    Christmas Refillable popcorn buckets availability?

    I hope they still have the Pluto buckets when we get down there the end of November. I saw last year's version on a Dis post and was hoping they would have them this year. I'll buy this one to take home and get a regular bucket for DH to refill. I wouldn't want to carry the Pluto bucket on rides.

    Magic band from 2012

    This may be a dumb question but if I want to wear one of my old MagicBands to match an outfit can I put the new one I'm getting this year in my backpack to pick up the ride photos?

    California Grill question.

    Is it a problem to share a meal? We would both love the Cowboy ribeye but it is way too much food for both of us.

    Storybook Dining at Artist Point Watch Thread!

    I am so bummed I am missing the opening by two weeks. Snow White is my favorite Disney character after Minnie. I get to meet Minnie at Hollywood and Vine but would have loved to meet Snow White. I hate to stand in line for a character meet and greet. Oh well, I guess I will have to wait...

    Best Salad?

    I'm not a salad lover but my husband loved the Cobb salad at Brown Derby lounge and also raves about the salad that comes with the skillet at Whispering Canyon. I think they also have a similar salad at Roaring Fork at the Wilderness Lodge. I believe that it has an apple vinaigrette and...

    Christmas season at WDW

    Animal Kingdom Lodge also has a huge tree in the lobby with African themed decorations. The Beach Club has a carousel made of chocolate which is really fun to see. We try to book meals at the Deluxe resorts so we can visit the ones with the best decorations.

    First week in December

    We will be there 11/26 - 12/5. I didn't have an option since this is the only time I could go during the Christmas season. I'm planning on using Rope Drop with breaks in the afternoon then back in the evening. It sounds like the evenings may be a little more crowded during the end of our...

    Which Disney ride do you enjoy but causes discomfort?

    I have the same problem with RNRC as the previous poster. I am too short and my head bangs into the shoulder restraints. I still love it though. I went on Matterhorn years ago and never again. I don't have back problems but it really made my back hurt. DH has had back surgery and will not...

    ECV Parade and Fireworks Viewing and CPAP Distilled Water

    If I got there early enough and was able to park my ECV up to the fence in the viewing area for the MVMCP fireworks, would they let DH sit on the concrete ledge in front of me? I think he could turn around and see the fireworks pretty well from there and I don't think he would block anyone's...

    Unsure where to post question about scooters...

    I just booked my first ECV with Gold Mobility. I am having bilateral knee replacement in January and know I won't be able to make it completely on foot. I mentioned that DH really needs one too but I can't convince him. The rep I spoke with said they have requests all the time for people who...

    What is your favorite spot at Walt Disney World?

    DH's favorites are sitting in the lobby at the Wilderness Lodge and walking through the rose garden between Future World and World Showcase in Epcot. My favorites are standing on Main Street at night looking at the castle and the quiet beautifully tiled room with the wall fountain in Morocco in...

    Help me pick a resort please!

    Picking a resort is such a personal thing. For us it's Wilderness Lodge always. We love the boat ride to the Magic Kingdom and we also like the smaller size of the resort. DH loves the rustic décor and his favorite thing is to sit in the middle of the lobby and just take everything in. When...

    ARRRRRRRGH FP+ Nightmares

    It just amazes me that a company as big as Disney cannot figure out that they need to increase their server capacity especially in the mornings. They certainly have the money to do it. They apparently just don't have the motivation to make the necessary changes.

    Just Back from 1st ECV Use Trip

    I am contemplating using an ECV for the first time due to knee issues. I have been to WDW many times and have always waited patiently while guests with ECV's were loaded first. I am not going to feel bad now that I will be the one with the ECV. It's unfortunate that some people are so rude...

    WDW Christmas time MUST DO'S...

    We are going to WDW 11/26 - 12/7 and staying at Wilderness Lodge! We went for the Christmas activities at the same time 10 years ago this year and at the time couldn't afford a deluxe resort. We are so excited to be able to stay at WL. There are so many new Christmas activities and some old...

    ***Official Candlelight Processional Dining Package Watch - 2018***

    They say patience is a virtue. I finally was able to book Ale and Compass lunch for the 6:45 show on 12/3. So excited to see NPH! We really wanted Garden Grill breakfast but it was showing no availability. We also had to move our Yachtsman reservation to 8:15. I hope we can make it over there...

    Insulin Pumps

    My husband has removed his pump to ride TOT and left it at the First Aid Station near the entrance to the park. It's a little inconvenient but you sign this in and out and we felt very comfortable leaving the pump there. We have never had a problem with this. We always use a fast pass so he...

    Park hopper touring plan

    We normally rope drop until about 1:00 then go back to the resort in the afternoon and then an early dinner usually at one of the other resorts. We then hit one of the parks in the evening near the resort where we eat dinner. We used to commando the parks from rope drop to close but as we've...

    Question about new hotel Discounts

    I just emailed my travel agent and she said that the discounts were very slight for my resort (Wilderness Lodge) and it actually worked out to a higher cost if we applied the room discount because I would have to pay the higher ticket prices. We booked before the ticket increase. Looks like we...
