    Do you cook on Friday nights?

    Typically I don’t, but since we are building a house, we are trying to cut back on miscellaneous spending.

    Disney Hotel Prices are Out of Control!

    1) Discounts are not yet released for that time frame. There should probably be a real discount of 15% to 30% coming out for that time. (Usually the “Sun and Fun”) 2) there may be a cheerleading competition going on at that time frame so the demand is a little bit higher then.

    Need to change to a cheaper resort!

    There are 4 bus stops around the resort, but they do not share with any other resort. We are going to Coronado at the beginning of August, I’m very excited!

    New Credit Card Authorization Holds

    It’s true that holds are an industry-wide occurrence, the odd difference is the way Disney is adding the additional hold charges. I’ve stayed in all kinds of hotels. I’ve had holds from $25 to a few hundred dollars. Most hotels don’t have charge to your room privileges outside of room service...

    Magic Bands Upgrade

    Wohoo! I’ve been checking out the decorative bands for our August trip. But really didn’t want to drop another $60-$70 on them since it’s just a short 3 day trip, only 2 park days. BUT I might be willing to pay $30ish.

    Worst Things About Animal Kingdom?

    I felt like everything was so har to find and disconnected. We literally walked around in circles. It was by far my least favorite park.

    Can I bring my own coffee maker to an all star resort?

    It’s for fire safety. Especially for things with heating elements. If you look a lot of places prefer you didn’t even bring curling irons or hair straighteners. That’s why they provide hair dryers too. It’s not a Disney rule, it’s commonplace among many hotels.

    Why does it have to be so hard to get mod. Hotel

    Have you called Disney directly or maybe contacted a Disney Travel agent? They may be able to scope something out for you. It may be possible to do split stays too maybe. Maybe a resort has one or two nights and then another has one or two. If you stay onsite then the resorts will move your...

    School lunch ideas for real kids

    It’s really not hard. Maybe 15 minutes or so the night before. Some things like the pancakes I make extra small ones if we have breakfast for dinner or use extra bacon. Sanevwith the pasta. I put a few extra noodles in.

    School lunch ideas for real kids

    Yep. Everybody so often something comes home, but most days it’s all gone. I sometimes send a little bag of pretzels with my oldest if he still wants a little something st the end.

    Smoking Ban

    What I fear will happen now is you’ll be in even more if a stream of smokers lighting up on the walk from the bus drop-offs to the entrances, trying to get innthat lay minute smoke. I hate walking behind smokers. Or they’ll just crowd around the outside of the security lines. Like when you walk...

    Have you done either of the Cozumel Dolphin Encounter excursions?

    We did the Dolphinarius Encounter with our kids a few years ago, on a Carnival Excursion. The Dolphinarius facility was nice, But be warned the photo packages are CRAZY expensive.

    H&V, Mama Melrose or Tusker House

    Mama Melrose was one of the best meals I’ve ever had anywhere. Delicious.

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    The rotation wasn’t even a problem, it’s just the way the booths were set up. It made the character interaction difficult. And the circle layout of the whole thing made it weird for servers and other people to constantly be scooting past our table. We were near the kitchen door so it was just...

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    Garden Grill. I wouldn’t say I couldn’t wait to try it, but I had heard so many good things I felt secure with our reservation. Food was very bland. Character interaction was weird. Tables were awkward.

    Food budget for 2 weeks?

    THIS! I set up an excel sheet. Looked up All our booked meals. And estimated snacks. I had a column for each person. (You’d only need 1 then), took the total of the meals and multiplied it by .065 (the 6.5% tax) Then that number by .20 (the 20% tip). And that gave me the total for that meal...

    New Credit Card Authorization Holds

    Disney **is** doing multiple holds. Pretty much every time you spend $100 you get another $100 hold. People are leaving with several hundred dollars in holds. It’s essentially holding just about as much as you are spending.

    New Credit Card Authorization Holds

    YES! I think they main point here is “Clearly defined”. That is severely lacking here. They should have put out ranges like: Between $1-399 will have $X hold; $400-$699 will have $X hold $700-$999 will have $X hold. $1000 and above have $X hold. Then guests would clearly be able to know where...
