I definitely know how you feel with people asking for wdw help. I get the weirdest looks when I get into FPS and dining reservations. My mom still doesn’t understand the whole 180+ and 60+ system.

We’ll be at wdw in 8 days! I can’t wait because it’s absolutelu freezing here now. Our first night at wdw is showing a low of 39 though which seems pretty darn cold for Florida. We were planning on going to jelly rolls and the dance hall for the first time this trip. Do you have any tips about them?

I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed in the forecast. I keep hoping for warmer temps but every time I look it has gotten colder! I have never been to the dance hall but Jellyrolls has my heart--this coming from a someone who doesn't go to bars and is generally pretty boring. LOL. So definitely get there between 8-330 PM or so. Even if it is half empty or more I promise you within an hour or two it will be hopping. AFter EPCOT closes your chances of getting a table without stalking someone (I hate that!) is pretty slim. Like I said, get there early and hang even if it is sorta boring at first. There is a cover charge and drinks are not cheap...and not very strong I just look at it as my cost for evening entertainment, although I would be lying if I said my and my BFF didn't smuggle some nice tequila in our purses . Don't film anything either. I didn't know that and when one of the guys was doing Rainbow Connection I was taking a video to send to my DH back home (telling him we HAD to go next time!) and the bouncer was on me fast and it was embarrassing. I am a total rule follower and so I felt like a naughty kid the rest of the evening . Friday/Sat is a pretty fun--I havent been on other days but I just love the vibe of it being packed and everyone in the building singing along to the same songs. SO fun!

I don’t think I’ve ever mentally recovered from losing my favorite dish (Braised Beef crepe) at Cafe Orleans right before my trip. It’s scaring when that happens at your Happy Place!

We are changing our Kona adr. The new wings look really gross to me. They have pickled carrots and honey bacon on top which I wouldn’t eat either of. Any suggestions for a new adr in/around mk?

It sounds like a fun place. I didn’t realize it was so hard to get into. We likely wouldn’t go until later that night because we have some things we want to do during the day and have time to relax at the yc. Maybe we will go after lunch or something.

What do you like there? The problem for me is I’m such a picky eater. I sometimes order off the kids menu to get something a little more plain

It doesn't open until the later evening. You can definitely go whenever-it's open until 2 or so but you will just have to stand for a bit until a seat opens up. Although maybe if you don't go on a Fri/Sat it isn't as packed. I wouldn't skip it though! I passed on it quite a few times thinking it wouldn't be my thing but it is one of my favorites now!

We have a new thread!!!

I have been so busy. Fiance & I were about to close on a house, had it snatched away , then found a house that suits us even better & finally closed on it last week. AND, we booked our wedding venue for next year.



We move in on February 1st so I am having lots of fun imagining all the spend decorating a new home will get me & I did pick up a CSR using a DISchurner link, so I should knock that one out easily. I kind of want that 75K United Biz but not sure if I can get away with it since I would have opened the CIP just a few months ago.

Ah okay I was confused by your 8-3:30 pm that you posted earlier. I’ll have to look up the times. Dh thought it would be fun to go dancing at the dance hall lol.

Liberty tree tavern or the plaza.

We ended up booking crystal palace at 7:55 for now. I like the idea of not leaving the park for the meal. We aren’t fans of LTT. What do you like at the plaza?

I changed my picture to this for now. It’s from our last trip at beach club

I KNEW it! So many changes around here I was second guessing when image change might have happened

I guess I'm the only person on here who goes to H&R Block to have taxes done. Ours our complicated with all my different freelance jobs in addition to full time work.

We've used an accountant for over 25 years. Our taxes have always been very complicated. I'm a non-practicing attorney and I wouldn't dream of attempting them myself. Checking them is difficult enough.

We are going to be paying more too...Living in NY our state income and property taxes are so high and we can only claim 10k

It's going to be brutal! I live in CA and we are right up there with you guys in SALT pain.

And we always wait until 4/15 to send ours since we are always writing Uncle Sam a fat check. Last year we were hit with the AMT which is just ridiculous since we are not millionaires.

Ditto from me. I wait until last possible second. Last year I was able to us my AMEX platinum business to get 1.5x points on a big tax bill. Silver lining We are in the same boat with AMT--been hit by it for last 20 years. Part of the living in CA premium I'm hoping the new tax law helps with AMT at least.

Mine will probably change again after our trip lol

Spring Break! And I’m not enamored of waiting an hour or more.

I have suddenly found myself heading to Univ and WDW over Spring Break so I’m just looking at planning stuff... Fantasmic requires standing in an hour long line now to assure you can get in? I really want to see it but- no. Off to check out the dessert and dining package options...

I'm in the market for a new weekender/overnight bag. Any suggestions?

I started checking the weather a week ago and check 3-4...ok like 10 times daily. And yes I agree I wish it would be a little warmer!! Luckily it’s not bad cold though (yet???)
