    Family of 5 at POR - advice on space?

    There are 3 smallish drawers under the Murphy bed. I used one for each of my 3 kids. My husband and I used the shelf above the hanging rod in the sink area as drawers for ourselves. It isn't much room, but we were there for 8 days in December so we had shorts, jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc...

    What time to leave POR to get to 8:30 Hoop De Doo Show?

    I agree with at least 2 hours. What if a bus doesn't pick you up right away? What if the first boat is full and you have to wait for a second one ? I say better safe than sorry- I wouldn't want to miss anything if such an expensive show.

    how would you pronounce this first name?

    The Mary, Merry, Marry debate occurred in a theater class of mine in college. It is definitely a regional thing. Upstate New York pronounced them all the same, downstate (where I am from) all different. In the theater world, they should all be pronounced differently.

    Cooking my First Thanksgiving

    Try to find recipes for side dishes that you can make the day before and then just heat up the day of. Most casserole type dishes are easy to do this way. I have recipes for green bean casserole, corn casserole, and sweet potato casserole that I make every thanksgiving. If you are interested let...

    Dining plan wisdom?

    The easiest thing to do is go to allears.net. They have the menus for all the restaurants. If a restaurant has a specialty drink included on the plan it should tell you. They also list what is a snack on the plan. In general, the drink is usually whatever comes our of the soda fountain or...

    I can't believe I saw this.....

    The kids aren't just hanging in the wall. It is a seat that is screwed in and there are straps to buckle them in. I don't think it's any more dangerous than a changing table. People don't use the straps and the kids can roll right off.

    I can't believe I saw this.....

    My public library has baby seats that are attached to the wall. You would think a place like Disney, with so many infants visiting, would install these in at least some of the stalls.

    DVC and Deluxe should get more FP+ and an earlier window

    We all pay the same admission price for park entry. Isn't entry to the park what gets you fast passes? Being a DVC member gets you on property. You can do whatever you want there; you don't have to go to a park. It was your choice to join as it is others choice to stay at a value or where ever...

    Biergarten question

    They don't pull you into the entertainment at Biergarten. There is a dance floor if you want to dance. The price range depends on the time of year you go. I'm not sure if they are listed on line. You might have to call.

    Can you still buy Mickey rain ponchos in the parks?

    The last time I bought them, I think they were 8 or 9 dollars. They are much better quality than the thin ones from the dollar store. Dollar store ones stick to you - it's very annoying. I still have all the ones I bought - no rips. I have heard that if they do rip they will replace it for you...

    What drinks are included on the disney dining plan?

    I think it is pretty much what comes out of the soda machine. There might be lemonade or iced tea. Other than that, bottled water.

    Double stroller for 5 and 7 yo???

    On my first trip, my daughters were 15 months, 6 years and 8 years. We brought an umbrella stroller from home for the baby(so we could have it to and from the hotel) and rented a double in the parks for the other 2. We get to the park at opening, never go back to the room and stay till closing...

    Kind of funny how schools are having a "fall break" when it is still summer!

    Do Parks Open Earlier than Posted?

    Is today an EMH day? Last year I remember HS opening about 15 minutes early, but not any other park.

    Finishing Touches Need Your Help

    I think two little boys would enjoy Crystal Palace a lot. The character interaction there is great. If you're little one acts up at BOG would you be able to have your nanny take him back to the room and put him to bed so you can enjoy?

    Taking the kiddos out of school for a WDW trip...

    Two years ago I took my kids out for five days for a Disney trip. They were 3rd grade, 8th grade, and 11th grade. I told the elementary teacher and she sent home a journal for my daughter to write in about the trip. The 8th and 11th graders asked the teachers for work about 3 weeks before. Some...

    Ohana for those that don't eat meat?h

    One of the skewers they serve is shrimp. They also serve noodles and vegetables. Last year it was broccoli and snap peas-I don't know if that had changed. I've heard that you can still request salad even though it's not on the menu anymore.
