We spent 7 nights at Aulani in the fall. We snorkeled one time in Rainbow Reef. While we enjoyed it, we did not have an interest in doing it multiple times. If you have a strong interest in snorkeling, there are better options in the "wild". Second, we didn't think Photopass was a great...

We charged everything to our room. The day before check out, I went to the front desk and used my disney gift card towards my outstanding balance. Much easier than try to carry the gift card around and keep track of the balance.

The standard hotel room does have a refrig, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle. A microwave and toaster would have been nice but our daughters preferred the queen bed over a pull out. If you are going to be there for 12 nights, I am assuming you will have access to a rental car for at least...

We spent seven nights over Thanksgiving and had a great time. Here are some thoughts to your questions 1. Island Exploring - keep in mind that Oahu is relatively small. Aulani to the North Shore is about an hour's drive. However, traffic can be heavy in and around Honolulu. Try and avoid...

We spent Thanksgiving at Aulani and had a great time. We missed the 60 day window from Pearl Harbor as well. Good news, you can still make a reservation 24 hours in advance in person OR ON-LINE. Here is the link...

After staying at a variety of WDW resorts from POP to Yacht Club, I continue to be drawn back to the Wilderness Lodge. I find it to be the best combination of location, theme, layout and value. Other resorts win out in the individual categories but WL has the best overall score in my books...

Why not blame the North Koreans? Maybe Jeb Bush called demanded HydroFlask end their relationship Dreams Unlimited? Agree or disagree with the decision of HydroFlask. Agree or disagree with how Kevin reacted. But this conspiracy theory is a bit over the top.

We stayed at YC for Spring Break earlier this year. We really enjoyed our trip. You can find my trip report by searching on my disboard username. To answer your direct question, I would choose the Beach Club over Yacht Club if all things were equal. BC is closer to EPCOT and has a better...

Denver International Airport's underground train system is completely automated with no onboard pilots or any kind of staff. Of course, the system was designed from the beginning to be automated. It has been going nearly 20 years without any accidents that I am aware of. A few years ago, I...

As a frequent business traveler, I must say room temperature at hotels can be a "hot" button for me. Many thermostats at hotels are intentionally wrong by several degrees. 70 at a hotel is really about 74. I base this on my home thermostat being set at 74 and needing to set the hotel to 70...

On our last trip in March, I wanted to use a Disney Gift card to pay part of the balance. The night before check out, I went to the front desk and paid part of the balance with the gift card. The remaining balance was charged to my credit card that I left on file. We were at the Yacht Club...

I was not intending to make a comparison between "going Columbine" and the 4 examples of how words have consequences. I was attempting to dispel several previous posts that said words lack consequences or meaning. You and anyone else are free to disagree with me on whether "going Columbine"...

As original poster on this, I find it interesting to read the variety of responses. There has been a recurring comment that essentially says words don't have mean or significance. Words do have power and consequence. -If I use racial slurs or vulgar language in the workplace, I will be...

"Those we stand for nothing fall for anything" - Alexander Hamilton I choose to stand with the families and communities that lost students and teachers in the Columbine massacre. While I believe the podcaster's comments were not intentionally offensive, that doesn't mean they are not. I am...

I was disturbed to hear the term "going Columbine" on someone on this week's podcast. While I am sure it was not intended to be offensive, it is to me and others in the Colorado community. Let's honor the heroes and remember the lost of this tragic violent event, not make them a punchline of a...

I would not let my review stop you from trying Sunshine Seasons. It is better than most of the counter service restaurants in the parks. It just was not as good as other times. The food was not as fresh as it could have been. As I mentioned, they were not super busy, so I am guessing this...

Here is a "mini-review" of several of the restaurants we ate at the last week of March 2014. Overall, our dining experiences at Disney were good. We didn't have any terrible experiences. We are a family of four (me, wife & 2 daughters 11/14 years old). I thought I would share some average...

Why are you intentionally misstating facts of the situation? My original post clearly says it was 10 AM and I was making dinner reservations. This was hardly last minute. I was not attempting to "shuffle ADRs" as I walked into the door. It is obvious that agree with Disney's ADR policy. I...

I was using the My Disney Experience Mobile App on an iPhone. It is completely possible that I was not using it correctly. I am not intentionally trying to promote a bogus or false claim. I am just sharing my experience. I appreciate you pointing out that there are methods to prevent this...

We have moved from a discussion about the topic to telling me I shouldn't eat at sit down restaurants. That doesn't seem very mature or "Disney Like". Your comments are no longer constructive.
