    Getting to the Hess station

    I can't speak for the transportation options to get there (as we always have our car), but I can say that the food prices are VERY reasonable. Not only that, but they have really tasty hot foods like pizza, chicken, and breakfast biscuits.

    How crowded IS Thanksgiving week??

    I agree with the earlier posts. If you can get in park time from Sunday to Wednesday that week then you will find crowds manageable, weather excellent, and holiday decorations beautiful. We have found that Thanksgiving Day is a good time to go to the pool, relax at our resort, gift...

    Wildlife at your Resort?

    This last Thanksgiving Day we saw three huge wild turkeys walking all around our cabin in Fort Wilderness. I told them to stay away from the turkey leg carts. Hope they listened...

    Taking Baby to Disney....need some real practical advice here!!

    Great advice already! Just enjoy yourselves. Take loads of pictures. Our oldest son went at 7 months, our youngest at 7 weeks. Neither trip was very long, but memories were made. Both boys love looking at the pictures we took of them with Mickey and Minnie as well as in locations they have...

    Tell me all about Fort Wilderness!

    We love camping there and staying in the cabins when we have a bigger group and want to splurge. We have never rented a golf cart. I was pregnant on two trips there and now have two little boys along. We were always able to do whatever walking was necessary. The buses are pretty consistent...

    The Best Perk Staying Onsite!

    We love the EMHs and being AT Disney the WHOLE time. It is just a little depressing to drive out under that sign to the real world at the end of a day in the park even if I know I am coming back the next day. Sadly, we haven't been able to take advantage of the free dining yet as it wasn't...

    Really neat signage effect in Goofini cue

    My husband just returned from chaperoning a group of high school students to the World. He loved the theming of the new circus area and took a picture that he found particularly interesting. Being Disney geeks, we have come to look in, around, and under places in WDW to see the hidden Mickeys...

    Hidden mickey plates in HM gone

    It's back! After reading the posts here, I texted my DH who is chaperoning a trip there today. He checked and reported that the plates are back in their position today. I know in other trips we have seen them in different spots on the table. I always look for this hidden Mickey because I...

    Fantasyland Expansion Photos (just a few quickies)

    There is a small pet cemetery on the side of the hill on your left as you exit HM. I can't remember all of the the characters represented there, but if you look up and to the left, in the back, you will see a tombstone shaped like Mr. Toad. It is a nod to those who mourned the loss of Mr...

    Disney at Walmart

    I am glad to be able to purchase Disney related merchandise at my local Wal-mart along with my groceries, household items, clothing, etc. I lived a frustrating 2 years in a no Walmart zone and am happy to be back in the land of Wally World. Frankly, if I had to shop at non-discount stores I...

    Ladies--how do you carry your stuff?

    I always wear my Kipling backpack. I love Kipling stuff because it weighs nothing empty, is water resistant, and isn't stiff so it only takes up as much space as what you put in it. However, I do wear my phone in a case on my waistline/belt all the time. I have trouble hearing it ring in the...

    Tell me about the Fort Wilderness Cabins

    We have stayed in the cabins a few times, once while I was pregnant and another time with a 3 year old and a 6 year old. Both times we had in-laws with us. We park our van at the cabin and use it when we want to go off property to visit friends or shop in Kissimmee for groceries. We have...

    Is there any way to purchase prints of resort room art?

    When we stayed at a Fort Wilderness cabin Thanksgiving week my husband was really taken with a framed print that hung over the dining table. It was a painting depicting the old train that ran through the campground when my husband visited as a kid. I was wondering in anyone knew if copies of...

    Key to World Card As Souvenier

    Well, you've come to the right place. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Of course, it is not one I plan to get therapy for! Welcome to the club!:wave:

    Ride issues for a tall person

    Hmmm.... I remember when I had twisted my knee badly as we were packing (fell out of the truck) to go to WDW and refused to go to the doctor - could not miss my trip could I? Anyway, I had trouble bending my knee so some rides were more painful than others. I particularly remember Expedition...

    Best Resort Christmas Decorations

    I vote for Boardwalk, AKL, and Contemporary's Gingerbread house. BUT, if you have some time and patience, I recommend going over to Fort Wilderness. Take the bus into the resort (or come in on a boat to the marina from Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, or Magic Kingdom) and go to the Pioneer...
