    ANNUAL PASSES ARE BACK!!!

    I may have missed it since I skimmed REALLY quickly through the thread. On the AP page, I saw this quote: Make and hold up to 5 theme park reservations at a time on a rolling basis Y'all let me know if I'm interpreting the above correctly: IF I decide to get a pass on the 13th, does that mean...

    Tropical threat?? Leaving in 9 days...

    Good thread, and much needed info for me and my family. We're actually leaving Saturday AM from NC, and will check in on Sunday for the week. Based on what everyone is saying here, I think we're going to ride it out and HOPE that it gets a big westward kick. My only issue is that DD has to...

    Hauling golf clubs to WDW

    Son and I are playing LBV when we go down at the end of the month, and this thread is exactly what I've been looking for. Since the wife and I are driving, I'll toss my clubs in the back of the car, but my son's been debating about bringing his clubs or renting since he's flying in from a...

    Yet more digital card questions

    Done and done. Very simple process. Held for about 6-8 minutes with guest services (I chose the technical option #6 I think), and talked to the cast member about 5 minutes. Was walked straight through the process, got the member ID and access code and my wife was logged in quickly. I did...

    Yet more digital card questions

    Hold on. So both me and my wife need our own DVC account? We've always used the original account that I created when we first joined, which has been based around my email. Now, she has her own MDE account, but whenever she logs into DVC, she uses my info. Based on what you posted, she needs...

    How to get a young child to wear a mask?

    Funny thing about kids and masks. I work in a school system, and our PreK and elementary kids across the district have been GREAT at wearing masks this entire year. As a matter of fact, that group has done significantly better than their older counterparts. They love it because they feel like...

    Handheld fans

    We have something like this. DW bought it a few years ago. It's great on a hot day when you're standing in a queue that doesn't have much air moving through it. It's definitely not something that we keep out all day as we walk around. We just use it for those hot, humid times standing in line.

    Saratoga Springs

    Several years ago when we were at the beach, I bought a $5 pair at a Target to keep the sand that was drug into the house of my feet. I pack them for every vacation now. We've stayed at SSH several times over the years. Actually stayed there last July when we went, and it was great. Past...

    Any Jambo House reopening rumors?

    I'm at Jambo next month. Really wanting Boma to open up before we go....., but I'm resigned to that not happening.

    How have you lost weight?

    I've talked to my doctor about this, and he says try to lose 1-2 pounds a week. He said 1-2 pounds per week is the best way to keep the weight off once you get to your total loss goal. I've used my fitness pal before, and when I logged everything that I ate, I found that I was able to drop...

    At what age did you stop using a stroller for your child at the Disney parks?

    First trip with our kids was when they were 7 and 4. We've never taken or rented a stroller. I would occasionally throw the 4 year old on my shoulders for a quick rest, but other than that, they walked the entire time.

    Help! Looking for New Dad Jokes

    How do you kill a polar bear? Kick it in the icehole. Funny thing is, my son, who is 20, told this one to his girlfriends parents, so the apple isn't falling far from the tree :)

    So sick and tired being on hold or busy signal

    Multiple times on hold this week. However, I did get a lot done while I was holding so that the 4 hours I was on hold over 3 phone calls went by a little faster than if I had just sat around waiting on someone to pick up. And like others, I've not been able to get the chat to load either, so...

    Best time for teachers to visit?

    Idaho, couple of things for you to consider. If your spring break is CONSISTENTLY the 3rd week of March, take a look at when Easter falls. Many (not all) districts usually do spring break either the week before or week after Easter, and if you look at crowd calendars, the week before and after...

    Best time for teachers to visit?

    As I'm in the same profession, I totally understand where you're coming from. I've gone quite a few times over spring break. Yes it's busy, but we've done it a few times and have a pattern that works well for us and allows us to do what we want to do, but it's crazy busy and if you have...

    Avoiding the strange walk in the park-asking about undergarments.

    Good thread. I know that they can cost a little more, but spending the extra money to get any type of moisture wicking underwear is worth it. I prefer boxers for everyday wear, but for Disney and long hours at the soccer yard, I prefer the moisture wicking boxer briefs. Wet with sweat or wet...

    Rejected 22 times...

    Sorry that it didn't work out for you. I can tell you that my daughter did the same as you: applied for every kind of internship available, and I'm wanting to think that she applied for over 30. She was fortunate enough to get one, but it was not without a lot of angst and worry as it came...

    Considering doing the Disney College Program

    I'll comment too as my daughter was did the CP program June 18 through early January 19. She worked at Beaches and Cream and loved it. Now, they are a lunch/dinner/ice cream quick serve joint and the hours are 11a to 11p, so she most definitely had some late night shifts. She lived in...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    I can speak about my DDs experience as a CP from June (2018) to January (2019). She was in Patterson court and there were 6 of them in the room. The first couple of months were a natural feeling out process as they got to know each other, but once they got through that, it seemed to go well...

    Less than 30 days. Any suggestions for Father/son activities

    Go get a dessert from Beaches and Cream if you haven't done so previously. Maybe you'll see my daughter working there!
