    Account Deactivated message on all Disney Log-ins

    I can "get in" to both MDE and the website, but they each kick me out when I try to access the Tip Board or My Plans, respectively. But Disney+ is working, so at least there's that.

    Have you ever met someone who had the same surname as you but not relate to you?

    I grew up with an unusual surname, and I got "caught" taking pictures of a vanity license plate with a shorthand version of the same name. The car's owners laughingly told me that they once took a picture of a mailbox while on vacation because they saw the same name there. Turns out the...

    Anyone have a Puffy or Dreamcloud mattress?

    We have two Dreamcloud mattresses - a full and a king. Both are comfortable and holding up well to constant use. The mattresses are softer/ more cushioned than we had expected. While we like them, my husband wishes they were firmer. Customer service is very good. The first king mattress we...

    Shipping things to your resort

    We ship orders directly to our resort from Amazon, Target, and Walmart (depending on pricing and availability) every trip. We also usually have a load of groceries delivered. This includes our trips during COVID times. I direct the packages to MY NAME -- GUEST (Arrival date) at the resort...

    Best place to dine on Easter Sunday?

    We ate Easter Brunch at Hollywood & Vine in Hollywood Studios this year. It was Spring-themed, rather than Easter-themed, with the characters in colorful florals.

    Best a la carte restaurant? (Young kids)

    Also, the buffets generally offer "normal" kid food to go along with more adventurous tastes for grownups. Tusker House, for example, serves great curries and exotic salads alongside macaroni and cheese and mini corn dogs.

    Will Character Meals return to normal?

    Only Cinderella (for a picture in the entrance hall) when we visited last month.

    What are your all-time top favorite Disney resorts?

    WL/CCV/BRV fans here. We've tried many resorts, but keep coming "home" to the place we brought our little girl for her first visit many years ago. BRV is our favorite part of the Lodge. Can't wait for the upgrades, hopefully later this year. Then WL club level, then CCV (rooms are lovely...

    BLT with small kids (4/2)

    BLT. The proximity to MK is a life-saver with kids in tow. In the ten minutes you might spent walking to the bus stop at another resort, you can be at the gates of the park. Your kids will enjoy watching and riding the monorail, even if you just make a circle. You will be able to watch the...

    Ride share drop-off at Resort: restrictions?

    Thanks for all of the updates. We are plotting the best way to get to the Contemporary this Sunday morning for 8:00 am Easter Mass, so appreciate the up-to-date information.

    Strategies to Kill Time in Standby Line with Kids

    I have not had any problems with it draining my battery, and my family plays frequently. The game does require reading the answer and giving clues, but you can easily include non-readers by letting them be the guessers while you and other readers give the clues, or whispering to them what the...

    Strategies to Kill Time in Standby Line with Kids

    Heads Up! is a huge hit with my family (and you'll see lots of others playing it while waiting, too). The Disney Parks deck is especially fun to play in line.

    Weighted blanket

    Target and Amazon both deliver to Disney resorts. Last trip, the weighted blanket we wanted was on sale at Target and delivery was free, so we went that route. I'll look in a couple of weeks and figure out which vendor will be most economical for our Easter trip.

    What would you do if your resort room was left open all day?

    After your trip ends, send a complaint to Disney via the guest services email. This exact thing happened to us years ago at the Beach Club Villas. Like you, we immediately reported the problem to the front desk, but got no real response. Our follow up email was taken much more seriously. We...

    S/O Coronavirus School Closing considered in your area?

    Schools in Northern Virginia are now closed through the middle of April, and will resume after the previously scheduled Spring Breaks (right around Easter).

    Washington DC hotel recommendations

    A hotel in Crystal City is my recommendation, too. Every major hotel chain is there, plus restaurants, bars, and the Metro. Crystal City is the area of Arlington, Virginia near Reagan National Airport (DCA) and just across the river from Washington DC. It's also where Amazon is building its...

    Do more FP times open up at the 30 day mark?

    Sometimes the system shows more "flexibility" if you try adding guests to your existing FastPass+ selections (using the "Add Guests" feature) rather than trying to make entirely new selections for the additional folks. You might have tried this already without luck, but just in case . . .
