    Car Rental in Vegas

    When will you be driving from Vegas to California? The reason I ask is, if you are planning to make that drive on a Sunday, you should plan to leave no later than 8 or 9 am at the absolute latest. The traffic on I-15 between Las Vegas and the CA state line is notoriously horrible on Sundays (or...

    Hurricane Hillary headups- Sunday 8/20

    I'm not a meteorologist, so take this with a grain of salt. I think it is unlikely that any airports in the area will close down completely for this. They might delay flights or cancel a handful of flights if a particularly heavy thunderstorm cell randomly blows through the area around one of...

    Want to work Geyser Point into our trip

    Good question! They didn't ask us at all, and I was surprised that they did not ask. I was expecting the experience you described. The driver just told them that they were dropping us off for dinner, and they then asked to see the driver's photo ID. After that, they let us through. Now, I'm...

    Want to work Geyser Point into our trip

    You shouldn’t have a problem getting in to WL using Uber or Lyft. Just tell the driver you’re going for dinner, and they will let the Security CM at the guard gate know that they’re just dropping you off for dinner. We were able to do this at the Contemporary during our visit a couple weeks...

    Any chance Disney will add FastPass during October

    I know my opinion puts me in the minority, but I hope that FastPass+ stays away for a while. I visited WDW two weeks ago from Sept 11 – Sept 14, and I found it so refreshing to have all queues be stand-by lines only! The wait times were posted, and everyone got in the same line knowing that...

    Beaches & Cream To-Go Window

    I share the same "favorite" as you. All these years, I thought that this combination was only available at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, and it was always a must-do on any visit to MK. I'm going for a long weekend trip next weekend, and I was bummed because I thought I'd have to forego the ice...

    Grand Canyon and Yosemite

    I have two tips about the Yosemite portion of your trip. I just stayed at Tenaya Lodge for a quick trip a few weeks ago. The hotel is great, so I think you will enjoy that part of it. The first tip is the that there is a pretty big distance getting from the hotel into the main part of...

    DME to MCO but No Flight

    I did this last year for the same reason you're asking: I had to return to the airport to pick up a rental car. I had a relatively small time frame in which I wanted to arrive at the airport, though, so it took a tiny bit of research. DME will pick you up at your resort about 3 hours before a...

    WDW Marathon weekend 2017 - Solo plans. Input?

    Congrats on taking on the half! You'll have a blast with it. I'll have a question about your plan, and then I will make a suggestion. First, the question - are you going to have to set your alarm to get up and do your recovery runs on January 8 and 9? You mentioned that your "body takes a...

    Epcot - best drinks?

    My favorite drink during non-F&W times is an Innis & Gunn from the beer stand next to the check-in desk for Rose & Crown. During F&W, my favorite is the Frozen Brown Elephant from the Refreshment Cool Post between Germany and China. It's a frozen Coke slushie with cream liqueur doused on top...

    Upgrade a WDW AP to a Premier AP at DL?

    I’m not sure if this belongs in a WDW forum or a DL forum, so please move it if I posted it in the wrong place. Would I be able to upgrade a WDW Platinum Plus AP to a Premier AP at DL, or would I only be able to do that at WDW? Here’s the background/additional context: I live in CA, very...

    Magical Express Departure - Day of Breakfast

    I've done this three times, most recently in December 2015. As buccikulju said above, you just need to call the Magical Express service directly (I used the number they gave on the confirmation paper) and ask to be picked up at a different resort. They won't be willing to pick up any later than...

    Convince me to go on a solo trip!

    I think that your mindset really helps shape the solo vacation and makes it either really fun or a less-than-fun experience. If you go into it thinking it won't be fun, you'll likely focus on the parts that aren't fun. If you go into it looking forward to the new experience and the fun of just...

    Arriving at 9:30 pm at SNA. Don't want to prepay.

    There are plenty of taxis waiting in the taxi area at SNA. I've never seen a shortage of cabs there, and each time, I've seen at least one larger taxi van. You'll be fine at 9:30 pm. The last flights don't arrive at John Wayne until around 10:30 or so. There aren't any flights departing or...

    Favorite bar/lounge spots without kids

    Check out bluezoo at the Dolphin. They have a great bar with outstanding cocktails. Their riffs on the manhattan, the gin and tonic (they call it the Antidote), and the negroni (they have a white negroni) are fantastic! Their quick bites are mostly centered around seafood, so if you like...

    Here now Half of park closed- blackout!

    I was also there during the storm on Sunday. I watched Illuminations, and then walked up to the front of Epcot, and boarded Monorail Orange. As we left the station to head to the TTC, it started to pour out! Several people on board were saying how glad they were to be on the monorail rather...

    "Santa must have heard that we love balloons!" TR *8/27 Update*

    Great PTR, lindy. It makes me excited for you and for your family! You'll all have a blast. I agree with your decision to see fireworks the first Saturday you arrive. If you're up in Hollywood on Sunday, you don't want to chance not making it back in time, and you do not want to miss...

    how bad is Delta???

    I think this is all a matter of opinion. Everyone has their favorite “go-to” airline when they fly, and any jet, jetway, or customer service representative that isn’t part of that fleet tends to be put under a microscope and compared to that preference. People tend to remember details about...

    CSE-- Pg. 74 SATAN'S HAMMER, Ch.18, pg.160 "Goodnight Sweetheart" epilogue

    I am a new DISer. Last night I found my way into the TR boards for the first time, and I just happened to click on your post as the first trip report I’d read here. What a fortuitous click that was! I was instantly hooked on your post, so much so that I read page 1, and then jumped right to...
