    Give me your favorite places to eat near Bonnet Creek

    We ate at Flippers and the pizza is really good. But it's more of a gourmet pizza shop, so the prices are a little higher. I would definitely pick it over a Pizza Hut, though. They were slow, but their service was really good...they gave us an extra pizza because they thought the first one was...

    Any recent stories of FP- and off-site?

    Just got back from an offsite stay. Our first trip, so I have nothing to compare it too, but I think it went pretty well with the exception of our Epcot day. We followed easywdw recommended days (more or less) and were able to ride everything we wanted multiple times--keeping in mind that our...

    Best way to bring money to wdw?!?

    I'm surprised that only one person suggested credit card. That's all we ever use wherever and whenever we travel. I used a CC to buy a bottle of water and no one batted an eye. I did bring some cash as well, but I only used about $10 in ones for tip since we stayed at a timeshare. I would have...

    Best unusual packed item?

    This is a random one, but I threw in a little $1 soap dish--the kind with the nubs to keep the soap dry. It kept the soap from touching the shower, which always skeeves me out (I know, a little OCD). I really liked having it. Along the same lines, pump hand soap for the sink--it's just easier...

    The 79 degree delemia

    Shorts, definitely. Or maybe lightweight pants, but not jeans.

    Jedi Training at HS tips

    We just did Jedi training this week and it was great! My 7 yo DS loved it. Just to reiterate what everyone said...get there early! The family in line ahead of us were trying for a second time. The first time they tried they got there at 9:10 and it was already too late. I think we got to the...

    Bippidi Boppidi fun!

    We just did BBB for the first time. DD is 3.5 yo. She loved it, but I disliked the fact that her hair (the bun) only held for a couple of hours. I had read that the hairstyle really lasts, so I was disappointed when it was falling out by mid-afternoon. We brought our own dress and changed there...

    Swimming at WBC before check-in?

    Would they be able to reach the pools without a room key? Thank for the info, disboards is the best! :thumbsup2

    Swimming at WBC before check-in?

    We are staying at WBC with another family (rented through Ken Price). My name is on the reservation, so I think I have to be the one to check-in. If the other family gets there first, would it be possible for them to go to the pool area? Is there a bathroom they could change in? We're just...

    Souvenir for 7 year old girl

    Pick-a-pearl in Epcot or Downtown Disney?

    Jeans, Compression Stockings Veins and Sweat!

    I was going to suggest the same. Maybe something like the material that camping/outdoor clothing is made of? I think it would be a lot cooler and quicker to dry. I have a varicose vein also (from crossing my legs too much, I think) and it's amazing how much better my leg feels with...

    How wet do you get on Kali River Rapids?

    Does it matter how light or heavy you are in terms of which way the raft spins? In other words is it less likely for the little kids to get soaked if the heavy adults are on the opposite side?

    For anyone who has been to WDW and on a DCL cruise?

    I haven't been to WDW yet, but I have cruised DCL and I will say that the cruise is really fun, but it's not Disney 24/7. It's more just cruising with Disney flavor. There is Disney theming and some events (lilke meet-and-greets, dance parties, etc.) but I would guess it's not at all like going...

    If i ordered MNSSHP tix and now one cant go, can i do anything?

    FYI, your tuition does not come even CLOSE to covering the cost of running a university. There is more to it than just paying professor salaries--in fact, I would say for most places that is a paltry sum compared to all the other expenses (building/operating costs, administrative salaries...

    Help with which park, which day please!

    A little background. It's me, DH, DS (7), and DD (3). Since my oldest is a boy, my little girl isn't particularly girly as she likes to copy her older brother and play with cars, LEGOs, etc. She does like princesses, but she's not nuts about them. My current plan (no hoppers), first three...

    EasyWDW or Touring Plans for best parks?

    He'd probably tell you that for a true scientific test, you'd have to compare notes with another family using Touring Plans for the exact same dates. So, no extra trip for you. :rotfl2:

    Any OCTOBER guests received FP+ testing invite?

    We're staying off-site, last week in October. I've linked one of my paper tickets from UT to MDE in the hopes that I'll be notified in case we need to schedule FP+ stuff. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread too.

    What to pack for a trip in October?

    This is so true! I live in the south and people are wearing parkas with mittens in weather a northern would consider warm and wear a t-shirt!

    Help me with my schedule for DH/DS while the girls are in BBB/CRT

    That's a good point. Astro Orbiter is only a maybe anyway. I'm giving DH the list of things to consider and they can choose to ride or not. DH is a little prone to motion sickness so I've already told him he might want to skip AO. Is Barnstormer less intimidating? Should I try this order...

    Disney princesses- when does it start?

    I don't have an opinion about the CRT since we haven't done it yet, but I'll tell you a story. My daughter was just under 2 yo when we went on a Disney cruise. Up until that point, she had not really had any exposure to the princesses. We came out of a restaurant and there was a big princess...
