... (12/30/16)

    I am from IL and thought I was "used" to cold weather. I bought a few ornaments earlier yesterday and passed on buying the $20 fleece throw. But come 9:30 I was shopping again and had to spend another $40 so I could get a $20 blanket. Crazy. I was warm tho. Today is absoutely beautimous! Sun...

    For all you southerners

    I am a pale skinned redhead that easily burns within 5 mins of being out in the sun. Currently in St Pete area and UV index is moderate so I am sitting on my shaded balcony instead of beach b/c my sis and her kiddos went on a walk (therefore no one to put sunscreen on my back). I will def be...

    Epcot's New Years Eve all inclusive information

    So stoked that I am also going to Epcot for NYE. Do the countries have different drinks out for NYE? I am thinking about drinking around the world and want to get my plan of attack, but not sure what drinks are available. I can't have gluten so lots of beers are out which is why I am trying to...

    I know traffic is bad but...?

    Yes - was concerned with that too. As luck would have it,room opened up at AoA so there on 30th and Pop on 31st. All is good as long as no Phase 4 closures. I need to redo FPs tho as I think I'll do MK on 30th and Epcot on 31st. Likely won't get to MK until 3ish....picking friend up in Sanford...

    I know traffic is bad but...?

    Yes...wasn't sure if when you said above that you'd avoid roads near MK and TTC if thst held true for Epcot too.

    I know traffic is bad but...?

    How bad is Epcot? I was able to get an onsite room for an ok rate for NYE, but none avail for the 30th. This would be my arrival day so I won't get there until probably noon and thought about heading to Epcot. I could also head to MK so I can see the NYE stuff on the 30th and then see the...

    I know traffic is bad but...?

    Thank you so much for this post. I am contemplating heading to the parks 12/30 and 12/31. I'll be in FL (along the gulf coast somewhere) and my bucket list includes NYE at MK. Figured I should go this year as I have an AP and I probably won't have one again. Thing is, there are no value rooms...

    Staying on property... to get a rental car or not.

    I can totes see that having a vehicle down there would be quite convenient. Things to think about: are you staying at a resort thst has more than one bus stop and you end up staying close to one of the last pick ups. Bus may be full or you may be standing. Do you have any dining plans at other...

    Any recent wait time info for Joy and Sadness

    No FP for Joy n Sadness as the PP stated. This location is right across the other character spot. As you are walking into Epcot..if you go straight and then turn right to walk thru innovations to get to The Land, Joy, Sadness and Baymax are on the right and the others on left.

    Just a quick update to let y'all know how my trip went. I was with a friend (stayed at Saratoga Springs on friends dvc points). Arrived to MCO about 10:30 on Fri and were in AK by noon. Security at AK seemed to take the longest of all the parks...everyone did go through metal detectors. We had...

    I know 1 other person that can't stand Starbucks....everyone else loves it. I've been drinking coffee since I was 4 (35 years) and now I like it black....as a 4 yr old I know I added sugar. I don't know how anyone can drink Starbucks without it being a specialty drink, but I think my friends and...
