    NCL leaves passengers behind in Africa

    I’ve been watching “Mighty Cruise Ships” on Discovery channel. It’s given me an appreciation for how hard the crew works so we don’t know how hard they’re working! Especially interesting was logistics of getting from Port A to Port B and how important leaving Port A might be in terms of...

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    Interesting perspective. I remember when it first opened our local paper had a big story about them selling Saratoga Peppermint Pigs. I think the company has since gone out of business. You’re tempting me to give it a try. I’m with you on completing my list. Ironically I’ve been watching...

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    I live in Saratoga county and finally decided I don’t need to stay at SSR, partly because it’s Saratoga and partly because it seems so darn far from everything. I have a feeling in the interest of “my list” I’ll cave at some point and stay at least for a few nights. Yes, thank you.

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    Just spent a week at my 17th resort -- Wilderness Lodge*. It was wonderful! I started writing a letter and want to address it to the "face" that I saw on the welcome screen of the in-room TV, but of course can't remember the name. Anyone know? Thanks! *Although I know it's themed to the...

    Easter Dinner

    How cute is that! And . . . I hesitate . . . to say . . . it's not the one my mother made :sad: She made the one where you bake cake in two round pans, use one circle for the head and then cut ears and bowtie out of the other. I'm fine with anything that involves lots of frosting :thumbsup2

    Easter Dinner

    Earlier today I googled "traditional Easter dessert" and most sites had a list of 20-65 Easter desserts. I wasn't interested in suggestions about what to make, I was more curious what is considered to be a traditional Easter dessert. Is there one? I remember my mother making a bunny cake...

    Sticker shock!!

    Just want to acknowledge your pain. I love solo trips to Disney and it's darn expensive. After I reserve something or pay for something I wonder how families can afford the trip. I think it's sad that Disney is way beyond the reach of so many Americans. Just got back from a trip and saw that...

    Ideas for a no park day?

    One of my favorite non-park days is to see how creative I can be planning as many modes of transportation as possible -- skyliner, monorail, boats (resort launches, not renting a boat), ferry, even buses, and feet. I always love the walk from Grand Floridian (doesn't matter how you get there)...

    Animal Kingdom & Hollywood Studios sold out March 10, 2024

    I’m confused. If park reservations are no longer necessary, how do you know parks are sold out?

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    When dining at a restaurant I always used to say it looked like the waiter drank half of my wine on the way to the table and then offered the bus boy a sip before finally serving me. (I was on a Road Scholar trip once when a man at our table was given such a small pour that he rather loudly...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Thank you to all who took the time to reply to my CL vs DVC queries. As I suspected, it's like comparing apples to alpacas. ". . .4-6 weeks annually. . ." :love: "No reason why you can't do both!!" Can I use your name when I mention this to my husband? :thumbsup2 Thanks for your insights...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    This got me to thinking . . . Of course we all love CL. Looking at my week in March resort view is $421/night and CL is $809/night. For one person no way I can justify almost $400 a night more. But what got me wondering is that obviously people who can afford $800/night (plus tickets, food...

    The highlight of my year is a solo trip to WDW. I have stayed at 16 different resorts and am trying to finish up.
