Thanks everyone for your replies. What you're all saying is exactly what I had told her as well but I wanted to make sure since I don't get down there as often as some of you.

Some friends of ours told me LMA was "getting ready to leave" when they went to WDW a couple of months ago. I hadn't heard anything about this and just want someone to tell me they're a little :p. We just missed the opening last year and haven't been back yet.

Okay, I know I'll probably get slapped by the veterans for this suggestion because it's not Disney related, but if you get the chance go to Sea World and see their Shamu Christmas program. It is the last Shamu show of the evening and it is really nice. Last year it was a candlelight program with...

Probably not Atlanta Atlanta will most likely stay open. FEMA/DHS has officially asked for assistance from fire departments from across the country (by selection only from FEMA). FEMA is requesting 1,000 2-person teams to respond. In the directive sent to all fire departments from FEMA, it...

Woody, you are incorrect on your facts about being able to release a victim's identity. In all cases, not just minors, the new federal HIPAA Act prevents ANYONE from releasing information about a patient without their prior permission. As a paramedic I cannot even tell a family member which...

Like crazygirly stated, PC is a wonderful resort and you can see IROE if you head to the 50's building with Tramp out front. Go around to the lake side of the building on the 3rd floor and you can see the fireworks and hear some of the music. When we stayed the week after Thanksgiving last year...

A Paramedic/Firefighter Point of View Hi there folks, Let me first say that these kind of articles really get me going because of the position I'm in. Everyone calls us heroes but in cases like these no reporter knows how we really feel afterwards. We're the hero if we save 'em and the...

The weekend immediately following Thanksgiving is pretty crowded but on Sunday, most people are heading home. Mon-Fri. of the following week was very nice last year. Never waited in any line longer than 15 minutes. Have fun and enjoy the Christmas themeing.

If you could possibly wait until the week after Thanksgiving to go, you could enjoy the Christmas decorations and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We went for the first time as a family at that time last year and we will never go at any other time of the year now. The crowds are light after...

We went for the first time last November and our family has decided that we couldn't imagine even going to WDW at any other time of the year now. Christmas is definitely in the air and yes, even this macho firefighter, had a tear in his eye a few times because of being overwhelmed with seeing my...

Here's something that hasn't been mentioned yet. If you're purchasing everything on your own and not using our friend Pam from Kingdom Konsultants, try buying items like park passes, resies, other needed items in spurts and not all at once. We bought our parkhoppers a couple at a time and it...

Well said AEfx!! I always respect your opinion on here Woody but I too have to disagree with you on this one. POP transportation is great. While the station at the resort could be covered for those long, hot summer days, it's not vital. We never waited more than 10 minutes either at the resort...

We stayed there at the end of November and loved it. Just a suggestion, try to get the Tramp building from Lady and the Tramp with a room overlooking the lake on the top floor and you'll be able to see all the fireworks from both Disney Studios and Epcot each night. Like stated above, it's only...

Good, comfortable walking shoes that are pre-trip broken in. Don't wait to get there to break them in. Bandaids for blisters are a must. Autograph books with LARGE pens so the characters can hold on to them while signing. Must for the kiddos. Small backpack to hold rain ponchos, water...

Or you can do what we did and bring a large cooler and fill it with free ice from the resort. Works just about the same. Saved a ton of money on drinks and breakfast.
