Anyone else love the Citrus Swirl? This is my favorite ice cream snack. What is your favorite snack?

Citrus Swirl is a favorite of DD19!

It's not my fav but you gotta have ya some Mickey ice creams!!!

And Mickey bars are DH's favorite - it's the first thing he has every trip, no matter what time it is. Can you say Mickey bar for breakfast?!

As for me, I don't have an all-time favorite - no matter what it is, it tastes better in Disney!

Beauty & the Beast was so good. I was really surprised! now my DD wants to go to the sing a long version​

The day we saw the movie, it was packed! And sitting directly in front of me was a middle aged woman who sang every song the entire movie... and I don't mean quietly to herself. I really wanted to ask her if she meant to go to the singalong one instead. LOL!

Very crowded at our movie too! I didn't sing out loud, but it was hard not to. The entire time my foot was tapping and there was a silly grin on my face - except for the times I was getting choked up and trying not to let the tears flow. Not because it was sad, but because it's what Disney movies do to me!

I'm flying both SW and Jet Blue out of RI this summer. We bought early but I thought it was still pricey. $ 325. We also didn't choose by best price, we paid a bit more for certain times. Right now, SW has some good rates out of Manchester NH, best I've seen in awhile $ 133 each way for July travel, and starts going up for August.

Always fly out of RI and usually see SW as having much better prices than Jet Blue. But it's definitely a game of roulette about when to book! Going in August. Got our flights down for $112--great price! Flight home at the time I wanted was over $200!!!! So I had booked a 7:30 am return flight--yuck! But kept checking and checking. About two weeks ago, logged in on a Saturday morning and the last flight home was down to $132! Grabbed it right away! Got right on the phone to friends who are looking for the same flight home and the best they could get was $174, even though they literally jumped on within a minute of my booking. It's all luck of timing!

I've just spent the last 45min pouring over magic band decals on Etsy.

I'm ordering my mother the villain one. She has no idea.

I can't wait until I finally see B&tB and I absolutely love it and then you guys are all laughing at me.

I won't laugh at all...I loved it!

I've looked this up before, about the discount, I can't remember where you find which restaurants offer it?

On the Disney Visa site under "WDW Perks".

I definitely got sniffly in parts. When a movie does that to me I know it's good.

Does anyone in here drive to Disney? I am trying to figure out the best way to navigate from park to park with a car. Now that they have security at the TTC, I'm wondering if we should park at Epcot and take the monorail to MK? I just don't have a parking strategy.

 

[KimBean]

I won't laugh at all...I loved it!

Just because I've been so down on it. I don't know if there are any other doctor who fans in here but I had to take a full 6 months grieving time when the tenth doctor left before I could start the eleventh. Didn't watch real time. It's just my way. Then 11 turned out to be my fav. Lol!!!

We always drive. What do you need to know?

11th Doctor was the best-still having a hard time warming up to current Doctor and I have no interest in the newest companion. Why oh why didnt they get my opinion before casting for the show

We almost always drive (or rent a car). It's so much easier to navigate WDW with your own vehicle. Always take the bus to MK though.

Does anyone have experience with the following: you get FD and hotel/room you want then you go to book airfare and realize if I arrive a day later/earlier the flight options and prices are so much better - can you call Disney and just adjust check in/check out easily? Obviously it would still need to fall in the FD guidelines and window - but basically once you have FD has anyone made slight adjustments to their trip? I am going for 6 nights regardless but my arrival has a 4 day buffer if FD is available - and if it is I was considering adding an additional night - but that is something I won't be able to do until I know I either get FD or have dates picked and check airfare.

Sorry that is probably WAY longer then it needed to be but this lack of news is driving me bonkers

I did this last year. They told me they didn't have the availability to add another day to FD but I could get a ro discount for one night....makes sense right? Anyways I called about once a month and checked daily for all my dates with no luck. Then I called after the FD offer booking period was over to ask a question about something and the cm said "I can combine this to one reservation with free dining, you would just owe the extra to pay rack rate" I don't understand the rhyme or reason of it all but if you need to do it this way, keep asking.

I'm dreaming of a Free Dining offerjust like the ones we used to know

It's funny how often some CM say sorry I can't and it takes just 1 to change things. Now if only FD would drop or at least info/rumors/SOMETHING - I haven't been checking as much since it's more chatter than info but then I worry that if I don't check info will finally drop

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

I just checked, 11 offers none of them do me no good, I NEED Free Dining

 

[Kindermouse]

Something for the fall at least-the fall has no offers yet at all

 

[ThistleMae]

We always drive. What do you need to know?

Do you park in one park and use the transportation system or do you move your car? And...with the new security system at the TTC, what would you do to start the day at MK?
