    Restaurant Special Celebration Requests

    Thanks!! I certainly don't expect to get anything extra but if there is an opportunity to add a little magic I'd like to at least try.

    Restaurant Special Celebration Requests

    My wife and I are going to Narcoossee's next week to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I'd like to make sure the restaurant knows what we are celebrating but don't know how to go about it. I've looked everywhere for an answer but couldn't find one so I'm trying this route. Do I call...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Early on, I decided that the refurb room wasn't as important to me as other things. Seeing that the only building that has been refurbished is the furthest one from El Centro made it an easier decision. We always get the refillable mugs and one of us is always running to get everyone drinks...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Just got back from a 9 day stay late on Sunday night. This was our first time at CS so I thought I would share my impressions for those that are interested. We stayed in Casitas 4 and had a room overlooking the quiet pool. There was a small conference there at the time we were so the resort...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    I stayed in Casitas 4 last week and we overlooked the quiet pool. I don't recall seeing a bathroom there although the spa and gym were right next to it. The bathrooms there were nice but did not have a shower. However, there were 2 shower stalls in the men's bathroom at the Dig Site. Our...

    ***Official*** Pandora: The World of Avatar Information Thread

    Looking forward to our trip next week but had a question on FoP and to a lesser extent NRJ. Since Saturday i've been following the wait times pretty closely on MDE and have noticed that in the later evening nearly every day one or both rides appear as "temporarily closed". I haven't tracked...

    Fishing at POR

    My son and I did it twice. Once in late January and once in June. The time in January we had a good time. We fished for about an hour and caught some catfish. They were big and fought hard. Very hard to land though because of the cane pole (no reel) and small openings in the railing to grab...

    Things Disney Offers But Doesn't Advertise (New)

    I know it's lightly advertised but the smores at Port Orleans are very fun and free for everyone. It's a nice way to meet other guests, find out where they are from and meet some of the cast members in a way that is kind of off stage.

    Things Disney Offers But Doesn't Advertise (New)

    Not sure how to get in on this but my DD a few years ago had a very early BBB appointment (at DS). She had a Merida dress on and when she was done she was asked to be the princess to open WOD for the day. Like the WL post above, it was luck of the draw but something she'll never forget. She...

    Likelihood of hours changes?

    Great, thanks! I am hoping. We really like the longer hours in the summer since the days get so hot. As with many summer visitors we like to take a break from the heat in the afternoon. Makes it harder to do that if the parks close on the early side.

    Likelihood of hours changes?

    My DD is scheduled to dance at DS on June 12. When we went 2 years ago for the same occasion at the same time, I remember park hours being a bit longer. MK was routinely open until 10, 11 or 12 (without EMH) and now I see that scheduled hours are only until 9. It also appears that all of the...

    Credit cards for bad credit

    I would suggest the secured card from Bank of America. You need to put up a small deposit but as long as you handle the account well you can graduate to an unsecured card.

    ESPN Club???

    Scupper. How do you make an ADR for a VIP Table? I didn't see that option on the MDE app page. My family is looking for a place to watch the Women's World Cup game on June 16. Assuming it will be hard to get a table but might consider an ADR for our party.

    Best credit card for air miles?

    Airline brand cards lock you into their brand. They give you perks with that airline to encourage you to only fly with that airline which puts limits on me that I don't like. I have the Bank of America Travel Rewards card and love it. It has no annual fee, I got bonus points for applying...

    What is the value in a Disney vacation?

    We asked ourselves a similar question in the car on the way home in Feb. The answer? It's where we go to be a family. Sure, we are a family at home but we are always running and our quality time is limited. Violin lessons, baseball, Boy Scouts, dance, the gym, 2 jobs, out with friends...

    What's Up with Disney these days???

    I'm glad I was not the only one to notice some of the same things. We were there from Jan. 25 through Feb. 2. This was our 3rd big trip and my 6th overall and I have never experienced so many ride breakdowns. It seemed like ToT was down everytime we tried to ride. I think 4 times in all...

    *** OFFICIAL January 2013 Thread ***

    We are also leaving on Friday driving from the mountains in NC. Right now they say the snow will get to the mountains around noon and to the Charlotte area between 2p and 4p. It shouldn't take too much to drive out of it we are hoping! Safe travels!!

    Adding nights at the last minute

    I was successful in doing this a couple years ago during my last trip. Was staying a Pop and decided we wanted to stay another night. Of course we were there during value season so I guess there wasn't much chance they wouldn't have availability. We were on the free dining plan at the time...

    Adults and Characters?

    Characters are one of my favorite parts. We like the character meals more than waiting in line but will gladly wait in line for the right character. One time my wife got punched in the arm by Donald when she said she always thought Donald was taller. Classic. I guess the characters are what...

    Rain Ponchos?

    We like compact ones that fit in a back pack and don't rip easily. There are reasonable Coleman ones at Walmart but I'm sure you can get them anywhere. The key is being able to get them on and off as you dodge the rain drops.
