If anyone is staying at YC/BC anytime soon and gets a milkshake from Beaches and Cream with one of those souvenir cups...would anyone mind selling me an extra? If you have one and someone you love put it in the dishwasher, you know why I need a replacement. Merchandise services won't sell me...

Funny you ask about SAB being overcrowded. It was really hard to find a chair a long time ago, as in my 1995 trip. To be fair, there was no Boardwalk then, nor was there Animal Kingdom, so people likely spent more time in the pools. On my other more recent trips, including one in June 2017...

I loved the ride!! I did it back in July and while I'm not a fan of the VQ deal (I like to be free of over- scheduling and technology when I go on vacation) the ride was definitely worth it. One word of advice: don't wear boat shoes or sandals. The one problem I had with the ride was wondering...

So I just read through this thread and saw I didn't give any awards for bad customer service. This one goes way back to 2000. It was on a cart on the Boardwalk (don't recall the exact name of it) and I was there with Grandma. She ordered a Diet Coke. Now that sounds like about the easiest order...

I've heard mixed reviews about so many things at Disney anymore with food. I have a friend whose reviews I trust 100% tell me he was severely disappointed in V&A's last time. All of my food at WDW was pretty good last go-round, but I was disappointed with how sweet the strawberry syrup was in...

Epcot is honestly pretty easy to split between two days. World Showcase can eat up a lot of time if you really explore it. Future World is usually a half day gig if you do everything and World Showcase can really be a big one to spend time at. This gives you more time to explore the various...

Best advice for snagging Cinderella's Royal Table: - figure out when it's 60 days beforehand - set your alarm for 6:55 AM eastern time - log on to your computer as soon as the alarm goes off - snag that reservation at 7:00 I speak from experience. I tried to book a table there for lunch for one...

I got a sticker last year when my cousin gave me a DVC room for a few nights at GF. I booked two trips this year, just through Disney's site itself, and got nothing. There also used to be some artwork they'd send after you got home way back when...I have one that's Mickey and one I think is...

We're getting to be regulars there, have taken two trips this year and one last year, so I guess I'm qualified to answer this now...used to go every odd-numbered year for a while so I knew it was heading in this direction anyhow. I find it's more or less a matter of how many days you go. My...

Oh wow! Shame they don't have that policy anymore. I know the gift card companies had to make their cards last longer at one point, interesting to see this basically in reverse here. Hmm, wonder if the few Disney Dollars I have sitting around from the 90s could still be used? :) Nah, those are...

It's actually a problem where any high number causes inflammation and brain fog. She can take very small amounts of sugar, like a little honey in her yogurt, and seems to be better off with unprocessed sugars (honey is one, but she does very well with eating fruit). It's cane sugar that seems to...

My hunch is no, and here's why... My wife and I got two days worth of park tickets due to compensation from this past year. We were told they are good through the end of 2025. I would imagine your tickets expired in 2008 at the latest if this is similar to today's tickets.

Now that my wife has a known issue with seed oils and added sugar (which I'm glad we found the culprits), it's getting very hard to eat out. Restaurants need to be aware of the less noted allergies. It's one thing to cut out gluten or peanuts. It's another when the issues are a bad reaction to...

I had good luck on the last trip with two deluxe restaurants. First was Yachtsman. We didn't technically book it until the day of our meal because so many times weren't showing. However, cancellations tend to happen last minute. We also had originally planned to go to fireworks at the Magic...

Star Tours is one of the best in this respect. I seem to remember the lines being far longer back in the 90s, but now it's pretty easy to get on. Peter Pan is great and worth every minute of the wait. I can say the same about Mine Train. Strategy? Rope drop Peter Pan. Duke it out after lunch...

I feel Disney should return primarily to top-tier destination retail districts. A good example: Easton Town Center in Columbus, OH. While locals may go there to shop, there are folks who come from out of town (note the hotels nestled within the property) to escape to a day or two of shopping...

My wife has a fanny pack that doesn't sit on her fanny but instead goes over her shoulder. She bought it for a trip and actually uses it now in place of a purse. Then you have me. Even when I went solo, I'd just stuff my shorts pockets--camera in one, park pass in another, maybe some gum for a...

Count me in as someone who agrees with going to Beach Club. The reasons: 1. Two parks within walking/boating distance, no bus required (Poly has only one) 2. Stormalong Bay!!! 3. Great dining choices in the area 4. Good quality rooms...did BC in 2019 and YC this month and can attest to both...

Another vote for Chef Mickey's here!!

For your HS day...I'd consider taking the boat to the Boardwalk/YC/BC area and having a meal over there. Cape May, as pointed out, has a good character breakfast. You could always do that as your big meal that day. Trattoria al Forno used to have a character breakfast but it seems that never...
