    MARCH 2017 Pre Trip Report - The family's first transatlantic visit *update 1/16*

    Do you prep your kid for Disney? Like most parents, I do. I kind of have to, actually! Raya loves amusement parks, but he is an anxious kid. He doesn’t like venturing the unknown and has to know what to expect. So I’m trying to "prepare" him as much as I can, physically and mentally, by: 1...

    Did you bring a camera if you pre-ordered Memory Maker?

    I brought my DSLR on my last visit, while having Memory Maker. It's quite a pain to lug around, though. So last year, I switched to mirrorless camera, which is much much much better than DSLR IMO. Smaller, lighter, but have the same quality as DSLR. Mine is Fujifilm XE-2.

    MARCH 2017 Pre Trip Report - The family's first transatlantic visit *update 1/16*

    A few days ago, I almost had a heart attack. For the last one month or so, DS has been having trouble with his throat. He’s not coughing or even complaining, but he’s clearing his throat a LOT (like, twice every minute), and his voice changed a bit. He seemed very normal, though. He also...

    MARCH 2017 Pre Trip Report - The family's first transatlantic visit *update 1/16*

    Hi there, Corrine!! Oh wow, I was just reading your PTR the other day, and I think what you're doing is totally awesome and inspiring. For the life of me, I can't commit to a good habit, including saving so relentlessly like you do, even if it's for Disney! I even tell my (non-Disney) friends...

    The View March 6-10; Taping in AK March 6-8

    Darn it! 8 March is our AK day, and I really don't want to change it. I don't care too much about the crowd, but will the stage blocks the tree of life awakening's viewing? It'll be our only chance to see it, unfortunately

    Special dietary request?

    Hi everyone, My family and I have a reservation for Garden Grill breakfast. However, we don't eat pork, so I emailed Disney to request the pork items on the menu to be changed with something else for us. Their reply is this: "Thank you for inquiring about how we assist Guests with special...

    Tricks to stay COOL in the summer

    Hi there! I live in a tropical country in Southeast Asia, where its 86 all year round, with very high humidity. And I wear hijab. So I fought heat all my life :D The most common mistake I've seen is people wearing clothes that tends to be tight, even if they're short sleeved (like tank tops)...

    What was the biggest Disney meltdown you've witnessed?

    I've witnessed two meltdowns, both came from me :D 1. My mother and I have a very strained relationship. We never really got along since I was little. One time, for 4 years, I was dating someone I truly loved, but my mother loathed him. All the time I was in the relationship, I was constantly...

    MARCH 2017 Pre Trip Report - The family's first transatlantic visit *update 1/16*

    So! This is not a trip preparation update per se, but I thought I’d share this piece of thought here. Yesterday, on easywdw.com, I read a review on Rivers of Light preview show. I think basically Josh (the writer) said it was good, but under-delivered. Many things that were promised simply did...

    **Official March 2017 Thread**

    Happy new year, everyone! Praise the Lord, our Fastpass+ picks are all done!!! Because I was so anxious about it, the whole process was tense, but I enjoyed it. We got 100% of the attractions we want, although not all of them are in our preferred timings. It's my first time using the MDE app...

    Fast Pass -- Soarin' or Test Track, but not both?

    Yep, we're doing this too because we can't do single rider for TT (we have a young child, so we want to ride TT together). But if I could do single rider for TT, I would FP Soarin'.
