    Does Fall Promotions Include AoA Suites????

    I'm already booked at Pop Century and have only recently started looking at AoA mostly bc of their amazingly themed rooms. Since our son is 5 we are really attracted to the theming of the values bc we know he'll love it -- so we'll be doing value no matter what. I guess we'll just see which is a...

    Does Fall Promotions Include AoA Suites????

    Hello! I'm following the FD thread and know that sometimes the room discounts can actually save us more money than FD. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the AoA suites (Nemo, LK, or Cars) are included in the fall promotions? My DS(5) really wants to stay in one of those themed rooms but...

    ADR Help

    We are driving -- we live about 5 hours away from WDW and should arrive around 11AM/12PM. Our group consists of my husband, son (who will be 5), and myself. I didn't think of how exhausting our travel day could be, especially if we tack on a party. We may forego an ADR for arrival day should we...

    Ancestory DNA testing

    I think she may be referring to the fact that some people (my mother) claim to be descended from Native Americans [insert other ethnicity/nationality here].....when actually we most definitely were NOT. When my mother and I got our DNA results back there were 0% from the Americas -- we were 100%...

    Ancestory DNA testing

    My mother, husband and myself have completed AncestryDNA testing. I got my test first as a gift and I have to say it is by far one of the best gifts I have ever received. When you get your results back, it will show you a percentage of your DNA that came from each of the different regions. I...

    Complete "stupid head" now HELP !!!

    My first piece of advice is write down a plan. How many days would you like to go -- which of these days would you dedicate to park days/rest days/etc.? Are your dates flexible or are you limited of when you can travel? Set a budget. If you are wanting to stay in Deluxe hotels, maybe consider...

    Feedback on my plan

    If your DW is worried about getting wet, I'd suggest ponchos. For Splash but also for the random rain showers Orlando gets.

    Do we really need to bring food/ snacks?

    Like the others have said, having a few snacks on hand can be a lifesaver when you don't feel like running down to the food court for something quick to eat. Cereal/granola bars, apple sauce pouches, nutrigrain bars, protein bars, beef jerky etc. are easy pack.... .just remove them from the...

    Best Time to Go?

    Out of those two suggestions (November/June), I would suggest November. If heat is a concern for you, I wouldn't suggest going in June... Orlando saw heat indexes of 105 degrees last June almost all month long (I swear it was 100+ degrees for the entire summer) and while you'd be able to extend...

    Help with reveal ideas for kids!

    One neat way for you both to do it -- is for your ex to have you on FaceTime or Skype you so that you can both reveal "You're going to DISNEY!" together... You are very correct that the situation is complicated but there are a lot of different ways you can choose to surprise your kids. If you...

    The Three Amigos eat their way through Disney FINAL UPDATE 1/24 Parisian Breakfast

    I really loved your TR! I'm always so impressed by the F&W TR and how well everyone remembers the names (and spellings) of their dishes/drinks. I think your pasta from Captain's Grille made my mouth water. YUM! One of these days we'll do an 'adult' trip and I can eat at places that don't include...

    touringplans.com worth the $?

    A resounding, YES! I love everything about this site. I love the lines app (I check it religiously), I love making my touring plans (even if I throw them away and don't even use them... gasp.. I'm a rebel, I know), and I especially love the room view feature... I spent HOURS finding my room and...
