That is because the real security are the people looking you over as you stand in line for the bag check. They group us all together so they can check us out, and see if anyone looks a little off or extra antsy.

Oh good grief. I'm not calling you a liar, relax. From what I understand they used to allow people to keep their bags on, but after a guest complained about being touched by the person doing the bag search, they made the change. In the last few years the standard is to make the guest take...

Breakfast at the ABC Commisary. I had sausage and eggs, and ended up tossing it, it was so gross!

Today I would have to say Jeremy Renner. Just saw the new Bourne movie, and he is yummy!:D

I don't mind feeling like a kid at the parks, and even at the resort. But when it is time to unwind and rest up for the next day of fun, I need a bit of calm and quiet. Not loud colors or decorations. If you can sleep and enjoy it, have at it! I'm just leaving more room for all of you!!

I like Touring Plans for their touring plans. In order to pick which park on what day, I have found EasyWDW to be a bit more accurate in regards to how busy each park will be. Plus, they won't change their minds at the last minute, and TP will. Not good if you are making ADRs based on their advice.

I like being submersed into a theme. But AoA looks as if you are submersed without a breathing apparatus, while Nemo swims by smacking you with his fin. Over the top is fine. Over the top and under the bridge and everything in between is not. For me, anyway.

I wouldn't stay at AoA. It looks way too loud for my tastes, and I am someone who likes the other value resorts. Why couldn't they have made it just a tad less A 3yr old Designed This looking?

While building a whole new section of the Magic Kingdom. And I think there are very few resorts they have left untouched too. They are spending money like crazy and no one seems to notice that.

In order to make another family member happy, I have an ADR at the Rainforest Cafe at the Animal Kingdom. I can hardly believe how huge the menu is! So I'm looking for suggestions on what is good. Also, are the portions huge? Should we share a meal?

I think the small things such as printed napkins are a very nice touch. However, if it comes down to Disney raising ticket prices again, or losing printed napkins, then the napkins can go. I'm glad they are looking at things to cut without immediately resorting to raising prices even more...

You don't have to put a card down on your room. I don't.

I've never ever seen a guest allowed to keep their bag on their body. Security always makes them take it off, and open up all compartments. Also, the bag check is there to make people feel more secure, and to discourage people from bringing contraband into the parks. It is also there to...

Thanks! My trip isn't until the middle of December, so if I can go in March or April it would be great to know ahead of time.:)

Disney does have a lot of large-ish resorts. However if you want to be close to the main building you can always pay the rather small extra amount to be close, and do less walking. If you are too cheap to pay the $15 a night (or whatever your preferred resort charges) don't complain that the...
