    Best Disney Pixie Dust You've Ever Received??

    I don't know if this is "pixie dust" or management trying to rectify a stay that was sadly having constant issues for the first two days of an eight day stay at AKL CL - October 2010. I have been going to WDW since August, 1972, on-and-off and this was the first and only time I told management...

    Who has done Keys to the Kingdom

    I have done this tour three times, last tour was May 2011. All tours were 5 hours in length. Lunch was great at Columbia Harbor House each time. The rides were POC, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion. Learned something different from each tour guide. However, like many have already posted...

    Just Booked a CARRIAGE RIDE, oh my!!!! At the POR, baby!

    I did this carriage ride last November at POFQ. It was at 6:00 pm. It was just myself. If I remember correctly the ride lasted about 40 minutes. The driver (a young lady) and myself just chatted along the way. There were two carriages too choose from. It was very relaxing - quite dark in...

    Disney Gift Cards As Payment???

    Yes, gift cards can be used at all dining establishments as well as snack carts. I only use gift cards for my dining and usually budget pretty close to what the gift card amount purchased. I always have the receipt showing how much is left on the gift card after each use.

    If you could only pick one place to eat...

    Victoria & Albert's - nothing at WDW compares to this dining experience.

    How many times did you eat at the same restaurant during one trip to WDW?

    The only place I eat at twice during a visit is Victoria & Albert's and always on a Sunday and Thursday night. IMO it is simply the best WDW has to offer as far as experience goes. However, there are the I must go to places to dine such as Trail's End for lunch, Dining with an Imagineer at the...

    Zebra Domes

    These are IMO the absolute best dessert. The distinct taste is Amarula. They do get squishy fast and can melt rather quickly. Made a special trip over to AKL-Mara while at WDW just to get a tray of the Zebra Domes - sat out by the pool and inhaled these delicious treats.

    Victoria and Albert's desserts

    Wish I could help you answer your question but the one constant at V & A's I have is the Tanzanie Chocolate Pyramid with a Champagne-Chambord Truffle. It is absolutely the best IMO. The chocolate consist is hard to describe, more like a mousse filling. It is not an overwhelming chocolate...

    AP discount

    I have just returned from a Grand Floridian stay and had two rooms reserved under my name and received the AP discount on both. Room #1 was listed with my name and family member, Room #2 was listed with the other 2 family member names. I did receive the AP discount for these two rooms.

    Club Level do's and don'ts

    A few years back while checking in at AKL CL, I introduced CL CM to sis and nephew (they were with me at check in) and I explained that they were staying at POP, but could I invite them over and bring them to the lounge with me -- was told that there would be no problem with it. They came for...

    Please convince me I'll like AKL...

    Another honest opinion and viewpoint of AKL is yes, it does seem remote, the hallways are long, the entire place has a dark feel to it, especially the rooms, (I personally think the rooms need a refurbishment), there is that chance your room view will not be that great, you are not going to see...

    Date on beer - is that sell by or good til?

    I guess I will give my two-cents worth on this subject since I have been selling/delivering the product for nearly 20 years. To answer the OP question-it is really the "pull date" or date the beer should not be on the shelf to sell. It has not expired, it is quality control mechanism to keep...

    Anyone Eaten at Cali Grill after 9pm?

    We as well did not feel rushed at all. Service continued to be great. The atmosphere did change to a more subdued/quieter experience. After the meal, we went outside to the long overlook and enjoyed the tranquility, took pictures, and just admired the nighttime scenery of MK, Poly, and GF...

    Airline employee position

    Here are just a few things to think of - I might be a bit off on some of my information, and if so, hope I am corrected. 1) Is the 16 days away for training 100% paid> I know that food/lodging/transportation to training base is paid, however, is classroom training paid? I know with many...

    Keys to the Kingdom tour

    I have done this tour the past two years and find it very informative and enjoyable. Both tours have lasted 5-5.5 hours with a 30 minute sit down lunch at Columbia Harbor House. The tour groups are rather small - between 10 and 15 people - you wear an earpiece so you can hear the guide instead...

    Disney Platinum Plan- Please critique my touring plan, is it even realistic?

    I can only comment on Victoria & Alberts and by myself the experience/meals were closer to the 3 hour mark. The carriage ride experience took 50 minutes of my time. Hope you are able to get it all worked out and get your bang for the buck.

    I have been to WDW 4 times solo and have enjoyed it as much if not more than the family trips. I have just about done it all solo, from eating at Victoria & Alberts to miniature golf, to Halloween/Christmas parties, all rides, even the carriage ride at PO resorts, and everything else in...

    :( kind of don't even want to go anymore with all the talk of decline, etc

    Has things changed and some things declined at WDW over the past years - certainly it has. There is no denying it if you go often enough like so many do here, you notice the subtle changes and disappearance of things had/enjoyed in years past. Was just there in October for 8 days - with...
