    What is your Disney shameful secret?

    Oh gosh, my husband and I do this too! I usually try not to even bring up that I'm taking time off and if I get cornered, I'll say we're doing a "staycation" or going to visit family. I get so tired of everyone assuming that a Disney trip means MEGA EXPENSIVE! It's only the two of us, and we...

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    We stayed on rented points in May 2018 and used the laundry facilities at the pool. There was no charge, except to buy detergent, etc. if needed. They weren't separate; anyone with a reservation could go into the laundry room (via hotel key, magicband).

    They do supply hair dryers, though it's the kind that is tiny and mounted on the wall by the sink. (Just got back from a studio stay a week ago.)

    The Edison Dress Code at Lunch?

    Well...it's not that I'm saying their dress code is difficult to follow or that it's asking a lot...I'm just trying to make sure I pack appropriately. And I'm trying to be respectful of the dress code as well as the other diners' expectations. I'm not sure what about my original post made you...

    The Edison Dress Code at Lunch?

    From what I read in a January 2018 post: The Edison has an enforced dress code Thursday through Saturday evenings beginning at 10 p.m. Men must wear slacks, jeans or dress shorts. No ball caps, sleeveless shirts or flip-flops are permitted. Jackets are optional. So, it may have loosened up...

    The Edison Dress Code at Lunch?

    I did a quick google search but couldn't find anything except that the dress code is strictly enforced after 10pm Thursday-Saturday. Does anyone have any experience eating at the Edison for lunch? Our ADR is for 11:30am on Friday. We're just doing a quick three day trip next week and want to...

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    I had good luck on our stay by faxing my request to 407.827.4444. We got the exact view and building we wanted, although we were on the first floor instead of an upper floor. In my request, I specified that I wanted in the southernmost Paddock building and I used the room number range that is...

    Ring Tones

    You found the fast pass tone or Fantasmic? I've wanted the fast pass tone as my text tone for so long!! But I have never been able to find a clear copy of the sound that didn't have a bunch of background noise. :( I just looked on the Zedge app by searching for Disney and Fast Pass but...

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    Just to chime in quickly...I know for sure the 2/14 MK hours were posted with a 9pm close as early as September and 2/28 was posted as an 8pm close. We were debating between the 2/14 or 2/28 DAH event in September. :) Soooo....I have it in my nerdy comparison chart that I put together to help...

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    We had a very similar situation when we did our first DAH event at MK a couple of years ago. We were staying at the Buena Vista Palace near Disney Springs. After the event was over, we took a bus to Saratoga Springs Resort and walked to Disney Springs from there, then on to our hotel. It was...

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    I'm trying to talk myself into spending the $69 for the one day Memory Maker, mostly just for the lantern picture, but I'd also like to have all of the ride photos and maybe some on an empty Main Street and in front of the Castle.

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    Bike rental question...if we were to decide to rent a bike at SSR, would we be able to (or allowed to?) ride over to Old Key West? We've always meant to go explore at OKW a bit, but never have managed the walk over. I thought renting a bike for the day might be a fun way to visit during out...

    **Disney After Hours-Hollywood Studios** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    Like another poster said...I'm the type to follow a "better safe than sorry" policy. I've had a couple of similar situations like what you are describing, where I had more than one type of ticket linked in MDE and I didn't want to accidentally have the wrong ticket used. For me, carrying in a...

    **Disney After Hours - Animal Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    That's the way it worked for me. And yes, at 60 days as a resort guest. This is the first time we've ever ONLY had the special event ticket linked to MDE, so I wasn't 100% sure it would work until it did. :) In the past, we've either had other regular tickets linked that we were saving for a...

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    We ate a light meal of shared appetizers at Territory Lounge around 5pm before taking the boat over to MK. We don't really like to have a super heavy meal before heading into the parks, plus we wanted plenty of room for all of the "free" snacks provided at the event! I don't imagine we'd ever...

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    This is my favorite thing about SSR as well. For me, the hotel is a break from the hustle and bustle of the parks so I don't want to come home to a place that feels almost as crowded as the parks. SSR provides the most peaceful and serene setting for relaxing downtime. My second favorite...

    **Disney After Hours - Animal Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    This is regarding MK, so I'm not sure how applicable it is but I'll share anyway. We are doing a trip with ONLY an MK DAH ticket (no regular park tickets, no AP tickets) linked to my MDE account. Park hours the day I'm going are 9am-9pm. I was able to book 3 FPs but the latest I was able to...

    **Disney After Hours - Animal Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    We felt some of this too when we went in April 2016. On the one hand, it was really awesome and stress-free to enjoy the parks with almost no other people in sight. But on the other hand...it was hard to get used to there being no other people around and it definitely creates an entirely...

    **Disney After Hours - Animal Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    If memory serves, this is how the first MK After Hours events were. We went to one of the very first ones offered (in April 2016) and at that time, they were giving away tickets to DVC and AP members, media entities, sometimes just random hotel guests. All the talk on the forums was that this...
