    Packing list for Florence

    I've thrown in a deck of cards and Uno - can't hurt to have fun games to play if it's too wet outside one afternoon.

    Best beach by orlando?

    Our girls have a day trip planned to Clearwater Beach at the end of this month. Do you recommend canceling because of the red tide? Not sure what the possible health risks are as we're don't have red tide at home.

    Lansky or Super Shuttle?

    We've used Lansky on our past 2 trips and have them booked for return transfers as well as a full day tour of LA on our last day in October. Daniel is polite, punctual and always patient when I change the pick-up time for our final day!!

    Justifying the price of GCH

    I stayed at GCH the first time I came to DL, splitting the cost with my sister. When I came back for my 2nd visit, with our family of 4, we stayed at PPH, and I wished every time we walked by the Grand to the parks that we were staying there, and I promised my DH that if we ever came back to...

    6 weeks to go, seems real now

    Yeah, it's a shame for those staying at both resorts that the Jambo pool is down at that time. We'll be the ones enjoying cocktails by the pool - or the water parks, as you said!

    Your trip does sound amazing, and we will cross over with you at AKL - we arrive 20th Sept and depart 1st Oct. We have a standard view 2BR villa at Kidani Village - will you be at Kidani or Jambo House? We also have tickets to MNSSHP, on Sun 23rd Sept. All our costumes for the party have been...

    FP for FOP and Frozen ever after?

    We got FoP at 60+2, 60+5 and 60+7 on Sunday. 60+2 is for 6:50pm but with the other 2FPs we're got, it at least means we can have a good sleep in and go into the parks quite late. We will cancel one of the later days once we choose our Universal day. FP for SDD was hardest for me to get, FEA was...

    *** The Official September 2018 Thread *** let's get started to have some fun

    I made our FP selections today for our trip starting 20th Sept. Got FoP for 60+2 (early evening) and again at 60+7 at 9:20am, which was our back-up day. Got SDD at 60+10 but we might RD it earlier, we'll see. Got 7DMT at 60+6 but was lucky bc somehow I missed it completely the first time I made...

    Disney Housewares Store?

    These are my favourite type of Disney merchandise to buy! After my next trip, I plan on only having Disney tea towels in my drawer!

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    I'm glad you loved AKL, it's anyways good to hear first-hand. We are starting at Kidani. 3 bathrooms, can't go wrong lol. I think many people see that as overkill for my DH and I plus our 2 girls, but at 25 and 16, they need their own space. Don't want to live on top of each other for 11 nights...

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    I'm expecting it to be hot, that's the way I'll be leaning when I pack, anyway! We have tix to attend MNSSHP 23rd Sept but haven't finalised our costumes yet. I've picked mine but they others are dragging their feet. We rented points for our stay at AKL through DVCRequest (David's rentals)...

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    How exciting, there's nothing like making the decision for another Disney trip! I've been to DL twice and will be going to WDW for the 1st time this September for 11 nights, and DL again for 4 nights. I'll share any tips I think you might need, particularly after our trip!

    What do you pack for a DVC stay that you don't pack for a resort stay?

    My question is more what to do with the leftover things that we buy for our 11 night stay in a 2BR villa at Kidani later this year. Coming from Australia, I will not bring items like laundry powder or pods with me but intend to purchase from Walmart or Garden Grocer, and as we are flying...

    Anyone else get stuck on Soarin today?

    Sounds like you did really well, waiting 20 minutes up so high!! We got stuck on Soarin' 4 years ago. We were only about a metre off the ground when the ride stopped, however I have a fear of being restrained and THAT'S what freaked me out! Every minute waiting for them to return us to the...

    October 2018 Check In

    We will be staying in 2 standard rooms at GCH 1st - 5th Oct, after an 11 night trip to WDW staying at AKL - Kidani Village in a 2 BR villa. We are doing MNSSHP at WDW so I don't think we will spend the $s to do it again at DL - unless you guys tell me we HAVE to! We have 4 day p/h (bought at...

    Grand Californian - do they offer a day rate?

    I was hoping we could secure a day rate well in advance (like now!) but that doesn't seem to be the case. We've looked into lounge access but unfortunately it's not an option out of TBIT terminal. I have passes for the Qantas lounge but they can't be used at LAX. I know there are other hotels...
