We have been a couple times during that week. We went last year during this week and, yes it was crowded, but if you plan it out you can do everything you want. Plan on being there for park opening because the parks will fill up quickly. We did all the major attractions over the course of the...

We were there this past Christmas and New Year's. New Year's Eve at MK is a lot of fun. We did not care to commit the whole day there so we went to a different park in the morning and got to MK around 4:00. We walked right in. We were able to get a Fast Pass to Splash and visited Hall of...

This just comes down to personal preference. My personal preference is to take the WDW transportation. It's for the same reason I would never drive to WDW from Massachusetts. Driving, for me, is one of the things I like to get away from on vacation. Granted, the transportation can have...

Saw MK fireworks on both the 30th and New Year's Eve this past year. Thought they were fantastic. The 30th was almost better because it was not as crowded as New Year's Eve. The DJ at MK was great and he was there both nights. My kids (19 and 16) and I were having a great time listening and...

For me it's simple. I get very busy and can work long hours at work. Disney is my escape. It's my family's escape. There are not many things that a 20 year old and a 17 year old still want to do with their parents but my kids look forward to every trip. We've even brought one of my...

Who cares? People have way too much time on their hands.

We are DVC members so we usually go every year. The advantage to that is we don't feel we have to do everything every trip. We'll probably be going back the following year so we don't worry if we miss something. Obviously, not everyone has that luxury. Even before we joined the DVC we made a...

It is amazing to me that anytime Disney makes an announcement about additions/renovations/improvements there are always a few people who have a complaint. My kids are older and don't care much about Fantasyland anymore but I think the enhancements to Fantasyland are great. Snow White is very...

My wife and I were there last week, too. I will admit it was more crowded than I expected. However, staying on sight gives you a big advantage. We take the bus and get dropped off at the gate so you don't have to do the ferry or monorail. We got there for park opening and headed direcctly...

Park Maps, extra napkins, soaps from hotels, hotel pens are the freebies Sweatshirt, t-shirt, baseball cap, beach towels are the things we buy, but not necessarily all on the same trip.

Haven't been That Guy but I was an extra for Indy Stunt Spectacular. I was the one that got picked to get shot and have a dramatic death. Everyone recognizes you for the rest of the day in the park.

Beach Club. The pool is nice but, for us, it's the location. Close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, not to mention the Boardwalk.

We have done both in the past. We like the total immersion in Disney so offsite was not as good for us. We are members of DVC now. I agree that staying onsite is more expensive than offsite but we do other things to cut costs. Since we have no particular interest in going anywhere else, we...

We had a Savannah view when we went and it was the best thing we could have done. The AKL is very nice. We were pretty far from the main lobby but my issue was more with how far it was from the parks, with the exception of Animal Kingdom. We prefer to be more centrally located on property...

That's a pretty full itinerary. I didn't notice any down time for pool, rest, etc...Do you just not show it? I find I can't be on the go all day, every day. You need time to enjoy the atmosphere and surroundings at Wilderness Lodge. We usually put aside pool time every afternoon when the...
