    You can't buy tix with gift cards

    I am starting my vacation by being really mad at Universal. I bought $400 worth of gift cards to buy tickets. It says they can used for tickets right on the back of them. HOWEVER, I found out they can only be used in person, where the tix will cost $80 more (for 4 tix) than if I bought them...

    Comparing Kali to Splash?

    I rode Kali for the first time Saturday. I was very disappointed at just how short it was. They probably couldn't have made it any shorter than they did - one small 25 foot hill and then done. Thunder Rapids at Cedar point, even without any theme or story is much better. Disney could have...

    Fast passes - are there some "off the grid"

    Several years ago the Fast pass systems had a few quirks. One of them was that a few FP rides weren't networked in with the others. So, you could get a Haunted Mansion FP at 10:00 am for say 11:30 return, but then you could get a Splash mountain one at 10:10 because the HM was not connected to...

    Year of Million Dreams -- anyone else get something yet? Post your wishes won here!

    In July we were eating at a restaurant in Disneyland with my family and my SIL and her 2 sons. Just as we were being seated, a stranger gave her the remainder of a booklet of meal tickets. We used it to take about $60 off our bill. Thanks to whoever you were - you made my day with...

    HS Strategy with Toy Story Mania....

    I can't believe how long these lines are! We managed to see Nemo at Disneyland by walking very fast at rope drop and getting there with about a 20 minute wait. The regular wait was about 2 to 3 hours out in the hot sun. We are doing AK Monday morning and then HS in the afternoon, so I...

    Epcot Ice Station Cool

    Well, It's been 3 years since we were last at Epcot. (Went to DL last year instead). I am looking at a recent map of EPCOT and to my horror.......I don't see anything about Ice Station Cool! Where did it go? Is it gone? How will I survive the 90+ heat without that Watermelon flavored soda...

    We are getting ready for our 17th trip to WDW in June. We are planning to arrive on a Saturday and drive over to Coco Beach for the first night. Then 7 nights at the Hilton Grand Vacations next to Sea World. We always try to get at least 1 or 2 nights at either Coco Beach or Fort...

    Spill your secrets on affording Disneyland!

    If you are considering the Disney cruise line, use their website to browse the prices for different dates. We went on a 4 day 3 years ago - Spring break week was $4,200 for cheapest cabin (cat 12). The week AFTER spring break was $1,800 (cat 12). I had to take the kids out of school, but they...

    Rude (?) behavior during the flag ceremony

    I agree, you should always stand. Unfortunately, you can always find a few people at any sporting event that need to drink their beer more that respect those who fought for them to be able to drink it. Just my opinion.

    Pirate's Lair at Tom Sawyer Island

    We are going to DL in July. Can't wait to see the new pirate island and Fantasmic on Rivers of America. We've been to WDW 16 times but only 1 time to DL 15 years ago and the river was drained to build fantasmic, so we didn't get to do Tom's island.

    Need COMMANDO tips for tomorrow MK--edited..for seasoned Disney-ite

    Magicourway has a great plan. Here's my two cents on how improve it: 1.Get a FP for POOH, then ride Dumbo (I always park the stroller here, leave it, and carry our 2 your old in Fantasy land, it saves us time) 2. Get a FP for Peter Pan, then ride Pooh 3. Peter Pan (if wait is more...

    One man's dream...A great attraction!

    I showed my kids the multiplane camera and told them how it made cartoons 3 dimensional instead of flat drawings. Also, I showed them the pictures of the original Mickey Mouse costumes that people used to wear (like the ones Walt borrowed from the Ice Capades). We laughed at how ugly these...

    One man's dream...A great attraction!

    Thanks to someone here on the DIS who recommended One man's dream at MGM. My family and I visited it and we really liked it. I have always been a big fan of Walt and I learned some new facts about him here. My kids were fascinated with the exhibits showing the different castles at the parks...

    Fastpass advise, please

    Be sure to look at the signs that show when the FPs will be set to return. The return time might be too far in the future or during some event like dinner reservations or the parade, so you would not want to get them. During our recent trip I went over to Peter Pan around 11:15 to get FPs...
