    Walt Disney World in August

    This may be a silly suggestion, but really liked "cooling towels" for August. I brought them before trip (Amazon?) and probably got 6 for the price of 2 at WDW. They also helped with sunburn on back of neck, which no matter what hat, sun block, etc. I use, I am prone to. Also scope out the...

    New River Cruise: Holland and Belgium

    This would be a first for us. We are considering the newly announced river cruise. Points chart won't be out until 2/14, but any ideas on the number of points needed? What is the impact of children on a river cruise? Trying to compare to a Viking river cruise. Any information or opinions are...

    Dining reservations for Dummies (ME) -60 days?

    After a long hiatus from "must-do" dining, I need/want/must have a dinner reservation for V&A on May 7th or 8th. We are staying at Grand Floridian villas. Do I literally use a calendar and count back from sixty? March 8th? Thanks.

    Wait list came thru - problem with park reservation

    Thank you, Sandy, for the suggestion. Can I still link the" Wait list" night if it has the same confirmation # as the "original" night?

    Wait list came thru - problem with park reservation

    I was only able to get one night for a December trip to see Christmas decorations. But the waitlist list came thru to add another night to front end of trip. It showed as two reservations on my DVC dashboard, so I called Member Service to insure that the new night was fully linked. But the new...

    Check supplies in kitchen

    I'm the OP and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who has these experiences. The real head scratcher for me was having the insert, only, for the double boiler. 1. Why provide a double boiler? Lots of Mac and cheese from scratch? 2. If some took/stole the pan from the unit, why not take...

    Questions about masking? I wore an N95 mask for 7 days in 90 degree heat while pushing a wheelchair - here's what I learned.

    We happily wore masks when they were required. But during our trip last week, mainly due to 90+ degree heat, we didn't mask. DH tested positive upon our return home. Luckily, we are double vax and boosted. He is definitely sick but ii is manageable.

    If Someone Cancels a Theme park reserveation does it go back in inventory?

    This is slightly off topic, but my gripe is the rule for 2PM hopping. On the day we arrived, we wanted to try the booths at Epcot, but park res. wasn't available. I had to take a HS res (only park w/ availability), swipe in to HS, (get pop tarts at Woody's Lunchbox) and take boat to Epcot at 2...

    Check supplies in kitchen

    Got Trash & Towel today, even though I declined it because we are checking out tomorrow. Now have a sponge & dish detergent. Such a waste

    Check supplies in kitchen

    I never expected to find a tea kettle, I was just amazed at the absence of any size sauce pan. But I agree with prior posters that the "due to the pandemic" explanation was BS. Just something to say, rather than addressing the real issue. I did call to get something to boil water in and went...

    Check supplies in kitchen

    We just checked into 1BD at BWV. Never thought to check out the kitchen supplies. Woke up and wanted to make tea. Imagine my surprise to find only a fry pan and the insert (only) for a double boiler. I made hot water in the coffee maker but didn't really like the taste. I called housekeeping and...

    Disappointed with Olivia's

    We just met friends at Olivia's for breakfast yesterday. Pleasantly surprised. We were a table of 6 with a reservation. I had chicken and sweet potato waffle with bacon/onion jam. Yummy. Our servers said it was a "weekend" special. We rarely take time for a sit-down breakfast when we are going...

    "Bonus" Park reservations???

    I also got a tip for my October trip, which extends beyond the expiration date of our APs. I am hoping to buy tickets for the Italian Regional luncheon if it returns. But I would need a guarantee of Epcot admission for that day. We can't renew APs until late August and can't make park...

    "Bonus" Park reservations???

    I called and got a very informative CM. She said that I had used all my days for my Pirate AP for the trip where we were staying at a resort, but she was able to convert 4 of the days into Hotel Stay days, which are considered "length of stay" days and not counted against my AP days. Lesson...

    "Bonus" Park reservations???

    I never knew there was a limit on the number of park reservations you can make with certain passes. I've probably been doing my park reservations incorrectly, by selecting Annual Pass even when we have a hotel reservation. I have just become increasingly frustrated by the number of rules that...

    "Bonus" Park reservations???

    My friend frequently travels with DH & I, so she is part of our booking group. We all have FL Pirate Passes. We are meeting friends for breakfast tomorrow and I just looked to see if there is any park availability. DH & I have a "bonus" reservation only for Epcot. Our friend has all four parks...

    KiteTails

    My favorite Kite Tail story happened when the show was new and I was excited to see it. Dragged DH and a friend across AK, only to discover that it get cancelled due to high winds. It was our first trip with Genie and the shows were still listed. When I pointed this out to a cast member, she...

    No availability for brunch at Homecoming

    Stalking this reservation is more difficult because the people we are meeting are not Disney folks, and aren't familiar with the need to plan a month in advance and/or need to jump on a ressie when it pops up. This is an important meet up because we are meeting DS's Gf's parents for the first...
