    Best flip-flops for walking around parks??

    Adidas fit foam stink after getting wet in my experience. I had to throw mine out last summer after 2 months because I couldn't stand to keep them in my house because of the smell (and my shoes never smell). I did wear them at the beach though (ocean) so I'm not sure if that affected them. I...

    Dated Christmas Ornaments

    Every time we go to Disney we get a dated Christmas ornament. This year we'll be there Dec. 29/11 to Jan.7/12. We'd like to get a 2011 and 2012 ornament. Will the 2012 ones be out that early? Anyone know?

    Disney YES Program Open to non-groups

    How early does the schedule come out for the courses? We are travelling in late Dec 2011/early January 2012. I don't suppose they run this program during the holiday season? My kids (11,13 & 15) would love some of these courses.

    Splash Mountain refurb - how often?

    Our last vacation to Disney World was in February 2010. Splash Mountain was scheduled to open after refurb the day we left, so we didn't get to ride it. We are heading back Dec.29/11 - Jan.7/12 and Splash Mountain is on the top of our must-do list since we missed it last time. Any idea how...

    New Years Eve

    I attended NYE at MGM as a teenager and there was a great show with live bands (we saw the Monkeys & Tiny Tim amongst others). Do they still do things like that, and if so, will there be an entertainment line up posted so you can decide which park you want to go to? I've read that the parks...

    marathon weekend - family 5K questions

    I just realized that we will be at Disney for the marathon weekend and we want to do the family 5k. Has anyone done it? How early do you have to be there before the race? Do you get to stay in the park after with your marathon admission ($50.00) or do you have to use a park day off your...

    Just Back! Quick rundown and random gossip

    We too were there 20-27 and had a great time with the low crowds. We hopped 3 parks on Friday, and were shocked at MK. It was nutty. Glad we were just there to see the afternoon parade & not waiting in lines for rides!

    accomodations for 12

    I'm looking for a hotel that is close to WDW that could accomodate a family of 12. We are willing to split into a couple of rooms obviously. In our group there is 1 couple with 3 kids, a couple with 1 child and two couples with no kids. Hopefully something not too expensive. Breakfast...

    Feeling guilty about taking kids out of school for vacation.

    We took ours out for 6 days in October (Gr.3, Gr.1 & JK). Luckily we had very accomodating teachers :) My Gr.1 was given all his work ahead of time (there wasn't much). My Gr.3 was given a bit ahead of time and the rest when we came back. She worked solid for one Saturday when we got back...

    Finding Mary Poppins in the Parks

    A month ago we saw her at UK in Epcot. She planted a big red kiss on my 6yo ds' forehead (he left it on all day!). It was so sweet :)

    Is Honey I shrunk the playground open yet?

    It opened ahead of schedule, the day we were there.....Wed. Oct 6th. We found out it was fixed ahead of schedule *after* we'd just told the kids the one attraction they were wanting to go in so badly was closed (insert tantrums times 3 here). We took them over to 'see' it and voila.....a CM...

    All 4 parks in 5 days... Is it possible?

    We did it, although we didn't plan to :) We started out on Sun.3rd doing Downtown Disney in the afternoon. That night was MNSSHP. My dd got sick at the party and Disney gave us tickets for the Fri.8th MNSSHP. On Monday dd spent the day in bed recovering. We'd lost 1 whole day AND had to...
