Ha-I shouldn't be remotely surprised to learn that I'm living under a rock. LOL I should've realized that unless they've made a Minecraft parody of it, it probably hasn't entered my 3 boys' consciousness! I'm only even aware of it because I'm a gigantic fan of Dr. House! :)

That's good to know that they were still sending lists, at least late last year! I always note wheat/gluten on our ADRs. I actually find the lists the most helpful for quick service and snack stuff. I always want the most updated info, too! I remember how things have changed from trip to...

Hi all! I was looking on the Disney site to confirm that I remembered the Special Diets email address correctly, and found that the SD write-up has changed since I last read it. It says "Advance arrangements are not necessary for guests with lifestyle dietary requests." Then below, states...

When we surprised our 11, 9, & 3 year old boys in 2013, we sent them on a scavenger hunt on the morning we left. The clues essentially had them pack their backpack for the plane :) and ended with them opening their closet door to find their Disney 2013 T-Shirts that I snuck in early in the...

I'm surprised I really haven't seen much about Tomorrowland, considering it's opening in a month... I feel like we've been drowning in Avengers merch for-EVER now, and it's only 3 weeks ahead of it (NOT that I'm complaining-I'll swim in a sea of Avengers any day!!! :) )

We have always gone in May or October. Our goal is to hit lower crowds and avoid the high heat and humidity of summer. We always hit a water park during those months, too, although I can't say we've always had perfect water park weather, it seems to be more of an "our luck" phenomenon :P and...

I missed the Expo last year, but went 9 out of the 10 years before... just to shop! :) While the vendor list has gotten smaller over the years, I agree with an above poster that its still a great improvement over Big Box stores. I have started to order online a little more, but personally I...

We are going in November for the first time (all other trips have been in May or October) and we are also going to do MVMCP for the first time! We have our first day at the parks planned for MK-a regular full day. The first MVMCP on the schedule is at the end of the week. We also don't have...

I am all for taking the kids out of school for vacation :) That said, I also know that in my school district, high school is broken down into 4 "quarter" marking periods, and for all kids they have 3 quarters of gym and one of health. I think there are also some elective cycles that have 4...

We go every other year, but I have still had the same thought in the back of my mind... and so 2 trips ago in 2011, I got the Hidden Mickey book, and we had a blast with that!(They were 9 & 7) It was something new while doing all the same old things-perfect! Last trip in 2013 (ages 11 &9) they...

Hmm... I can see all sides on this one, and there are pros and cons each way. I think the most important factor you need to consider is, what decision will make this the best vacation possible? At 7 and 9, my older sons still made good use out of the stroller. We rented a double in the...

I was thinking the same thing-hope someone in the know can chime in!!! :)

Thanks everyone for the information! We are going Jersey Week (along with the whole rest of my NJ tribe, I guess that's why they call it that LOL), we are traveling down on 11/1, back on 11/8. We don't have flexibility at all with the dates. We already have our timeshare reserved, which we...

Thank you so much for all of the great information! I actually just posted a thread asking about some of the very answers you've given, I should have checked here first! I actually have a little hope now that it's not going to cost me the farm to get our little brood to WDW!!!

True confession here, we flew from NJ to WDW in 2013, but before that we were driving down-hadn't flown since 2005. Booking flights in 2013 was a breeze-found exactly what we wanted around 3-4 months out, for a great price. Now that I'm looking to book for this November, not only are the...

Jersey Girl, checking in... because I was literally coming here to post the same dang thing!!! Indeed, that is Jersey Week (Teacher's Convention is Th 11/6-F 11/7). Many schools also have half-days on M-T-W (though not all). As a parent, it's extremely attractive to give our kids the very...

And so it would seem, I cry at threads about crying at Disney. This is my punishment for being on disboards at work. :P I get teary as soon as we are on Main Street, no matter what. But it's usually when we first happen upon a performance of some kind that the tears start to pour and I'm...

I know there are different "levels" of Wolfgang Puck's, but I don't know if any of them qualify as CS for meal plan purposes... if so, this is where my DH (celiac) and I go for our date night when Grandma travels with us. :)

That was me! I was diagnosed after the first of my boys was diagnosed. I started reading and researching and saw some info on parenting for ADHD, WITH ADHD, and all the bells and whistles went off. I was a ripe old 38. Indeed, it's never too late!!! Alicia, I'm so sorry to hear that you...

This is EXACTLY what I need! 8am-ish at Tusker House!!! Best time, best breakfast! We are 139 days out, so I know there's time... I just need to keep stalking, keep stalking, keep stalking... (I've been checking the cancellations thread too... such a nice thing, that is, that people...
