So here's the skinny: We are going back to Mandara. It. Was. Awesome. A little pre-planning goes a long way. We got two 80-minute custom massages on Groupon, and two hand and foot rituals on a different groupon. I did not realize the hand and foot rituals were manicures and pedicures, but they...

We are back from 9 days of F&W enjoyment with friends. It is still adults-only for us. As soon as any of us get around to procreating, I suppose they'll be joining us as well. We did the Parisian Breakfast, which was wonderful, and those mimosas were SO free-flowing. I'd like to reiterate my...

I was completely prepared to HATE BOG and at the same time didn't want to deprive my husband of the experience, so I just kept my mouth shut about that expectation. He wanted to go, and I wanted to have a glass of wine with my dinner. We really, really just wanted to see it for ourselves. But...

I can see that. It was my hope that people would find comfort in the fact that we missed our fastpass completely and managed to get a standby seat with no advance waiting or any other rigamarole. There was empty space in the last section of standby, too. I'm sure the view was better elsewhere...

We didn't need the ROL package to get a seat. It might have been on the far side, but we got standby seating just fine, just as the show was starting. I found the view to be fine.

We pulled the trigger on our Amazon Now delivery from halfway through our flight. It had arrived to the Beach Club by the time we did, but the resort could not find it at Bell Services, or the front desk, or the Yacht Club. We knew we'd used the right address, and I did say that delivery needed...

This statement makes me sad. Nobody's spawn should be permitted to ruin anyone else's meal ambiance. That's what Disney Babysitting Service is for. Let the kids eat pizza and cheeseburgers at the Kids' Club at the hotel, and go have a nice meal out. They'll have a way better time and so will all...

Our friends used fuel rods while they were there last week. It was definitely something I might consider if we were spending all day commandoing the parks. We've got battery packs we charged in the room at night and also charged during afternoon breaks.

I would caution on Narcoossee right now. I don't know what happened there, but we had a stellar experience as it should be the first time we went (during free dining, no less!) and an absolutely awful experience last week. The food was good, and the other elements that should wrap around a meal...

This restaurant was a surprising hit for us. The chicken was delectable, and I had the donuts and fries as well. My meal must have been ready before the rest of our table, because my donuts and fries arrived at a less-than-optimal temperature. When I inquired if the donuts were supposed to be...

I'm absolutely THRILLED to hear of it. If they even come close to offering a craft brew assortment (I'm from Seattle, so that bar is exceptionally high), then I'm there. Good times.

We're headed there in a few days, and we had no issues adding another to our reservation, but it was also at 10pm because it's our second day and we're all from west-coast time zone areas. That may have had something to do with it.

There's always the opportunity for EMH to push things out until 1am.

We have two extra spots at BOG on November 5 out of our four-person reservation. I'm imagining this will become availability for additions to someone else's, or a fresh 2-person. BOG on 11/4 @ 7:45. Willing to coordinate drop right up until day-of, since there is no penalty for holding it.

Boo. Hiss. Was hoping for coloured handles. We'll *somehow* survive. Hubby and I will be passing cooties back and forth because we can't tell the cups apart when their lids are off and we're getting coffee for each other in the morning, but he has sweet cooties, so I don't mind. :)

We are going to pack three sets of shoes for WDW - two sturdy pairs of sneakers and some sandals of some sort, though neither of us likes to tour in flip flops for more than about a day. We each have waterproof sneakers for that, too. We are bringing back our Disney ponchos from last time, when...

Prime Now also seems to be avoiding the $5 per package delivery charge that every other Amazon delivery system cannot. We'll be ordering for delivery the day we arrive, but we'll do it probably from the air on the way.

Good to know!!! We just picked up a Groupon for the hand and foot ritual for both of us and we're going to take our chances on getting one for the actual massage, hoping one comes out before we go. *fingers crossed!* I also shortened the actual massage because hands and feet are getting their...

If he's currently all about sleeping on the floor, I'd go ahead and let him, without worrying about getting him a bed option or rails. Maybe a sleeping bag, or bring his favourite comforter from home rolled up in a bag. Amazon can deliver in one day if there are issues that need solving with...

Thanks for the Groupon suggestion. I'm on it now, and they're out of the custom massages, but they have the hands and feet. Hrm... If anyone knows how often they refresh their groupon offer, I'm all ears.
