    ESTA query

    Hey Everyone I was wondering if anyone had had a problem with getting their ESTA, I applied for a new for my DH yesterday and it said approval pending, I am pretty sure this is the first time I've had this happen, usually, we get the ESTA immediately. Thanks Sam

    Car hire with Alamo - Are these prices right?

    I just wanted to jump on this thread and say how much I disagree with never booking on the US websites. I have done this with Alamo on every trip I have booked with them (I flipflop between using Alamo and Avis). I actually use the Alamo.com website and on the Contract ID I put in BRITS as the...

    Highs & Lows from our pre-Xmas trip!

    Hey :) I wanted to come on and read your highs and lows - I didn't realise you got sick boo! I have a couple of questions for you: BLT - OK so having never stayed there what is the outside/Inside differences I've never heard of these before? Where can I see the room layouts? What type of room...

    From Mickey Mouse to The Wildcats - Live Trip Report

    I've been enjoying Matt's blog updates when I wake up at 5.30 in the morning... it reminds me of last year you guys were there just before us and reading the live trippie got me right in the mood and it's happening again! LOVE The Swan, prefer it over the Dolphin but if it was a great...

    Weather Tracking

    So we are now less than 3 weeks out and I am about to become paranoid about the weather - last year we arrived on the tail end of Isaac and we ended up having really good weather. Of course after hearing and reading status updates I just don't know what to expect and LOL I hate the...

    Offsite Restaurants (again!)

    That takes me back - I'm not sure if it is still there - I used to love Darryls on IDrive too but that was like 1996/1998 LOL I love Perkins and Cracker Barrel for breakfast - yummy!

    'Our longest trip yet' LIVE trip report!

    Love the update - live or not - it's great to hear all the things that you did and it looks like Chloe had fun with the characters - I'm hoping for less rain when we are there but the whole fortnight is pretty loose anyway I'm sure it won't muck things up!

    Plus size clothes shops near disney

    I was just about to come in and say the same thing - Lane Bryant deffo still there - but it is an Outlet store so not always the great stuff in there. The Lane Bryant on 192 is brilliant - I love that store. Dillards in Florida Mall, Womens section is also as good as the Macy's Womens...

    Onsite car hire

    The Valet at The Dolphin will move the car over into the right hand lane to give you the time to adjust etc because they do it for me - you just need to tell the valet person that you'll need them to do this for you when you give them the Rental Car ticket so that they know. There's usually...

    Not doing DDP mainly because I hate leaving large tips.

    I tip what I feel the service is worth on-site and off-site. I hate all that talk that those who work a buffet only deserve 15% umm they still serve. Of course I totally appreciate how the more expensive the food bill the more you will need to tip but it is the custom and practice of the...

    Onsite car hire

    I've picked up from Alamo/National at Disney Car Care Center and The Dolphin - personally I prefer the the Dolphin as they just give you the car whereas they tried to do more sales at the car care center. However you get the the shuttle to pick you up and take you to the Center as opposed to...

    'Our longest trip yet' LIVE trip report!

    I love that you cooked a roast! Good for you! So how far is Longboart Key from Disney? Just curious. Character breakfasts are so fun and we love Crystal Palace. Oh and it's all those credits left over why we don't do Dining Plan - I need a Dining plan that gives you just 2 TS credits a day...

    Magic Bands and FP+

    Which makes no sense right? "Right then I've done my 3 FP+ I could stay in the park and spend more money but you know what? Given that I cannot get on a ride with anymore original FP's well hang it we may as well just go to the pool and have supper off-site somewhere!" That's my...

    Magic Bands and FP+

    Cool I just got through with customizing ours although if we have one then I just know I'm going to end buying a different one from WoD LOL We didn't link our tickets more so for the flexibility. Although I was sure I had read somewhere that even whilst using the FP+ for 3 things as long as...

    Animal Kingdom

    The car park should be open if the restaurants are open - I've certainly parked up at AK for just after 7.30am for an 8.15am breakkie ressie at Tusker House.
