    How long will Christmas decor be up?

    Anyone have any idea how long the Christmas decorations will be up after Christmas?....in the past I've heard it usually comes down around the 3rd of Jan. Does anyone have a hard date for when the holiday lights and parades are no longer turned on?

    The ones we used for diving were rubbery too...not the kind you wash your car with.

    Frogg toggs cooling pads???

    LOL! I've never heard of these, but after looking them up I think those are the exact same thing I used when I was a competitive diver...we called them shammies and used them to dry off quickly.

    SWW weekend parade - was your child chosen to be in the parade?

    How does that work exactly? DD is planning on wearing her rather elaborate Jedi costume in hopes of being asked, but I don't want her to get her hopes up if it's really unlikely.

    Disney Dead Zones - what areas can't you understand why Disney doesn't rehab/replace?

    I think about 50% of the front of Epcot could use a major updating...but they've got to do a way better job of it than they did with Test Track. I'm hoping that after DHS will hopefully get Cars and SW lands they will give Epcot some much needed love! And I'd love to see Switzerland go into...

    Lots of rain this week - be prepared!

    The best thing about rainy days is that everyone else stays at the hotel...a pair of crocs and a poncho and your golden!

    Body Glide variety?

    I didn't realize there were so many types of Body Glide....which do you find works best for use in the parks (will be used mainly for preventing hot spots and blisters from shoes).

    How high is too much for you?

    Hard to say....I think if they either limit FP to a low number per day or take away FP completely as rumored, along with the increase in ticket prices, might just make us cut way back on trips. We typically go 1-3 times a year - but we may opt out and go only one every 2-3 years. We've...

    Photopass Discount?

    Is there no longer a good discount for pre-ordering your photopass? All I can find is a code to give you $15 off the $170 price (which is a ridiculous price increase from a couple of years ago IMO).... Never mind....I found it after some digging around on the site...they sure don't make it...

    Does anyone else know about FastPass?

    I dearly hope they don't limit the number if FP's you can get in a day....I understand limiting how many you can 'pre-order' (or whatever they will call it), but if they limit overall to a low number like 3-4/day that's going to be misery for families with small children. We don't get in a SB...

    Stars Wars strategy??

    Well I'm glad I saw this! I was planning on taking my 9 year old to line up early for Billy Dee Williams, but I doubt she (or I) are dedicated enough to line up 3 hours earlier and wait all night! Any idea what we can expect for Peter Mayhew?

    New Test Track - Thoughts?

    We all thought it was a pretty lame re-do....it just didn't feel at all "Disney" to me and I felt like they totally cheaped out with the screens and lighting effects, no humor, nothing at all that indicated Imagineering, the car design is stupid and didn't work, queue is dull. Just plain...

    Official Star Wars Weekends 2013 Tips and Tricks

    I've done a little searching, but can't seem to find a posting of this year's guide map and daily schedule....can anyone help? Checking to make sure we don't need to adjust our ADRs and need to plan what days for Jedi Training and getting a FP to meet Billy Dee Williams...

    Non flip-flop/thong sandal recommendations

    Well - the Merrells and the Tevas I ordered are a miss...the straps on both aren't adjustable enough to fit comfortably, so they are going back. Just ordered another 3 pairs from Zappos (2 other Keens and one Merrell) and 2 pairs of Sketchers from Overstocks. One of these has got to work...

    Non flip-flop/thong sandal recommendations

    Typically I don't have an issue if there's some sort of strap far enough up on my foot...honestly, I'm not holding out too much hope on those Keens - because there isn't a strap very far back and also because my feet seem to swim around a bit in Keens. May also order those Teva Ewaso and...

    Non flip-flop/thong sandal recommendations

    I know the shoe issue has been discussed ad naseum at this point, but I am really struggling to find shoes for the parks for our upcoming trip in June. In the past I've loved my Crocs Cleo sandals - not sure what has changed, but I've worn them the past couple of trips (and at home) and seem to...

    stroller question

    If you have the time, I would start walking at least a few times a week to get in shape and used to walking distances... We first took our dd when she had just turned 4 and have never used a stroller in the parks - we were there for a week and she did just fine. I agree that a healthy, school...

    Favorite place to stop and relax?

    Our all-time favorite is the People Mover....we love when it's slow and there's no line, the CM's always seem happy to let us ride as long as we like. Other than that: MK - the old boat launch in the rose garden, the seating area way back by Space Mountain Epcot - the boats, the gardens at...

    Mistake you will not repeat next time...

    Are you planning on going to all 4 parks in 2 days? Remember that the WDW parks are a lot larger than the parks in CA and not at all close to each other so you will need to factor in a significant amount of travel time if you plan on park hopping. In my opinion both MK and Epcot are 2 day parks...
