    Lunch menu for Trail's End

    I have a reservation at Trail's End on Tuesday March 7th at 12 noon. This was made ages ago before the recent operating changes. I have half expected Disney to cancel the reservation, but so far they haven't. Do you think I now have a breakfast buffet reservation? Since the restaurant is...

    Vero Beach 2015 Information & Adoration Thread

    Hi all. We are arriving at Vero Beach from the UK in less than a month! Very excited. Am I able to ship a box of supplies from Walmart to the resort as I would in WDW? Will they hold it a few days for my arrival? I searched the thread but couldn't find this information. Thanks for your help!!

    Wyndham Bonnet Creek

    wayneg, congratulations to your son. A terrific achievement! I have stayed at WBC twice and have another stay upcoming in August 2015. I booked all three stays through Ken and Denise at Vacation Upgrades. Their service is terrific, and I would highly recommend them. For the August stay, I...

    Canceling and rebooking hotel after 60 day FP+

    Last December, I had a stay booked onsite. I made my FP+ reservations at 60 days out. For work related reasons, I ended up having to stay offsite. I cancelled the onsite room within the 30 day window and did not lose my FP+. I am an AP holder, but I don't think that makes a difference.

    One Adult and 7 kids???

    This is a standard US hotel rule designed to prevent unsupervised youths from damaging property, so you are likely to run into this offsite as well. Some hotels, especially in resort locations, set the minimum age at 21 or even higher to avoid college kids on spring break. I agree with an...

    Why can't I book House of Blues?

    I called House of Blues to ask about booking availability. I was advised that reservations will be released about two weeks in advance. At that time, you can either book through Disney or through House of Blues' own website. I will start checking again about a month before our arrival.

    Do you cry when you get to WDW?

    In general, I am a blubbering mess in the MK. I try (unsuccessfully) to hide it from the family, who think I am a bit Disney-nuts. I first went to WDW in 1972 when I was four. The MK was my dad's happy place. We went about every other year after that until I became an ungrateful teen and was...

    Tables in Wonderland

    I am a TIW cardholder and I traveled with my mom, who is not, in September. Restaurants were happy to split the bill between our two credit cards, but only my portion received the discount.

    Vero Beach 2015 Information & Adoration Thread

    We are staying at VB 18-22 August 2015. Do I need to call ahead to make reservations for lounge chairs/umbrellas to use on the beach? If so, do you know how far ahead they can be reserved? I've not been here before, and I know cabanas at the resort pools in WDW typically have to be reserved...

    AP holder room discount question

    When I purchased an AP last year, my voucher was emailed to me immediately. I was able to take the voucher number, link it to MDE, and reserve a room with an AP discount. I then picked up the AP when I arrived at the first park. Perhaps you friend already has the vouchers in email form?

    Remind me to never help friends plan a trip..advice please

    Yes, I have done this. However, it was before FP+. I had no problems and had the deposit for the hotel I didn't end up using refunding quickly. Maybe someone else can report on whether cancelling a hotel ressie even if you have another one can potentially mess up FP+. It seems like almost...

    Disney Park Tickets

    I would look at Undercover Tourist. They offer discounted US Disney tickets and you can customize the features you want, such as park hopping. They ship real tickets (not vouchers) from Scotland for their UK customers. I received my last order in about a week. There is no shipping charge...

    Will you be restoring the 'hovering' function?

    Thanks for this. It works to restore hovering. However, my device is touchscreen, so then I can't type or navigate properly. Is there a fix that maintains touchscreen functionality?

    Will you be restoring the 'hovering' function?

    The new boards are great. The only functionality that I am missing is the ability to hover over a thread title to see the content of that initial post. Will that be restored?

    Vero Beach 2015 Information & Adoration Thread

    I'm curious about this too. I've heard that there are occasionally AP holder discounts, but I've not been able to find any historical information about when they might occur.

    Has anyone used Orlando Attraction Tickets?

    Thanks for this! It's encouraging to hear that you had no problems receiving your tickets. Have you used the tickets yet that you bought?

    Has anyone used Orlando Attraction Tickets?

    Yes, we are staying on site. If I buy vouchers, I would do so directly through Disney so they would be linked in MDE and we would be covered for FP+. I like the idea of having real tickets and not standing in line at guest services for the same price as the vouchers. I'm just not sure about...
