    Any word on the Hulk?

    I rode Hulk today!!! It was about 2:30pm. Just dumb luck we walked by and they had it in technical opening. It shut down again just after we got off. As we were walking away from the locker area they were turning people away. It was AWESOME!!! My boys and I loved it. The new effects are...

    Any word on the Hulk?

    We will be there the same time. We are hoping for the best, but preparing to be disappointed. Still, there is a tiny glimmer of hope.

    On site hotel and annual pass

    I just did this Christmas time. I booked the room at the AP rate, but I didn't even buy the pass til we got there. You just have to show them an AP some time during your stay, it doesn't have to be when you check in. You also only need one AP, not everyone in the party. We checked in at RPR...

    Adding an adult to existing ressie and rollaway cot question- RPR

    We were just there for Christmas and had 5 of us in the room. We brought along a twin sized air mattress with a pump. It fit just fine. There is a chair and table between the bed and the window. We pushed those back a little bit and put the mattress between the bed and window. It was fine...

    Question about fanny pack size

    Thanks everybody. I figured it would be okay, but I was a little worried. Plan B was to have two smaller fanny packs and make one of my boys wear one. Did I mention they are teenage boys? I don't think that would go over well.

    Question about fanny pack size

    I prefer not to mess with the lockers, so I always bring a fanny pack that is allowed on the rides. Other than the metal detector ones. Plus my parents go with us, and my mother doesn't ride many rides, so she could hold stuff. This next trip is just my 2 boys and I. So I need to be able...

    Who do I contact about resort problems?

    We were at Caribbean Beach from Dec 27 - Jan 2. Let's just say it wasn't what we expected. I did speak with a manager while I was there, she was very nice, but it didn't help. I would like to let Disney know about our experience, maybe somebody higher up the food chain than the front desk...

    First floor for medical reasons

    Well, when I made the reservation I explained the situation to them. They told me it was fine, we would get a first floor room, and not to worry. I certainly can't do much about it at this point. When we get there, if it's not a first floor room, then we will have to speak to a manager about...

    First floor for medical reasons

    This worries me. We are checking in to Caribbean Beach on Dec 27. We HAVE to have first floor. I explained this to them, and they "said" it would be fine. My father will be in an ECV, so with no elevators, we HAVE to be on the first floor. Fingers crossed I guess.

    Transporation issues when going to WDW and Universal

    I just booked our transportation today through Mears. Turns out they not only have taxis, but town car service too. I booked the luxury van because there are 5 of us, plus luggage and two folding wheelchairs. They have luxury SUV's also. We are going from MCO to Universal Royal Pacific...

    What car service do you like the best?

    We are looking at booking a car service. We would be taking it from MCO to Universal, then 3 days later, from Universal to WDW. We'll take Magical Express back to MCO. It is 5 adults, two folding wheelchairs, and luggage. I've been looking at different websites. I'm thinking we will...

    New Liberty Tree Tavern

    I am really bummed about the dinner changes. For my family out favorite restaurant is a toss up between LTT and Garden Grill. I really liked the steak, I'm not super excited about it being pot roast. My youngest loved the pork tenderloin. I told him it is ham now, he was not impressed...

    When does the Festival of Fantasy Parade come back?

    According to the WDW calendar the FOF parade returns on Jan 1. How likely do you think that is? We are there from Dec 28 through Jan 1. I have never seen FOF and would REALLY like to. It also says regular Wishes returns that day.

    Has there ever been any Osborne Lights merchandise for sale?

    I saw those type of glasses for sale recently at Home Depot. They were in the Christmas section. I think they were only a few bucks, don't remember exactly how much. They had several different kinds.

    Why can't I stop taking taking pictures?

    Here's another reason I take so many pictures. I like to see the progression as my children grow. I have pictures of them in front of the castle (okay multiple pictures) for each trip that we have taken. I can look back on our early trips, when they were so little, and then see them now as...

    Why can't I stop taking taking pictures?

    Oh good, I'm not the only one that does that. I always say I'm not going to take a ton of pictures of parade and fireworks...and I always take a ton of pictures of parades and fireworks. Does anybody else *try* to take pictures on dark rides, without the flash of course. Sometimes I get lucky...

    Why can't I stop taking taking pictures?

    I'm just as bad. I take tons of pics AND but memory maker. I love MM because then I actually get to be IN the pics. The first few trips we went on, you basically wouldn't know I was there. I tell me boys the fact that we have pictures shows I was there, since I am basically the only one who...
