Last summer, we used Uber to get from Wilderness Lodge to get to Universal. Honestly, it was the easiest right that I've ever taken on Disney property. I requested a driver, and he was there within five minutes. It was my first Uber ride, so I was nervous to take my wife and five year old...

I used Uber last trip with the first time user bonus and paid NOTHING for a round trip from WL to Universal (actually went to Epcot on the way back). I got the free $20 promo and then got another by sharing it with a friend. The fare each way is 17-23 (depending on traffic). Far better than...

Day two started a bit slowly for us. Usually, we are rope drop sort of people, but the grind of awakening prior to 3 am the day before took it out of us. So, we chilled at the pool, deciding what to do. Since we booked our vacation through the fabulous Shelly at Magical Vacations, we had...

Upon arrival, our first stop is usually Chapeau Hat Shoppe; however, they had no Spider-Man ears (my dream for this trip), so we rushed over to get our Sorcerers cards... and stopped for a quick photo op on Main Street... Before we did anything else, though, we had to meet a few special...

Day 1 started very early. We always take the first flight out of Pittsburgh to Orlando, and this year's happened to depart at 6:05! At about 9:00 in the morning, we were on the Magical Express... And by 9:45, we were at Wilderness Lodge! Enough of the Lodge, though... It was...

In spite of the fact that this is my 14th Disney trip, this is my first trip report, so please bear with me! We just got back a little over 30 hours ago, so the family is still in deep denial... This has got to be one of the best trips of our Disney lives! The cast: Juliet, age 5...

In the past, when we have gotten Deluxe Dining (or even standard), we have had many left over meals at the end. Coming home with a bag full of Rice Krispie Treats isn't worth it. Anyhow, what we do is find a family in line that looks like they are nice and would appreciate the surprise. I...

For the past 3 years, I have been out of the free dining loop. No pin codes, not the right time, etc... Anyhow, as I sit here at WL, I am planning my trip for next year, and am targeting June. Does free dining ever get offered in June? Three years ago, I had a PIN that got it for me. However...

People in line are pretty good about letting others out and in. It was happening non-stop yesterday and there was no complaining. Just be ready; the first third of the Gringotts line is in the sun, even early in the day. It can be a killer.

So, like many of us, I wanted to go to Universal for a day; my daughter is reading Harry Potter, so it is a big deal for her. Aside from park tix, the cab fare or cost of any transport is very expensive.... So, I took the plunge and tried the Uber app. It is the best decision I made this trip...

Like many, my wife, daughter, and I are jumping ship from our early-August vacation at the Polynesian. Our travel agent is able to switch us to the Contemporary or Wilderness Lodge. A bit of background: we picked the Polynesian for three reasons: 1) Always loved the theming, but...

Hey All, We're yearly visitors to WDW. Generally, my wife, daughter, and I go to moderates unless it is a special occasion. Anyhow, we were just in for the WDW Marathon, and we had a great time at Coronado Springs. So much so, we decided to book Coronado for our trip in August (Aug...

Hey all, Just got back a little over a week ago for our short (:guilty:) trip to WDW for Marathon Weekend. The wife ran the Goofy Challenge, and we couldn't be prouder. She's a serious runner (fastest marathon is 3:18:25), but she was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her right foot five...

Thanks for the great advice...Quick question, though and I feel dumb asking. What does GP stand for? I don't want to call, reference GP promo, and them say, "Excuse me..." Thanks!

Thanks for the like on the name! Let's just hope that Sid's jaw heals soon. I'm going on Friday night.

Hello all! My wife, LO, and I are booked for the final week in June. We're staying at PO in a Royal Room. Question: What can I do tomorrow to lower my rate? Should I be calling at seven? If so, will I need to cancel my reservation and rebook, or can they just adjust my price...

Hey, I posted this in the wrong forum the first time....boo. I've done DD enough to know this, but I wanted to double check. Normally, my fam (wife, myself, and daughter (4)) does Deluxe Dining. Obviously, its WAYWAYWAY too much food. We end up giving meals away on the last day, playing...

I realize that I posted this in the wrong form..... :sad2::blush:

Hey, I've done DD enough to know this, but I wanted to double check. Normally, my fam (wife, myself, and daughter (4)) does Deluxe Dining. Obviously, its WAYWAYWAY too much food. We end up giving meals away on the last day, playing Santa in July. This year, we are thinking of doing...
