I'm so excited to be trying it this trip! I called about 140 days ahead and got my ADR- 6:40. Just what I wanted. Of course, when I made one for Coral it, the choices were 5:40 or 7:40.

I'd definately vote for 50's. I prefer the better food, and I like the homey feel. If I wanted to eat while watching tv, I can do that at home. But if Sci-fi is your preference, I'd say if your party is 3+, it's not such a good idea unless you like starig at the back of their heads.

The CMs do get involved in some-- Hollywood Movie Ride.

I think both parks are their merits...but Disney is more of an experience. There's more going on in theming and planning. Waiting in Disney is more interesting. IMO. I live in Six Flags Great Adventure and I'm just not really willing to plan a whole trip to Universal when I have a reg. theme...

Fav TS: Boma Fav CS: Backlot Express (But I enjoyed Peco Bills and Tusker as well) Least TS: Wolfgang Puck's cafe--it was really snooty and loud (plus they didn't include something on the menu on the DDP) Least CS: The food court at CB

Also does anyone know what time Kona closes?

My bro and parents took his son last year, and he was only 2.5 years old. He went on It's a small world and that's it. But that's because he was too scared of the dark and my bro and sis-in-law didn't push him to do anything else. I think if you will inform him/her that it will be dark and...

Haha, I don't know why I just didn't look at the 2008 dining plan brochure. Silly me :-p

on the DDP, does Kona Cafe count as a sit-down or counter service? The menus are in the counter service section, but the prices are mighty high for dinner. Thanks!

I know, I think we should have our own disney planning book! My bf and I said we should write one ourselves and call it: Disney without kids, and we're not playing golf either! It's hard to find one that doesn't include that and spas and super fancy dining that costs an arm and leg! Where's...

I truly enjoy Backlot express, the veggie sandwich with black bean salad was top-notch!! I heart tusker-so sad it's closing, and at MK I liked Peco Bills. I've heard good things about the Harbor House and Casey's Corner. Can't wait to try!

We really enjoyed our trip last January. I want to do the super behind the scenes tour but it's kinda expensive even with the disney visa discount. So far we made reservations at Coral Reef and Le Cellier. We're definately going to do Boma and 50's again. And he wants a character meal so I...

Of course you're still welcome. Not bringing the kids along is equivalent. Similar generation. I just know when my parents go down in november, they are certainly not doing what I'll be doing. Which tours? I think I'm going to do the Aqua Seas one.

I wholeheartedly agree. I miss the animatronics and the song. While I do miss Horizons, I enjoyed Soarin'. And Alien Encounter-it was scary but fun and it was a change of pace- can't we have 1 not-so-kid friendly ride? Plus not enough Snow White princess stuff. Come on, she was the...

I'll be heading down to WDW in jan, and trying to figure out where to eat. I've been there probably like 5 or 6 times, but never even step foot into this hotel. All 3 sit-down options sound really good- Kona, Ohana and the Luau, and was wondering out of the 3 which would you recommend for 2...
