We are booked for a Royal Room at Riverside 11/13-11/22. We're not thrilled at the prospect of going to CBR or CSR, to be honest.

Thank you all who replied! We are coming from Chicago and were looking to fly down on a Friday night and back 9 days later on a Sunday. So we looked at 11/13-11/22, 11/20-11/29, and 12/4-12/13. We ran into availability over the weekends. With the changes in opening to 7/1, we've moved to...

All, We had a vacation booked for June at Riverside that we are now rescheduling later in the year. I am not seeing any availability for French Quarter at all, nor anything other than Royal rooms at Riverside. We'd very much prefer a Garden View room at either versus a Royal room, for cost...

It depends on where you are staying and what your party makeup is, really. If it's just you two (or me and the Mrs) and not the four of us with two kids under 12, anyplace is possible. But with all 5 of us, we'd say The Crystal Palace bar none. We stay at Riverside, and being that our viewpoint...

As near as I can tell (my Father In Law bought some stuff, so I have to estimate what it would have cost with just us paying for only us 4), we ran between $150-$160 per day on average, well below the $215 or so with tax it would have cost for 3 adults and 1 child per day. I'm not sure exactly...

We went 11/7-11/17/14 and went back off the DDP after doing it 2005-2013. At one time it was a pretty good deal, but now I wouldn't ever pay for it again. I can remember when it was, what $38/day with tip?! Heck, I can remember it being $45 or something. We have a 10yo that doesn't eat much at...

We've yet to have an issue with the quality or quantity of the food. I for one really enjoy the food and the atmosphere. The service has been consistently pleasant, but we seem to average 90-120 minutes in there door to door. No, we don't go to WDW at peak times and we do the bulk of our eating...

The food is pretty good...eaten there several times, haven't been back since 2009. At one time it was a staple of our nearly yearly trips. Our problem with MM has always been the length of time it takes to get through there. We don't have diet/menu restrictions or special, just straight menu...

Don't eat seafood of any kind, am highly allergic to MSG, and I don't do liver...that's basically it. I have a very simple palette, almost along the lines of Parks & Receation's Ron Swanson. It's not sophisticated, and I like it that way. Am I missing out on stuff that some, if not most would...

I would consider taking my lovely Wife here for an anniversary. The problem is that I don't eat seafood. Of any kind. Period. Tried it, hated it. If it doesn't say "Oink, Cluck, Moo, or Baa" I don't touch it when it comes to meats. Do they have any ability to provide non seafood alternatives...

Any idea what might cause the early (4pm) close at Studios on Thursday 11/14/13? It's a Christmas Party night at MK, so this makes little sense to me. We'll be there that week and I want to know if there is something I have to plan for. Thanks! Dave

We will be there 11/9-11/15 and this will be our first time actually seeing the Osborne Lights. How do the lights work...is it a show that repeats at regular intervals, if so, how long does it last, etc? We plan on hitting the 6:30 Fantasmic and hitting the O Light's afterward. Thanks! Dave

What's Jersey Week?

We used Mears until 2005, then went with a town car after getting stuck waiting 90 minutes in intense humidity waiting for a van...not a bus...a van from Mears in 2003. We could have gone in, but they kept telling us a few more minutes for an hour and a half. Of course, back then you paid $60 or...

Hi. To add on to this question, our current plans have us visiting several parks during the Extra Magic Hours, which, with young children, we will not really be taking advantage of. I know that the EMH will swell park attendance in those particular parks. Will the crowds in those parks still...
