    WDW My Magic + Welcome Package

    When we planned our first Disney Vacation 2 years ago - we received in the mail a really nice Disney box with a special Disney flash drive showing a video on how to use the magic bands, etc. It also came with a brochure specific to your hotel and a little booklet with your family name on it...

    What Parks will the podcast crew be in?

    Pete started to tell us at the beginning of the new year what park each podcast member is assigned to each week to visit. He stopped doing this. I am wondering if that is because people were bugging them too much (I can imagine it would drive me crazy), or he just stopped doing it out of time...

    Is Inauguration Day (Jan 20, 2017) a holiday for your school district?

    To the OP - there is one other thing to consider with that time of year - Marathons. January and February gets BUSY not just because of school schedules, but the Marathons are scheduled around that time. There are several to contend with. I do not know the exact dates for next year, BUT I will...

    Cancell room only reservation - what happens to FPs?

    From what I understand from reading the Fast Pass terms - you are within the 30 day window, so they would remain intact. To be sure though, when you call to cancel - just ask. From what I have seen in the past, if you made your FPs at the 60 day mark and cancel at the 45 day mark, then the...

    The Never Ending Story

    I started one of these on another forum a few years ago and it caught on pretty quick, hoping to do the same here. I will begin the story here. Where I leave off, someone else pick up and go with it. Remember to keep it short and try not to run on into each others story lines. At the beginning...

    Researching student loans, wow my head is spinning. Any info?

    I took out loans to go to college. I owe $52K. It sucks, but hey - I signed the loan paper, so all of it is on me. One thing that I do want to tell the OP though.. Do NOT take out a loan for college. Either in your name or your kids name. Cash flow college. They CAN and SHOULD go to a community...

    Language on the shows getting a little too salty?

    I am not going to waste my time going through 5 pages of responses, so here is my take on the OP - sorry if it is a repeat of other responses Who cares? This is not the local news broadcast - which by the way is worse in many respects. I wish they would let loose. They censor themselves very...

    We got our magic bands today! Now we have questions…

    we had to do the exact same thing last year. We had already checked in, but had a car repair that cost close to $1000 that depleted the balance to almost nothing. All you have to do is either call reservations before you arrive and change the credit card on file, or wait until your arrival to...

    Any podcast guest that makes you groan?

    OMG! How did I screw that up? I must have been watching clerks or something when I typed that. I do know your name, sorry for the hilarious mix up. Although - a jersey would look good on you. Just be sure to pick a good team.

    Any podcast guest that makes you groan?

    Oh you are setting yourself up for some crazy times LOL. Pete has lost a lot of weight, People have come and gone, format is about the same, but the rants are awesome! My favorite favorite favorite rant is when Pete started the show intro in September 2015 and the neighbor started up their lawn...

    Ideas to make trip extra special?

    I do not know about his mobility, but a backstage tour would make him feel pretty special :) and he would learn something in the meantime. I do believe that they provide lunch. Or depending on his interest, a lunch with an imagineer is interesting.

    Disney Calories

    I just wanted to put in some common sense advice here. If you do not want to forego your diet (which I personally would - but that is me), then I suggest packing your meals and snacks and taking them with you. You will save money and it is very doable. We do it everytime (we live here) and we...

    Gluten Free kids on DDP/Entree Swap?

    Your best bet is to make ADRs and call ahead to plan your meals with the chef. They will almost always work with you ahead of time. Quick service is a different story. You can request items, but they are not a full service kitchen with a chef. Their meals are pretty set. It is not like they have...

    Federal Court Rules for Disney in Lead DAS/Autism Lawsuit

    My nephew is autistic, and he is socially awkward. He repeats himself, and tells the same non humorous jokes, does the hand flapping and cannot stand loud noises. Is it difficult to be in public with him? To be honest - yes. My sister however has decided to take the experts advice and deviate...

    My Tale of Moving to Disney World

    Back when I was a kid and went to Disney for the first time, I will never forget two things... 1. When we crossed the Eastern Time Zone on the road to Disney from our house in Pensacola, FL. I watched the clock and my mickey mouse watch intensely waiting for the hour hand to jump forward an...

    Other Options...

    I have been looking (dreaming really) at some of the ABD trips and wondered - are there other trips out there that are cheaper through other reputable companies? I understand that Disney is the best (trust me if we could afford it, we would book one today), but the budget just does not support...
