Well, if it's gonna happen, I'd rather it be at Disney so I have a lot to distract me haha

Honestly it was just some older forum posts around the web! But now that I've been looking into it more, I think we will go a different route that won't even take us through Macon. Probably end up stopping around Savannah. Yea, see... this is why I'm a spaz. I'm going to really try to not let...

Wow, that's a great response! The review I saw stated that management was not helpful, so I guess it just depends on who you're dealing with. But thanks - this is the kinda stuff I need to hear. I'm going to go prepared and try not to stress about it.

I didn't realize you could make the hotel treat your laundry and luggage! Putting a pin in that one for later, just in case! When we get home, I'm planning on emptying my luggage in the garage, and putting it in some garbage bags for a couple weeks before I take it back in the house and store...

Ah twice? I hope it didn't ruin your experience. I can't see how it wouldn't though.. I know it's naive to think that they won't be at Disney - I just expect them to be handled more efficiently there I guess. Calling them is a great idea. I am still REALLY grossed out though now that I've...

Hi all - so we've decided to drive to Disney from Ohio, and I've read a great place to stop is Macon, GA. I'm kinda starting to feel the panic creep though, because the hotel we were going to stay at (Microtel by Wyndham) just had a recent report of big disgusting bed bugs complete with photos...

Thanks so much for the input everyone. It really helps! I appreciate every point of view. I think I'm going to try to work in some later dinner reservations as suggested. The issue there is I hate eating too late and then feeling crappy right before I zone out which, at home, is usually around...

I'm second guessing all the plans I've made so far because I'm afraid i'm getting too planned and scheduled...(I believe you need to be to some extent though). We are going early April for 5 nights and staying at AKL. I'm not sure anymore how to best fit everything between our dinner...

Oh my gosh! 101 Days! I'm gonna be squealing when we get in the double digits on Saturday.

Ahh thank you for the detailed explanation! This is very helpful. Gonna help with the anxiety big time!

Ah okay, that's some good info! Thank you! I remember the last time we were there, we waited for a bus back to POFQ from the magic kingdom at night (well before close) for at least an hour. I was furious after awhile because we were so exhausted and my feet were killing me. I don't know why it...

So we will be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge (Jambo) in early April, and I've heard that wait times for buses at this resort in particular can be really long. Does anyone have experience, or would you recommend, calling a cab or an uber service rather than waiting for a bus? My main concern is...

I'll be there early April! This has been my dream resort since we went for our Honeymoon in '14 and stayed at POFQ. We visited one night to eat at Sanaa and I cried on the way to the bus stop after dinner because the ambiance of the resort just.. overwhelmed me? I'm not sure! The lighting of the...

Oh thanks! And that's an excellent point haha. If they try to give me a 6 day ticket for a 5 night stay I usually select the 5 day ticket because I know I won't get much use out of the last day. I should think of it your way... I'd get in trouble at MK too though... I have a problem. LOL.
