    May Trip Advise

    Thank you to everyone for your replies. I want to be able to take Disneyland off my bucket list where it has been since I was 10-years old. I thought I was going to go one summer as part of our family vacation to California only to have my father lovingly look into the wide eyes of his...

    May Trip Advise

    Hi everyone, I have been following the thread regarding vacationing during the Tinkerbell half marathon week and would also like some advice from those of you that have been during May. We are planning our first Disneyland vacation (we are WDW vets) and our options are either the week of May...

    Help me convince my wife to stay at the Cabins!!

    We have stayed at various levels of Disney resorts through the years; however, once we tried the cabins, my husband now refuses to stay at any other Disney resort. We love how peaceful the loops and cabins are. Even if the cabins around you are occupied, in our opinion, you are not subjected...

    Smoking

    Hi, I’m not sure if the policy will change by January 2014, but if she is interested in staying on Disney property, you are currently allowed to smoke on the porches at the cabins at Fort Wilderness. Our family really enjoys the additional space the cabins provide. Enjoy your trip...

    New Orleans ?'s for Corey & Julie (and anyone else!)

    Hi, I would recommend the Gumbo Shop located at 630 Saint Peter Street and/or Muriel's Jackson Square at 801 Chartres Street (both are in the quarter's). We always go to one or both anytime we visit relatives in New Orleans. Lizzie

    Disabled accessible Room Rant

    Hi: I always book a roll-in-shower room and have never been charged more at a WDW Resort for that type room over a standard room; however, there are a limited number of these rooms and I have had to pay more than the standard room rate for a "preferred location" or a "garden-view location"...

    DD wants me to take Senior photo's @ WDW

    Mike, In addition to the “photopass” spot by the castle, there is a rose garden across the walkway from there that is wonderful if the roses are in bloom (from the garden, you are able to also get the castle in the background). If you daughter likes the princess, you might try for a few...

    Oh Great Ball of Epcot, will I still love these people when this trip is over?

    Yes, you read it correctly; she’s 37 and still lives at home. Her other nickname is I’m Forever In College. Since she only needed 2 courses to graduate last spring, we all thought she might actually make it. And then lo and behold, she changed her major again.:confused3 Honestly I don’t...

    Hey Mom, That Lady Smells Like Norway!

    For those of you that had read my previous trip report, you all know that we had to postpone our annual family reunion trip because Nana, our family matriarch, was rushed to the hospital one night for emergency surgery and we had all hoped that in postponing the trip, she would be able to...

    Oh Great Ball of Epcot, will I still love these people when this trip is over?

    Thank you so much for that wonderful quote - it's perfect since she loved the Winnie the Pooh ride. I'm glad you enjoyed the report. I had a great time writing it. I have learned that when traveling with my family I have to take the good with the bad - it's just that the bad is always so...

    Oh Great Ball of Epcot, will I still love these people when this trip is over?

    Thank you for your sweet sentiment and I too am sorry for your loss. Knowing Nana - she'll be watching over us just waiting for my sister-in-law to do something and then she'll poke my mom and say I told you somethings never change. Lizzie

    To all of my family and friends that have kept up with our latest adventure, I just wanted to let everyone know that our postponded May trip has been rescheduled for June 7-12th. Unfortunately with a heavy heart I must say that Nana's surgery was not a success and she has passed away. This...

    Oh Great Ball of Epcot, will I still love these people when this trip is over?

    I knew if I laughed the poor cast member would not have been able to hold hers in any longer - the look on her face was so funny - she was trying so hard not to laugh that I'm sure she just lost it once she was out of sight. I mean there is an entire page of tea blends and she orders what she...

    Oh Great Ball of Epcot, will I still love these people when this trip is over?

    Debbie, Aahhh, Repeat and pizza, those two words have not been muttered since the Great Pizza Debacle of 1988. We were at WDW for our annual family reunion and had decided to eat at a pizzeria off-site. Well, several family members thought that the waiter was flirting with me. So I glanced...
