    Recovering from Broken Ankle - Advice Needed

    Thanks JennyDrake - Great suggestion with the bag and ice! My doctor said to bring the air cast and I gave him the side eye on that one. Even in good health Disney walking is hard and my ankle is just mush right now. I am walking some in the air cast now but I have a limp and I'm very slow...

    Recovering from Broken Ankle - Advice Needed

    I appreciate all the helpful responses. I'm looking at renting a scooter now. The only downside is that I'm staying at Wilderness Lodge and reading some FAQs have seen that the smaller boats can't take the scooters. We have an early morning breakfast at Crystal Palace one morning and the...

    Recovering from Broken Ankle - Advice Needed

    Baklava - thanks for the input. I agree. My parents tend to push the "tough it out" attitude but in this case I want to make sure I'm also able to enjoy myself and not do damage. I found out today that the bone has not yet fully healed but I can still wear an air cast. I think I'll air on...

    Recovering from Broken Ankle - Advice Needed

    That is good to know! I didn't realize they would hold things for me like that. It would make it easier to have the walking boot as a backup plan.

    Recovering from Broken Ankle - Advice Needed

    Hey everybody! I'm a veteran Disney vacationer but this will be the first time going under these circumstances. I broke my ankle seven weeks back and also did some soft tissue damage. I've been wearing a walking boot and that will be coming off tomorrow. After that I need to wear an air cast...

    Buying Tickets via Disney website - FastPass+ question

    We are at the window to be able to do our FastPass+ selections and I have not yet bought our tickets. So I'm scrambling trying to do that. My question is if I buy tickets through the Disney site it says I can do will call or have the tickets shipped. Does that mean I can't link them and setup...

    Crowds this past week (Nov 12-Nov 18)?

    This was our first year doing this time of year and we loved it. I don't have anything to compare it to as we usually go around Halloween instead. We thought the crowds were really low except when we visited the Magic Kingdom but that park is smaller so you notice the crowds more anyway. We...

    Upgrade to Deluxe Dining?

    I'm thinking about upgrading to Deluxe dining for our trip if Disney does indeed offer the free DDP later this fall/winter for packages. Am I correct that it offers basically 3 meals a day - QS or sit down and with those meals you get appetizer, entree and dessert as well as two snacks a day...

    DD 4, terrified of WDW rides, anyone else?

    Our DD did that on our last trip. We went at 2.5 years and she was good with most things and rides but at 3.5 she went on Finding Nemo and had a breakdown because of the dark. After that she would ask about the rides and if they had dark. We didn't push it. We stuck to stuff like Dumbo and...

    pregnant and astro orbiter?

    I went at like 23 weeks and regretted it. There were not warnings and the CM said it had not pregnancy signs but afterwards I felt like I should not have done it. I am not sure that the centrifical (sp?) force is too much to be bad for the baby or not. Our daughter was fine but looking back I...

    December 2011 Code Watch!

    We got a PIN the other day and I was so excited but the dates are for November only. I had our travel agent look up what it was for and it's the free QSDP. It's a discount but not as good as I hoped. We might book now for November and use the PIN because when I mentioned the dates that we...

    1900 Park Fare or Ohana for Breakfast

    I wanted to book a character breakfast one morning for our next trip and I can't get Chef Mickey's for a time that we want to eat. I'm torn between 1900 Park Fare and Ohana. We've never done either one before for breakfast. The 1900 Park Fare food looks more interesting but I don't know that...

    November 2010 Code watch

    England7039, We had our own car that we took to EPCOT but we did uses buses for AK and they were great, low wait times, not very crowded, you just need to leave about 30 minutes before you expect to be somewhere just in case. The good thing is that we went directly to the hotel, didn't drop off...

    1st Time Mom bringing 11.5 month old

    We took our DD at 11 months old. I would suggest dinner reservations no later than 5:30. Also, those divider things that you can put formula in were wonderful. I took that around along with bottled water so I could make up a bottle very easily. Most babies are still on at least a few bottles...

    Thoughts on taking a 3.5 year old to dinner show?

    Would you or have you taken your 3.5 year old to the Polynesian Luau or the HDDR? We've been to the Luau when it was just us as a couple but I'm not sure if a it's too much for a younger child to hold their attention that long. I think she'd enjoy the dancing and music but am just not sure...

    November 2010 Code watch

    This is a follow up for the previous poster. We love the WL. My daughter was 2 the first time we stayed and it was a breeze to go back and forth from the MK to the hotel via the boats. The places is amazing and has a wonderful pool. It's a lot more affordable than the Poly although the Poly...
