    New guidelines - April CANCELLED ADR Thread - Read 1st Post

    GONE I have a 7:50 pm Chef Mickey on April 3 to drop for a party of 3. As a side note to how these boards work many of us subscribe to alerts so we are notified when there is a new post of a reservation being dropped. It's really annoying to get a notification and have it not be a reservation...

    The 3 Smartest Things I Did On Our Trip... plus a few honorable mentions

    I would think any resort with a full service restaurant onsite would also offer room service, but here's what I found online: Room service is offered to Guests at the following accommodations: Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort...

    The 3 Smartest Things I Did On Our Trip... plus a few honorable mentions

    No they didn't provide anything but we used the bubble bum booster. It's inflatable and packs small. At home I don't have my 4 year old in a booster yet, but for for a 1 mile trip (WL to CR) it was fine. http://smile.amazon.com/BubbleBum-Inflatable-Car-Booster-Seat/dp/B00AQYZCXK/

    The 3 Smartest Things I Did On Our Trip... plus a few honorable mentions

    I remembered another Honorable Mention. If you catch a boat that's going directly to the Contemporary it's only a 5 minute boat ride. But with all the rain we had the boats did not run reliably. I was worried that if we had to wait a long time for a boat to the Contemporary, or if the boats...

    The 3 Smartest Things I Did On Our Trip... plus a few honorable mentions

    Yes, agreed!! The battery takes about 10 hours to charge itself but I only had to charge it once on our trip, and it charges my phone to almost 100% in less than an hour. :)

    The 3 Smartest Things I Did On Our Trip... plus a few honorable mentions

    I should also be fair and let you know two places where my planning was not as worthwhile. --Cooling towels were a bust -- the kind you snap to activate -- they just did not work in the humidity. --I had gotten glow sticks and glow necklaces at the dollar store and packed them in an...

    The 3 Smartest Things I Did On Our Trip... plus a few honorable mentions

    We are back from a late September trip and I've been meaning to post these tips that really worked for me on this vacation. They were gathered from many sources including friends, the DISboards, and other reading I did before our trip. In no particular order... the top 3: 1. Had a folding...

    (CLOSED) Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE and VILLAS INFORMATION THREAD ~2014~

    Thanks! We have a breakfast ADR at WCC for our last day because I know we're not doing anything except flying home that day, but it will be nice to have the option to have dinner or lunch there too without planning so far ahead.

    GoPro'ing around the World: a ten day split stay report - VIDEO ADDED - update 10/20

    Your photos are fantastic!! Can you tell me a little more about using your GoPro on rides? We are GoPro newbies and we want to use ours to get POV video and video of our kids' reactions on Big Thunder, etc. What is the mount you were using on Everest? Is it strapped to your arm also or...

    (CLOSED) Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE and VILLAS INFORMATION THREAD ~2014~

    Is Whispering Canyon Cafe ever "walk up" for lunch or dinner, or do I need an ADR at all times? Was hoping to not "plan" one night of our trip so we didn't have to rush back at the end of the day for an ADR. Would be nice to just stroll back to our hotel and dine, even if it means a minimal...

    Left over meal credits

    We had a single leftover TS credit at the end of our trip and we were allowed to convert it into a certain number of snacks, I forget how many, at the QS location at CR. We took home quite a few Mickey Rice Krispy treats...

    September Recreation Cancellation Thread (such as Pirates & Pals Fireworks Cruise)

    I know there's a thread for ADR and A&E FP+ cancellations, but I couldn't find one for recreation cancellations. Specifically the Pirates and Pals Fireworks cruise which has been booked for months on my desired date. Every week I call to see if there have been any cancellations and every week...

    What is your not so normal item to pack, which is helpful while at WDW ?

    I have two kids and I can never tell their hotel washcloths apart - even if they are replaced daily there are times when I want to wipe their faces at a mid-day break and by the evening bath I've forgotten whose is whose. So this trip I am bringing cheapo washcloths in two different colors from...

    (CLOSED) Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE and VILLAS INFORMATION THREAD ~2014~

    Is there any view of Wishes from the ferry returning to WL? If so, is it a good view, or just ok? And do they have music to go with it? (I am guessing not...) Also -- do they still alternate between a launch and a cruiser (one of which I will need to fold my stroller for, right?)...
