    Speaking of moving...if I wanted to move to..

    Speaking of moving...if I wanted to move to.. say, Clearwater area, Orlando/Kissimmee area or any part of northern FL, what would yall recommend? My main concern is finding a good school system for my 9 year old. A good PUBLIC school system (single mom, one income here). There seems to be a...

    Which room at Port Orleans Riverside?

    We stayed at Parterre Place early May. The walk to the lobby/bus stop/boat stop/etc was one minute tops. The rooms hadn't been refurbished yet but they were decent. And it was right next to the quiet pool (open 24 hrs), laundry, etc. Magnolia Terrace is right across from the pool but I'm not...

    Port Orleans Riverside A.B. which bld is best?

    Parterre Place is right next to the lobby/bus stop/etc. One minute walk tops. Not sure why it never gets mentioned??? It's right next to Magnolia Terrace (if I remember right). We stayed in I believe 9530 (first floor) which was right next to the quiet pool.

    Great Trip May 2004, Great Disney Service Part 1

    Hi from a fellow Illinoisian! :wave: Glad your dad is doing better - how great that the Caribbean CMs were able to make it a less stressful time for you. I've been in similiar situations before (sick on vacation) and had people treat my fam like peons which makes it so much worse. And it...

    Taking Kids Out Of School

    I'm a person that puts more merit on life lessons rather than 'book learning.' Going to WDW last month was my daughter's first family vacation that was longer than 2 days. My mother, daughter and I took two days to drive down, spend a few days at WDW, a couple days at Clearwater and than a...

    Port Orleans resort

    I hope so, we were just there beginning of May! Don't know if we'll make it back next year or not but we'll see. Luckily he has an easy name to remember if we do make it back (course I'm a wee bit forgetful, I'll probably go looking for Mickey or something). :)

    Port Orleans resort

    OMgosh, I love Donald! He was hilarious. My mom, daughter and I got on at DTD and it was just us 3 and him. We were casually chatting away about this and that. Than he turned once we hit Sarasota Springs, picked up the mic and started doing a spiel on it. When he was done he put the mic...

    Port Orleans resort

    My family and I went to POR for our first WDW at the beginning of May. I second the breakfast at Boatwright's - the banana stuffed french toast is wonder-ful! The boat ride to Downtown Disney was very nice and quicker than what they say (20 mins I think? Seems like 10 at most). And it's a...

    *SNAP* your fingers!

    Okay one snap would definitely be the candy store on Main Street :slurp: One snap to be on Splash Mountain right before the drop. And one snap (this is like wishes right? We get three??) to be sitting in It's Tough to be a Bug holding my daughters hand.

    Why Can You Shoot Video/Take Flash Pictures in Some Attractions But Not in Others??

    Re: Re: Wacko Oh wow, that's an interesting tidbit. I didn't even know pin trading was a thing til the day we left, otherwise I'm sure my daughter would have been on the hunt. I'll have to keep that in mind on our next trip. Although I'd hate to "have" to make a CM trade.

    Help...Best Breakfast....

    I'm with you. The service was okay (nothing exceptional) but the banana stuffed french toast was wonderful. Everything else they had, the usuals (bacon, eggs, etc) was also very good. That was the only breakfast we ate while there (otherwise we ate in room) and it was worth it.

    How much do CMs make? ($$$$)

    Definitely doesn't sound like Disney CM job is possible for me :( not that I'm surprised . My one income household wouldn't make it..and I'd rather feed/clothe my daughter than be a CM. Don't get me wrong, I'd be a kick*** CM..I don't mind working with the public, love making people...
