    No, the parking at the Cabins is no longer free (vehicles are still parked free at the camping spots). But yes, you do still get free parking at the parks!

    Sci-Fi Diner in April

    I think walk-ups may sometimes be seated in cars, if they agree to be "hitchhikers" - sitting in the third row of a car that's already occupied in the first couple of rows with folks with reservations. Don't know if this would help the OP, because if they have at least three in their party, they...

    What are your favorite things to do in Outer Banks?

    Alas, when we visited Corolla this past Thanksgiving, we were sad to see that the Tomato Patch had burned down. But closer to where you'll be staying, there's a good restaurant in Nag's Head called Tortugas Lie.

    Disney Movie Rewards - Bonus Codes

    Thanks for the reminder! I was surprised by the Sherman Bros. question - I knew they had done the music for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but I'm surprised they included a song from a non-Disney movie in their Disney trivia game.

    We've Got a World-Class Menagerie: Where Should We Stay?

    Check out the cabins at Ft. Wilderness. They are a moderate, so a savings from a deluxe. We also spend most of our time at Magic Kingdom and love the convenience of taking the boat there. We stayed one time at AoA and the bus rides were not what we were used to (but did have a lot of fun)...

    Disney's FORT WILDERNESS CABINS & CAMPGROUNDS Information & Questions

    We've asked for two cabins together four or five times now - once we got two across the street from each other, every other time was next door to each other. And we've gone at busy times, too, like Spring Break.

    Help with Colorado vacation this summer

    We went to Durango, Silverton, Ouray and Rocky Mountain National Park last summer as part of our big Western Adventure last summer. I would second only taking the train to Silverton one way - it's a cool trip, but it's long, and you don't really need to see it both ways. We actually took a...

    Disney Movie Rewards gift cards - how long to receive?

    I never did order any, I wasn't sure they'd be here in time. I just bought some generic Disney card at the grocery store. Would you mind updating this thread when you do get yours - I'm still curious how long shipping takes.

    Urgent! Need a foolproof sugar cookie recipe

    Always have had great luck with these sugar cookies, especially when I keep returning the dough to the refrigerator between batches to chill some more https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10402/the-best-rolled-sugar-cookies/ They're not crazy sweet, which is good because it makes them not...

    Disney Movie Rewards gift cards - how long to receive?

    Could anyone tell me how long it takes to get a Disney gift card from the Disney Movie Rewards program in the mail? I couldn't find it anywhere on the website. My daughter's teacher is a big Disney fan and I was thinking of finally redeeming some points and getting her a gift card for...

    Do Any Moderate Resorts Sleep 5?

    The Cabins at Fort Wilderness are a moderate resort, and they have a queen bed and bunk beds in the bedroom, and a pull-out sofa in the living room.

    Who trick-or-treats at the Fort?

    Oh, I knew you have an Aliner, I'm jealous! The cabins are fun, too! Maybe someday we'll park our little motorcycle trailer in the drive-in of the cabin, that way whoever wants to sleep outside can, but no midnight trips to the comfort station. Ours looks like this one, only a little shabbier

    Who trick-or-treats at the Fort?

    Thanks, BamaEd. We are usually cabin folks, but we did get a little motorcycle pop-up travel trailer - it's essentially a bed/tent on wheels. I did manage to find tent site reservations for Tuesday and Wednesday this year, but didn't book them, because driving down from Michigan in the middle...

    Scifi Diner vs. Brown Derby

    Yeah, I was amazed how quiet SciFi is - I expected it to be a zoo, being that it's in a soundstage. We really didn't talk to Dad/hubby in the middle row too much, but we didn't talk to each other in the front row much, either, just watched the movies - it was a nice, quiet, dark and relaxing...

    Who trick-or-treats at the Fort?

    So, we went to our first MNNSHP this August, in part because our school starts after Labor Day and so many had already gone back to school. I think the last thing on my Disney bucket list would be spending actual Halloween at the Fort (no park time), seeing the golf cart parade, party and...

    Scifi Diner vs. Brown Derby

    Sounds like the OP has made up her mind, but just wanted to point out the when we went to SciFi this summer, my daughter and I sat in the front row of a car, my tall (6'5") husband sat in the middle row, and then the server said we had a couple of "hitchhikers" - sat an adult couple in the back...

    Key West Family Resort

    We went to Casa Marina in Key West with the whole family this summer - grandparents, adults, teenagers and kids. It was pricey - grandma paid for it - but the hotel and its sister resort were very nice, the pool and the beach were great. We had been to Key West many times with just the adults...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    When we checked into Pago Pago just a couple of weeks ago, my husband was just a little disappointed our room was right off of the parking lot - but then he saw the monorail go by, and my daughter was in heaven! She loved watching for one, seeing what color it was, was it the special...
