    recent trip

    I just got back from an 8 day 7 night stay at the Grand Floridian. It was my family's first stay at this resort. With the 7 for 4 discount it made the stay at this resort worthwhile. It was very nice however I could not see paying full rack rate for the hotel. The weather was generally...

    Grand Floridian question

    We're back after a long absence from the board. We have decided to go back to Disney World after a three year hiatus. We have booked a theme park view at the Grand Floridian. We have never stayed at this resort before. What building should we request to get the best possible view of MK. Any...

    First night WOW dining

    Now that we have made our reservations at the YC for our upcoming stay in late August, I wouldn't mind getting some thoughts as to where people like to dine on the first day they arrive. We will be celebrating my wife's birthday the day after we arrive at WDW. The first day of arrival we don't...

    What resort to pick

    Thanks for all the advice. I have decided to stay at the YC and have requested a waterview room. We are looking forward to going back since it has been 3 years since our last visit. It looks like spring is coming, the temperature reached 7C today, I can already dream of those 30-33C August...

    Rank the Resorts according to Value

    The ranking I believe is influenced by the makeup of your party (ie ages of children and knowledge level of getting around the various parks). Also depending where you are from makes a difference as well. Being from Canada and in the middle of the Canadian Shield surrounded by forest and...

    Where to stay WL

    We have stayed at the wilderness lodge in the past and for the money it is a nice resort. You certainly will notice the difference between the wilderness lodge and say the Polynesian, YC/BC, Contemporary, Grand F. The rooms at the WL are quite small compared to the above four and if there are...

    What resort to pick

    Thanks for all of your opinions. I should have probably told you that there are four of us travelling (2 adults and 2 kids). The children's ages are 13 and 11. I certainly agree that the YC/BC is probably the best location as we tend to frequent MGM,Epcot and MK equally, and since we haven't...

    How Do You All Do It???????

    The largest expense that you have some control over is the food. We have always stayed with a frig in the room (or plug in freezer when we drove down). We head over to the grocery store to buy food for breakfast and snacks at night. We plan one sit down meal a day and one small counter...

    Best Hotel to "WOW" a Non-Disney Person

    I think it really depends on what part of the country you are from and what you are use to looking at. I would agree that the AKL is something special as it is not very often that you could sit on your balcony and watch animals feeding below. The lodge itself is truly magnificient and the...

    Need help deciding on resort

    My suggestion is to stay at the Polynesian for the entire stay. If cost is a factor then I would suggest a garden view room vs lagoon view. You can save approx. $70/night and still experience all the perks that the resort has to offer. We have stayed at both resorts and the Polynesian far...

    hopper passes

    Last October our family purchased 6 day hopper passes which included an additional 3 days at either the water parks or Pleasure Island. Our family only used 1 of the 3 extra water park days. My question is... My daughter who was nine is now 10. Are we able to use her pass even though the pass...

    epcot for kids

    I heard that the Tapestry of dreams parade stopped in March'03. I was wondering if the individual pavillions still have the kidstops where the kids worked on masks and later during the parade they were able to put their dream tags into the dream catchers. If not, what else is there available...
