    Villas at Grand Floridian

    We've experienced overlooking the pool/beach/main building & walkway and overlooking the wedding pavilion/monorail. The wedding pavilion allowed for a partial water view and I loved, loved, loved watching the monorails go by in the morning while eating breakfast.

    Astro Orbiter...

    It's pretty cool, if for no other reason that you are way above everything and have some pretty awesome views of the MK.

    Signature Restaurants

    I'll echo Weather_Lady. If you want to take your kidlet to nicer restaurants, "train" them to dine at nicer restaurants by going out at home as well. We have two kids (8 & 5) who know how to act when we are dining out because we go out to dinner at decent sit down places year round. They've...

    How old were you when you first visited the Magic Kingdom?

    I was 4 and Space Mountain ruined me for roller coasters forever. But I did love driving the remote controlled boats by the Jungle Cruise and miss them every time I walk by these days.

    Disney Perfect Princess Tea Party

    My 4 year old daughter and I went last September. I'd glad we did it, but it is not something I would consider attending again. The doll is nice, as is the charm bracelet but the experience seemed to drag on and on (guess they wanted you to feel like you were getting your money's worth. I...

    Does the sword ever come out of the stone?

    My daughter and I caught the show just last week (Feb 16th) where two adults tried to pull the sword then a girl pulled it most of the way out. She became something-something of Fantasyland for the day. It was a pretty cute show; happened about 11:30 am.

    Direct to Room Check-In coming?

    So, we decided to go along with the straight to room concept this weekend. I requested close to lobby & early room availability at Kidani, knowing we would arrive very close to 11 am. We arrived at 11 and left the luggage with bell services then stopped by the front desk to find out where to...

    Anyone done "straight to room?"

    We will be in heaven, I mean WDW, this weekend and I received an email this afternoon inviting me to skip the front desk check in and head straight to the room. Has anyone done this? Looks like they will text my room number to us and we can head right there since we have already received our...

    Celebration dinner bonus/freebie?

    We received a couple of glasses of champagne and a special dessert for us and one for each kidlet when we celebrated our 15th anniversary at the Wave in September. It was our actual anniversary date and the server was one we have gotten to know over the past couple of years and always request...

    Top of the World Lounge

    You, as a member, can take non DVC members to the lounge but you or someone in your party has to have their membership card with them to gain access.

    Annual Pass dates?

    When we purchased our passes last year (prior to going to WDW) they did not start the use year until we used them the first time to enter a park. Actually, we ended up with a three week add on somehow-- we purchased the annual passes in November and the use year did not end until early...

    Are you going to buy points at the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows?

    First time, we booked July 28th for a Feb 14 stay. Wanted GFV (home), or BLT; wait listed BLT are staying at AKV. Second time, decided on a semi spur of the moment trip with non DVC friends. Tried for either studio, 1 or 2 BR at any resort, for a three night trip (Thurs/Fri/Saturday)...

    Changing FP+ Reservations through App

    I'd say it's easier to use the app to change FP than the my Disney website.

    How to find Best Resteraunts?

    I'll plug one of our favorites: The Wave at the Contemporary. It's not a signature restaurant, but I've consistently had better meals there than at some of the signatures. And it has a full range of main courses-- beef, pork, chicken and seafood along with a pasta selection or two.

    Are you going to buy points at the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows?

    We would love to add points and considered it but we have experienced booking issues the last three times we tried to book a DVC stay (first time our first two choices were unavailable and waitlist didn't come through, next all dvc resorts were full--our fault for trying to book a month out for...
