    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    So an AP discount for my dates next week became available. I currently have a package that includes room, APs, and Superstar shuttle to/from airport/resort. The current room portion of package was $1500. This would have made the room $992. So I called to have it changed. She basically told me...

    Any reason to buy a package?

    Right now there is a "Bundle package" but it applies to packages with 3 park tickets. Can save up to $75 I believe.

    Transportation to/from airport from Universal Resort

    In December we arrived at MCO around 8:45pm. Carryons only, so once I got in a quiet enough area I called as directed. She asked if I was on level with baggage claim. I said no, I don't have bags to claim. (I was literally standing by the escalator to go down though and stated this.) She told me...

    Lanyards??

    Back in December I surprised my son with a trip to Universal for his birthday. I had bought a HP duffel bag from PBTeen and I found a HP lanyard on amazon that I didn't realize until he opened it that it was stretchy/elastic like. It was so nice. They are called Buckledown lanyards.

    Upgrading from 2 day 3 free w/ unlimited express tickets to AP

    Had you already entered the park on the last day when you went and upgraded? I have a 2 day PtP ticket with UE and was wondering about that but probably want to use my UE on the 2nd day, but would lose it if I upgrade before entering the park on day 2. But at same time, if I wait until after I...

    Anniversary Dinner Advice

    Since not on dining plan, I'd go to Shula's at the Dolphin. (They have an email club and you can put in your birthday --or use your anniversary as your birthday-- and you get a coupon for buy 1 entree get 1 free during the month of your "birthday"). Not to mention the food is amazing, and we've...

    Sell me on DAH

    We just did MK DAH on 3/21 during a busy Spring Break week. My husband wasn't even going on this trip with us, but when he heard about DAH and that I'd gotten tickets for myself and son, he decided he wanted to fly down mid week and join us. We got to MK around 7:30 and did Buzz ride...

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    I have been a "deluxe girl" for a few years now. And then, in December I booked our mother/son trip at POP (Had never stayed there before) because it was an awesome price with AP discount. We absolutely fell in love with POP, I kept gushing to my husband about it when we got home. He said "why...

    Disney restaurants that are popular that are not very good anymore.

    I had to wonder if the Morimoto employee didn't move to Hoop De Doo....just seemed a little peculiar happening 2 different places so close in timing.

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    Got a great AP rate for Dec 18-22, 2018, so I changed my ASMo. So glad I did. This was our first visit to Pop (And first Value resort since 2011) and we LOVED it!

    Pirates and Pals

    We did it back in October during Hallowishes fireworks (MNSSHP). It was awesome. One of the best "extras" we've ever done at WDW and would pay to do it again in a heartbeat.

    Best Boardwalk Restaurant for kids

    Big River Grille is good for families as well.....I just never eat there because we have it at home and I like to eat places I can't eat at home in Disney.

    New ticket system coming to WDW - Begins October 16th

    Honestly, as long as schools keep cracking down on attendance, it is getting harder for anyone with kids in school to travel outside of school breaks. (I am a teacher and have even taken off/pulled my son out before, but now our district has tightened their attendance policies.) So, as long as...

    Birthday, Bestie, and Boos(ze)!.....aka Turning 40 in the World of Mouse- an October 2018 PTR

    Fastpass + Update So, after being up well before the fp+ window opened (insomnia caused by some major life change that was going on-- more on that further down) , and 2 hours of seeing Olaf 4 out of every 5 times I tried to confirm a fp+ selection, we are finally set. Is it exactly what I...

    All-Star Resort Refurb Schedule

    I booked a room at Movies last month for mid December and got an email a couple week ago informing me there would be refurbishment construction during my stay. That tells me it likely won't be done by fall.

    Birthday, Bestie, and Boos(ze)!.....aka Turning 40 in the World of Mouse- an October 2018 PTR

    Update of sorts: So, we are now less than 3 months out!!! (But still just under a month from FP+ selection, so not much going on in the planning aspect). Last week I finally booked hotel for my son and I for our December trip. I waited too long and OKW did not have full availability in a DVC...

    Birthday, Bestie, and Boos(ze)!.....aka Turning 40 in the World of Mouse- an October 2018 PTR

    Fun update: A couple of weeks ago I used our SW points and booked my flights for myself and my son to fly down for a few nights in December. I originally planned Dec. 18-21, but it was actually cheaper to fly home on the 22 than the 21 (by like 5,000 points total). I still had to buy 2,000...

    Non character kid favorites?

    My son loves Sci-Fi, 'Ohana, Coral Reef, and Via Napoli. We have to do at least 2 of these every trip. Also, we love walking along the Boardwalk area and getting ice cream at Ample Hills Creamery.
