The wife and I went to the lodge the other night and decided to try the big ribeye. I would normally order mine med rare, but my wife can't do med rare. So we ordered medium. I was surprised that it was perfectly medium even though it was close to 2" thick. It was very tender. It wasn't the most flavorful ribeye ever, but it was very good. The cap was perfect. We paired this up with 2 sides....the crispy Brussel sprouts and mac & cheese. Both sides were good, but nothing that you can't make at home if you're a good cook. The bread service was also very good. All in all it was a good dinne

We had a local minor league baseball team that offered a peanut free suite, this was the only way we could safely go watch baseball. You could buy regular tickets and then tell them you needed to be in the peanut free area. It was easy until people got wind of it and stared to abuse it. We went to one game and they told us we needed a dr's note to sit there. I didn't have one because it wasn't needed before. They were giving me a hard time about it until I started pulling meds out of my bags and offers to log into my medical charts to show them. Like everything else it just takes a few bad app

All very true! Unfortunately the law doesn't allow businesses to ask for certification. The people I know with true service animals would be happy to provide it and wish that it was required. Their dogs are incredibly well trained and chosen specifically for the temperament required to perform their duties in all kinds of situations out in the world - which includes being in crowds of people and crazy situations, and still remaining calm and focused on their handler. Sadly the people that abuse the system take advantage of the fact that they know they can't be asked for proof (bu

I am just assuming here but I would think anyone that has a true service animal would be more than happy to have their animal display an official "badge". I can't imagine what a headache it is for them with people pretending their animals are legit, having bad behavior and then causing a bad rep for service animals and making things more difficult for them.

When we've owned dogs we've always arranged for their care at home or a kennel. What I can't see coming out of this is the long term or short term for that matter desirability of rooms. Let's forgo the replaceable stuff like furniture that a dog might damage while the owners are gone. Instead how many dogs will have accidents of various types. No matter how you clean the carpets not all of it comes out and the smells will build up. The floors underneath are concrete and will absorb fluids as well. Even if they use a flooring like Pergo the fluids will work into the cracks. Unless they use

That's a real headline. From a real magazine. What the Fort? Man Caves? At Disney? Sign me up! Not so fast. The clever author took some journalistic liberties. The "Man Caves" are the Copper Creek villas. Womp. Womp. Disney World is Now Offering a Luxury Man Cave for Tired Dads The new Copper Creek Cabins are serving Lincoln Log realness—but they'll cost you. There comes a time in every man’s life when his kiddos start asking questions—not about babies or what’s happening in their pants, but how far away Orlando is. From the moment

I rather they just up the price. Seems to me they are insulting their customer's intelligence by trying to hide a price increase via a product reduction.

Yowsa!! The price puts them about on par with the Poly villas, but those have a sweet view of MK and are actually out over the water. I think if someone drops a bag of cash on my head I'll go with the Poly.

I don't think this is been reported here yet. If it has, sorry. I just received this email from Disney about her upcoming trip to pop century this Christmas. VIEW in your browser

Kennel situations generally require more "stuff" because of the close quarters and dogs interacting with each other. The rabies, distemper combo (which usually includes Parvo and Lepto) don't surprise me. Ditto the Bordetella (aka kennel cough) as it's highly contagious. The fecal is unusual, but again I get it for a situation where you have a lot of dogs in the same space and there are a lot of parasites that are spread via feces (apologizing to anyone eating lunch LOL) In my experience hotels/campgrounds don't usually have so many requirements since your dog isn't going to be interac

For us Jedi doesn't go everywhere. When we travel he does come with us and if a place is pet friendly we evaluate on a case by case basis whether it would be something worth taking him to or if he will react badly to it. For us it's more about keeping his routine similar to home. He has a collapsible crate with a blanket over it that is his space. It travels with us everywhere even camping. When we stay somewhere in a hotel he stays in the crate when we are out just as he would at home. If we need to stop somewhere that isn't pet friendly in our travels and he is in the car we take

Thanks. I am toying with the idea of a quick cabin stay for research purposes. I made an on-line reservation this morning- of course there is nothing in the on-line reservation process to indicate if a guest wishes to bring a dog. The official Disney site for the Cabins has been updated with this language: Dog-Friendly Accommodations Bring your pampered pooch to stay with you at The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Here at Walt Disney World Resort, we know that dogs aren’t simply pets—they’re members of your family. And since family is at the heart of every

in discussions on this I have seen anywhere from $25-60. With Jedi he doesnt not board well. We joke he needs to much love for kennels. He won't eat and has lots of accidents due to being nervous. We have some phenomenal friends who have watched him for us when we have had to travel with out him. And I vouch that Rennie does like dogs. I have a picture of him and Jedi together. :-D

We have decided to bring Jedi with us for Christmas. We are in one of the Cabin's at the Fort on this trip. I am hopeful that people who choose to do this as we are will be by and large responsible pet owners as we are and take good care to minimize impact to others. Assuming we don't see a first hand report back before then I will be sure to give my thoughts on how this goes. It will probably be a one time things for us due to the cost but I know I am looking forward to having him with us for Christmas.

First off, I'm not a dog hater. Have had a few over the years. It's not just a matter of cleaning rooms and yappy dogs. There are people with various stages of "phobias" about dogs. How is Disney going to handle that, unless they put aside and entire wing, building, or loop just for pet people. If someone is afraid of a dog and one gets on an elevator or stairway with them, they might have a meltdown. Someone has already posted on a FB site that dogs at Art are going to ruin their sons vacation because of his phobia and it's not fair.I We've been to the Fort more tha

The filet and cheese soup from Canada were on point tonight, as was the braised beef from Belgium, brisket from the America booth or whatever it's called and the hummus fries from Morocco were good. The cheese and bread from Ireland was an acquired taste.

That is bizarre. Lol. Omg. It's amazing what the average person will spend on there fur baby. Trust me it's not just the 1%ers. There will be animals at ever resort. Including the value resorts. I don't get it but there are people that cannot be away from there fur babies for more than one night. And the funny thing is they always blame it on the dog. " Oh my dog can't stand to be away from us. We just have to bring a little poochie with us or he will die!" i love our dogs but they don't travel with us. Yes ours whines when we leave. They act like it's the end of the world
