Can't be too careful Well I, for one, am glad that Disney takes a potential (yes, I said POTENTIAL) threat like this seriously. I'd rather be safe than sorry and feel more comfortable knowing that WDW security takes every precaution necessary to ensure our safety while we're enjoying ourselves.

Clarification Amen, Spectroman. And phichi17, I was referring to Sherry's "history lesson," not your post. Sorry for any confusion. I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Hello, all! :wave: Last May my girlfriend and I went to WDW for 9 days (May 16-24). We found wait times and crowds in general to be entirely acceptable, though a bit more crowded than when I'd been in the Sept.-Oct. range. We're thinking about planning a trip for early June 2008 (ie sometime...

I, too, am surprised they weren't banned for life. That sounds like it would have been a much more appropriate course of action given the circumstances. It also would've ensured that we never have to encounter this trash at the parks at any time in the future.

I stayed at POP this past May and didn't pay for a preferred location but did receive a room in the 60's location (behind the giant Play-Doh can) and can confirm that you CAN in fact see Illuminations from the 3rd floor ledge. My girlfriend and I simply walked outside our front door and stood...

There seems to be a lot of confusion about this today but you absolutely CAN take a bus directly from MK to AK. In fact, I did just that on my last trip in January. Hope this helps!

Pet Peeves Nice analogy, Philo. My biggest Disney pet peeve is people taking flash pictures or using LCD screens on rides and attractions, which ruins the ride for EVERYONE around you. I understand that this may be the only time you get to go on this ride for a long time and you want to...

This may sound like a silly question but I'll ask it anyway: When leaving a tip for mousekeeping, is there a special envelope or something to put the money in so they know it's for them and you didn't just accidentally leave a couple bucks lying around?

Disappointing to hear that you can't guarantee a table near the water, but it sounds like the viewing area might just do the trick anyway. Thanks!

Hey all! :wave: Everyone's been really helpful with information thus far and I just had another question: My girlfriend and I want to have dinner at the Rose and Crown by the water and stay to watch RoE. Is there any way you can guarantee that you will be by a window table and still seated...

Speaking from experience... I know from (unfortunately) experience that you can in fact rent wheelchairs at the entrance of all four parks. Last time I was there (January) it cost $10 dollars to rent a wheelchair all day and if park-hopped you could go to the wheelchair pick-up at the park you...

My girlfriend and I will be going to WDW from May 16-24. We're both HUGE Pirates fans and would love to see some increased Pirate action that week since PoTC 3 comes out that Friday, May 25. Does anyone know of any special events or would anyone like to speculate about the possibility of that...

My parents would like to plan a trip for their 30th wedding anniversary sometime within the April-June timeframe for this year. We are seasoned WDW veterans but have only been to DL about 3 or 4 times. They definitely want to stay on-site, though (DL Hotel, Grand Californian, or Paradise...

Thanks! Thanks, everyone, for all your suggestions. Based on all of your input I think we'll stick to going to MGM first and at least getting RnRC in before it goes down for rehab then asking Guest Relations whether it looks like Epcot is gonna be closing. Thanks again!

Thanks! That is certainly welcome news if that's true.
