    HA! I'm honestly not mad at myself for not knowing that but that eliminates him for sure!

    The Masked Singer- No Spoilers Please

    I'm unsure - CLo is a no. He ain't moving like that monster did last night. I thought Nelly was an intriguing guess from the judges - some of the hints confused me more!

    The Masked Singer- No Spoilers Please

    I really wanted to hate this show, but I can't. I find myself watching and speculating for the entire hour. Anyway, here's my thoughts: Peacock: I initially thought its David Copperfield but Donny is a good fit too. The Raven: Ricki Lake, hands down. The voice matched and the story as well...

    Extended MLK Weekend Plan Thoughts?

    Yeah, you're right. I hope to be able to shift around FP's depending on wait times at those moments - snag was the wrong word to use. :)

    Extended MLK Weekend Plan Thoughts?

    Thanks for the great tips! As for the weather, the cold never bothered us anyway. :) Disney Springs it is. I was leaning there anyway but always felt like I missed something by not going to the boardwalk... AK, makes perfect sense. It might be hard to get in Dinosaur before going over to the...

Me and my DD(10) will be visiting from Saturday, 1/19 through Thursday, 1/24 for a Daddy/Daughter birthday trip! We haven't been in nearly 5 years so there's much new for us to do...

    EPCOT 2019 International Festival Of The Arts Discussion

    I'm doing a quick 4 day Daddy/DD10 trip opening weekend. Sunday through Wednesday, (1/20 to 1/23) I'm trying to debate if EP needs to be Sunday or Monday to enjoy the FOA or if we could enjoy on any day? Worried about MLK weekend/opening weekend crowds being a little hectic. Any opinions?

    My wife requires hearing aids and insurance doesn't cover. It was recommended she get the Oticon Chili SP9's - we got a quote of $6400 for the pair. (We paid $3800 for her SP5's 4 years ago) I found a company called TruHearing. They partner with other benefit providers to offer discounted...

    Garden Grill Questions

    Yes, GG has 2 tiers. The bottom tier is a much better view of the Land below. I'm sure you could request to wait for a lower tier seat when you arrive at the restaurant, however being a group of 7, I'm pretty sure you'll be seated there by default. If I remember correctly, the upper tier is only...

    CSR recommendations

    We went in October and on our room request we asked for Cabanas 9B since it is close to the main hall and main bus stop. We also put in secondary room requests for a room on the 1st floor and a room close to transportation. Our room assignment was in Casitas 4 on the 1st floor. This worked...

    Where do you eat on AK day?

    We typically do no/small breakfast, Flametree early lunch then head to DTD that night since AK closes early. Many choices in DTD for dinner that are kid friendly.

    Fireworks from Contemporary?

    The observation deck is an awesome spot to watch the show...They run the corresponding audio through the speakers out there, as they do by the water of Poly and GF.. pixiedust:
