I just got back from a weekend at the World. On Sunday it was extremely rainy in the am. My son and I took 2 spins on Primeval Whirl (without asking, and were offered a third), we also took 4 trips on Kali. We figured we couldn't get any wetter than we already were. We basically had the park...

The very first time I rode in the monorail was about 7 months ago, when I took my son on a day trip. I had read that you could ride in the front, but had never tried. I figured what the heck and I asked a CM if we could ride in the front car. They said sure and that was that. Nothing special...

Greetings everyone. I was at the World with my family yesterday and I saw a few things worthy of note. Started out the day with a trip on Space Mountain - almost no wait at all. Hung around Tommorowland (still painting those rocks) and did the usual rides there (Buzz, TTA, SM). After that...

Experience with Chip and Dale About 3 weeks ago, I took my son to Magic Kingdom for a father son day. I decided to wear my new Lord of the Rings T-Shirt that says "Frodo Lives" on the front. I also had on my necklace that has a replica of the One Ring of Power. Well, on the ferry across the...

Crazy I expect that MLK weekend will be pretty busy :mad: but that is the price we pay for heading out on a holiday. I know that I'm landing at the Wilderness Lodge on the 17th and departing on the 21st. I'm hoping for a little relaxation amongst the craziness. On the bright side, if it is...

Thanks for the help. Looking forward to our trip. 12 DAYS LEFT!!

Does anyone out there have a list of attractions that will be down in November? I'm trying to plan my trip with my disabled wife and two very abled kids and was hoping to get some advance warning on what may be shut down for rehab.

My lovely wife and two adorable kids will be joining me at POR November 11-16. Anxiously awaiting my 3 hour drive to the most magical place on earth. First time at POR, stayed at AKL last year and loved it. Anyone who is staying there with a savannah view is in for a major treat. Make sure to...

My 2 Cents of Negativity Well, I am not a big fan of the "thrill" rides, so most of those could go. But I would definately moth ball Body Wars. I was sooo sick:hurl: on that one that my day was pretty much shot after that. I am going to try Test Track and Star Tours this year. Hopefully I...

I just ordered my DVC video :sohappy: I wish that they had all the other resort exclusive channels on video.

I have to vote for Boma. :sohappy: I think that that was the best breakfast buffet that I have ever been to. My wife and son both had an infection in their gums which made eating very painful, but even they were chowing down. The punch and mimosa's were divine. I'm planning to make PS again...

I am another who HATES drops (the main reason I don't do roller coasters), but I love PotC. I remember the disappointment when it was down for rehab on my honeymoon.:mad: Anyway, I am looking forward to another ride this November.

November Party My wife and our 2 kids will be there November 11-15, maybe the 16th if I can talk her into an extra day. We are staying at POR (first time there) after last year's stay over at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Also having a nice lunch at Cinderella's Castle just for my daughter who...

I'll be at WDW around the same time. I hope that Epcot has some attractions open late, as well. I love WS but I like FW better. Thanks for the info.

My question is just how safe would the laptop be in the room at WDW? I was debating bringing mine, but the in-room safe over at AKL didn't seem big enough for my laptop.
