How do I know what time the Disney restaurants breakfast, lunch and dinner times begin and end?|182860

This may be a stupid question.. However, I_m at a complete loss. I can_t find an answer to this anywhere. I don_t want to start planning because I want to know what time breakfast ends, dinner begins, etc etc.

  • allears.net and click on dining, then the menus. Most of the menus include the hours of mealtime and operation. If you are making reservations, the Disney Dining Specialist will tell you what is available when you call to make your dining reservations.

  • Unless it_s one of the dinner shows that Disney offers, such as the Hoop-dee-doo Musical Revue, or Mickey_s backyard BBQ, the meals don_t have set times. You make a reservation for anytime you_d like and they will try to fit you in. The meal is over when you are finished and you pay your bill, just like in any restaurant in your home town.

  • You should choose a Travel agent who can handle all of that stuff for you - who specializes in Disney Vacations.

    All restaurants have different times on different days.

    WDWTravels will be able to help you plan everything!

  • Call them.

  • You have to call and make a reservation. Tourguidemike.com could help you, too.

    What are the good sights to see in Philadelphia?|181096

    I am going to Philadelphia this week with a few friends and I was wondering if anybody could suggest what are the good sights to see and what we could pass on.

  • Well, it depends on what you_re looking for.

    Start with Googling the heck out of Philly...I_ve lived here for 8 years and I still find interesting stuff that way. Also, check out the Philadelphia Weekly, the CityPaper, the Metro and phlly2night.com.

    There_s obviously a ton of history in Philly, and while it_s definitely not all in one area, there_s a concentration of it in Center City, especially as you head towards the River...Old City, Society Hill, Independence Mall, etc.

    There are plenty of tours, including one...I think it_s called the Big Bus...it_s a double decker bus that I see ALL OVER the city, so I_d guess that it_s a pretty extensive tour. It will be hotter than heck this week though...today (7/17) it_s supposed to reach 100, and it gets humid around here, so be ready and pack plenty of light clothes. At least with that double decker bus, the top level is open air, so maybe you can catch a breeze that way.

    You may just want to go to the tourist center at Independence Mall. That should be the best bet because they_ll cover every kind of thing you_d like to see, not just the Independence Mall, Constitution kind of things.

  • Liberty Bell/Independence Hall
    Betsy Ross_ House
    South Street for people watching
    Art Museum (for art and the steps from the Rocky movie)
    US Mint tour

  • Independance Hall, The liberty bell, But please don_t lick it because that is my dream to lick the liberty bell so please don_t or i_ll scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The library! haha that_s my favorite spot to visit while i_m in town.

    Or head to the Imperial Inn in Chinatown, I love their food.

  • Go to Knoebels Grove. It_s so much fun. There are rides, campgrounds. Or Frontier Town.
  • How many days would you want to allow for a road trip between San Francisco and LA, along Route 1.?|185963

    Planning a California road trip for next summer, trying to decide on a route!

  • 3 days is best, check

    for travel guide.

  • ez80227 must be a lot faster driver than I am, because I would take at least two days. Not just because of all the different things to do along the way, but who would want to miss enjoying all the sights (a second time) along the way you_ll miss on the first way.

  • 1, even stopping at the castle on the way...

    How can I get the replaced posters from subway stations and bus stops in New York city?|193318

    I really like those movie and tv shows posters. Some of them are quit new when replaced. Does anyone know where can I get them with a cheap price? Thanks a lot!!

  • the ones in the subway are posted over. the ones in bus stops are most likely thrown out.
  • Is it possible to live in Florida off the salary a Disney cast member makes?|168096

    If I were to work full-time hours in, say, Attractions, the salary is a little over $7 an hour. Would this be enough to live in an apartment or small house with several roommates and still afford gas, car insurance, utilities, phone service, and groceries? I_ve never lived entirely on my own before so I need to know . . .

  • When I moved here in 2002, I made it on $6.50/hour, working in Tomorrowland Attractions. I had one roommate at the time. There are apartment complexes close enough to Disney that are income-restricted (low income) and fairly reasonable. When you work for Disney full-time, you can get you car insurance through one of three companies that Disney partners with and they_ll take the payments out of your paycheck so you won_t even miss it.

