    Boycotting the Oscars

    There is a VERY big difference between Acculturating and Assimlating.

    Boycotting the Oscars

    I'd like ANY ONE ELSE who has worked directly in Hollywood and at the studios to weigh in on this instead of people just guessing at the industry.

    Boycotting the Oscars

    THEY? Is this assuming the DisBoards are all White members? THEY??? (Also, Academy is spelled ACADEMY). And you are missing the whole point that the WORLD is diverse and when you have an Award show that is seen as significant in the industry and you don't have any diversity - then it sends the...

    Me too! We are fans of Vons, you get the first order with free delivery. And they always have been consistent, reliable and fresh.

    Downtown Disney perks for hotel guests?

    The Sephora stopped over 2 years ago - you used to get $50 credit and to be able to go in an hour before the store opened. You can do the Build-A-Bear an hour before store opening - I would call the day before you arrive to book it so it doesn't sell out. You can also do the RideMakerz build a...

    Tell me about the rooms at GCH...What all is in them?

    We order the Joffrey's from Room Service. You can ask for extra and they usually don't charge you - so you can get 2 pots for the price of one.

    Help me with my quest for non-fried food!

    I know how you feel. I'm not a food manager, but if we all eat junk all day everyone is sluggish. My DD5 is also Pescetarian so she can't eat corn dogs/burgers Some of my favorite healthier items are the salads at Pacific Wharf in DCA. They come in a bread bowl and I get the salad on the side...

    Paint the Night Blue Bayou packages

    The VIP seating for fireworks was at the top of the Railroad stairs. They rope off an area and move benches over there. As the railroad is closed now this is probably where they will have Reserved Standing for dining packages and let people stand behind the VIP benches. If this is true -- there...

    Flu Soup Recipe

    My best friend's family have all been sick with the flu this week and she asked me to make my "family famous" Flu Tea Soup for them all. They all were better within a day! So I thought I'd share it with everyone - a lot of family members and friends ask me to make it when they have the flu...

    Man CM in a woman's uniform?

    Why would this be an issue...there are many transgender people who don't have the millions of $$ as Fakelyn Jenner and work hard to be able to make themselves who they truly believe they are. Maybe this woman is transitioning. I would have given her a high-five and said "Glad you have the...

    Any suggestions for NFL playoffs viewing, apart from ESPN?

    PLEASE stay away from Shakey's Pizza. So gross. (no offense @Bud Ice ) it's so processed and salty. I like McCormick and Schmicks at Garden Walk and they have great Happy Hour on their food (but not drinks). And if you don't want bar appetizers you can order great seafood/burgers. Also if you...

    Questions about on-site hotel check in

    PP actually doesn't have the early A&E amenities - it's only Disneyland Hotel and The Grand. You can do an early Build-A-Bear but not the others (Anna & Elsa boutique, RideMakers). You can call a couple days ahead of time and ask for them to fax you the weekly list (they don't want to email...

    random packing question

    I've had an issue with the Vacuum Sealed bags in America because you need a specific vacuum hose to use them and housekeeping wasn't allowed to let you use the vacuum cleaner for safety/insurance reasons at 2 separate hotels I stayed at. Then I was stuck with bags to ADD to what was already...

    Any seasoned vegetarians?

    I like making black bean and quinoa burgers myself..very easy to do. Also, I make egg rolls with the ground tofu pieces from the grocery store and they come out great because you season them and they have a great texture. Try putting Extra Firm tofu on a towel and another towel over it and...

    Napa Rose

    Great experience! Make sure you call the restaurant directly to book it not Disney Dining. I like doing the earlier (5:30pm) seating as you get to watch some kitchen prep and it's not as busy as the 2nd seating (8pm). Make sure you do the wine pairing flight that comes with it as well. Hopefully...

    Let's justify a stay at the DL Hotel...

    We love staying at the Resort Hotels. That's just what makes my family members happy. The perks and atmosphere just make it so fun. If you were going to Las Vegas and deciding between The Bellagio or Bally's across the street you would be looking at the same questions...you know what you're...

    2 weeks at Disneyland. Will we get bored?

    I believe WOC comes back Feb 2nd so you'll be able to see it. We once stayed at the resort for 11 days and loved it. There is plenty to do, especially since you're staying on-site. Maybe have a day at the hotel and do the activities they offer all day. As a former Southern California resident...

    Tipping/gratuities/prepaid dining questions

    @Malcon10t is right. The tax in Anaheim (and most of Southern California) is 8% so doubling the tax is a great way to know you're at least tipping 16% and add a bit more to get to 20% (Where I live in Alameda County is 9.5% so we usually tip 19% doubling the tax). And wait staff does NOT make...
