Yeesh, this is inching by.... 42 days. Waiting on the arrival of my ME packet and the finals docs from Disney (can't wait for those luggage tags!)

We had booked last week with $89 each way out of Chicago...then we saw the new deal. We wound up getting it for $69 instead and got a $56 credit.

As JPVonDrake stated, the ticket tax rate is 6.5% (Florida state tax). It doesn't matter if you buy them at the gate, at the resort, online, or from TDS in another state...it's always going to be 6.5%. If you buy gift items at resorts, sales tax is 6.5%. The ONLY difference in tax is the tax...

Just to add to that, it's actually no interest for 6 months...not just no interest ever. What I found interesting as well if that if you make payments towards the trip, each payment has a 6 month no interest period...it's not just 6 months from the time you book.

Meal: anything at Boma...in particular the coconut curry crusted salmon Snack: Dole whip float

Tough choice for me. I loved the food at CP, but loved the interaction at CM.

My faves (in no particular order) Boma (ok this one is definitely number one for me) Brown Derby San Angel Bongos (more sentimental for me than anything...my late grandfather treated my dh and I to lunch there) We've been to several more places, but these are the ones I love returning...

Actually there have been times Walt walked away from business deals. When Walt was looking for a location for WDW, he went to St. Louis to check it out. A comment was made by the head of the city's leading business that offended Walt and Walt pulled out of St. Louis. Bankers came to...

True, the sponsors would suffer the financial loss. But to say it's no problem? I beg to differ. Reputation goes a long way for a company, especially when it's trying to prove itself (in this case, while TWDC proved itself with Disneyland, it had not yet proved itself with WDW). Yes Disney...

There's a BIG difference between creating a cartoon & theme park...and creating a city. It has nothing to do with supporting Walt with his "crazy ideas"...it has everything to do with the reality of creating an actual town in the capacity he wanted...it was just not a feasible idea. It's not...

We'll be there in 79 days...September 10-15 at Carribean Beach!! Seems like an eternity....

Our favorite is Winter Summerland. They have two courses with different themes...a winter theme and a summer theme. We play both rounds every year. :)

I think Walt's idea for EPCOT was neat, but in reality wouldn't have been able to be feasible. That said, they still somewhat did what Walt wanted in terms of a community...Celebration, FL.

No offense, but what you're saying is very idealistic. Regardless if you paid for "services" or not, they do not guarantee the ride will most definitely be operational when you go. And it's ideal and naive to believe that a ride should be 100% operational 100% of the time...not just in WDW but...

My husband and I did "Dolphins in Depth" in June 2004...we absolutely LOVED it!!
