    October 20 - 26 Fantasy Cruise

    My husband and I will be on this cruise along with my sister, brother in law, and two adult nieces. It will be their first ever cruise, and our fifth on DCL after an almost 10 year hiatus (where did the time go?!?). We're extremely excited to have 2 days on Castaway Cay and a day at Lighthouse...

    Dooney & Bourke Disney collaboration ~ part 4

    Thanks for the heads up! I was actually at WDW from 11/30 and just got home today. It was crazy how readily available the Santa Tails line was in person! I found the tote, crossbody, and backpack at every park and at Disney Springs, and the tote came home with me. :) I was also able to snag a...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    My husband was mostly in charge of Genie+/LL during our trip (I helped as a 2nd with the 7am bookings) and typed up the following observations about the trip we just got back from today. HTH someone! :) We just completed a split stay 11/30-12/3 at the Boardwalk and 12/4-12/7 at the Poly and...

    Is it possible nothing available??

    We will be at WDW 11/30-12/7, and we booked our trip a few days after the 60 day mark. I too have had extreme difficulty finding reservations anywhere other than Disney Springs...and Epcot has been the worst. I resorted to using 2 paid reservation finder services to get almost all of my...

    Pictures of characters picking up/holding children?

    I have photos of our daughter being held by several characters -- Alice, Cinderella, Belle, and Mary Poppins -- that were taken at CRT in late 2004 on our first trip to WDW as a family of 3. At the time, our daughter was 23 months old, and looked just like a real life version of Boo from...

    Jingle Bell Jingle Bam…not happening??

    Us too! I assumed it was cancelled for this year since we haven't heard anything about it yet, but I would book it in a heartbeat if it suddenly became available.

    Does the 1 bedroom club level room at the Beach Club have 1 or 2 sleeper sofas?

    Same. Agreed. Our daughter (an only child) stayed on the sleeper sofa. Fortunately she sleeps with earbuds in and didn't hear me getting up every night, but I still worried about waking her up. The bigger issue for us was me getting ready in the morning, though -- she likes to sleep in, and if...

    Red-eye flight from west coast- hotel check in

    I have done this many times at regular hotels, but haven't attempted it on property at WDW (yet). One year we did fly in from CA on a red eye and arrived at our hotel (POFQ) at 9 am, and we checked in and expected to just leave our bags with bell services and head to the parks. To our great...

    :crying: Please someone help (Space 220)

    If by any chance you are still interested, may I suggest signing up for one of the paid alert services? In years past, the Touring Plans alert service typically was able to help me get everything I wanted...but I am finding that this year is an entirely different story, unfortunately. I signed...

    Do you tour the parks in the rain?

    Unless it's really cold (40s or lower), we power through rainy days. My husband always brings a backpack with flip flops in a ziplock bag for each person in our party, and if the rain is more than a light one, we take off our sneakers and socks, put on the flip flops, and store the sneakers and...

    Walt's Lodge crossbody just popped back in stock if anyone is still ISO that item.

    Dooney & Bourke Disney collaboration ~ part 4

    You are so kind. :) I completely appreciate that this is a first world problem and am kind of embarrassed by my overreaction, lol! But I really appreciate your post and willingness to let us know if you see them pop back in stock. I'm checking obsessively, haha! I noticed the same about the...

    Dooney & Bourke Disney collaboration ~ part 4

    FYI if anyone's looking for it, the Walt's Lodge tote just popped back in stock! ETA: I did receive both the tote and the crossbody from my Walt's Lodge order late last week. I love the pattern, and placement was shockingly fantastic on both! However, had I known that the Santa Tails line was...

    Dooney & Bourke Disney collaboration ~ part 4

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! They are already sold out!!! I can't believe I missed this! None of my usual sources knew this drop was coming! I tried to purchase as soon as I read this and they were already gone. :worried:

    BOARDWALK INN vs BOARDWALK VILLAS

    We have stayed on both the Inn side and the BWV side. Two of my favorite rooms in all of WDW are there -- the Garden Cottages on the Inn side, and the 1BR on the BWV side. In both of these rooms, the bed is a King, and it's one of the reasons we love them, as my husband is 6'6", and there aren't...

    Rose and Crown Fireworks Package

    Does anyone happen to know if a plant based option is available for this event? I see that the "Savory Impossible Hot Pot" is an option on the regular menu, but it's rather conspicuously left off of the prix fixe menu. I booked this earlier today, never imagining that there wouldn't be a plant...

    Nothing available at Epcot?

    Ugh, of course today is the one day I haven't been checking! I had a Covid booster + flu shot yesterday and haven't been feeling well...have been sleeping a lot and am really sore all over and just didn't have the energy to check. Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully I'll be able to get one...

    Nothing available at Epcot?

    Same! We booked late too, as we had to change our dates. I'm so envious that you were able to score H&V -- I've had 3 different reservation finders set up for that one, and I haven't gotten a single alert about it! I've also been checking multiple times a day and never find anything. My nieces...

    Nothing available at Epcot?

    I sent you a message. :) We were late to booking too, as we had to change our dates. I'd have very few reservations right now without the alert services...they have been extremely helpful for me, and I hope they will be for you too!
