Thank you hiroMYhero for the insight and information. We can make it work without having to do the FP+s in advance, but I was a little concerned that it meant they didn't have an 8th day on their tickets. We have to exchange their tickets at Guest Relations anyway before our first park day, so...

Well, I called Disney and was told that as offsite guests, we can only book up to 7 days of FP+ in advance. I guess I'm okay with that answer, though I don't understand why it would let me go forward with the 8 day pass, and not the military tickets...

We have a party of 4. My 3 family members are using 2-4-day Military Salute tickets each (for a total of 8 park days per person) and I have an 8-day park hopper. I have successfully made FP+ for 7 days for all of us, however, today when I tried to check current FP+ availability for today, MDE...

I soooo understand about the transmission issue. We have a 2000 Odyssey and have had the transmission fail multiple times...once was right before a WDW trip and we ended up taking our second, much smaller vehicle. Fortunately, 3 times it failed the replaced transmission was under warranty (not...

Just cancelled BOG breakfast for 4 on 12/17 at 9:35am. Hope this helps someone!

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but I didn't know this...could someone please clarify? We will be staying offsite for 2 weeks using the military tickets, total of 8 days in the parks per person (one in our party will need an 8-day MYW ticket). Does this mean we can only book FPs for 7 of our...

We'll be there the first 2 weeks of Dec. for our first trip since 2010, and we're staying offsite. Never had this much trouble finding what we want. I have to get up every day (for 2 weeks) and start right at 6 am...only to discover that what we want isn't available. I'm starting to look into...

Yea! Thanks so much for the info! C'mon December...

Hey Gr8t Fan, glad to hear you guys had a great stay at Silver Lake! We had a nice stay there in 2010 and plan to stay there again in December for 2 weeks via the SA $249 vacation certificates. Can I ask: is there a resort fee at Silver Lake? Also, is there free Wi-Fi, or even just high speed...

Yay that the trip's still on! We've had car issues mess with our Disney plans more than once, and it's a real pain. One year, DH had the car detailed before we left and somehow water got up under the car and made the carpeting smell mildewy and awful. He pulled apart much of the interior...

We have a couple of the old Brita bottles with the individual filters. We also have insulated water bottle holders for each person. When we're at WDW, every morning we each take a regular full bottle of water in our holders, and the empty Brita bottles. When we need to, we go to a CS place...

We've had success at Meijer also, and DH is fed BC/BS. I do think it depends on the store.

We have insulated bottle holders and each of us takes a fresh full bottle of water into the parks in the morning. We bring along an empty Brita bottle with a filter and use that to filter the water from drinking fountains and QS restaurants (if the water is unfiltered) and refill our bottles...

We've used Skyauction before, most recently for a stay at Silver Lake in Nov. '10. There are different types of auctions for Orlando resorts and they have different terms. You need to do your research to determine which of the available resorts are the best (trip advisor is helpful for that...

We do pulled pork all the time! The name comes from the pulling apart of the meat after cooking. We cook a pork shoulder (also known as pork butt, I believe) roast in the crock pot in root beer, with a bit of garlic powder sprinkled over it. After a few hours, the pork is tender enough that...

DH has a 1995 Honda Accord wagon that he purchased new (so about 16-1/2years old now) with well over 300,000 miles on it now. It is still running great, though showing it's age a bit. It has been an incredibly reliable car. He's looking to replace it within the next year or so with a new...

Hey Maggie, yep, your DH is right...you will definitely look like tourists! Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but if you don't want to look like tourists, you should do something different. I was born and raised there, and while it's been a few years since I've been back, the local...

For us it's fresh meat (when we can't get to the Commissary, which is further away). Prices and quality are both good. We buy Jif PB, large bags of rice, bottled water, Prilosec...and other miscellaneous stuff. Sometimes we indulge in frozen foods. We also buy dishwasher tabs, detergent, and...

Yet another vote for the Hunger Games series. DD has read the first two books and loved them. She also loved the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage(currently 6 books are out, one on the way). The books are titled: Magyk, Flyte, Physik, Queste, Syren, and Darke. The series is similar to Harry...
