    Dining Plan Returning

    Guilty! Im that person having a melt down. After dishing out nearly $10K on a Disney vacation, I would not want to come home owing another $3000K + Just pay in advance and enjoy the vacation without thinking about how I just spent $40 on a couple of pancakes. I really want deluxe back, but...

    Trader Sam’s on a MNSSHP evening…

    I have never been! But, I have stayed at the Poly plenty of times (2 week trips each time) and dined/shopped there multiple times if staying elsewhere. From what I can tell by the hallway wait lines and outside, busiest times are pre-dinner (4 - 6), then again around 9pm. If you can get there...

    Dining Plan Returning

    I usually go on the Deluxe plan. I think, in 2019, I paid $125pp/pn. Went again 2021 and had to pay OOP. Vowed never to go back until DP came back! Cost me around $200 - $300 per meal for 3 people and it wasnt even character or signature dining $500ish per day, no snacks, no alcohol. I...

    Dining Plan Returning

    Same. I wont eat counter service daily, if ever, while on vacation. At disney, this is especially true as its an opportunity to get off my feet for an hour and recharge for the remainder of the day. Love the idea of pre paying and not coming home to a large bill. Also love having every option...

    The future of the Disney Store - a big mistake? What went wrong for the Disney Stores?

    Exactly, and with the license being sold, quality is completely different with everything you buy. Nothing consistent buying online. An item from Target might be great, but buy it at Kolhs and it doesnt fit or feel the same.

    The future of the Disney Store - a big mistake? What went wrong for the Disney Stores?

    This is what happens when you sell your license to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Just before logging onto this site, I saw an Ad from Old Navy selling Disney apparel. You can go to any department store and get it. Hot Topic sells not only the apparel, but lots of accessories, bags and gifts...

    Help me plan my 2023 $16K SOLO vacation!

    Thank you so much for all of that great DVC info. I will look into it and price it out! I know The Contemporary doesnt have a business center! Looked into it when I stayed last year and lost my charger. Other than that, I have no idea, but will get on the ball and look for good one! Thank...

    Help me with Epcot day on arrival date

    Yes, worth it! Youll have all afternoon and night to be there, and get to see the nighttime show! Only thing that might hold me back it the ages of your kids and what time the flight is. They might be super tired from all day of travel. If they dont typically have extra energy to spare, Id...

    Help me plan my 2023 $16K SOLO vacation!

    Ive had a dream, and until now, its just been a dream. I never thought it could actually become reality until this year. My dream... to spend 1 month at Disney and dine at as many TS as possible! I have 3 children and my last will be heading off to college this fall. I have a full time job...

    MK to Grand Floridian?

    Definitely the ferry there, the monorail going back, if time is a factor. If you just want off your feet for a bit and to see all the sights of the monorail, then take it to the GF. It stops inside the Contemporary, shows a nice aerial view of the MK entrance at the transportation and ticket...

    Grocery stores by you?

    I go at 7am on a Sunday and its always quiet....just the way I like it. Did have to run there mid week after work a few days ago and it w very busy. I suspect, like myself, people are buying a few different items, downgrading to store brand on some items, eating more pork and chicken instead...

    Big Brother summer 2022

    I have seen a thing about it, but if it is the first week of July, that seems very on par with what it usually is. I recall always being on vacation during 4th of July week (pre covid) and setting my DVR!

    Board not as active anymore?

    Im usually mostly on the boards when I have a trip planned. No trip planned for the near future. Went last summer and while the practically vacant parks were amazing, everything else was pretty terrible. Lots of things under construction for one. The constant need to use my phone was...

    Disney themed Graduation Caps?

    My daughter graduated from high school last week and decorated her cap. She worked on it in secret, and when I saw the finished product, I almost cried. She definitely shares the DIS genes with me :) Anyone else's child decorate their cap? (Doesnt have to be Disney :) ) Share those hard...

    Any plan in place for the dining plan to return

    For what its worth.....when talking to a CM friend of mine (attraction attendant at AK..nothing big, but huge Disney fan like us!) I mentioned I dont have plans to go back until they bring back the dining plan, his reply was "I wouldnt count on that". At best, I would take that as its not going...

    Review My ADRs, Please

    Not sure what validation you're looking for. If that is what you like, then go for it. WC for the lunch is good. Nice break from the mid day heat on a pool day. I prefer Via Napoli, but its just personal preference

    Lunch Ideas

    I love Grand Floridian Cafe for a nice quiet lunch. For comfort food, a little loud, but still really delicious is Beaches and Cream (ferry from the boardwalk). For a sandwich or burger, Gasparillas at GF is good too. Im not a fan of Kona or Captian Cooks but others seem to love it...
