    Adult Family of 5

    Great advice from a lot of perspectives! Very much appreciated! We did get the boyfriend to commit, so we are booking two rooms at All Star Movie (because of the refurb, and to save some dough). We know August can be ugly, and I've already promised him (since he and I are the sole male...

    Adult Family of 5

    We are planning a 7-day visit to WDW in August, 2022. We are five adults (all 20+), most of who are huge fans and have been to WDW as a foursome multiple time. We are planning to stay On Property. The issue we are having is our oldest daughter is trying to convince her boyfriend to come with...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    Our DD just started the Spring Advantage program, and she is on Day 2 of her actual job (Rockin' Rollercoaster!) in the parks. I drove down with her and she does have a car with her in Orlando. A couple of things that I noticed from my time with her moving her in: All utilities are covered in...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions-Old Thread-New Thread Link in Post 1

    Just FYI...we have reservations for the Dessert Party during the first week of September, 2015, and the area they use for party is located in Showcase Plaza, directly behind and between the two shops located near the lake. This puts the viewing area directly across the lake from The American...

    Cape May or Chef de France

    I would check the menus and plan accordingly based on your individual "picky eater" needs... My family (including daughters) love seafood, and so Cape May was a big hit. However, the Mac and Cheese at Chefs was also a big hit as well when we went there!

    Let's talk buses at POR and CBR .

    We've stayed at CBR the last 4 trips and I guess, bottom line, is that Disney Transportation is "Disney Transportation". CBR is a big resort with more stops than other resorts, so you may, depending on where you get on the bus, spend more time in the resort picking up other guests. But...

    Driving to Disney – do you drive overnight or during the day?

    We've driven from Minnesota on all of our trips. Usually we plan two overnight stays on the way down (one around the Hopkinsville, KY / Clarksville, TN area, and the other in Gainsville, FL. We are early-risers, so the Gainsville to Orlando trip usually gets us in to the resorts between 9am &...

    Caribbean Beach FAQ part V

    Hey CBR fans... So, I did my online check in, and I was not able to add a "Building Request". I belive this is due to the fact that we booked through a travel agent (Dreams, of course). I've put our request in with our TA, but does anyone here know of any other steps to take to help us get...

    Court Rules on Disneyland Segway Lawsuit

    This has been my thought the entire extent of this discussion. The forward motion of (and the corresponding ability to stop) a Segway is through the rider's balance. Turning is controlled via a hand grip. What happens when a person on a Segway is josteled in the park? Does the Segway stop...

    How do you keep your money/valuables safe while at Disney?

    I really the PacSafe products. Here is one that may do the trick http://pacsafe.com/stashsafe-100-gii-anti-theft-fanny-pack This pretty much has everything you want. It block RFI, and the straps are "slash resistant", meaning you can lock this to a bench or table leg and someone isn't...

    Caribbean Beach FAQ part V

    Last time we were in the parks was in August 2010, and we had one day at EPCOT where the rains were torrential. We bought the ponchos at the park, and while better than nothing, they are not the best quality. My youngest daughter's ripped down the front (under her chin) almost immediately upon...

    do children have to use the kids buffet?

    I agree with the previous responders...kids can eat whatever they want on the buffets. Some of the buffets (I know of Boma and Crystal Palace for sure) have what I would call a "kids" sections, where you will find the typical chicken tenders and cheese pizza. These are sort of set apart from...

    Beirgarten opinions please

    Having grown up in a house full of full-blooded Germans who knew how to cook german food, I would say that the food here that is trying to be "german" is very "americanized" german. It's good, but in trying to please the broader pallet, it's pretty "flat" as it relates to traditional german...

    Can someone direct me as to where to find the schedule for the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party? I looked on the WDW web site, but don't seem to find any info, and I checked The DIS, and can't seem to find schedule information there either. Could be I'm looking in the wrong...

    Walk Up @ Ohana?

    I've been trying to get a Dinner ADR at Ohana for the week of August 25, and EVERYTHING is taken, except for two 9:30pm options, which doesn't work for our family of four. So, any thoughts on the possibility of getting in by just doing a Walk Up? We usually are early eaters, so my thought...
