    What the DIS Has Meant to Me - 20 Years

    Thanks Jeff. Val and yourself are in that group of cherished friendships. It really is amazing how things work.

    What the DIS Has Meant to Me - 20 Years

    This is a great idea Aaron. I will reminisce a bit about my time here on the DIS. I like Aaron (and I'm sure many others) found the DIS in a very similar way. Being from the frigid north of the border it wasn't easy for me to head down to WDW as frequently as I would like. Discovering WDW in my...

    Hey, the dessert wasn't so bad. So what if I was the only one that ate it.

    So what you might be saying is that possibly for the first time in our 150 year existence we were able to get programming here before you could see it there. Thank you Justin Trudeau.

    This may be of interest to some. Discovery channel (at least up here in Canada) will be highlighting The Viking Sea on Might Cruise Ships this upcoming Sunday. Not sure if that show or schedule is the same for those south of our border. Our programming may be slightly out of date. I have to go...

    Who needs night school? We are going to Newfoundland this summer and I can actually visit the place in which he discovered North America before that Columbus fellow. I will be feverishly taking notes.

    I'm leaning towards Leif myself. Working on the appropriate name changing paperwork.

    Nope, I've been googling Scandinavian pants and shoes. I think I can pull it off.

    I have a question for Kevin. In doing some research I see that Viking suggests "elegant casual" dress after 6:00 and in all dining venues. Basically no jeans. Kevin, would you happen to know if Viking has a trouser lending program similar to that of Disney Cruise Line? Shoes would be nice too...

    birthday pin ( how long is too long when wearing it in park )

    I'm with you Kathy. These are the "rules" we play by. We've been there a number of times around our birthdays but will only wear the buttons on the actual day. It's just a little more special to me that way in my humbled opinion. I know it shouldn't but it drives me crazy when I see an entire...

    Hey, remember when.........

    You know when people say everything old will become new again. Old fads will once again come back into style. So many things seem to be cyclical. I sure hope that's not only for fashion and hairstyles because I sure am missing those bell bottoms and bouffants. That is all. :surfweb:

    The Dreams Unlimited Travel Podcast Discusses Aulani . . .

    This is exactly true. The moment you catch a glimpse of the Ko Olina resorts while driving down the highway it is very obvious which resort is Aulani (a Disney Resort & Spa). It stands out amongst the other sterile looking resorts. I gotta stop reading this or I'll be booking something again...

    Dining Options at Aulani . . .

    It really was the owner that made the experience for us. Pizza was good, better than that at Aulani and the garlic knots were unbelievable. The owner though is the real treat of this place. Such a friendly guy and treated every customer like they were long time friends.

    Agree to Disagree! DISUnplugged Show March 22!

    Pete.....I wanted to stand up and applaud in my office when you said "not everyone gets a trophy". This has been an issue with me for a long time. I am totally on board with the perspective of John, Kevin and Pete. I have absolutely no issue with folks paying more getting more perks. I've been...

    I guess I just need to agree to disagree. I don't see it this way. I don't consider the onsite transportation a perk, I see it more of a convenience. Onsite I can use DME if I so choose, off site can not, that is a benefit. I can use EMH and off site can not, that is a benefit. I can book my FP...

    You can have the same experience. I have yet to be "shut out" of an attraction because I wasn't able to do it at 60 days. 60 days is a perk, a benefit, it's not giving you access to attractions that others can't experience. It's also a perk that is easy for them to do, doesn't greatly affect a...

    Just finding this thread and find it interesting that the term "fair" is being used so often. In terms of fairness both systems were fair, but they are 2 completely different systems. The only real similarity is the term "fastpass". There is not 1 system that is more fair. The old system...
