I stayed at POR for 20 years and never did the carriage ride (although it was not available all 20 years). I recently started staying at other resorts and wanted to go back for nostalgic sake. We took the ride on our early December trip and absolutely loved it! The grounds are beautiful and...

That is strange--I am not DVC and I was able to book a villa for December. I would have thought that DVC would have had first priority....

Just noticed today that the new Copper Creek Villas and Cabins (at Wilderness Lodge) are available to book. It looks like the first date that they can be booked is July 17, 2017.

I am going to Disney World in a couple of weeks. I booked Wilderness Cabins for my stay. I just added another day on to the beginning of my trip and I will be staying at All Star Sports for the arrival night. I arrive at MCO at 8:00 at night and figure I will get to All Star Sports around...

Thank you so much for this response. I did not think that I could roll a park ticket into an AP a month before the trip. I was surprised when the CM told me I could do this. I even reiterated to her that I was going before the package ticket. I will probably still buy the AP and save the...

I am currently booked for a trip in April with a 6 day park hopper pass. There are 4 of us booked with the package deal. I have the opportunity to be in Disney next week for a couple of days. I am thinking about getting an annual pass that I will use for the 2/3 days next week and then use it...

Keep in mind that the first one was on February 29th, 2012. Next year is leap year. I haven't seen anything announced and that is only a few months away.

We just got back yesterday...stayed from Feb. 21st to 28th. It was very crowded but manageable. Many CM's commented that there are no slow times anymore. There were a lot of people from the Northeast who said they were on winter break. The weather was up and down, mainly low to mid 70's...

Thank you so much for your last trip report and your descriptions of WL. After 16 years staying at POR, we decided to give WL a try. It is amazing! I was thinking of you last week when my 16 year old daughter did not want to move from POR to WL. She loved it!!

I will not tell anyone!!! We are home now but we loved that room and hope to get it on a future trip. I agree about the walk to the elevator but the view was worth the walk!

Sitting in the lobby of WL right now. First time staying here after 16 years at POR. It is absolutely beautiful! We are in room 5167. We booked court yard. We are facing the lake and geyser. Get to sit on the balcony and watch the water pageant every night. Could not ask for a better...

I booked a trip using Orbitz a month ago. At the time, Disney did not have anymore discounted rooms available for the time I was travelling. Orbitz did have discounted rooms available for the same time period. I played around in the site by starting with 3 (2 adults and 1 child) and then...

I am sorry if this has been asked before, I seem to think that it has. I searched but cannot find anything. Right now, Tickets at Work has a deal where you buy 3 days and get 2 free or buy 4 and get 3 days free. I need tickets for 6 days. I am pretty sure that I can add a day to the 5 day...

Thank you so much for this. I booked with Orbitz last night and was not aware of the glitch. I rebooked today and saved some extra money. Now, I have to call and add my daughter!

Coming out of "lurking" to agree with what others have said, I love that you enjoy and share every moment that you spend in Disney World. You two should be the poster people for Disney World. Thanks so much for sharing your for life and your smiles!
