    Victoria & Alberts questions

    GF Gratuities - one more time with feeling

    Thanks for the advice Wendi. I agree with you, that turn down service should be a "tipped" service. Well here I am in Fla, with 8 days to go to WDW. Before I left VA I downloaded the mousekeeping envelopes - 1 design for mousekeeping and 1 design for turn down CMs (both get a little extra...

    Doing a sit down meal while traveling solo

    Spicey - I can understand your food allergies, in a big way. I am allergic to nuts, fish (not shellfish but regular fish), and alcohol. The last causing me to go into anaphylactic shock:eek: :eek: . One would think that based on this I would NEVER eat out, but I do because I can't live...

    Free upgrades at GF

    I have heard about the GF occasionally upgrading a person's room for free. Does anyone know if they do this during the XMAS season or is it done solely in the off-seasons?

    I've dined solo frequently and have been solo at WDW for the past 10 trips - and I have NEVER felt awkward while eating. In fact, I have had a fabulous time each and every time. I sometimes bring a book or a mag or just people watch. The service CMs usually go the extra mile and come over and...

    We sure are a quiet bunch

    To spicey...... As for gettting along with the Aussies -- one thing I've learned is that they tend to be rather sensitive about being called British. Or asked "What part of Britain are you from." Just a hint. I've gotten rather good at being able to tell the difference in accents between...
