    How can they add more value to the Inspire Key to increase sales?

    For me, the additional value for the Inspire Key isn't worth the $500 increase in price. Yes, there are more available days (mostly Saturdays in October, November and December, plus a few holiday weekends), but aside from that, I don't think the free parking (vs 50% off) and the slightly higher...

    Is it too soon to book, too late, or just right?

    So I booked the cruise this week and paid the deposit yesterday. Ended up getting a white wall verandah near the aft of deck 6 because of the price. Should know better after school starts if we'll actually be able to go. Here's hoping!

    Is it too soon to book, too late, or just right?

    My family has been looking at going on a Disney Cruise sometime, and it looks like the only good option for us, because of work, school and other things is the 4 night Mexican Riviera cruise, March 15-19 on the Disney Wonder out of San Diego. We live in about 45 minutes from Downtown San Diego...

    DLH vs GCH distance to Disneyland(not DCA)

    Back when we had passes in 2018-2019, we always just used our physical passes to enter. But I had scanned all of them into the app for MaxPass (RIP). My wife went out of town and my son and I were planning on going to Disneyland while she was gone and we realized she had his physical pass. We...

    VLOG - Our Western Caribbean cruise, Disney Fantasy June 3-10, 2023

    So after watching this video, I went down the rabbit hole of watching a bunch of your other cruise videos. No plans on an Alaska cruise, but we are looking into doing a 4 night Baja cruise on the Wonder out of San Diego next spring. If you want to come along, we can hang out. 😉

    How many days left until you leave?

    One week from today! Short trip - just 4 nights at the Boardwalk. Then back home to San Diego, and a few day trips to Disneyland before our Premier passports expire. Probably won't get passes again for a few years.

    Is 3 days enough?

    Our very first trip (2015) was 9 days / 8 nights. Because we come from Southern California our travel days are pretty much full days, so we had 7 full days, plus about a half day on the last day. Our son was 8. We did 2 days at MK, 2 days at Epcot, one day at AK, on day at HS and a break day...

    This Trip Report Is Under Refurbishment For Your Future Enjoyment (UPDATED 9/13 with final bonus chapter)

    Well, to be honest, last week was really boring at work. But seriously, I tend to look for trip reports from people who have kids around the age of my son, who is 11, just to see what their experience is like, compared to ours. I do enjoy reading other reports, but it's easier to live...

    This Trip Report Is Under Refurbishment For Your Future Enjoyment (UPDATED 9/13 with final bonus chapter)

    I just read through your entire trip report in about 2 days. I skipped most of the comments (sorry everyone! especially @pkondz), and just read your posts. I really enjoyed reading about your family's adventures. I feel you when it comes to your brother on the Disney World trip. I've done Disney...

    New SWGE Superthread! Now Open to All! (6/24/2019)

    You're welcome. I'm planning on getting one, so I took the picture of the wall so I can plan out my colors, rather then just picking when I build. I got a picture of the BB wall too, but it's a bad angle, and I'm planning on making an R anyway.

    New SWGE Superthread! Now Open to All! (6/24/2019)

    They definitely have all the parts to build R2-D2, but sometimes they sell out. The panels on the front come in a few different colors and you pick them out when you build. That's why they look gray on the bodies below. Here's a picture of all the R series parts. Sorry, the picture isn't that...

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    August will be my family's first stay at BWI (4 nights). We've previously stayed in WL, POR, CBR and POP. My wife thought Boardwalk was cheesy until we did the Wine and Dine last fall and she got to run by it. We also walked from HS to Epcot (and back), which took longer than expected and got to...

    Official Wine & Dine 2018

    We were going to get the pins if they were nice. I've never been a fan of the medal pins, but I like the other ones. My son doesn't really love the 5K pin, and that's the race he's running, so he may get the non race specific pin instead.

    Official Wine & Dine 2018

    Thanks! This is our first Disney World race. We've run two Disneyland races, but we stayed within walking distance, so we just strolled over to the finish area for those.

    Official Wine & Dine 2018

    I skipped my Tuesday run because my left ankle was bothering me. Tonight is my last chance to run before we fly out on Sunday. I'm running the 10, my wife is running the half and the two of us and our 10 year old son are all running in the 5. (He turns 11 the next day). On a related note, since...

    *** Official October 2018 Thread ***

    Got FPs this morning (last night?). I'm on the west coast, so I had got up at 3:55AM and start right at 4:00AM. Got everything I wanted, including FOP and Slinky Dog. My wife and son are really ambivalent about FOP and Avatar in general, but I still wanted to do it since everybody says it's...

    Matching shirts. Yay or Nay

    I'm not a big fan of matching shirts, but DW really wanted some the first time we went to Disney World. We got shirts with pointing Mickey Gloves that say "I'm His" and "I'm Hers". DS got one that says "They're Mine" I have agreed to wear them occasionally. The best thing about them was that we...

    Kidani or WL?

    We're heading to the Wine and Dine race and are planning on doing a split stay. First up is Caribbean Beach Resort for 4 nights from Sunday 10/28 to Thu 11/1. My understanding is that the construction will be done this summer. After that, we are going to either stay at the Wilderness Lodge, or...
