    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    Keep trying to modify. I was only able to get a 7:05 a.m. reservation for Goofy's Kitchen a couple weeks back. This week I was able to modify it to 8:45 a.m.

    Still no refund for annual pass

    Did you pay with a credit card? If so I would contact your credit card and dispute the charges with them. Let them know what happened and they will work to get you your money back. This is why I always use credit cards versus debit cards.

    Budget Question

    For reference - here is my budget for our April 29 - May 7 trip for my family of 5, which consists of 4 disney adults and 1 disney child: $1857 for 5 nights at the Courtyard Marriot $2,269 for 3 nights at Grand Californian (always wanted to stay there but can't justify the price for 8 nights)...

    Budget Question

    I think the only way to create a realistic budget is to mock plan the trip and price everything out (hotel, park tickets for both parks, food, use gasbuddy.com to estimate cost of gas, parking, food menus, etc). There are so many variables to the ways people travel. A family of 5 who drinks...

    SNA to Anaheim: What's the best option?

    For our trip next month, we decided to rent a car for the day so we can pick up groceries on the way to the hotel. Price was about $90 for the day. We will drop it off in the evening near the hotel

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    I booked dining this week for my 4/29-5/7 trip. I was able to get Storyteller's breakfast & Lamplight Lounge for the times I wanted with no issues right at 8:00 a.m. central time on day 60. I cannot get a good time for Trader Sam's. By the time I went to book today, the only time was 8:45 p.m...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    The seating is reserved for you so you can come and go as you please. That's the benefit of the cabana is not having to stay in the seats to keep them reserved. But I cannot imagine going to the park when you're paying all that money for the cabana.

    Cruise Refund/Reschedule: Under Official Review

    I agree. I cannot see how August sailings are possible when we don't even have an opening date for Disneyland yet.

    Checking ID for alcoholic beverages?

    I am 33 but I look really young. I am always carded at local bars, restaurants, and stores. Out of all 3 times I have visited WDW (2017, and twice in 2019) I have only been carded 1 time at Epcot.

    Break up reservation for dining plan

    This is not true. Due to availability when we booked, the person we rented points from for our stay in November had to book 2 separate reservations in a 1 bedroom at AKL. One was for 2 nights, and the other was for 5 nights. We decided to add the Dining Plan to our first reservation and they did...

    Epcot and Animal Kingdom in 1 day?

    I think you will be incredibly rushed, especially considering the amount of time some of these things take. For example, FOP, at the very least with a FP takes 30 minutes. If you don't get a fast pass, this alone will take 2+ hours. The August heat will make this a very, very long day. Doing...

    Character Call

    I am not sure how the call-in option works, but be aware - the scheduled character calls are very inconsistent. I had 1 scheduled last Christmas and it never came through. I saw a lot of reports here of the same. Maybe the call-in option is their fix for the inconsistent character calls?

    Minnie Van availability lately

    We were there last month. We stayed at AKL and planned to take a Minnie Van to Epcot for a PPO breakfast at Garden Grill. When I went to book it, it had the estimated wait time as 25 minutes. A bus pulled up right after that, so we cancelled the Minnie Van. I was shocked at the wait time and it...

    Jello shots containers ?

    I use the cups that are pictured above. I oil my containers so they slide right out. It's a little more work, but just take a paper towel and dip it in vegetable or canola oil and put a light coat on it. Worth the effort! I get tons of compliments on them.

    We attended the party on 11/19 and we got in line for tea cups at 6:55. The overlay did not start until 7:01 and we were first to ride with the overlay.

    Need help! Friend trying to hijack our vacation.

    "No" is a complete sentence. You do not owe her an explanation, even thought it should be common sense to her why you wouldn't want to share a hotel room with her adult son. You already made plans with her and if she wants to change those plans, good for her, but leave the logistics of finding...
