    Exchanging/Upgrading AMEX Rewards Universal Orlando Tickets for Annual Pass

    We just did this in August. We got a ticket from AMEX rewards for my husband and upgraded to an annual pass inside the park. I called Universal beforehand to see if this would be an issue and they assured me everything would be fine. I was still nervous, but everything worked like a charm...

    Line cutting and line saving

    I saw this exact thing on Forbidden Journey in early August. I was waiting in the single rider line and a group of about 3 or 4 people walked up behind me. There was a slight gap in the regular line beside us (maybe someone wasn't paying attention and lagged a bit). This group from the single...

    Flip flops on rides?

    Are there any rides where wearing flip flops is a major inconvenience - like they have to be stored in a locker? At Soarin' in Epcot you have to leave flip flops on the floor, but they are there waiting for you when the ride is over. I'd consider this no inconvenience at all. Thanks!

    Be Our Guest Lunch FastPass Thread [PLEASE read the FAQs in the first post!]

    Well, I'm sorry... but it WAS true for me. I tried to book after the reservation was completed on day 5. Tried again on day 6. Tried again on day 7. I could only book on day 8. I'm glad it worked for you, but to tell me that my experience "is not true" is the same as calling me a liar.

    Be Our Guest Lunch FastPass Thread [PLEASE read the FAQs in the first post!]

    On our vacation last week I held a BOG fastpass reservation for day 5 of our vacation. I was only able to book another fastpass on the morning of day 8. I made it for day 9. I had read that you can only hold one fastpass for the first 7 days of your vacation and this proved true for us.

    Is the Tea at the Grand Floridian worth it?

    Thank you so much for the review and pictures! It was really helpful. Citricos does look like a much more comfortable setting. It seems like I always get stuck sitting on the bench at Garden View with no back support. I'm torn about keeping our reservation. It's a bit of a tradition with my...

    Is the Tea at the Grand Floridian worth it?

    I would love to hear your thoughts after your tea at Citricos. We have had the tea service several times at Garden View and loved it, but are booked for the tea at Citricos in early August. Thanks!!

    August 2012 Car Rental Thread

    I checked the Dollar site today and there was a Orlando city special for a full size available to me that wasn't there previously. I bumped my mid-size up to a full size. Just FYI.

    Help w/ telling the kids...

    I had this happen to me as a little girl. I was one of 6 kids and my parents took my younger brother, who was about 4 and was also the baby of the family, to Washington, DC to visit one of our aunts. My parents explained it that my brother was my aunt's favorite (like THAT made me feel...

    Is it worth it to switch to a moderate?

    I've stayed at Pop 3 times and at three of the moderates. With Pop, you will have a "fun" atmosphere. If you upgrade to a moderate, you can have a "lovely" atmosphere. That - along with the convenience of a fridge and coffee maker - would be the major things that might make me upgrade to a...

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

    I am beginning to research at trip for summer 2011. If I buy the two park/7 day tickets that are currently on sale for $99.99, will these get me into the Harry Potter portion of the park? Or is it going to be a separate park which will require a separate ticket? Hope this question makes...

    What is the earliest I can check in and get our tickets

    Is there any problem with one person checking in the entire family (me, DH, two kids)? We will probably stay at Pop for one night before our ressie at CR. I thought I might head over to CS early to check-in and pickup our tickets, then meet up w/ the family outside MK.

    If you go up to the top of the Resort board, you'll see several threads that are always there. They're called "stickies" because they are pinned there by the moderators (I assume). One of these stickies says "WDW Resort FAQ and Information Threads". You can open that sticky and will be able...

    Subscribing. I wonder if this thread will make its way to the Resort FAQ sticky? That would be helpful!

    POP Century and your Garmin GPS

    That's where I found the pre-programmed POI's from mousesavers so helpful. It has a whole list of Disney related locations already entered. You just download the POI's to your Garmin and you don't have to worry about the address. You just find Pop Century Resort on the list of POI's and it...

    Toy Story Mania - Mania???

    The FP strategy if for those people who like the ride so much that they will want to ride it twice. If you only care to ride it once, then getting in the standby line first thing is probably the way to go.
