    Oh the guilt!

    We have taken all of our kids to Disney at young ages. First born @ 3, the other 2 @ 2. That said, it depends on what your plans are and that decision is a personal one as you know your kids best. We tend to hit the parks early and come back early afternoon for swims (youngest would nap) and...

    Peterborough (& Area) Disers, I have driving questions to WDW.

    Hey Canadave! Nice to see you still on here. Taking the I-75 route is in my opinion the best way to go at that time of year. Now again if I was driving I would wait to put my snows on until after I got back as you will wear them down quicker in the southern states. Snow tires work best at 7C...

    Peterborough (& Area) Disers, I have driving questions to WDW.

    If you are leaving at that time of day I would take the 407. You will just sit on the 401 for an extra few hours at minimum. Rob

    Fly or drive?

    Well said! It is a 24 hour drive for us which can be grueling but we love seeing the landscape changes and going through Atlanta and Cincinnati. The vacation starts for us when the van door closes in our driveway. Rob

    WHEN to take kids out of school?

    We just got back last weekend from Disney for two weeks. The kids missed 11 days at school. I see no need to clear our vacation with the teachers but did warn them and ask if there was material that the kids could go over on the van ride down. They had 24 hours to and from Disney to study. We...

    disney refillable mugs

    We were just there and the mugs worked well. You can fill them unlimited every 2.5 minutes. You actually get about a mug and a half as there computer over estimates a "fill". So every 2.5 min you get a mug and a half. Rob

    Be Our Guest popularity?

    We had an adr for lunch and got right in. Maybe they are not doing that any longer? We even pre-ordered our meals. We had our food within minutes of sitting down. It was a good lunch but not one I would have stood in line for. I have heard from some that dinner wasn't worth it but again each...

    Buffets charging kid as adult?

    I think what people are forgetting is that it is not about how much food children or adults consume. It is about how much food is taken from the buffet. It is sickening to see how much food is wasted by people. I actually watched a kid at chef mickeys stack his plate 3 levels with pancakes...

    Doofenshmirtz Slush at Epcott?

    It is in a little hut beside a bunch of drums that your kids will want to play on. We bought two of them. Nothing special, but the container is cool. I had lots of people at food and wine stop me to ask where they could get one. I believe it is near Morocco. Rob

    Ohana dinner?

    They didn't even have the lady playing the ukelele when we were there last week. I heard she teaches hula lessons in the foyer at 3. I hope for others sake it is just temporary. Rob

    Ohana dinner?

    What I think they need to do then is maybe compromise and have certain times that they run entertainment and then just restaurant time with light music. From what I got from the CM it was couples without children complaining. So what about running entertainment from 4-7 and then quiet time? That...

    RFID chip in paper cups?

    Even just last week I saw people with last years mugs filling them with coffee and hot chocolate. I would think that their cost level on those items would be higher than the pop machine. If your gonna do it than do it all at once would be my plan. Rob

    Ohana dinner?

    Ohana has cancelled all the entertainment as of last week when we were there twice due to complaints from guests saying that the hula lessons, Conga lines and coconut races were disturbing their meals. Currently there is no entertainment except low music in the background. We took friends last...

    RFID chip in paper cups?

    What I don't understand is that the RFID chip is only for the pop machine. You can still use old mugs for coffee and hot chocolate as there is no reader for them. Rob
