    Disney has extended CEO Bob Chapek’s contract for three more years, the company announced Tuesday.

    Our kids made several trips to WDW growing up, and there was never a time that any of us didn't want to go again. My son and his wife went there on their honeymoon. Our daughter chose WDW for her senior trip after high school. Last August when our granddaughter was born it was less than a week...

    I REALLY need a Capture Your Moment reservation

    I asked that question because I tried one day at 6am eastern and nothing was available. The next day at 5:45am eastern, the date that was 60 days out showed that it was active and no reservations were available - 15 minutes before it should have been active. And unfortunately, I need this on...

    I REALLY need a Capture Your Moment reservation

    At least I'm not the only one. :mad: I'm actually on hold with WDW reservations now to see if they can answer the questions I put in my original post. I'll post what I find out.

    I REALLY need a Capture Your Moment reservation

    Our trip is in December, and my brother is planning to ask his girlfriend to marry him in the Magic Kingdom our first day there. I'm a planner, so I did my research and decided that I would pay for a CYM photographer to take pics of the big moment. I started a month ago looking at daily...

    Bring on the "Christmas Bash" or whatever they're going to call it! - UPDATE: Disney announced 7/12 - VERY MERRIEST! #Halfwaytotheholidays

    We're considering going on 16 Dec if there is a party on that date. We'll be at WDW for a special event in our family and we'd planned on doing it on the 17th when we hit the MK on our first day in the parks - along with a "Capture Your Moment" photographer to take pictures of the event. Does...

    After a 9+ year hiatus we're going back in Mar 2020

    After making 9 trips to WDW from Sep 1995 to Dec 2010, we've taken 9 years off when the kids' activities didn't allow for proper planning and execution of a WDW trip. That changed when our daughter announced to us last week that she wants to go back with us and a friend for her senior trip...

    December Hours Have Been Updated

    The Official WDW site hasn't made those changes. We're going to be there the 17th-23rd, so I'd really like to know if someone can find these same changes somewhere else.

    Photopass CD and photo book question

    I've found the offer to get the Photopass CD and photo book for $149. The photo book "deal" isn't spelled out well enough for my satisfaction, so I have a couple of questions... 1) Will Disney send me a blank photo book that I print the pictures for, or will I be able to choose the pictures...

    You Know You're Addicted to WDW When You watch Golf to Get a Glimpse of The World

    You're not alone. My wife and I watched a replay Friday night of the round that was played during the day. We always stay at SOG, so it feels like home to us too. Of course, we'll be there in 33 days, so that might have had something to do with it too. :yay::yay::yay:

    Memorial Day weekend crowds

    We're thinking about making a quick trip to US/IoA over memorail day weekend. We would be arriving on the Friday May 22nd, and leaving on Wednesday the 27th. Based on the DIS podcast I listened to the other day, I wasn't expecting to come on here and find that the crowd levels were so high...

    How to surprise your kids w/ Disney trip? Inspired by Bruce50's thread

    One the same trip where we shot the video of my kids, my brother and his wife surprised their sons with a WDW trip. They hinted that they were going to the beach. Their sons love going to the beach, but had never been to WDW, and had no idea that their cousins would be there too. They have...

    I highly recommend keeping your trip a secret (Youtube link added)

    Funny you should say that, that's one of my son's favorite songs. It's hard to tell, but he's wearing a Van Halen t-shirt in the video.

    I highly recommend keeping your trip a secret (Youtube link added)

    Yeah, in order to keep the secret, I had to tell him a little white lie. He was in the middle of youth football season, and was going to have to miss a game. The trip was planned long before he decided to play. But I couldn't tell him the REAL reason he would have to miss the game. So I made...

    No, it was #6 for our son and #3 for our daughter. (There's a bigger age difference than it appears.)

    It's tough to do, but we kept our trip this past October a secret from the kids for nine months. In return, we have this memory forever... We're going to Disney World !?!?!?!?!?!?!? youtube link

    I can't believe we've made it!

    We have a couple of options we're considering. One is to give them an invitation to breakfast tomorrow in the castle. The other is to give them the caps that we bought that they can use too collect character's autographs, and simply tell them that they will need the caps while we're gone. Then...
