Things I would never have done without the DIS

[eagillinois]

We also asked for the Cowboy scene on The Great Movie Ride after reading about it on the DIS. Instead of the Gangster skit, it is a Cowboy skit. We sat in the front and really enjoyed it, I thought it was an urban legand until we asked!!.
Another thing I learned was how to get picked for the Indiana Jones Stunt show. Also we would never had tried Grey Goose Slushies or Dole Whips unless we had learned about them here.

Things I've learned:

1. What a bounceback offer is and to book one should I be so lucky to get one in my room
2. If there's no bounceback offer in my room, to ask housekeeping
3. About the pure insanity of getting FastPasses for TSM as well as having to be there for rope drop if we want to ride more than twice
4. The hard ticket parties (MVMP & MNSSHP)
5. That you can use your fast passes after the time printed on the ticket but not before
6. To constantly check on-line for ressies you couldn't originally get (most of the time you'll luck out and be able to get last minute ressies from others that cancel
7. To let the little ones nap mid-day
8. Questions to ask the characters to get them to be more interactive
9. How to generate a pin code

Also the quarters and pennies stack wonderfully in a mini m&m tube-stack 2 quarters and a penny repeatedly and you are good to go.

That is a tremendous idea! I'm 30, but I LOVE pressed pennies- always have! I will be doing this for my upcoming trip!!!!!

Requested "Just Married" buttons for our honeymoon.

The best thing that I have learned from the Dis... is that I'm not alone in my obsession!!

And, of course, there have been lots of other things, too.

Disney resorts are part of RCI now (I think were Interval till this year). I could kick myself as one day I saw a 1 bdr at AK pop up and didn't book it right away....and of course was gone by the time I got home from work. That would have been one sweet trade.

Oh sooo much!!!

• ADR's
• Fastpass times
• Being sooo busy at Easter, I really had no clue
• Grocery delivery service

Good Lord, what WOULD i have known??? That Disney was crowded, expensive and just another 'amusement park'.

Because of the Dis, every one of my trips has been magical and fresh and exciting. I can NEVER thank you all enough.

Many hugs.

I think the Grey Goose Slushies are from the Canada Pavillion. Don't know for sure as I don't drink.

SOOOO many things, but I would have NEVER known I could RENT DVC points!! We now are able to stay at a Deluxe resort, on a Value price. This will be year 2 of renting, and we're SO thrilled! The resort sets the tone of your trip. LOVE staying onsite! Now we're ruined. I can't imagine NOT staying at a deluxe!!

Found Pins to Stay at the Poly MKV at 40% off twice May 2009 & May 2010

How can you FIND a pin? I thought they were only sent to you?

My 7 year old daughter still likes princess things but is really growing out of it. She was still interested in BBB, but the cost was too much. On DIS I found out that we can get her hair done with colored gel and sparkles for a fraction of the cost at the harmony Barber Shop in MK. I'm really glad I found out about that!

I agree on this one. My DD is 8 and when we arrive on April 30 this is the first thing we are going to do. Last time we went to DTD my DD was 6 and wanted BBB. I used the excuse that we had no time. When she brought it up again I told her about the Barber Shop and she thought that was a great idea. Thanks DIS!
