    Entre question - Saana

    The lamb shank is amazing!! My wife and I have shared this twice. This was suggested to us on our first visit and it was some good! Also the bread service is excellent with the full service option. It is nice to try all the different dips and compare. Their reds wines also pair very well...

    Help me pick my Disney hotel

    If you are looking at two weeks at one resort my recommendations would be Saratoga springs or old key west because they both laid back resorts and the are both close to Disney springs. We enjoyed them because they are relaxing and being so close to Disney springs you can go for dinner anytime...

    Do you think restaurants should charge for firework view tables?

    Yes agreed the servers and resturant staff will suffer but the union, shareholders, and servers have no control of how a company runs. The shareholders maybe able to axe the proposal but honestly it would be presented to them with a $ figure not a "think of the workers" If it is presented to...

    Do you think restaurants should charge for firework view tables?

    I have to agree with shadeDK if Disney wanted to do this they would find away to do it. The issues Disney would need to fix or look Into are 1. I don't know if you would get the restaurants to agree to do this thou. 2. Hard sell and limited seating plus what % does to the restaurants and...

    HHN without express pass near Halloween

    We just got back from the our trip this year. We did a few nights at Disney and HHN. This year we got the express pass and it was well worth it but last year we didn't. What i would recommend is looking at the HHN ticket grouping this year because 2016 to 2017 they were actually the same and...

    EPCOT IG -> Beaches and Cream -> DHS

    It is very nice walk! I would give yourself 30-40 minutes before your reservation but the walk is maybe 20 mins. We are pretty quick walkers but there is a lot to see on the walk. We do the walk every year we are down there.

    1st Time Using ADRs and Dining Plan

    Tusker house would be better for breakfast than lunch as it is a buffet If you are looking for something upscale I would look at the resort restaurants like jiko or Sanaa or trader sams for drinks or ohana If there is somewhere you want to go keep checking the app or website as time open up...

    How is everyone booking?

    We booked directly with Disney just so we can control the process a little more. We are from Canada too and I think Disney is just one of those places where you know it will be expensive and you just need to manage your budget. There will always be an exchange rate and there will always be...

    AP first-timer... help?

    I think the best thing to do is call the ticket office. I am pretty sure they will transfer your tickets to your AP and you will pay the difference. They should be able to refund your memory maker too. Just explain to them that you want to upgrade your tickets. If you are on a room ticket...
