    Magical Express Ending Service

    I was really disappointed to see this news. It feels like all the perks of being a resort guest have slowly been taken away and now I am not so sure the inflated price is worth it to us. Unfortunately, unless people actually stop staying there, which we all know won't happen, these type of...

    Announcing your resort stay on the back of your car

    Exactly my thought. I don't friend sketchy people that I think might break into my house. People need to be more discerning about their friends list apparently.

    What will be your breaking point? Resort fees?

    Yesterday I booked an offsite hotel for a quick getaway this fall. I never thought I would be saying that. They started to lose me with the early ADR's and Fastpasses for non resort guests and then the final straw was the parking fees. For years I have watched the crowds get larger, people...

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    Does anyone know if there are any vegetarian entree options at Whispering Canyon Cafe besides the red quinoa cakes? We are headed there for lunch and the quinoa wasn't really thrilling my dd. I suppose she could omit the meats from a salad but that option gets old......

    Paid parking is coming to WDW resorts March 2018

    We won’t stay at hotels that charge a resort fee or parking fees. I find it an offensive practice. Disney will be no different. We get free parking at the parks with the AP and my $400 a night will get me a much ritzier hotel offsite.

    Feb 2018 TR: Fun, Tragedy Strikes, and OMG I Just Flashed Everyone. UPDATED 3/11/18

    Day 4 started out promising… We had to wake up super early because today was the day that we had our “Undiscovered Future World” tour scheduled. I love doing early morning tours because it is so nice to be able to go into the parks before they open. Since Epcot is our favorite, we figured...

    The Uber to Contemporary is a great idea! Thanks for the tip. Definitely going to give this a try when we return in June. We saw the Minnie vans tooling around. They were super cute. Really, the busses are the easiest option but I hate having someone crop dusting my face when it’s standing room...

    And so begins day 3…… Today we started out with a late breakfast at the Whispering Canyon Café. We had eaten here on previous trips for dinner but this was the first time trying out breakfast. The atmosphere was a little bit more laid back than the dinnertime chaos. Our server only gave me...

    Forgot to ask... Does anyone have any insider tips to get to the MK faster without taking the busses?

    Day 2: The Transportation Debacle Our second day started at a relaxing and slow pace. We enjoyed some time watching the animals from our balcony. There always seemed to be 2-3 giraffe and a whole herd of deer with an occasional wildebeest and zebra thrown in the mix. We headed down to the...

    Just Back: 2/3/18 - 2/9/18

    We were there the same dates! I just started my TR on the other thread. We had the same issues with not getting to-go cups in our room beyond the first day. I had to call housekeeping and have some brought up. Other than that, our Mousekeeper was excellent. Restocked our toiletries and TP...

    Flying: Tips for staying healthy

    I usually end up eyeballing everyone looking for coughing people and praying they don’t sit next to me. this trip is just me and hubby so it leaves an open spot in our row. I bought masks. If someone near us is coughing I will put it on. Or maybe hand one to them. lol! I also bought the saline...

    Flying: Tips for staying healthy

    Flying down tomorrow morning and wondering what tips people have for staying healthy in an airplane. This flu has got me pretty freaked out. My tip is bringing chlorox wipes on the plane and wiping down all surfaces. I get some weird looks but whatever. lol

    To all my fellow non rope droppers...

    With the exception of an early character breakfast or tour....We let ourselves sleep until we naturally wake up, have a leisurely coffee, get dressed and then start our day. Our kid is an adult so it’s often just us. After so many trips, we just don’t feel the need to rush around or get in every...

    FOP question

    Thanks to you both! That helps a lot. I appreciate it. Usually I will send my husband to test a ride first but the wait time for fop is just too long to do that.

    FOP question

    Greetings everyone! Can someone give me an idea of how herky jerky fop is? I have herniated discs in my neck (roller coaster injury) and have to be careful on anything too jerky or high speed. I do fine on Star Tours. Is it worse than that? How I miss being able to ride coasters
