    Question about magic bands and AP

    Hope I am posting this in the right spot. We are going in July. We have AP's. This will be our first trip since FP+ started. We are doing Dolphin 5 nights, then BLT 5 nights. My reservation for BLT shows up in my Magic account. My Magic account now has 2 different sets of magic bands -...

    WDW -Disability Access Service (DAS) - ARCHIVED THREAD; no longer vslid

    We are back from our 12 day trip 12/25-1/6. My ds is 13 and on the autism spectrum, and he was also in a wheelchair this trip due to Achilles tendon release surgery. We visit WDW once or twice a year and DL monthly. I was a bit worried how it would all go with the big crowds and my son's...

    Need advice please

    Thanks to all of you for your advice. I knew that people here would be helpful - as usual. As this is new territory for us I hadn't thought about a few things that you brought up. We are renting a car - we are doing 5 nights at Embassy Suite LBV and 5 nights Dolphin. My 13 year old is...

    Need advice please

    Our family are WDW veterans - we are traveling with my 13 year old son (he has autism and serious sensory issues) and he has recently had achilles tendon surgery on both feet. We are going to WDW and hopefully Universal (never have been to Universal before) for 2 weeks over Christmas/New...

    Vero Beach Adoration 2010 Thread *** Closed now *** Links to 2011 Thread inside

    Just returned from a week at VB and it was AWESOME! We had an Inn room and although we had a garden view room we were on the north corner and had a nice view of the ocean from our balcony - we could hear the waves too! We are not DVC members - we booked this thru Disney because the gal I...

    The *NEW* SWAN & DOLPHIN RESORT Thread ~ April 2009 ~ Please read Post #1!

    We are home from 10 nights at the Dolphin (followed by another week in FL) and had a great trip. I think our best meal of the entire trip was at Bluezoo - it was so amazing that we went back a few nights later for round two! We also enjoyed dinner at Shulas and Il Mulino. Thanks for the tip here...

    Thanks for all the recent updates! I guess we will be ready for some super HOT weather. Oh well, it has been cooler than normal here in California so I think it will be quite a shocker for my ds. Looking forward to being back at the Dolphin! We will be there on Wednesday!! So excited! I will...

    Best Backpack for the World

    Same with Eddie Bauer - we have an outlet store near our house and I have gotten some great deals there. The prices are better than the regular Eddie Bauer stores and I love their quality and attention to detail.

    Helping folks "start" the magic

    There is a spot where we do this on the DIS or at least there used to be. I think it was called "Paying it Forward" or something like that. I know 4 years ago when we went last I participated and someone sent my ds a card. Not sure of the status of that now...

    Comfortable Sandals for Walking?

    You know I didn't give too much thought about the arch support - all I can say is that they are super comfy - even after 9 hours at Disneyland - and or 6 hours on my ds' class field trip to the art museum - it feels like my feet are on a tempurpedic mattress! LOL!

    Comfortable Sandals for Walking?

    I gave up Crocs last year after my friends threatened an intervention (I had a serious problem) lol - anyway I went on a quest to find some comfortable sandals and believe me I tried many, many pairs. I have kinda wide feet and don't look good in a lot of sandals but I really wanted to have...

    The *NEW* SWAN & DOLPHIN RESORT Thread ~ April 2009 ~ Please read Post #1!

    I would post this on the restaurant board but I figured the regulars here might give me some insight. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary on our upcoming trip and I was looking at where we might eat a special meal on property at the S/D. I see that ds can spend a couple of hours at Camp...

    Thanks - did you see the thread I started about it on the main board? I called the resort again and they say the rooms have wifi access. So confusing! I just don't want to bring our brand new iPads and not be able to use them!

    SUPER cute Walmart Toy Story 3 find!!

    Yesterday at Wal-Mart I saw a display of really cute $5 Toy Story 3 craft and coloring packs that seemed like a good deal. It was a whole end cap display near the craft area.

    The *NEW* SWAN & DOLPHIN RESORT Thread ~ April 2009 ~ Please read Post #1!

    We have iPads so unless there is wifi we can't connect. I just called the "general inquiries" number at the Dolphin. The gal who answered said there IS wifi in all the rooms. I wish I had some way to confirm this prior to our arrival. I will not need a router if that's true. Anyone...

    I didn't think there was - I wish there was though! I was considering bringing a wireless router along. Ten nights is a long time for no wifi! Lol!

    Wow - thanks for the restaurants.com heads up - I got the Shulas and Garden Grove ones! It was only $4 so I figured it was a safe gamble. I also got one for the week we are at Vero for the Riverside. I am always leery of sounds to good to be true offers but for the minimal investment I thought...
