    Austism: refuses to travel anymore

    I obviously can't answer as to someone else's intentions, however, as an adult with autism (Aspergers) I can say that I can relate to this situation with myself. Outside of a specific incident happening which would make me avoid a repeat scenario, sometimes I just go through 'moods' as we have...

    Non-Alcoholic drink selections

    Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I couldn't find any complete information in one spot so thought I would ask myself. At the moment I am really only able to drink unsweet iced tea or bottled water. I'm not worried about water while walking the parks but what is the availability like in...

    Is on-property worth it?

    I love the Sequoia so much.. my resort of choice. Ive made the walk around the lake at night many times and I have never once felt unsafe or worried. There is loads of security around and the walkway is really well lit. Ive had a few night walks around the Sequoia property as well which is...

    Toddlers!

    That price looks pretty decent to me. Especially for a Golden Forest room.. so I wouldn't feel shy in giving it my thumbs up :) I usually try to take advantage of the early Feb deals and low season pricing around that time of year to bring cost down if that is an option for you. I can't really...

    Pooh sized Disneyland Paris question

    I paid more attention on my most recent trip and thought I would post a quick follow up for anyone in the need. I went on everything except Dumbo and Flying carpets and I had no problems on any ride at a top heavy size 22UK and 5' tall. Some of the kids rides were a little tight but I fit fine...

    EMH Reducing to 1 hour BUT in BOTH parks...

    Ive never really used EMHs more the once or twice in the past. I think I would really prefer if they were at night then the morning but I understand it from a family with kids perspective. It could also be cool if they alternated morning and evening EMHs and even alternate parks. I especially...

    Plaza Gardens Restaurant - reviews

    Visited the Plaza Gardens for dinner on 14 June 2017. Very crowded day at the park and this place was backed up with guests. We had a reservation and waited approx 10 min for our table. 2 seat tables (and 2 seat tables pushed together to make 4+ seats) were stacked close together making it very...

    Agrabah Cafe - reviews

    We had lunch at the Agrabah on 15 June 2017. We had a reservation and only waited about 10-15 min for our table. It was very crowded and the non reservation line backed up to outside the door by the time we finished our meal. Since the last review that I see in the thread the price has...

    Bell's Palsy?

    My best friend's mother had a bad case of this during a late life pregnancy and it affected the left side of her face rather dramatically. The whole side of her face looked like it had slid down. It came on unexpectedly and it was quite scary at the time. She was taken to the ER they were afraid...

    Dumped before Disney

    Oh wow I'm so sorry to hear that. No way would I take him though that is just asking for drama and trouble. I agree with everyone else don't bring that kind of baggage. Go alone or with a friend/family member and have a great time. Maybe some other solo peoples from the board will be there when...

    People talking during the movie.

    What a bummer when that happens. I had to report some really chatty people before. I don't confront them on my own but I quietly tell one of the staff that its bothersome and they take care of it usually.

    Here We (or "I") Go Again!!!! A note to other Soloists!!!

    Solo trips are so intimidating to me and I have not braved one yet. At the same time, its really hard for me to get anyone to go with as I'm the only Disney nut in my circle. Its encouraging to read these reports/plans of confident soloists! Maybe someday :)

    Do any of you just wing it?

    We used to only pre-plan our ADR and what park we wanted to do that day (usually planned around where we were eating) but never really made touring plans more detailed then that. We found that we were wasting a lot of time wandering and walking doing it that way. We make loose plans now to...

    Fidgets or Fidget Spinners at MK/WDW?

    I have a bracelet very similar to that. It has a lot of interesting surface and texture to it that I find helps me a lot. Plus that one is really pretty! :)

    Scrappers - what do you do with them?

    If I like the pin I hang onto it for my own collection. That includes any scrappers on cast lanyards etc. I try not to trade scrappers if I'm aware of them. I haven't done much trading in the parks but I have a few store purchased pins that I don't really care about that I keep around to trade...

    Buying pins off eBay?

    I avoid buying in lots on ebay because for me they have almost always resulted in mostly scrappers (though I did get a pink Eeyore once which was cute :). Sometimes if its a seller that doesn't list pins often or its a very small lot its fine. You often get what you pay for. I usually only buy...

    Dining Reservations - 60 days ahead?

    I've not had a problem getting reservations closer to date for anyplace. I used concierge desk during a Feb. trip without problem when I arrived. For an upcoming trip in June I did call ahead the other day and the lady mentioned that they don't get as many reservations by phone ahead of dates. I...

    Help needed with US holiday.

    Its not tropical beach-ish but the lake areas in New York are really beautiful in the summer. We used to vacation there every year and they don't get to hot. Lake George is a great holiday location and there is tons to do. The closest airport is Albany I think. Lake Ontario and Lake Erie are...

    American trip report to DLP

    I'll chime in. I am yet another American and I found the food at DLP really hit or miss when I was there last Feb. Some of it was really good. The Agraba Cafe and Silver Spur were 2 of my favorites but some of the 'fancier' ones we went to like The Steakhouse and the yacht club were not good at...
