    Epcot is sad

    I am a Canadian too and I have no issue with how they represent us. I don't personally wear plaid but I do like Jos Louis which they have in the Canadian pavillion lol. You have to remember it's all a little out of date but they can't update it every year. Just enjoy the good and know the...

    Deluxe dining plan

    And also, it really is A LOT of food. My wife and I are both chubby girls that like our food and after two or three days we were both dreading meal times because we felt like we were still full from our last meal. A couple of times we even threw away desserts that we had taken with us. We...

    LBV Resort vs Holiday Inn DTD

    We have stayed at the Holiday Inn on Hotel Plaza Blvd (near Downtown Disney) several times and have always been happy with our experience. It is in a very walkable location. 5 minutes in one direction straight up the street is crossroads plaza which has lots of great dining options like Sweet...

    • • The Official September 2014 Thread • •

    We just got a PIN for a bunch of dates in 2014 so I jumped on 35% off and booked us into the poly for the 20th to 28th! SO excited! Now I just have to twiddle my thumbs for 276 days. It makes me miss the days when I hadn't already been a jillion times so I could entertain myself watching the...

    How much do you pack for a week at Disney?

    I always over pack and then don't wear half of what I bring. It does get cool by Florida standards but from an Ontario perspective it's still gorgeous. Once we were there for a cold snap and we wore a thin long sleeve shirt over our tank tops and shorts. But we still swam every day. So I...

    Monorail System to close from 11:30 am to 7:00 PM, 1/21/14 - 3/2014

    I love the monorail, I know how convenient it is to be able to just hop on and get to the resort in minutes. I personally think the boats are just as good but I can see how it is more challenging with a toddler. I guess it depends on how much you have invested in this trip and how flexible...

    What is up with Frozen?!

    I thought the previews were awful. The whole moose and snowman thing? What? I don't get it. I am a big Disney fan and have seen the preview several times and couldn't tell you what the movie is about.

    Reasonably Quiet Places to eat ?

    I agree that sometimes you just need a few minutes of peace before you head back into the fray. On our last trip we discovered Wolfgang Puck Express in Downtown Disney and were really impressed. We've always loves Wolfgang Puck Cafe (which is another good option) but we found you get a lot of...

    Magical Express questions

    Have you looked into car rental costs on property? We wanted to do the same thing once but then when we went to rent a car it was super expensive. It would have been the same for 2 days on property as what we usually pay for over a week when we get a car from MCO. We decided it wasn't...

    Servers reaction to DP vs. DxDP (or better)

    When we went last year we had free dining and upgraded to the deluxe dining. We found that we had great service and the servers were eager to please. We've also paid out of pocket many times and also had great service. I think the reason is generally that we are polite guests and treat...

    Holiday Inn - Downtown Disney

    We've stayed at this hotel twice and loved it. It's super clean, reasonably quiet, the shuttles are great and the pool is nice and warm . Their beds are the best, hands down and the toiletries smell great, lol. I upgraded to the Downtown Disney view once but wouldn't do it again. The second...

    What is the best hotel in DTD?(Downtown Disney)

    We stayed at Buena Vista Palace on our honeymoon 2 years ago and we loved it. The room was nice and the bed was super comfortable. The restaurant was good but nothing too special. The pool area was really nice with 2 pools (one of which had a huge shaded area which was great for my pasty...

    Woo hoo - Sweet Tomatoes

    Sweet Tomatoes is sooooo amazing! I wish we had them in Canada. If you're on the fence jump off and go here! I usually get my coupons in my email Wednesday or Thursday and there are lots of deals. When you're done there wander across the parking lot to Pirates Cove Adventure Golf and play a...

    Book thru travel agent? How do you book?

    I book directly through the Disney website. I love their payment options of putting down the $200 deposit and having time to pay off the rest. I like having all my reservation info tied together on their website and being able to check it out constantly. If the price changes they will adjust...

    Seaworld-thoughts?

    We went on our honeymoon 2 years ago and loved it. We did the dine all day plan and found it to be great value, we saw loads of cool marine animals and fish and really enjoyed ourselves. We went back last year and hated it! Half the attractions were closed and this wasn't posted until you...
