Thanks for the sound advice, everyone! I'm leaning towards requesting the Casitas section based on proximity to the first bus stop. We stayed similarly close to the first bus stop at Riverside, and we loved it. @bee, the Ranchos look so cool to me though. I have to say that's the section...

I have an upcoming trip to CS for July 16-21 and have a bit of a dilemma in regards to my room request strategy. My dilemma basically being that I have no strategy. It's just my husband and I celebrating our anniversary, and we've selected a standard view room with two queens (free dining...

Thanks for everyone's input - in the interest of getting to our room faster, we decided to risk it and I completed online check-in this morning (4 days prior to arrival). I did not have the option to make special requests, nor could I see any special requests that had already been added to my...

I will be arriving at Port Orleans Riverside in 5 short days (ahh!). I asked my travel agent to put one room request on our reservation - that we would like to be near a particular bus stop. She then instructed me NOT to do online check-in, but instead to wait until we arrive to check in at...

My husband and I are doing the fireworks dessert party at MK on our trip in July. He is a type 1 diabetic, and I did not think to make a request at the time of booking, but when reading reviews later I THINK I read where someone had made an accommodation request for the party and were provided...

I am going in July and, just this morning, booked ADRs for Cinderella's Royal Table (for a pre-park opening breakfast) and Kona (for resort-hopping brunch). While I am going a month later than you, my point is that you still have a decent chance of getting an ADR at a popular start if you check...

I literally JUST booked our ADR for Kona Cafe, and I'm stoked. Never been, and I want to try this Tonga Toast!

Congratulations!! My husband and I threw around the idea of going for our honeymoon, but ultimately ended up going last summer for a short 4-day trip. We had so much fun, we're going back this summer for a longer trip! I hope our perspective as two childless 26-year-olds can help you. It was...

I'm a POR lover - I like the boat to DS and I prefer the theming to FQ. However, I have contemplated staying at Coronado and may have done so if it wasn't unavailable for our stay this summer.

You guys sound like clones of my husband and me! This is why we're staying at POR for the second time in a row. You caught onto our best-kept secret about the West bus depot - we were randomly placed nearby on our next trip and we loved being able to hop on an empty bus just steps outside our...

I've been listening to Connecting with Walt, which I believe is an offshoot of DIS Unplugged. I can't get into WDW Radio, there's too much banter and not enough content for me...probably because I just started listening recently.

Are you trying anything new and noteworthy on your next trip? I don't know if it's possible NOT to do something new, but I suppose there are those dedicated to the old and familiar :) nothing wrong with that, but this is my list for my July 21-27 trip: - Animal Kingdom -- husband and I have...

Gotcha, I didn't realize that - I thought it was possibly like MK where they extend hours during peak times.
