Jason, What is "Destino Tower"?

Jason,

You know I love you 🙂 Your on for the Yacht Club part 🙂 Jim says he is sorry. 

Bob,

Thanks! You were in time, I dont go until next year 🙂 2020 .I forgot about the Pirate Ship Cruise!   That is a great idea, and Mickeys Kitchen, I think we did and you are right, that is a good one!  As soon as I can I will book that. I really appreciate the info!

Hello all,

I have been away for awhile as my Mom fell ill. I have just booked a Campsite for Sept 27 - Oct 10th 2020. I feel like i have forgotten everything! We are in Meadow Premium.   I am wondering a few things if anyone has any input, first
I have not been keeping up on the new dvc going up next door, anyone else camping during this time frame? Will it be terrible due to construction? Have I made a mistake?

My 6 year old Son is at an age now where he can do some neat things, I am sad to see the Mickeys Back Yard BBQ is gone as that was a great experience, and Hoop Dee Doo will not interest him. Does anyone have any suggestions as to an experience that may be similar?

Do they still have the chip and dale camp sing along and movie?

Thanks in advance, it has been a long few years and while we are not quite ready yet this year we are looking forward to getting back to going every year again starting next year.

Thanks!

Laura

Wow, well the cabin prices are sure not moderate. I messaged you on FB as I could not remember your email address hope that is ok. We are going to try to do a combination of campground and Yacht Club then. :) We always wanted to swim at stormalong bay.

Do I read it correctly, Cabins no longer qualify for the full Disney Dining Plan? Just the free quick dining plan?   When we last did the Cabin/campground we were able to get Free full dining plan

We have been lucky enough to go a couple times with Cast Member friends. It is COOL!  I love the back part the best where you see stuff from hotels like, old decorations or props. Old Popcorn machines, and even a blow up bellhop from the haunted mansion!  We came home with some really nice dish's and silverware/table cloths from the yacht club and coffee cups that I am drinking out of right now. We also found huge garland sets that light up and actually had Christmas balls and Mickey shaped bulbs on it they were I think $10.00 each and nicer than anything you could even begin to find on frontgate it was wonderful :) To know they hung in our favorite place in the world is the best part.  I think our cast member friends thought we had lost it but they still like us anyway :)

I agree it is hit or miss as the second time we went, we really did not find many treasures. I cannot wait to go back!

Is this for real? Or are you guys kidding?

And thank you all for the great pictures!  

Sincerely,

Freezing and cold in Wisconsin.

WOW with these displays I think I would just pack up my measly inflatables and pumpkins.  I barely have the energy to load up the decorations I have much less put all that up. Well done!

The description of how they came into ownership is strange to say the least. I am surprised Disney did not have any and all Disney References removed as they usually do with I think everything that gets sold.  Just does not have the same nostalgia as trains. Weird listing. I won't be whipping out my checkbook for this one.

No Pomegranate Lemon aid? Do they still have it at Trails End?    So Sad

Can you post the Stuffed shrimp recipe? Or, if it on FB I am Laura Conroy Soprano Geez I am hungry now....

Holy Smokes!  My Husband is on the Atkins diet and I showed him your pictures, now I will have to step up my game!  Where did you get so many great ideas?  And I only have a regular grill do you think these things would turn out ok on a regular grill?  I have never even heard of the Egg!

Laura

That is awesome!  Thanks for sharing Dave and TCD great pictures!

Thank you! That explains it well!  I better get to work!

Hello,

I have a quick question about Photopass/Memorymaker.  I have been swamped at work since we got back from our Fort Trip and I have not had time to make the Memory Books and other things I usually do with our pictures. I already did the extension...and I have pictures starting to expire tomorrow.

I can download all pictures since we have memory maker, it says it will be a huge download and I am not sure how to handle that part....  My question is however, I really like adding the Disney "Touch's" to our photos and making the photo books ect.  Once I download the photos I wont be able to do that anymore. Can I RE UPLOAD them to the photo pass site? You know, like when you add your own non photo pass trip photos? Have any of you done that?

Thank you in advance!

Laura

TCD You make me laugh.  Did they really spend a billion?  or was that just on multiple magic bands for all?  I think I am up to 40 bands now or so.  

Side note,  They never left a what we call "Love Letter" at the end of our trip on our door. You know that dreaded envelope telling my husband how many Frozen dolls and Mickey Bars we really charged.... Never got one. Did they stop doing that?  I did not get an email either. I got everything else by email from WDW.

I have been trying to get a copy since I got back.  I was told yesterday by the same Nice lady she would email it to me. Still have not seen it and I will have to call.

Hello all,

Just thought I would share my positive customer service experience today.  We had dining reservations almost every day of our 15 day trip in Sep/Oct this year, and we did cancel/move about 5 or 6 reservations. I was very careful to cancel in time via MDE on my phone so we would not be charged the fee.  There were 4 charges on our card however. One for $10.00 Barbershop, 2 for $50.00 Dining, and another for $40.00 dining. I did actually forget to cancel the Barbershop one since we went as a walk up at the beginning of our trip but I am pretty sure I did not forget the dining ones.

I am not usually one to call because I figure it is not worth the time and hassle.  But for over a hundred I figured I better get into it. SO, I called today-turns out they have been having trouble with Cancellations not properly going through using the MDE on phones. So, without hesitation the nice lady at Disney Customer Service reversed all WDW Dining charges.

I thought that was very nice. And I will not hesitate to use the app again in the future. If anyone out there got a charge they thought maybe they should not have I would not be afraid to call.

Have a Magical Day  :wiz:

Thanks Lou!  Hope all is well with you!

I hope you post the podcast?  Or Link.... for fellow Train Buffs......

In the cabins we got Blushing Orange, The first row items. I know I have only been told 20 times, but if I could remember how to post a picture here you would see a huge basket full of all the little Mickey Ears shampoos, conditioners, and lotion all lined up and overflowing with the two different bath bars. Not to mention to three bonus shampoos I got at The Wilderness lodge from a very sweet mouskeeper.  Why I get such a kick out of saving these I may never know. 

We have just about everything if you need something Marty.  We are in 1103.  

Laura

Hope you enjoy! Looping is one of the best parts about staying at the Fort I think.  

I knew that was coming. Geez Lou, way to pick the low hanging fruit!
