    SSR and AKL lots of questions

    I stayed at AKL in a studio in Jambo House last August on rented points, and just got back from a week-of-Christmas stay in a Standard Studio at Saratoga Springs resort using our own points as we are new DVC members. Comparing the two resorts, I would say that AKL actually won in the...

    Britax B-Agile vs City Mini

    I love our City Mini travel system! The car-seat is very easy to install with or WIHTOUT the base (great for traveling!!) and it's super easy to attach to the stroller with the adapters. The adapters come on and off easily for when you want to use the stroller without the car seat. The City...

    Question on ROL FastPass importance?

    We had originally reserved a ROL dining package for our first AK day. When I made the reservation, it was for the 2nd ROL showing, and according to the event time, it said 9pm. When we got to Tiffins, they said that the show times were adjusted, and that the 2nd showing was now at 10pm. We...

    Flying Fish - Old menu items

    I personally LOVE the new menu. I had the potato-wrapped snapper from the old menu before the redo, and felt it to be dry and over cooked, and not really that flavorful. They did have a sushi roll on the old menu that I LOVED, and am sad to see go. We ate at FF right after the re-opening, and I...

    New signature card at Crystal Palace

    Are you sure you don't mean that you no longer received a signed card for your birthday, but receive the printed signatures on the honey pot instead? I really don't see how they can stop just one set of characters from signing, guests would be in an uproar.

    Advice for in the parks with a 6 month old (also how to manage Formula feeding on the trip)

    My formula only comes in a big can, no smaller cans or to-go packets either. I did use a formula that had the packets, and I fell in love with them for on the go, so I decided to make my own. I found these neat little ziplock pouches online, and I plan on trying them out before our trip to see...

    Clothing questions for ladies/moms...

    I love capris that are that swishy "windbreaker" material, (I cant think of a better way to describe them) I get them at Kohls. Brands I've had in the past are Kohls store brands and Lee. For the rubbing/chafing issue, you HAVE to get this product, Gold Bond Friction Defense!!! It goes on...

    Question about Ponchos

    We went last year during Hurricane Matthew, and I was so glad to have purchased the Disney ponchos!!! They were nice and thick, and held up great to the wind and hard rain showers that we experienced leading up to the hurricane itself. They were easy enough to fold back up and stick in the bag...

    DDP - can an adult get food from the kids' menu?

    I would suggest paying out of pocket for her kids meals, and using the extra credits to allow for more TS meals or to get to eat at some Signatures. That way, you are getting more bang for your buck, especially if you are on a free dining plan!

    What to pack for first trip with a 6 month old?? In August!!

    Great ideas on ordering in Amazon! I was thinking Garden Grocer, but I noticed they didn't have my formula. I assume there's an extra change for delivery to my hotel?? I almost forgot swim diapers! I keep them stocked at our lake place, but I'll add that to the Amazon order. I will...

    Double stroller rental -- car seat??

    I agree with mjkacmom. BUT, if you wish to use the carseat, the City Mini Double and City Mini GT double (both rentable from Kingdom strollers) can take the Graco snugride 35 with a very un-obtrusive adapter that will fold up with the stroller. It's super easy to take the car seat on and off...

    High Chairs for younger babies?

    Thanks Hope Soda, tanyali26, and TinkLoverSam! That makes me feel more at ease about going to restaurants knowing it's a possibility to take the stroller. I'll still have my Tula (or other soft-sided carrier, I'm wanting one more heat-friendly), so I won't be completely SOL if they won't let...

    High Chairs for younger babies?

    We will have mostly character breakfasts, around 9-10am; and dinners (about half at signatures), usually around 7pm. I know in October when we ate at Yachtsman, there was a couple that had a stroller at the table with them, it was in the recline position as their LO was sleeping. It may be why...

    High Chairs for younger babies?

    We are planning to go in August with our then 6mo son. He's very small for his age, only weighing 12lbs at his 4month checkup. As of now (a little under 2 months to go) he's not able to sit-up unassisted, and is still a bit wobbly in his bumbo seat. He cannot sit in a regular wooden...

    What to pack for first trip with a 6 month old?? In August!!

    Due to having him so early, and him being in NICU and not able to feed well, my body wasn't able to produce hardly any milk via pumping alone. By the time he was able to consistently feed on his own, I was dry :-( We used donated milk for a while, (my sister was pregnant at the same time as...

    What to pack for first trip with a 6 month old?? In August!!

    My little guy is tiny, still just shy of 13lbs and 23in long at his 4mo checkup. He was a month premature and born at 4lbs, 4oz, so he's still catching up! He eats fortified formula (added calories by reducing the amount of water per scoop when mixing bottles) still, and it keeps him pretty...
