    Disney Springs Check In Time

    I totally agree with this, last year we were still at Disney on the coach when we hit the 3 hour mark for our flight. We made it with plenty of time but it stressed me out at the time. You get your pickup time the day before/day of slid under your room door. I think you can contact someone and...

    Illuminations and Happily Ever After Cruises - Find One To Share

    Would you have room for two more people? My wife and I would love to come along.

    MCO Lounge?

    I went to the club on the way back to the UK last month. To be totally honest, I don't feel like it was great value for money. By the time magical express dropped us off and we got through security we only had about 2 hours before the flight departed, we boarded the virgin flight about an hour...

    Upgrading to an AP?

    Fantastic, thanks for the help. I find it very odd that there isn't a simple formula that Disney uses to calculate this. if I can get away with $300 or so each then it seems like a sensible thing to do.. but I will have to bust out my calculator and work out where the sweet spot it

    Upgrading to an AP?

    TLDR: How much approx does an AP cost when upgrading from park tickets? We are visiting WDW in October for 2 and a bit weeks, the 16 day park ticket was fine for us but then Hanson decided to announce their eat to the beat dates and so my wife made me change all my well organised plans :mad...

    Virgin Atlantic - Premium Economy

    I'm not sure what was going on when we booked our holiday with Virgin (yes we went with Virgin holidays rather than direct with Disney.. not sure if that was a smart move still or not.. I guess I will find out at 60 days when FPs open up). Anyway.. PE upgrade for both legs of our trip was...

    Sunglasses

    I suggest you get a pair that have polarizing lenses, these will cut down on the reflections etc. Anywhere that sells sunglasses should be able to offer this as it's quite common to get this on sunglasses. I have used glasses direct before now who should be able to provide you with designer...

    Where is everyone hiring cars from?

    Despite the Virgin package we booked coming with a car, I have decided to not take that (saves £200 or so) and use Disney busses only. I am still not at all sure if it's a good idea or not, we are staying at Port Orleans Riverside in October. Last time we went without a car we were staying at...

    BA or Virgin?

    I haven't flown to Orlando with BA but flew to Baltimore earlier this year with BA It was OK but nothing to write home about. I have flown twice (three times on Saturday!!) with Virgin. I am much happier going with Virgin, I don't have any real reason as to why but to me at least Virgin seem...

    Torn about whether to add a celebration

    I say do it.. it's something to celebrate, live life, enjoy love! The fact that you are thinking about means that it's important to you (and rightly so). No one is going to pull you aside and ask to inspect your marriage certificate.

    Pound Panic

    I just transfered £500 this morning so ended up with about $600 on my pre-pay card. I was reading this morning that by the end of the year the £ could be in parity with the $. Now how much of this will and won't happen I don't know. As Wilma-bride said there isn't much we can do about it and...

    Direct Flights - Thomson Dreamliner v Virgin & MCO v Sanford

    Yes I agree.. there wasn't any upselling that I can remember on my flight.

    Direct Flights - Thomson Dreamliner v Virgin & MCO v Sanford

    I have done both from Gatwick, The flight and plane itself I would say the Dreamliner wins... The price difference meant we could fly premium with Thompson rather than economy with Virgin.. When we fly Virgin we get economy seats in on the top floor of the plane (AKA bubble). This has the...

    3 Sim was great advice - thanks

    Yes I have found that my iphone wants to connect to tmobile which is truly terrible around WDW. Forcing the phone to stay on AT&T had much better results for me as well.

    Questions, questions...

    Hi stellamara, I haven't done more than a few hours solo in Magic Kingdom before but I didn't feel awkward or anything like that. I went solo to San Fransisco a few years ago which was ok, but I'm the sort of person that would have had more fun with someone else.. I think I missed the 'should...

    Room Only -> Full Stay

    Thanks for your quick reply. Great! I didn't put too much thought into that, but it's a good point, I quite like your idea of dropping off the big bags on route. I can get up at 6:00am, my wife on the other hand seems incapable of getting up early despite the extra 5 hours she would have...

    Room Only -> Full Stay

    Hi everyone, TLDR: Do I need to check into our second resort before we can enter a park? In October we are staying one night at Pop and then the rest of our stay at CSR. Yes I know it's a bit odd doing this, we decided to upgrade to CSR after our initial booking and Pop is a resort we have...

    Time from Splash Mountain to Chef Mickey's

    I would think about moving the FP time if I were you. Cutting it a bit fine and did you think about being potentially moist while at CM?

    Mickeys halloween party....worth it for the experience?

    Even if you just want to ride on rides and do nothing else I think the party is worth it. Past two years we have done it on 31/10 and every ride apart from 7dmt was a walk on. Fireworks were great and free sweets. What's not to love? You don't have to dress up, I never have and you won't feel...
