    In Defense of Bob Chapek

    Let me start by saying that I hate politics and its influence on our daily lives. I miss the simple days of Dems arguing with Reps that they make the rich richer and poor poorer. At the end of the day, WDW is my escape from reality. I am very active in the Disney community...podcasts, blogs...

    Westchester woman charged with domestic violence after slapping husband at Disney World

    For the record, I am totally politically incorrect and when I saw this article online, I chuckled. But it is a microcosm of the world we live in. Disney planning can be stressful...as is evident from the article. The key is to have a plan and be flexible. Now, with that being said, if she would...

    Looks like this thread has gone silent!

    DVC AP Renewal

    Just a quick update. I called every few weeks hoping Disney would let me renew early but not dice. Legit called about 8 different times. Lol. In the end I was still able to get my Park Pass reservations and the timeframe had no impact on my ADRs. All in all, a happy ending.

    DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

    Hey gents. Just checking in. Been a bit since I posted over here...truthfully miss it greatly. I'm cross posting between FB and here. Going to be storming the Castle 7/21 -7/30 if anyone is around I'd love to meet up.

    T1 Diabetic - Alcoholic Drinks

    I've been T1D for 42 year *diagnosed at the 5yo. I like to drink recreationally and have recently moved towards more of the mixed drink route than beer. However, I am free to make concoctions at home with diet sodas (i.e., Moscow Mules...vodka\dt. ginger beer) but was wondering what options...

    Lines app (paid vs. free?)

    On their site, there's a hyperlink to View the Member Benefits. That might give you some more insight.

    Virtual que

    You're absolutely correct. I misstated that Ratatouille had one. They did away with that in early to mid January.

    Lines app (paid vs. free?)

    I have a TP subscription. Lines works very well and has never steered me wrong. We rarely use "plans" simply because we are crafty WDW vets. I have however used them multiple times to help friends plan their trips. I will take Lines wait times also over anything WDW has posted. With the paid...

    Virtual que

    Virtual Queues are free and currently just limited to Remy in EPCOT. This is always subject to change. ROTR obviously had been a VQ attraction. That is free but also it won't guarantee that you get in. It is available as part of the Individual Lightning Lane (ILL) for a fee. This is a separate...

    Portable charger

    I'm a tech nerd and to me, the best bang for your buck is getting an Anker charger. They are all reliable and cost effective. Look for Anker chargers in your price range and make the purchase. Don't overthink it.

    Another backpack thread

    I'm a dude, so cute isn't my thing BUT....I have an Osprey and it is one of my prized possessions. I would look at their options and then proceed from there. I can totally relate to the unicorn of backpacks scenario. I use this, my wife user a VB backpack and my girls use Nike nylon cinch...

    First trip with baby!

    We have friends that are in a similar situation. We were just talking about this. I suspect you'll have this all figured out on your own. The fact that you are veterans means you know that you don't have to run yourself into the ground. Pay attention to your daughter's cues. For example, our one...

    Resort Hopping

    It's def a thing. Ppl often go and check out the resort properties and often in the DVC resorts they will have rooms available for tour. It's kind of cool just to see the different types of theming at each resort.

    DVC AP Renewal

    Thanks for the feedback. I think that's going to be my approach. I'd wish they had a policy that accommodated for situations like this where a resort is booked and extends beyond the expiration period. I'm not trying to game the system, but it puts me at a disadvantage to someone who gets...

    Nice. My old boss lived up there until his kids were out of the house.

    Error trying to use Genie (the free version)

    I'm okay with workarounds but find it annoying that they don't have it listed. I manage technology for a living in a major financial corp, so I'm easily annoyed by the tech snafus. Lol.

    DVC AP Renewal

    I know the standard renewal is 60 days prior to expiration and 30 days after. My situation is that we are the World (BWV & BLT) 7/21 - 7/30. Our APs expire Thursday 7/28. So we can't make Park Pass reservations or update Genie until we get our renewals done. Anyone know if Member Service or...

    Error trying to use Genie (the free version)

    Same thing for me. Was looking for Via Napoli as a lunch option on our arrival day. Couldn't find it in Genie.
