    Copper Creek @ Wilderness Lodge

    When you come down the boat ramp, there's one boat on the right dock that loops around Bay Lake between - WL, FW and Contemporary. There's another boat on the right side of the boat dock that goes from WL and FW to MK. They actually have different color flags on the bow. :cat:

    Copper Creek @ Wilderness Lodge

    I love that a boat connects the WL to the other MK deluxe resorts. We stayed there a few years ago and appreciated the boat to connect to The CR for monorail access to all the other monorail resorts and restaurants and the MK. The actually have different color flags. :cat:

    Low salt?

    I would imagine that he would be able to order his sit down meals "a la carte".......so if he wants steak, he can tell them to just grill the steak with a plan baked potato. Again..as stated above, he should stay away from fast food/counter service since those meals are already prepared. Many...

    Distance to stay from Disney?

    Parking alone for the 14 days will be $280. Add gas to that and you will probably be close to $500 not counting a car rental if you need one. Add it all up and you can stay at a value resort for a week for maybe a bit more.

    Distance to stay from Disney?

    I looked on Google Earth and the distance between Melbourne and Disney World is 77 miles or 1 hour and 15 minutes without traffic etc. I cannot imagine doing this every day...not to mention the time it takes to get from the parking lot to TTC and then the park. I would imagine that the drive...

    Taking life vests for kids

    Life vests are available but my daughter brought "puddle jumpers". They give kids more freedom of movement in the pool. Her kiddos are 2 and 4.

    August Crowds

    I have visited many times at the end of August and the crowd level is quite manageable. I would stay away from the MK on the weekends and either take a resort day or visit another park. The weather, as stated above will be Hot .....Hot and Hotter and Humid ...Humid and more Humid. Now that...

    Which park on departure day?

    We usually visit The MK on our last day but we usually stay at a monorail DVC resort. This is the day that we wander in and out of the shops on Main Street but we are adults and that is OK to do. When the kids were little and now with the grandchildren, we have a character breakfast at Chef...

    Best Resorts

    Your children are very young so I would say that the Contemporary would be your best bet for the deluxe resort.....when you get home from the Magic Kingdom on the monorail, you are inside and home. Any of the monorail resorts would be fine due to the convenience to the park where you will...

    DVC Resale vs Direct

    DVC members do not get discount on tickets to the parks. They do get some discounts on special tours etc. Not sure about annual passes as I have never had those. You do get shopping ad dining discounts with your DVC card. :cat:

    MONORAIL QUESTION (EPCOT

    So...you are going to The California Grill from The Boardwalk? I assume that you will not wear shorts and t-shirts since the Cali Grill is a signature restaurant? I should take a taxi or uber. If you walk, as stated by many above.....you need to walk to the international gateway and walk to...

    We are leaving for Disney on Sunday and we purchased Disney Photo Pass. Can someone please explain the process of using it. I understand that it is on our Magic Bands. Do I just walk up to a Disney photographer and ask to have our picture taken? Can someone also please explain Magic Shots...
