    Worst Recession since WWII?

    I've been a long time lurker on the budget board, I have learned so much from everyone. This is my first post here. I've been worried about the economy for some time now but am not very savvy. I've been trying to fit an economy class into my schedule. Anyway, I am curious Dvcgirl and others...

    Disney isn't looking all that expensive

    I agree. I just had this conversation with DH. He was insisting that it was too expensive to go to DW, let's go someplace else. Boy was he surprised to find out that we consistantly spend more on other vacation destinations than a Disney vacation. Needless to say, I handle the money in the...

    Dumb question about check-in and groceries

    We usually drive and have a BIG cooler full of food. The first time I was worried about looking like a hick from the hills bringing that thing into AKL. :lmao: The bell hop just loaded it up like any other luggage and never said a word. I've seen many other luggage carts with coolers and...

    9 yo son afraid to fly

    Again, thanks for all the great idea everyone. We are planning on going to the airport this weekend and see the planes take off and land. I think this will be a good first step. Just a few comments here: We are not flying just to get out of 10 hours of driving. It is a 2 day drive for us and...

    Anyone still buying the DDE card?

    Just a little food for thought for you here. As a server I can tell you that most servers are on the fence about automatic gratuity when it comes to discount dining cards. It seems as most of you get the idea that (given good service) you would leave 15-20% of the PRE-discounted bill. However...

    Please help me feel excited about AKL during Christmas season.

    We stayed at AKL a few years ago at Christmas time. The holiday decorations were very festive while fitting in with the African theme. The Christmas tree in the lobby was fabulous! Put your trust in Disney to make you feel like it's Christmas in Africa. AkL is a beautiful resort even if you...

    9 yo son afraid to fly

    It's great to have a young persons point of view on this, and very well put. I especially appreciate the idea of making sure that his older sister keeps any scary plane talk to herself. she is also 13 and has a tendency to be a little free with her comments :rolleyes: We just don't have the...

    The GROOVIER New Pop Century FAQ Thread! ~ Post #1 is a must see!

    I'm trying to decide where to request a room. I really don't like the idea of paying for a prefered room. However, I like the idea of being fairly close to the food court. I'd like to feel comfortable allowing my kids to go get a snack and drink refill on their own. I would love to be in one of...

    Walt Disney Face character

    This is what I was thinking of. Over the years we have seen some wonderful impersonations. The actors are very professional and take their roles very seriously. They don't break character for anything!

    Whats the Best Night Time Spectacular???

    Had to go with Illuminatins. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps. I find it not only beautiful, but very moving. When I need a pick me up I listen to my CD of the soundtrack. Fantasmic comes in second for me. Great show, very fun!

    Walt Disney Face character

    So my kids and I are sitting here on this very snowy afternoon reading the Dis and discussing our trip next year. My son was very young last time we went and does not remember much. He was asking the difference between a face character and a costume character. My daughter was telling him and...

    question for servers.....

    I am a server. Cash is always best! Not sure how Disney does it, and every restaurant is different but credit card tips can be tricky. Some places don't pay out the CC tips until they do the CC receipts (sometimes weekly or even sometimes monthly :eek: ) Also, the way restaurants do the servers...

We did this, rented enough points for a week long stay at a 2 bedroom at OKW for $1200- this was in thier least expensive season (DVC seasons are different that regular disney hotel seasons) and it was a few years ago. However it is still a great deal at...
