    News Round Up 2021

    I work in healthcare data, and have been working on the Covid project in my company. Last fall we thought we could thread the needle and booked a May the 4th Week trip for Star Wars. We landed it perfectly! Our whole party of 4 will be fully vaccinated by mid April. I feel like the...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We have a May trip planned at CBR. This is our first stay at CBR since the Skyliner was completed. If we request a room on the Aruba side and board at the Riviera station, do we have to deboard at the main station and get back in line to get to DHS, or does the gondola pass through the station...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We have a first week of May trip planned and are staying at CB. After several videos lately of super long Skyliner lines, is there a strategy to avoid those if possible? Should we request something closer to the Riviera Skyliner station? Or should we still try to be near the main Skyliner Hub...

    Make ADR's for 4 instead of 2?

    Last night, 61 days before we head to Disney, our Military Son dropped a bomb that he and his wife might be able to join us! (Getting leave scheduled is a challenge). They aren't positive but they are finding out this week. We didn't know what to do about reservations as it was just going to be...

    Dear Disney- Please blow this ride up and remove all trace from the park

    During our first trip back in 2003 my daughter actually threw up after the Alien (before it was converted into Stitch) Ride it scared her so much. And this was a girl who would ride anything, even the scariest roller coasters. Every time we have gone back we have made sure to ride it again for...

    Best Sunglasses for Traveling the World!

    I was reading "The Complete Walt Disney World 2012" book in preparation for our trip at the end of the month... and sunglasses where covered! An average of 210 pairs of sunglasses are lost each day. Sunglasses are the number 1 lost item, followed by hats. I just picked up a pair of $25...

    We've set a date

    Congrats!!!! As a (retiring) wedding photographer, I spend almost every weekend around couples getting married. If anything, I have learned that love is love. Love comes in all shapes and sizes, and isn't something that is easily defined. I really wish I had gotten to shoot a gay wedding...

    can you reccommend a tripod

    I picked up one of these last year: http://www.amazon.com/Ravelli-Professional-Carbon-Camera-Release/dp/B004RCHX0W/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top And I have been very happy with it. The tripod is light enough to travel with and solid enough for my Nikon D300 + Grip + 70-200 F/2.8.

    Gay Days... crowded?

    I was recently talking to my brother about the trip my family is planning for 2011 to WDW... it turns out we are going to be there during Gay Days. We are much more socially liberal than his family, and have no issues with this... but his comment about how he would never go that week got me to...

    Online ADRs Thread (Updated FAQ 9/9/9)

    I was up at 7am EST this morning on the phone getting all of our reservations. The CM told us then that the system would be online soon (she though days, not hours) and that we could look them up at that point. When the online system came up an hour later we where able to pull up our...

    Making ADR in the am - what should I make first

    If you are staying on property and can reserve on a 90+10, Its not as hard to get what you want. Just be flexible and you will be fine. Keep in mind that the sliding 10 is different for everyone. The old advice of calling up at 7:00am sharp and yelling at the CM helping you as soon as they...

    The CDC has updated the information for SARS http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/casedefinition.htm SARS is not an airborne virus as it was originally thought. It appears that SARS is spread through 'close contact' of secretions. If you practice good hand washing techniques, your chances of...

    Should we cancel becuase of SARS??

    More people died from the Flu last year than SARS. Remember the West Nile scare from last year? Or the Limes Disease scare from a few years ago? Well, mosquitoes are still carrying West Nile. And ticks still carry Lime's Disease. The SARS story is so big because the Chinese Press was...
