Yeah, we booked it. When I was a Florida resident and a DVC member, October was my favorite time to go because of the lower crowds (I had no idea it was Florida residents month at one point...before my time, I guess!). Back then it was no problem at any time for me to book a room as little as a...

I learned a valuable lesson today not to wait until 6 months out to book a hotel room on property. I can't believe how few rooms are available! But, I guess on the plus side, if nothing else opens up, we'll be staying in a Copper Creek studio at Wilderness Lodge. :D Anybody else having issues or...

We're leaving today for CA and will be spending 2.5 days in the park. More like 2.75 days, I guess, so we bought a 3 day ticket. Hope it's worth it! I just didn't feel like 2 days were enough.

So, anyone been on Matterhorn since it reopened? Heading to DLR today for only my second time ever, and the first time I went on Matterhorn the ride was so rough it actually set off my motion sickness. :confused:

Best part of the attraction was knowing exactly what it was going to be like before doing it and watching the faces of the audience as it ended. Priceless.

Agreed. I was at MNSSHP last year, riding HM quite late, and almost everyone in the stretching room was doing the Ghost Host narration. I liked it. Flash pictures annoy me the most. If you want to remember what the ride is like when you're not on it, go on the internet and watch a...

I've ridden Nemo probably 5-6 times in the past six months and the anglerfish worked every time except the last (29 May, if I recall correctly). The shark AA, on the other hand, has never moved when I've ridden, and what really bothers me about it is that you can hear the air hissing in it and...

All of the bad experiences I've had with tour groups in WDW have been with American groups. Just saying.

I stayed at Wilderness Lodge in late May and noticed some resort-specific shirts. I have to admit I thought, 'Ew, I'd never buy that!' :lookaroun

This is incredibly disappointing. I was really looking forward to meeting him again on my next trip!

I see no reason to change the Aerosmith theme unless there comes a time when Aerosmith is unknown enough that riders don't know who they are. That day seems to be pretty far off.

I know what you mean. On the other hand, it's then such an awesome step up just to stay at a moderate!

To be honest what irritates me most is sitting BEHIND the buses in my car as I'm coming in. There are so many of them that turn on to Bonnet Creek Parkway, which is always where I'm trying to go! Someday I'll learn not to sit behind them in the left lane for so long. Seriously though, I...

Main Street, probably. Though I do love Frontierland at night!

We're all over the place -- start with Fantasyland at park opening, then over to Tomorrowland, then maybe hit Frontierland...depends on our mood. Then again we've no children to worry about tiring out!
