    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    The most interesting thing about this thread has been the consistent disappointment in California Grill, and in particular the service. My DH and I were there in 2006 and while I thought the food was acceptable, the service was laughably bad. It had a silly, pretentious vibe. The hostesses...

    AACK!! UT WDW pre-10/16 tix GONE!

    Not seen BATB in DHS? Heck, I don't even know what BATB is! :rotfl2: With all the acronyms. I can't even. Poor newbies. Anyone coming to DIS for a tutorial better have a translator as well. ha ha Okay, yeah, I worked out that it is Beauty and the Beast--but honestly--I've never seen it...

    Bringing your own drinks into the parks to avoid the never ending price hikes

    Heck, why stop at a stroller? If you rented a ECV you could just load the basket up with an ice chest full of drinks and snacks AND avoid all that tiresome walking! It's a win/win!

    We AREN'T a Family, Antiquated Disney Nomenclature

    I dunno. With all the challenges and problems we face in this present age, I just can't get worked up over the use of the term "family". I think it's very sweet, actually, and on some of our trips, we have needed the reminder--lol. PS--we are a non-traditional, blended family.

    Best Birthday Ever! - my (very first) July 2018 trip report

    Thanks for answering! I will look for the doggie bowls--something with Pluto would be sweet--if they have anything large enough for my 100 pound chocolate lab! :dogdance: I like kitties, but I am so allergic--ugh--I swear I can feel my eyes start to get puffy just thinking about them. I live...

    Best Birthday Ever! - my (very first) July 2018 trip report

    One Mickey waffle?!? He looks so lonely! Ah, I'm sorry about the bus wait--we never had any trouble with the buses until last year and then the service was pretty terrible. HS was ridiculous and AK wasn't much better. I am really hoping it is due to all the construction--but it was pretty...

    Any ideas when the Liberty Square riverboat will be running?

    I was really bummed that we decided to not go to Disney this December in lieu of a more extravagant trip December 2019, but since the train and the Liberty Belle are two of my must-dos for MK I'm feeling better about postponing our trip now. Heck, if they closed the Peoplemover as well, there...

    An open letter from SueM

    We are planning a large family trip in December 2019. In our group will be 4 first timers, including children that will 7, 6 and almost 3. There are other children that will be 13 and 9 and have been before. I'm the grandma. :love: ( And chief trip planner, head cook, and bottle washer. My...

    “Disney Rash”???

    I have been to WDW many times and had heard of Disney rash but never experienced it until our trip in December of 2017. Because of a serious injury (and overeating, obviously, lol) I had gained about 30 pounds and was uncharacteristically inactive in the months leading up to our trip, due to...

    I've never seen Illuminations. Best secret spot?

    What the other posters have said regarding being upwind of the show is correct and SO important; not only that the smoke will obscure your view, but one year when we were viewing Illuminations from near Rose and Crown, my DD got a spark in her EYE during the show. :scared: Thankfully, we had a...

    Any major difference in crowds between Nov 25 and Dec 9?

    We go mid-December when we go and the crowds are fairly heavy. We've been going that same approximate time frame since 2006 and each year the crowd size increases. Next trip is planned for earlier in the fall--December 2017 was just too crazy. Whatever you decide, I hope you have a wonderful...

    “I absolutely must fight Darth Vader and meet Ariel” A birthday trip and more! Our Nov 2017 TR

    What a fun TR! What a lovely family! I had to laugh at this : because I was noticing how similar C's clothes are to many of the ones my granddaughters wear--and we are from Texas, ya'all---where hand-smocking and seersucker gingham are de rigueur for any well raised Southern baby :love...

    Howdy do! Yes, I'm an Aggie :flower:! Class of--uhm...let's just say.... 80's ish! Yes! Free passes are always so unexpectedly nice--make you feel so *rich* or something, ha ha. Like you won the Disney lottery!

    Just back and Wow, what Happened to Disney World

    I'm so sorry to hear that your trip wasn't as magical as you had expected and hoped for. Lucky you! Two vacations a year! I know it may be difficult, but look on the upside--some folks save for years to go to WDW and won't be able to go on another vacation for many years--at least you aren't...
