    Fort Wilderness Cabin Loops

    Just by my own research (and before I thought to come back here and check…) I put in as my 2 requests "near a pool" and 2500 loop. It's our first time to the cabins, so I really wasn't sure what to request. We have a car so we don't have to consider where the bus stops are. Not sure if the pool...

    someone else's name on my disney dining pin

    I'm pretty frustrated about this- wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem. (and if there was a resolution). I booked a trip, staying at Fort Wilderness Cabins for Jan 12, 2014. (used AAA). Just hotel and park tickets package. I got a free dining pin email yesterday. I called AAA...

    Mickey's Backyard BBQ in the winter?

    Thank you, Sue. I had started to figure that was the case, just seemed weird that they could not give me an amswer at Disney Dining Reservations.

    Mickey's Backyard BBQ in the winter?

    Hello all. I have tried to find the answer before I posted this question, no luck. I wanted to make a reservation for Mickey's BBQ at Fort Wilderness- we are staying there Jan 12- 17, so any date is fine. (My grandkids are 2 and 3, so this is really the only character dining I wanted to do with...

    Thinking of renting car

    Here's another "yay" for renting a car. We thought we might use the Disney transport but after thinking about it for about 5 minutes, changed our monds. We are 2 adults, no kids this trip, staying at the Caribbean. I have stayed at the Pop a few times and sometimes rented a car, sometimes not. I...

    check on luggage ?

    Thanks for the replies- I (finally) got through to someone at SWA. She said you can do that, it's not a pressure issue at at all (which was my main concern) BUT she said there is the baggage handler issue, and it can get handled pretty roughly. She also said when it goes through, if TSA...

    advice needed on debt

    Get a recent copy of your credit report FIRST (all 3 companies)- this is free once a year. (do not pay for this service). When you get your money, and are going to pay your debts, DO NOT pay until you get it in writing that they will remove the bad info from your credit report. Get it in...

    Used Cell Phones

    Oh- I truly thought I was the only person who ever dropped their cell phone in the toilet (hey- I only did it once!!) Side note: the donations to "cell phones for soldiers" can be a phone in any state of disrepair- they send them to a company who fixes them or uses them for parts, so the...

    Best case for iPod Touch 3g?

    Best case ever (I have had for quite some time, it's all nice and broken in) and then my husband just got an iTouch and he tried to take my case- but he ordered his own (same case) from B&H Photo.com for $18 (much less than anywhere else!) here is it...

    Are there penny souvenir machines at WDW?

    Oh good grief- just you wait! Those machines are EVERYWHERE! They cost 50 cents (plus your penny) and there are some that will squish your quarter for $1. You find these machines with pretty much every character and at the end of many rides (in the gift shops) where the penny design reflects the...

    How to break it to the kids that I am going without them??

    I wouldn't tell them you are going to Disney- just a trip for you and gramma. I don't see the big deal of NOT telling them you are going to Disney. I'm going next week without my 12 year old, I told her me and my friend are going to Florida for 3 days. She didn't ask, so I didn't offer. I'll...

    Can get $250 for Bank of America Savings Account

    I have BOA, and I did the matching round up thing (well, I still do) but yes, the first 3 months was a 100% match, so every time I went to the gas station, I would pump to end at 1 cent, same whenever I paid at a restaurant- it would equal out to end in a penny. I didn't get the whole $250, but...

    Used Cell Phones

    If you don't find a place to get cash for them, maybe you would consider donating them to Cell Phones For Soldiers... www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com :banana:

    Solicitation at work

    Even though most of the posts are pretty much my opinion, I figure I'd chime in. I think one email is ok, but to then follow up with a "visit" is out of bounds, IMO. And as far as the crap they make kids sell at school- it wouldn't be so bad if most of it wasn't crap. Overpriced gift wrap and...

    Biggest difference between POP and Caribbean Resort?

    Sue hit the nail on the head! I have stayed at the POP and Caribbean, (and I WANT to stay at the Contemporary!!!!) Wow- we are so much alike! The POP, I think had more little kids- it costs less and better for bigger families hoping to save a few bucks. Caribbean- very nice- def. a step (or...

    TOTAL JERK in the Contemporary

    Well, you have heard it enough in this thread, but I say good for you for being the bigger and better person. (some people might have been angry that the girl served him first just to shut him up and get rid of him) The guy was a real jerk. I'd be afraid to pull out a video camera on someone...

    SAVING LUGGAGE FEES! Have you done it before?

    We always do "carry on" only- the small suitcase for overhead and the backpack type carry on. You'd be surprised what you can fit! Beware of buying to many souvenirs!! Does your airline charge for EVERY bag not carried on?? I thought every airline gave you at least ONE freebie!

    When do you tell the teachers you are taking the kids out of school for Disney?

    Family time is just as important as school time (IMO), I know a lot of schools don't agree. I try to minimize the time taken from school for a trip- honestly, never more than 3 days a year- but I won't apologize or make excuses. Taking your child on a trip IS a learning experience in itself...
