I did the planning for my daughter's boyfriend for our trip in December 2004. He wanted to propose in the castle as Cinderella has always been my daughter's favorite. The first, and MOST difficult, part was to get the PS reservation for Cinderella's breakfast. (They did tell us that we were...

I also mentioned this in another thread. We stayed at Riverside last year when there were at least 1400 rooms taken by the Pop Warner group. We had only 2 possible complaints about them, although that is perhaps too strong a word. Since they travel as a group, they all arrive for the bus...

Last year they also stayed at Riverside as well as All Stars - I was told there were over 1,400 of them at Riverside. The only time we saw them was in the Food Court, where they were no real problem. They did, however, overtake the pool and hot tubs so you might want to look into where they...

We stayed December 2004 in building 14 and LOVED it ! Even the presence of the Pop Warner troops didn't mar the experience TOOOO much. (We really couldn't enjoy the pool, and FORGET the hot tubs ! Hordes of squealling pre-pubescent cheerleaders do NOT induce a relaxing mood. :lol: )...

Does anyone out there know when the Pop Warner crowds will descend upon Disney ? thanks !

Last December we ate at both the Norway Princess breakfast and the next day at Cinderella's Royal Table. Cinderella is ONLY at the Castle for breakfast, but she was joined by Belle, Jasmine and Aladdin, Mary Poppins, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. We saw all the above ( except for...

My oldest daughter was abnormally tall, completely off the height/weight charts during those years when the pediatrician keeps such measurements. She first rode Thunder Mtn at the tender age of 2 and loved it !! My second daughter is somewhat small for her age, but just squeaked by the...

Condolences to the girl's family and the friends/relatives that took her on vacation. I also am angered by the way these things are presented in the media. I live in Ohio, but get my network news out of New York. On the morning news today they were reporting a 7 year old boy's death at a...

I had no idea about these photo packages. In December 2004 we had the Princess breakfast at Epcot and Cinderella's Royal table and did not have photos taken at either character meal. I would think that far more would be purchased if it included a character in the picture. I do, however...

I personally have always felt that the "fire code" explanation was bogus. I lived in Florida for quite some time, and have stayed in plenty of hotels and motels while traveling the state. Most of the time it was my parents, me and my husband, and our 2 sons. That's a total of 6. We never...

As a mother of a little one who was also afraid of the self-flushers I can offer some advice that I learned on these forums. Teach her where the eye sensor is located. ( Our WalMarts here have the auto-flush commodes) If you carry a small pad of post-it notes with you, all you have to do is...

Thanks ! I wasn't aware it was being aired. Sure would love to see the Muppets back.....Fraggle Rock too.

WOWWWWWWWW... How can we help get these resorts into construction ? Of course, my trips south would now at least triple in frequency. The youngest would want to stay in Sleeping Beauty's cottages, the older daughter would want the Cinderella area, my adult sons would opt for the Villains...

I'll second that idea !! If they offered prices like that in the peak season, just imagine what they would be for us off-season travelers....... :sohappy:

:lookaroun :lookaroun :lookaroun Ummm, I get all teary just reading this board !! ( I'm having MAJOR withdrawal and it hasn't quite been 6 months since I was there ! :lol: ) I cry easily, so I expect to tear up at all the usual spots. The moments that took me completely off guard were...
