    Need recommendations in the Orlando area!

    We are renting our house here for a year. We both get unemployment for a year and have some saved. So we will be good for a year there if nothing comes up. I work in the travel industry so I don't think it should be difficult to get a job in central Florida. I also have a possible job that...

    Need recommendations in the Orlando area!

    My DH got laid off from his job a month ago. Just found out mine is ending in less than 2 weeks. :scared1: Florida was in the 5-year-plan but that now just got moved up to "we're moving this summer plan." We've been to Disney many times. Mostly during summer time and love the Florida weather...

    Booking a Disney Trip with a Travel Agent?

    I am a TA for a large company so when I'm out sick (like I am today!) there are 9 other people on my team that are happy to help change a reservation. But if it's a one-man operation I could see it being a problem. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    Disney 101 ... I need help!

    I cruised on the DisneyDream in October and spent a couple nights in Disney first. It was awesome! Loved the Dream and can't wait to go back! I think doing both gives you the best of both worlds! Disney cruise line is the best!

    Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly of moving to Florida!

    A little less than a year ago DH lost his job after 17 years. We were fortunate that he was able to find another in just 8 weeks (he has a Journalism degree). Well a week ago we found out his department is closing and he will again be laid off. Moving to FL was in our 5- year plan but may now...

    Can I Upgrade When I Check In?

    Going to the French Quarter Nov. 9-19th for my 50th birthday. I thought maybe I could upgrade to a deluxe resort when I arrive but in just looking there appears to be NO availability at any deluxe resorts! Could they seriously be completely booked??? I don't want to get my hopes up if there's...

    Back from our first "adult's only" Disney trip

    DH and I are going in 23 days by ourselves for 10 nights to celebrate my 50th birthday. This will only be our 3rd trip alone in 11 years! The kids are finally grown and we just sent the youngest off to college this fall. We are also doing F&W for the first time and the KTTKT too! Can't wait!

    Moving Resorts

    I have my 50th bday trip planned for November with free dining for a week at French Quarter. Decided I want to fly in the day before and do a room only for one night rather than the early morning flight. I can get a much better rate staying at Port Orleans Riverside (TA rate) for one night than...

    Disney Vacation Planning as a job?

    I became a travel agent because of my love of Disney and I too really just wanted to plan Disney vacations. But along the way I learned other destinations too and I enjoy planning those trips as well. I work for a well known company and we are busy. But the competition for people's business is...

    Online Dining Mistake

    May 16th was my 180 days till my arrival for my 50th birthday trip to WDW. I went online at 6 a.m. to make a reservation at O'Hana and the only time left was 8:15pm, so I took it. Fast forward to today when I see a $40 charge from WDW on my credit card statment dated May 16th. So I call Disney...

    Port Orleans Riverside FAQ thread - Royally Refurbished for 2011

    I just listened to the WDW Today podcast on the review of Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter....that was disappointing and inaccurate review of those resorts! One said they didn't even think the French Quarter had a slide! It has the dragon slide....kids just love that! It was also said...

    Disney inspired names for a dog?

    My 75 pound yellow lab is named Tinkerbell. My black lab is Disney. My daughter has 2 cats, one is Gaston and the other Lefou. We always get giggles when people learn our pets names. And everyone who knows us (and knows our Disney obsession) just expects it!;)
