    Crowds next week???

    It might be a little busy the first part of your trip as you are catching the tail end of "Jersey Week." It should not be horrible, though, and the rest of your trip should be fine. The weather is so nice in early November. Enjoy!:)

    Would you/do you take your kids out of school

    Actually, I pulled my kids out this past Sept 20-26. I thought they missed a lot less than they did when I pulled them out in November two years ago. These are the only two times I have done this, but both times my kids had the bulk of the work done before we even left. This time, all they...

    Taxi prices?

    We used taxis a few times when we were there last month. We stayed at POR, and spent between $8-$12 depending where we were going. Just be forewarned, you may get spoiled. After a couple of taxi rides, it was tough to get back on a bus, especially at park closing!!:)

    Talked the in-laws out of Christmas...

    Up here in the northeast, most schools go back on Jan 2. I think that should actually be an excellent week to go regarding crowds, and the decorations are probably still up. Go for it!! :xmas:

    Weekend of Sept. 21-23

    This scares me a little. We will be there that weekend and I was hoping for those light September crowds. I hope lines are not too awful...

    When you drive, what's stopping you?

    Wow!! I am impressed. Being from just south of you in Lacey, I don't know anyone who has made it in less than 20 hours. How fast were you guys going? I want directions from you!:animwink: We always fly, but 15 hours I might consider the drive.

    Tell me about Carribbean Beach Resort

    We stayed at CBR two years ago and absolutely loved it!! We are going again this September, but are staying at POR because our party is 5 people this time, and POR is the only moderate that can sleep 5 (child's trundle bed). I will miss CBR, and would have stayed there again if we could. We...

    Rock'n'Rollercoaster refurb official

    I am bummed because we did not ride it 2 years ago as my daughter was too young, and were looking forward to it this time. That said, I am still thrilled that we got free dining, and my first reaction when I read about the refurb on these boards a while ago was "Oh well, I guess we will have to...

    Epcot Dining

    It will require a day's admission, but depending on how many days you bought on your MYW it may be worth it. Last time, I bought a 7 day rather than a 6 day ticket because it cost $3-$5 more. Well woth it, even if I only spent a couple of hours at Epcot and had dinner there.

    Growing Concern I have about Guests and WDW

    I have to say that we saw both extremes on our last visit. It seemed that on the bus in the morning soooo many people offered up their seats so that an older person or young child would not have to stand. Someone even commented "Yeah, this is just like the subway in NY. Everyone gives up their...

    Swimming in Disney's lakes

    Yes, this is true. I remember it as a teen, shortly after we had returned from our first WDW trip. We had gone to River Country and had a blast, so I was really creeped out when I read about that kid.

    Two tourists abducted, robbed after leaving Downtown Disney

    Found the video on their website. The title was "Disneyland Abductions," even while the icon says Walt Disney World! :eek: :brick:

    S'borin

    Sorry, my family absolutely loved this ride. The closest I will ever come to hang gliding! As for not actually feeling like you are flying, I think just a little bit of imagination gets you there.:p
