I've had bouts of insomnia all my life so I know how you feel. I take benadryl every night partly for allergies, and partly to help trigger sleep. Plus I have a whole bedtime routine I use to help ease me into it and shut-off my mind. If I try to will myself to sleep it makes it worse. If...

You should volunteer to take Sam's vacation and let him do your job for the week. You can be the tourguide for his family, he can stay at work, and everyone will be happier. Most timeshares have an extra sleepaway couch in the living room, so you won't have to share the bed with Sam's spouse (if...

I would do at most 2 parks in a day, and only if you plan for a very long day. You could tour one park early in the day. Take a mid-day break (which is a must if you have kids). And then go to another park (or the same one) later for a little more touring and a big show - Fireworks at MK...

Is Wonders of Life the name of the pavilion at Epcot? If so, it was my favorite part of Epcot during my trip in 1997. Why did they close it?

For Prevention: Daily Magnesium and Vitamin B2 supplements. One of my triggers is lack of sleep, so I didn't push myself to make rope drop if I didn't get to sleep early enough the night before. If watch closely for the warning signs and take Motrin immediately. I can fight it off if I...

When I was little, my mother (who rarely swore) yelled at one of us and said "Stop swearing you little Sh&%" 40 years later, we still laugh about it.

If you find the old thread on this topic, make sure to read the most recent posts first. They changed the seats sometime around September. I had the same fears you have now, but it all turned out great. I fit with no problem when I was there in December. Just be sure to ask the tm for one of the...

This thread is huge and it took a long time to open. Can you start a NEW thread on the topic? Some new visitors might not know how to immediately go to the LAST page of the post.

It really pays to get some expert fitting and advice based on YOUR feet. I would try a couple different stores and try a few different brands before you make a purchase. You might get conflicting advice from different salespeople, so I'd always recommend getting a few opinions. I always...

This is the problem with going to Disney. The adults get so caught up with following their plan, avoiding lines, and checking attractions off their list, we miss all the real fun. It sounds like your kids were telling you something important that you missed. The stuff on the line was more fun...

I had a fast pass so I missed most of the line. I could see the area with the cool wall that changed when you touched it. Who could resist it? If I were close enough I would have touched it, and I have greater impulse control than your average child (I hope!). You'd better have some hand...

I think it could be fun to do it alone. I wanted to see more shows last week than my family did, so a couple times I went off on my own. It was nice. I also worry about safety when I travel alone (I went to a conference in Europe alone once.) I always feel better if someone knows where I am...

Who knows? It's hard to avoid viruses in February no matter where you are. I was at WDW last week and I never heard about the stomach virus until the day we returned. I caught a cold while I was there, but that could easily have been due to not getting enough sleep, and flying in planes with...

I want to show that story to DH but I can't find it. Could someone post a link or bump it? Thanks! It's the one with the new lyrics to Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

Soarin is one of those rides that can trick your brain into thinking that you're flying and it can make you feel dizzy. Many people have a small inner ear problem that causes dizziness, motion sickness and balance issues. My mom had it and it was completely solved by some simple PT (physical...

I would keep reading this thread, especially as you get closer. I watched it carefully before my trip last week. It seemed that the lightest crowds were earlier in the week (Monday- Wednesday), with mixed reports for Sundays (Sunday nights were better). I opted to go on Monday and Tuesday and...

Touringplans.com I use Touring Plans LINES feature, and I chat on there too. They have a beta (test) site set up to post lines at the Universal parks but I don't think many people have it. Employees post some days, and my son posted a few lines last week (it was hard to get a good signal). So...

Don't worry about it. If you were going at xmas time I'd say you should go for the Osbourne lights, but really, it won't mar your trip to miss it. A relaxing day in the middle of your trip would be really nice treat, especially if it's very hot.

I don't think he was reaching out at us but he was out when we were there. Honestly, if he moved, I don't know if I would have seen it because WE were moving so fast. It's definitely a more exciting ride if your car is up front, especially with the view of the sunset. We could see the park...

Soarin was very nice, but I didn't have any desire to do it again. I did catch a bit of the orange smell, which was very nice. (I also get that every morning with my Satsuma soap.) I would have enjoyed the experience more if they had better transitions to make it feel more realistic. I'm...
