    What was YOUR first Disney trip like?

    We were visiting my in-laws in Gainesville for Christmas in 1997 and I saw an article in the newspaper about the new park Animal Kingdom. Decided our kids were probably old enough, so we planned a trip for October 1998 (they were 8, 6, and 3.5 years at the time of the trip). We had a package and...

    Big rental discounts today on Costco! Go go go!! :)

    Congrats, and I would say to keep checking as they can still fluctuate a great deal before November. Unfortunately my rental starts April 28 and they are no longer going down!

    Brown recluse spider in room?

    Hated those hairy looking buggers when we lived in PA! Kept a shoe in the bathroom for smushing. Not sure how CAPSLOCK could catch them, they are so fast!

    Rip Ride Rockit compared to Velocicoaster and Hulk?

    i love Velocicoaster. Have done my share of Hulk rides when we went with the kids, but I skip it now, I don't like the over the shoulder restraints as my head tends to hit it. I do usually ride RRR at least once per trip. Definitely a lot of G force on some parts. Didn't know they were getting...

    October Crowds, outside of HHN?

    Hurricane season runs through the end of November, and with a warmer ocean the season is predicted to be worse than usual. I can remember at least one from early November, you can't be sure one won't hit whichever month you go. I will be in Orlando Sept 25-Oct 1. I don't do HHN either. I don't...

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    Saw that story and wondered if it had been in a carryon or checked luggage. Wouldn't US security have noticed bullets in carryon screening? I agree it is important to check laws in the country where you are going. Not all countries are as gun-happy as the US.

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Saw that deal starts May 3 in a mailer that came to our house recently. We will be flying home from Orlando May 3, guess I will try to take my sam's login with me. (DH's membership expires May 8!) From above posts looks like it can sell out?

    Food & Wine dates announced!

    I agree that it is nice to not always have a party/festival going on, but I can sympathize with those who have to plan their trips so early. There was one year, I had to look back at my photos (2015), that I was at WDW and the first Halloween party was Sept. 15! It was very badly run also...

    Amazing Race season 36

    Yeah, but they had navigation issues the entire race. Wow Amber and Vinny need to break up. He was horrible this leg. First telling her she was working against the team, then saying she had a self-inflicted lack of confidence? ‘I hope you learn from this experience what you are doing to us as a...

    Uber/lyft from offsite hotel to Disney- experiences?

    I have walked to the Contemporary on more than one occasion after late night MK events and called an Uber from there.

    What is the smartest film/TV twist you have ever seen?

    So I haven't seen a lot of the things mentioned above, did like the Newhart ending, but the first thing I thought of was the ending to the movie Body Heat (apparently it was based on Double Indemnity, which I haven't seen either)

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    They weren’t sold out at 1:00, the message I got was something like there were orders waiting to be processed. It said to try again. I kept going back and then clicking on buy again until I got through. I have had the same experience the last couple of years. It has always taken several minutes...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Managed to get in at 1:05 for a $500 GC, then back in at 1:07 for a $100. In past years I have only been able to grab 2 or 3 $100's, so jackpot day! I had never registered my cards online, I wonder if it is possible to use them directly online with Marriott if they are registered.

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Yes. I have done this more than once. I use the 6% cash back to buy some gift cards because I don't spend $6000 a year on groceries at traditional grocery stores. They are a little sneaky about the AF after a year, seems they add it to my online statement only when it closes, so I have ended up...

    BC proximity to EP realistic in August?

    Beach Club benefits are proximity to the Epcot International Gateway entrance and boat or skyline to HS. Proximity to Epcot is not in any way a launching pad for transportation to AK or MK. You will want to take the bus from Beach Club to those locations.

    Send email to wdw guest solutions bring back FP for onsite guests

    I'm offsite for at least half of my trips, so nope, not lobbying for more onsite benefits here! Sometime I have a car, sometimes use Uber or Lyft, it's much less expensive and I have never really cared about the whole Disney bubble thing. I do usually stay onsite at Universal though, much more...

    Arrival Day

    Mk just has too many things we want to ride, Epcot does not have enough for me to bother with G+ there, and at HS I can get Slinky first for later afternoon, then have had success adding ToT, MMRR, MFSR, TSMM, we don't bother with RnRC. The one time I went to HS at rope drop, there was just too...

    How old were you when you first went abroad?

    I don't really count a short excursion into Canada as 'abroad'. Went to Europe when I was 27.

    Scottie Scheffler & Nelly Korda

    Sebastian Korda plays tennis. He did remark once about his sister doing better at golf than he was at tennis. I don’t really follow golf so it doesn’t bother me if one player is dominating.
