    BOG lunch - favorites?

    We ate there for lunch on Sunday. DW had the roast beef sandwich and some french onion soup. Sandwich was very good, and pretty big. She only ate half with her soup which was also very good. I had the braised pork with string beans and mashed potatoes. It was excellent. Great flavor, very...

    Cinderalla's Royal Table - dress code for my girls

    We ate breakfast at CRT last week. My DD6 loves princesses, but is a bit shy and does not like to attract too much attention to herself. She would never wear a princess outfit in the parks or restaurants at Disney. We just wore what we were wearing in the park for the day - shorts and...

    Ohana deception

    We ate dinner at 'Ohana for the first time last Thursday, 9/19. We have never eaten there before, so I can't compare it to any previous experience. We thought it was excellent. We are foodies, and have worked in the restaurant business, so we are pretty picky about both food and service. I...

    Online Check In

    I don't think there is any advantage to online check-in. I have stayed at the Polynesian twice and had similar experiences. In Feb 2012 I had my TA request Tokelau and balcony on our reservation. We did not do online check-in. We arrived around 8:00am and had to wait for our room to be...

    Questions about Poly from First Timer

    Just got back from 5 days/4 nights at the Poly. Sept 19-23. This was our second trip to the Poly, and just as good as we remembered. Construction was not an issue, but you can tell they are getting ready with silt fences and the parking lot by Rapa Nui is blocked off. We watched fireworks...

    Rapid Refill Ripoff

    Just returned from 5 days and 4 nights at the Polynesian on Free DDP. Picked up our mugs at Capt Cook's in the evening on 9/19. We checked out on 9/23, but the screen on the RapidFill machine said all 4 of our mugs were good until 10/2/13. Not sure how or why, but that is what they said. We...

    Best times for Fastpass+

    Agree with ArwenMarie. It depends on your schedule in the park. We just returned from 5 days using MB and FP+. Standby lines are usually shorter in the morning and the last couple hours of the day. We are not a RD family, and like to get back to the resort before dinner. I scheduled FP+...

    Disney drivers

    Making the drive tomorrow morning from Mount Pleasant, SC. Woo Hoo! :cheer2: 406 miles from our house to the Polynesian. Usually takes 6-6.5 hours, including a short bathroom stop, and a longer (20 min) stop to grab brunch/lunch. I hope to be pulling out of the driveway at 6am so we can be...

    Cancel a Single FP+ on MDE

    I called WDW Reservations Tech Support (407-939-7765 option 2) and spoke with a very helpful CM about my issue. Explained to her I couldn't change the time for my Wishes FP+ because it doesn't take place any other time that day. I could not change the experience because I get a message there...

    Cancel a Single FP+ on MDE

    I did get a 4th bonus pick that day, but it was Journey of the Little Mermaid. I was able to switch it to something else, but not sure which of my 4 current FP+ was the "bonus" pick. Either way, I have changed all 4 of my FP+ picks for this day a few times over the past week. I thought this...

    Cancel a Single FP+ on MDE

    Thanks for the reply. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Can you tell me how you cancelled a single FP+. I would appreciate it.

    Cancel a Single FP+ on MDE

    Is there anyway to cancel just a single FP+ so I can book something different at a different time. I have a FP+ for Wishes from 8:40-8:55pm on Sun, Sept 22 that I want to cancel, without changing or cancelling any of my other FP+ for that day. When I try to "Change the Experience" I get a...

    Rainforest Cafe DTD / AK Questions

    sweetnjmom. On my DS8's 7th birthday in Feb 2012 we thought we would have a surprise lunch for him at T-Rex Cafe. When we showed up at DTD he took one look at the outside of T-Rex and said, "I am not going in there". He was petrified. We had some time before our reservation so we walked...

    Rainforest Cafe DTD / AK Questions

    Our last visit in Feb 2012 we ate at both T-Rex at DTD and RFC at AK. Menu is similar but not the same - owned by the same company. Atmosphere is also similar but not the same. One is full of dinosaurs, the other is full of jungle/rainforest animals. Both have short light and sound "show"...

    Booked FP+ but can't customize Magic Bands

    I was in the same situation a couple of weeks ago. We are staying at the Poly 9/19-9/23, and are in the test group. Here is how it went down. I kept checking MDE and finally on 8/12 the link to reserve FP+ worked. I scheduled our FP+ for our entire trip. The MB link still did not work. I...

    weather

    The simple answer is - Do not worry about things you cannot control, like the weather. There is nothing you can do in the next 9 days to change what the weather will be like on your vacation. As pp said - a hot, humid, rainy day at Disney is better than any day, even a sunny one, at home...

    Princess Fairytale Hall

    I noticed the link says FP and FP+ will be available. We are in the test group the end of September. I checked my FP+ selections for Sept 19 and Sept 20 and this does not show up in my list of options. Has anyone else testing FP+ had this as an option? Are they going to announce in advance...

    Pro's and Con's of Disney's Dolphins in Depth vs. Seaworld Dolphin experience

    We have done both the Dolphins Up Close at Sea World, and Discovery Cove with the Dolphin swim. We (self, DW, DS7 and DD6) went last November. Paid for Discovery Cove and received free 14-day passes for Sea World and Aquatica. We did the Dolphins Up Close at Sea World to get my kids ready for...

    Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade?

    Yes. The parade is held most days in MK, and starts at 3:00pm. The normal parade route starts in Town Square, then heads up Main Street, circles the Hub and then heads into Frontierland where it ends. I believe sometimes the route is reversed, but the standard route begins in Town Square, and...
