Re: Disney is about to start charging for its Fastpass system

I don't see how it's going to work for international guests without wifi in the parks.  We found it very frustrating that there wasn't wifi yet in DL when it's so good across the WDW parks.  We also much preferred the old fashioned paper fastpass at DL to the MDE FP+ at WDW, but whether it was becau...

Re: The BIG trip

Also, I should point out that it's not very creative.  I just wanted to record our trip and have something we can all look back on and remember how special the trip was :)

Re: The BIG trip

I spent about 24 hours over the Christmas/New Year period putting together a photo book from our trip.  In a past life (pre kids) I dabbled in scrapbooking, but just don't have the time anymore so this seemed like the best way to record our trip while the memories were still fresh.  If you're intere...

Re: Earthquake

Nope, and it was pretty near us too.  One of the neighbours dogs was crying at that time though and woke me up so I'm guessing that's why it was crying.  It's usually a quiet puppy.

Re: Rogue One (spoilers)

We all loved it too :)  I have to confess, I didn't know that there were CGI characters in it until I got home and googled how they did Leia.  I admit I'm not a Star Wars junkie, but I do love all the movies and since my #2 son is a junkie, have seen all the originals quite a few times.  I am terrib...

Cruise to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Japan

This just came through my email and I immediately thought it would be a great way to see Disney's Asian parks!  It finishes at Osaka so you'd have to add a few days to head on over to Tokyo, but it's a great deal - a month, with the one way flight for $5000!!!! http://deals.cruiseguru.com.au/cruiseg...

Re: Anyone else playing Kingdoms?

I've had the last two days off so I've had a lot of time to check in on the game.  I'm now waiting for Elsa to open up.  While I wait I'm trying to level up my characters as much as I can.  I have Sven on 5, Olaf and Anna on 7,  and I'm just about to level Kristoff up to Level 4.  I'm hoping that th...

Re: Anyone else playing Kingdoms?

I'm doing okay so far.  I used my horded gems to purchase Olaf because he's so damn cute (poor Maximus will have to wait a bit longer), and I opened Anna this morning.  I can't upgrade either her or Olaf even though I have most of the tokens because there is a snowflake token you need for each of th...

Re: Anyone else playing Kingdoms?

Thanks for posting that Keith, I didn't get the usual prompt at any time when I logged in this morning, but it was waiting for me in the appstore.  Just waiting for it to finish loading now.  I put Oogie on to upgrade to Level 9 this morning so he should be done before the event starts and I can sta...

Re: Anyone else playing Kingdoms?

*Yawn*, I only have Oogie left to upgrade and I've almost got enough to put him up to 9.  I am saving gems - I wanted to get Maximum but now I think I'll be using them for Olaf and/or Sven whenever they release this much-needed update. I have over a million magic and nothing I want to spend it on.  ...

Re: Future Club Trip

I'm afraid we won't be able to go on any club trips until the boys have flown the coop.  We plan our trips around school terms and we wouldn't dream of leaving them while they are still so young.  Our next trip probably won't be until 2019 anyway

Re: HKDL Makeover

Wow!  We're currently starting to consider where our next trip will take us (in about three years), but Hong Kong will be off the table now until most the expansion is complete!

Re: Karen's 2017 Birthday trip

When we stayed at GC we got a great deal since we were renting points through a friend.  The boys were 2, 4 and 6 so we spent a bit more time in the room than we would now.  It's hard to justify spending so much money when you're not going to be in the room much at all.  I like spending a night or t...
