    Hurricane Matthew Closes WDW - Reopens Saturday, October 8th

    Oh, I know. I lived in Myrtle Beach, SC for about 8 years. This is why we're driving half way before it reaches Georgia and waiting to see how everything looks the next day. Rather be stuck 6 hours away from it than 12.

    Hurricane Matthew Closes WDW - Reopens Saturday, October 8th

    We are also planning for 75, but not getting on it till Saturday (probably going to stop somewhere near Athens Friday night) and hopefully 75 won't be a mess. I dislike uncertainty :/

    Hurricane Matthew Closes WDW - Reopens Saturday, October 8th

    They aren't predicting it as of right now. but it does stay in off the coast of Florida near Jacksonville for a while. Like many have stated, expect a lot of rain and wind in Orlando until about Saturday. I do not think it'll touch down in Florida (fingers crossed). For drivers, slow and steady...

    What to do when you're a picky eater?

    Thank you so much for all these suggestions! It really helps to know that Disney is ok with substitutions because I do it everywhere I eat. Also, from some of the comments, I am getting that it is ok to order from the kids menu at TS for dinner, am I right? I have been looking at some menus and...

    What to do when you're a picky eater?

    Hi all. I am actually a very picky eater (not by really choice, I have a complex about trying new foods and can't get past looks, smells, and textures easily). I will be heading to Disney World Oct. 8 - 14 (my 26 birthday is on the 13!) with two of my old college friends. We are trying to be a...

    Are they real or people in costumes?

    I love the answering the question with another question because sometimes kids think of some interesting things. Growing up, I never got to go to Disney World till I was 18. But with Santa, I kind of knew the answer at a rather early age (I have a brother that is 4 years older than me and a...

    Any ideas???

    We're going to MNSSHP in October and didn't get a park ticket for the day we're going the party. My group and I are planning to relax a bit, going to Downtown Disney and going out to eat somewhere down there. You could also explore not only your resort but also other resorts you've never stayed...

    WDW-are the rooms at the values and some moderates...

    When I stayed at POR in 2011, it was enough room for 5 people, four adults and one child. We didn't spend much time in our rooms, but we were able to get ready with no problem. Value hotels are a bit smaller so if you're expecting a big group, you might want to upgrade just to give more space...

    How old were your kids for the "big" rides?

    I haven't been to Disney with my cousins yet, but we went to Universal last year with them and my DC who was 6 at the time would want to go on things then in the queue he would know if he wanted to ride or not. The last time they went to Disney, he was 4 and we're planning to go this yet...

    myrtle beach help....

    I don't recommend North Myrtle Beach to be honest. I lived in Myrtle Beach about a year and half ago and now live in Pawleys Island, which is only an hour away. A lot of the hotels in NMB are dated and the main stuff is on the strip. During summer, traffic to get to MB from NMB is horrible...

    Did you Surprise your kids with a trip to Disney?

    Although I am not a parent and I haven't surprised anyone with a Disney trip (yet...) I love watching videos on Youtube with parents surprising their kids. Some of my favorite ideas were: -Telling them you're going to the airport to drop dad/grandma/aunt/etc. off to catch a flight. Then you...

    1st time tips?

    Although the original poster has already said "no" to an amtrak way of transportation, I advise strongly against train to anyone else considering it. I took a trip on train and I should have arrived in Chicago at 3:30pm and didn't get there till 12:30am THE NEXT DAY. I missed my connection and...
