    Ants

    Cinnamon. Ants will not cross cinnamon. Carpenter ants are looking for water and more than likely you have a satellite nest somewhere outside. Call an exterminator before they do severe damage to your house.

    Storytime with Belle was the old version. Enchanted Tales with Belle is the new attraction.

    crowd calendar-- whose right??

    I had huge conflicts between TP and easywdw during my August trip. I followed my gut and went with Josh and it worked out great. Granted, I didn't park hop, so I don't know if TP was right as well, but Josh was not wrong with his prediction of manageable crowds. Used his cheat sheets too and...

    Staying on Property vs off Property

    Why do I stay offsite? Crowds. On our last trip we did a little resort hopping and went over to check out AoA because I had contemplated getting a family suite. It cemented my decision to stay offsite like nothing ever has. The food court was crowded and loud. The pool was even worse. Lines...

    What about Fastpass+?

    I was so glad that we went before the roll out because I have the same concerns. Only a few resorts were testing in August so it wasn't that big of a deal - the thing that really bothered me was the glitch where you could use old KTTW cards and tickets to pull extra FP. I got stuck behind a...

    Favorite restaurants close to Windsor Hills?

    I know it's a chain, but if you don't have a Bahama Breeze by your house, I highly recommend it. It was the best meal we had when we were there in August.

    Dole Whip - Please Explain

    I love Dole Whips (had 4 when I was there last week)!! I am lactose intolerant, so it's the closest thing to my beloved ice cream that I can have.

    AK Planning Dilemma

    Go to easywdw.com and follow Josh's touring plan. We used it and saw everything with time to spare.

    Thumbs up for Windsor Hills!

    We are here now and we absolutely love Windsor Hills. We stayed here 6 years ago on our last trip and we certainly don't regret coming back. Magical is having space to spread out and still like each other at the end of the trip. The pool wasn't crowded, the drive wasn't any worse than if we...

    Are evenings less crowded?

    We did RD every day this week and left the parks by 12 - 12:30, went back to our resort for a nap and some pool time and then came back to the park around 5 - 5:30 each night (with the exception of AK due to the early closing). We definitely found that the crowds were lower and since we had hit...

    Here now... is it just me or is it much busier than usual?

    Been here all week and I think it's been fabulous. We hit RD every day and left the parks between 12:30ish to 5:00. Using easywdw's recommended parks and touring plans, we hit everything we wanted and never waited in line for more than 20 minutes.

    bug spray?

    I've been here all week and haven't needed bug spray once. I have heard that it might be needed at some of the resorts (POFQ and POR), but haven't used it at the parks at all. I did bring some OFF wipes that I tucked into my park bag so I wouldn't have to carry around a can of spray

    Anyone else worried about the tropical storm?

    Everything I've read about going in August says to expect rain, so that's what I have been planning for. I also have been tracking the tropical storms and there is nothing indicating Orlando will be affected by anything other than the typical rain at this time of year.

    Portable Cell Phone/Tablet Charger Recommendations

    I just bought the Trent iCarrier (and if you scroll down on the amazon site, there is a code to get the smaller iTorch for free when you buy the iCarrier) and it is charging my phone as I speak. :cool1:

    Considering pulling the kids out

    I used to pull the kids out of school until my oldest got into Jr. High. She was sick for a couple of days and had a really hard time catching up (she's an all A honor student, so it's not like she was struggling), so we decided that pulling her out for a vacation wouldn't be a good idea in the...
