    Visiting during Gay Days 2014

    We can still be fired in more than half the states for simply being gay, we can't adopt children in certain places, or have our legal marriages recognized in most states. Just last week I was called an "F" word by a young man at MK who didn't think I heard him. There are still laws on the books...

    Should I or shouldn't I?

    My partner and I made the move to Orlando over a year ago. My current position at work opened up in Orlando, and I jumped on the opportunity. He had to find another job after getting here, but it worked out. We probably would've moved anyway if I hadn't gotten the job. I love living here and...

    Whos resting for tomorrow?

    We're going because my friends and DH didn't get to go to Leap Day last year. I might stop by in the morning before work, and then we'll go after 2pm for the all-nighter. I've been during various crowds, but I was miserable last year. It was so crowded, and the crowd level never died like I...

    Any Experience Getting a FL AP without a FL Drivers License?

    The first day I moved here, I picked up my AP. I used my Illinois DL and a checking account statement printed from online with my new address. My partner used his out of state license and an electronic printout of our Verizon Wireless bill. Just wanted to clarify to the person that said they...

    A little disappointed with new Little Mermaid ride....

    I had read a lot of negative reviews about the ride prior to visiting New Fantasyland. The first time we went on it was a MVMCP and there was no wait. I was blown away by the queue and the extraordinary level of detail that went into the castle. I was pleasantly surprised by the ride. We...

    What are my chances of adding to my resevation?

    I have added (and subtracted) people in my party multiple times when arriving at the restaurants without it ever being a problem. I have had to wait a little longer. I'm not recommending doing that but thought I'd share my experience.

    Whispering Canyon Cafe??

    We've been since the menu change. The quality didn't seem up to par with our previous visits (but I might try again now that they pulled pork is back) and DH was depressed about not being able to order meatloaf. We had zero antics during this visit too. I don't know if this was a one off thing...

    Lose something at Disney?

    Keep in mind that when you lose something, it takes its time to get to the actual lost and found building. First the item may go to a shop, then guest relations and eventually lost and found. We lost our keys in MK, went all the way to the TTC and realized we couldn't go home, back to MK a few...

    Characterpalooza

    We don't usually see photopass photographers, but I've always been able to get the CM to take my picture.

    How crowded is the 3rd week in October ?

    Was there the last week of October last year and we had a great time. I encountered big crowds at Epcot for F&W, but we never really waited for rides. After moving to Orlando, I've been every month this year, and the best advice anyone can give you is to arrive prior to park opening. Even in...

    More Merida Photos at the MK!

    We went today and had no clue about the soft opening but managed to get in line. Lines weren't terrible, but most didn't know about it. It'll likely be the same line situation as the Tangled meet and greet. A CM lets you try your hand at archery while you're in line.

    What time of day is least busy?

    Rope drop is the best. Usually by the time I'm in the park and heading to the first attraction I want to ride, I'm fully awake. I've been when it's open very late, and yes, the crowds leave and everything is walk on, but if you've been at Disney all day, you'll probably be tired and just ready...

    Who's in for "One More Disney Day" 2-29-12?

    Have to work tomorrow, so I'm going at 6am before work to check out the opening, and then I'll be returning around 5pm until 6am the next morning. I took off the 1st so I can get some sleep! I finally convinced a couple of people to go with me (although they'll probably leave the park at...

    Seeing MK New Years Eve fireworks

    I had originally wanted to watch from the Poly, but I heard that this year, they've been turning people away from the beach and even the monorail that didn't have dining reservations there. That's mainly why I was gonna try to get over to CR. We stayed at BLT in October and there are many places...

    Seeing MK New Years Eve fireworks

    We are moving to Orlando next month and coming down this weekend to find a place to live. I would like to possibly watch the MK New Years Eve fireworks from any possible place I can see them. We're not staying on-site as this isn't a vacation, and we're not buying park tickets because we don't...

    Late April comparable to October?

    So I had a trip planned for the last week of October 2012 (same dates we went this year) to take 2 of my sisters to experience Halloween at WDW. But I just got hired for my same job in Orlando, so I'm moving next month! So excited. Now I think I want to fly them down a couple of times next...

    How busy do you think Disney will be in 2012 after the new Fantasyland opens?

    I believe James Cameron is making 2 more Avatar films, so it'll still be relevant when they open the land.