    Also, even if you start in Attractions (where they_ll tell you you can_t transfer to another area for a year) you can be _promoted_ after 90 days to another department with a higher pay scale--e.g. Transportation, Guest Relations, Security.

    It_s manageable, but tough at the start.

  • Inland areas of Florida are actually not that bad for rent as far as some other parts of the country.

    I would opt for an apartment (with a roommate) instead of a house. With a house you have a garbage pick-up fee, sewer, water bill, etc. Those are usually eliminated in an apartment. Some apartments even include the electricty in the rent. Plus, if something breaks down, an apartment management service will usually get on it more quickly than a private landlord.

    It won_t be extremely easy - but you will make it.
    Everyone is different, but I always found that more than one roommate was just too much to deal with. Good luck.

  • That would be a lot of roommates....too many for comfort.

    Why not try for a much better job? You could try a temporary agency which often gets jobs at $15+ hour and snag a permanent job after that. In LA, $7/hr is not even minimum wage.

  • yes, but it would be tight, i get 7.50, work 40hrs. and my apartment in tampa is 900/mth with utilites, i have one roomate. If you have several i_m sure you would do just fine :)

  • It would be very hard to live here but it can be done. The money would very very very tight.
  • How do I go about moving from England to New York City?|183580

    I_ve been considering moving to Manhattan from a town in England near London, and I have no idea how to look for help on organizing how it needs to be done, in terms of all the legal requirements, immigration laws, an apartment, job etc.

    I_ve just finished a BA degree in Graphic Design, and New York is obviously a very affluent city with an enormous design society. So I_m also wondering how I would apply for jobs in a city so far away.

    If anyone could help guide me in the right direction that would be great!

  • US companies have to prove that they cannot hire a US worker over a foreign worker. It costs them money to bring you in.

    Normally it is worth sifting through such red tape if the foreign worker can demonstrate that they have an exceptional skill-set to offer the company.

    Unfortunately, a BA in Graphic Design will not be enough.

    However, New York is not completely closed to you. I suggest you apply to work for an agency that has offices in both London _ New York. Apply for a London position, prove your worth and then later on apply internally to be transferred to the New York office.

  • Well I dont know about the immigration laws but as for a job I would suggest you check out craigslist and other job sites such as yahoo jobs or something else there are a lot of jobs for graphic design tell them your situation and certain places can try to get you settled in an apartment or something, doesnt happen all the time but you could be really good at graphic design where they may want you. As for an apartment I would check craigslist thats where I found my apartment but just be careful there are some scams, sometimes it helps if you know someone in nyc to go check out the place for you and see if its legit. Hope this helps

  • You won_t be able to move to NYC with a BA in Graphic Design. The only realistic way for a Brit to get a working visa (H1-B) for the US would be to have a skill set that is in need and have an employer sponsor you. No employer is going to sponsor a BA in Graphic Design. Think more like PhD in Chemical Engineering.

  • You will need a work visa from the company.. I think it_s best to apply to company that will support and give you a work visa.

    Maybe apply online or take a travel trip here first and apply for interviews.

    How to travel from wachovia to new york on time?|103703

    My problem is that i want to attend a concert in wachovia center in philadelphia and after finishing (around 10 pm ) find a way to go back new york. i did not decide how to travel yet from new york. Is that possible? by bus? train? what about getting to and from stations.

    Please help. i cant figure it out.

  • From the arena complex in South Philly, you can catch a cab to 30th Street Station. You can also take the Broad Street Line (at Broad _ Pattison) to City Hall, grab a trolley to 30th Street Station, and take the R7 train to Trenton, which puts you onto the Northeast Rail / NJ Transit to NYC. There_s also Amtrak coming out of 30th Street, which takes you straight to Penn Station.

  • You should use amtrak...30th Street Station in Philly is ur best bet on catching a train and I always get there on time regardless. I work in NYC and Philly so I use amtrak a lot
