My advice is to buy air tickets on 1 ticket. Last week, I noticed the itinerary changed leaving me only 54min at Chicago transit. If I am booked on different airlines, I dont think we will make it.

I am almost too tired to push DD further. Tired…

Hi any tips to prepare for Chinese Oral ? What are some topics we can discuss with our kids? For mid year, DD school asked about transportation in Singapore and MRT is the key discussion.


DD said \" I dont take MRT..... \" :stupid:

No white lie. Just blunt short answer.

Take MRT, take bus, bring her to hawker centre, void deck, playground, beach, bus terminal, community centre, pasar malam, etc.

No need to bring her to airport, USS, SEA Aquarium, etc 'cos it will never come out.

I gave up improving on my son's Chinese oral last year so I made him memorize model answers :oops: He said it did help him during PSLE Chinese oral.

All the best!

Hi @ngl2010, where to find the model answers? DO you mean those oral guides book?

@ Publica :


Since its your 2nd trip, did you get Annual Pass at your first trip?

honestly ladies, I have been so exhausted planning this 3 wks trip. But to do this same trip again next year ....already my husband gets headache looking at my itinerary. You are SUPER WOMEN !


I am so thankful my ADR are done. I will be glad once I am done with BOG lunch fastpass and parks fastpass @ 60 days mark.

WDW kept adding new rides. There is the new Seven drawfs just open on 28 May. There is also the LAND OF AVTAR being planned in AK and will open in 2017 !

Dear Dnls_mum,


I have missed you ! haha.

Your advice on Wolfgang puck at downtown disney abt using snack credits are great! We are staying at POFQ so its just a boat ride away. I have planned to eat at Wolfgang express. This is counter service but the food is brought to the table. Should I still tip?

For now, I have a prepaid dining package. I have done the reservation and am pretty excited about it. I think there is benefit for getting the dining plan. As you pointed out, the refillable mugs and snack credits should make it worth the prepaid dining plan.

I am also going to USS & IOA for 4 nights. How do you manage breakfast at Broomstick? I dont see any fastpass. Just queue?

Just so you know…the fastpass for Anna & Elsa is the hottest thing now …without it , will be a 4hr wait !

@Dnls-mum :


how are you? I am going to do my ADR on 7th June ! Lots of excitement here!

My dates in Orlando are 4th to 17th Dec. The FD promotion starts only from 12th Dec.

I don’t want to plan a 12th Dec to 17th Dec 5Nites stay cum 5 days tickets package just to get the FD package. We also do not wish to split the stays just to qualify for this package.

I need a 4th Dec to 13th Dec or a 8th Dec to 17th Dec for 9nites stay/7 days tickets.

The question is should I get a prepaid dining plan ?! I calculated the cost to be similar to what I am going to pay out of pocket. If we skip just 1 table service meal, the prepaid dining plan will not be worth it. The only extra benefit of getting the plan is the free 4 snacks and 4 refillable mug throughout our stay.

What do you advise?

My 2nd 1/2 of trip is 12-17 Dec. Means only 5nites stay. Too short to plan our 4 parks.

DH refused to break up our reservation into 2 bookings (in order) to take advantage of Free Dining !


The FD saving :moneyflies: would have been about $1200 USD for 6 nights. Well...then again Park tickets will cost more if I break up our reservation and we obviously cannot do 4 parks over 5 days. So we are sticking to our original plans of 10 nights/7days tickets.

Let me know if you manage to get free dining. I will be green with envy and happy for you.

Will I get paid dining plans? I dont know yet.
