Quick note on how incredible this community is. I've been a member since 2005 and some years I get busy with other things and don't come around as much. Today I was noticing that so many of the people who I was talking with on here have been here longer than my 16 year term. I don't know how...

I think people were quick to take your report seriously because of the matter of fact way you wrote it. Doesn't hurt that you've been on this board for 20 years either. Maybe it's just me but it seemed weirdly hot in the Magic Kingdom today, considering the high was only around 91. Maybe the...

Sounds like you've got good advice and answers here already. I'll just add that there are plenty of places to eat outside if you're trying to be extra careful about COVID safety. (Just inferring that based off how you said you've barely left the house, sounds like you've taken a cautious...

Living here, I can tell you a lot of cast members are still out of work, in part because of this list. If you were running the Friendship boats between Old Key West and Disney Springs two years ago, you're unemployed now. This sort of thing applies to so many of our neighbors. The pandemic hit...

I think they are a charming family and we watch some of their vlogs. We live in the area too (just 5 miles north of the Magic Kingdom), and have a family of 7, the littlest is one. We also vlog, though ours is new. It’s quite different in some ways, and very like theirs in others. I have no...

We were in the Magic Kingdom until just about the time of this post, and I’m relieved to have missed that! It was a surprisingly hot and busy day. All of Orlando has been absurdly quiet for two weeks and then the 3 day weekend hits and it’s day and night. I agree it’s unlikely we will ever hear...

I'm sure everyone here was saddened by the death of the greatest creative genius the world has seen since Walt Disney himself, Steve Jobs. (I didn't get a chance to check in on the DISboards last week because I was traveling). I stumbled across this quote from the LA Times tonight and now know...

I've taken a few years of Spanish classes, and done a bit of independent study, but I'm a long ways from fluency (it took me a while just to read the above post, and that wasn't very complex... lol). When my family cruises the Mexican Riviera next year I wonder if it might be nice to...

Haha. I wore a tuxedo with a Mickey vest and bow tie, (and a nifty black top hat I got on eBay for < $50), and wondered if I'd be mistaken for crew or an entertainer (I am an amateur magician actually, which is exactly what I looked like). That didn't happen, but you couldn't have gotten more...

I took this picture from our veranda in 7078 on the our 6/7 Alaskan cruise. This tuxedo was only $25 on eBay. (By the way, he doesn't normally use a pacifier anymore, but we brought one in case he was frazzled by the cruise thinking it might help- he grabbed it before I took this pic and I...

My three year old never wants a nap... :rotfl: Actually, the problem with nap time - we were stuck with the 8:15pm dinner time, and were trying our best to adjust the little guy's sleep schedule. Where at home he wakes up at 6:30am, naps from 11:30-12:30 and goes to bed by 8:00pm, on the...

Aha, so it was you PrincessTrisha! :lmao: Just kidding. I appreciate your honest thoughts. As I said, I didn't walk away feeling too great about the situation, and wanted other perspectives. re: inconsiderate rocking - This was definitely how she saw it, but for what it's worth, it's not...

Agree with everything mm4mm said. We didn't go to the member celebration thing, but they then put a note in your room saying roughly, "Sorry you didn't make it to the DVC member event, but come by and see us anyhow, we have goodies for you." So we went and got some of those nifty hats after the...

Right, she didn't kick us directly, she kicked the top portion of the back of the seat with remarkable vigor. I guess my final remark to her was a bit misleading, but I was quite exasperated. I guess even if security had seen it directly it's possible they would not have acted... it was a...

I found Grumpy on the Disney Wonder's Alaskan sailing from June 7th, and I'm afraid it wasn't with Snow White. My family was watching DisneyNature African Cats in the Buena Vista theater waiting to pull into Ketchikan (it was nearly my 3 year old's nap time) while holding and barely rocking him...

I had considered that, but thought it would somehow decrease the odds that the wait list would work out. Actually, I think I was afraid they wouldn't allow me to both reserve a room with cash, and waitlist for the same room at the same time. This is definitely possible? If so, I guess I could...

Thanks Trekker. So, I could tell them I prefer to do business with, say Dreams Unlimited (to support them for supporting the DISboards), and then get a $100 OBC just for using the agency? And DCL also gives an OBC as an incentive for rebooking while onboard right? I would love to have $200-$300...

I realize this topic comes up from time to time, but I'm still confused. We're on next week's Alaskan cruise :banana: and intend to book a Mexican Riviera cruise for next year while we're aboard, to get the 10% savings. How do we name a travel agency and get the highest possible on board...

Ha, thanks. Are you really in Mukilteo, WA? I can see you from my front porch (I live right above Naval Station Everett). I wish the Disney Wonder would come a bit closer so we could see it from home some day! :)

Looks like there's not a single unit in all of SSR of any size on Thanksgiving Day itself (long story, but our original reservation apparently only went through then, I'd forgotten that). So, if you're staying at SSR over Thanksgiving, would you mind canceling your ressie for me? You don't...
