It took us about 45-1 hour to get to the magic Kingdom from the Orange Lakes resort. We ended up hiring a private car for the week. Cost about as much as a rental would have anyway.

I have a question for ya! Do you think it's possible to have a Wedding at Shades of Green and a reception in the parks (or a special dessert party for Illuminations)? Just day dreaming. ;)

Nope. We didn't really explore the resort much however, their pizza delivery was good! lol I would suggest that anyone who stay here RENT A CAR if you plan on exploring anywhere outside of your room. The shuttles were EXTREMELY inconvient. We would have had to walk over a block just to get...

Review! Hi Jeff (and others!) Yup - that's me! I do the Disneyland column for Celebrations. Best job ever! My friend and I stayed in the West Village area and ended up getting set up with Platinum Transportation while we were there. They were very prompt and friendly and stayed with us...

I'm so glad someone posted this!!!! My best friend and I are headed there this December! We're wondering how we're going to get to and from the parks in the most economical fashion possible. Rental cars are looking like over $300 for the week (12/1-12/8), so there has GOT to be something...

I always rationalized it figuring that Fantasyland is all about story book stories, and Heidi was pretty well known at one time....

I was thinking that perhaps it was one lap around the Rivers of America. When we swam the DCA lagoon last year, we swam the perimeter of the lagoon. I'm more concerned about getting hung up or injured by submerged show equipment. I'm sure it's more than 1-2 feet deep - but that's because...

I have been waiting almost a year for Danskin to announce where the LA Women's Triathlon would be held. I'm THRILLED to note that it's BACK at the Disneyland Resort!:sohappy: They haven't released the track info yet. Last year, we swam in the main laggoon in DCA that is currently empty. The...

Just had to say I LOVE your wedding photos! They are beautiful and it looks like such a fun day!

Yup! Took them several years to get over the fact that I go to Disneyland solo (well, sort of solo - I bring my dog usually) for a day or two! There aren't many single rider lines, but there is NOTHING like just strolling the parks and soaking everything up. Oddly enough, now a couple of my...

Hey folks! Just wondering if anyone is planning to or has gotten hitched at Shades of Green? I am interested in seeing what their process is, general idea of costs, photos and all that jazz... Thanks! -

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to my friends (who currently think I'm crazy) being pea green with envy when I come back with great photos and good stories. :) :sohappy:

Thanks folks! I guess I'm nervous about going solo AND dining solo with characters. In a restruant I can usually keep myself entertained with a book, or writing about my trip, reviewing photos on my camera, or sending a few text messages. So I don't feel too out of place. Often, I'll eat at...

Hey there folks! I am taking my first trip to WDW this Decemeber and there's a good chance I'll be flying solo. My "tradition" at Disneyworld is to start off my first morning with a Character breakfast. It really helps break the ice and get me in the mood (especially after a 6+ hour...

Holiday meet up! Anyone game for December 7th meet up? I'm looking at the evenings of the 7th and the 21st. :) Let me know who's game! An extra bonus - the Candlelight Processional will be on the 7th!
