    October Crowds... wow!

    We were there Oct. 11-15 too, and had chosen that time for the same reason you all did--quieter time (as it has been the other 3 or 4 times we went in mid-October). The crowds were incredibly heavy the entire week. I think it was Mutzie who earlier in the thread mentioned the rude guests, and...

    Chevross's Trip Report (Oct 13-17)

    We were there last week too, Chevross (10/11-10/16), and stayed at Coronado Springs as well. No problems with the resort staff at all, but I do have to agree about the park guests--it was very crowded for this time of year, and it seemed like there were SO many awful, rude people, both Americans...

    Caribbean Beach Resort question

    Ah, that explains it. We've only stayed in the Mansion buildings. Funny, for as many times as we've stayed there I didn't even realize there was a different set of buildings that had no elevators. I learned something about my favorite resort today--thanks!

    Caribbean Beach Resort question

    I can't speak for CBR or POR, but POFQ does have elevators, in the interiors of the buildings--I remember because I twisted my knee on our last night at WDW during our last trip there three years ago, and it was the only way I could get to and from our car because I couldn't walk steps at all. I...

    How is the Grand Floridian Cafe????

    My husband and I love it; in fact, we'll be at WDW the week after next, and that's the place I chose for my birthday dinner. We've never had a bad meal there, and I love the ambience of the place; very light and airy. I've seen reviews that call the food so-so, but honestly, we've never found...

    Best Bet for Reserving Last-Minute Trip?

    Thanks, Tammy, I'll do that. I wish I would have thought of you guys right away, but I didn't till I came here this morning. And Trotsky, I wish we could still go in November, but they've told my husband and his co-workers that from about October 20th to December 15th or so there's no vacation...

    Best Bet for Reserving Last-Minute Trip?

    We were originally planning to go to WDW after Thanksgiving. However, a delayed computer system conversion at my husband's work nixed that, and I cancelled our reservations last week. But we were talking yesterday, and because he'll be slow up till two weeks before the conversion, we realized...

    Nuts to drive from MI to WDW in December?

    OMG, Mouse Man, you hit our feelings about driving exactly. We love the scenery on the way down, the funny little signs on the way down (Stinking Creek Road comes to mind), and especially that drive up to and through the WDW gate--I know exactly when to start looking for it, and we get so...

    Nuts to drive from MI to WDW in December?

    Wow! I knew this was the right place to come for an answer. Thank you all so much for your replies; it's great that I'm getting views from both sides. I think we're going to stick with the driving (surprisingly, my husband is resisting the flying this time, because of the hassle and the...

    Nuts to drive from MI to WDW in December?

    We have a Disney vacation all planned and paid for; we'll be there from Sunday 11/28 till Saturday 12/4. Our original plan was to drive down from our home in the Detroit area (with a stop overnight in Chattanooga), which we love to do and have previously done in May, October, and early November...

    Using CPAP Machines in POFQ Rooms

    Wow, that's a really good thing to know about the power outages, Kevin. Thank you so much. I'll make sure to note it on our reservations now. And thanks for the info on the dental CPAP, bri2106@sbcglob. I had never heard of that, but little by little, I'm finding out there's a big wide...

    Using CPAP Machines in POFQ Rooms

    I've never heard of a dental CPAP device, bri2106@sbcglob. Slightly off topic, but would you mind elaborating on what this is?

    Using CPAP Machines in POFQ Rooms

    Thank you, mickeypal1; it makes us feel much better to know that. We're so looking forward to visiting WDW clear-eyed and feeling great after a good night's sleep for probably the first time ever! :snore:

    Using CPAP Machines in POFQ Rooms

    My husband and I are going to WDW in November, and staying at POFQ, as we have done several times before. What's different is, this time we'll be going down there with our shiny new CPAP machines and masks for our recently-diagnosed sleep apnea. My question is (and I knew if anyone would know...

    AAA Dining Plan

    We made our reservations for our trip this November through AAA and we did not get a discount on our dining plan. I'm pretty sure we didn't last time, either.
