    Renting points vs booking

    We've rented points a number of times in the past and save tons of $$$$. Going to Beach Club in October for 3 nights for F&W. Rented points for a studio for $500. Would have cost me that much for one night booking through Disney. We have used Mouseowners.com a number of times without any...

    End of August Crowds?

    Tell me about it. She's a straight A student too!!! Not happy about it at all since we've been going in May forever and this certainly messes up our routine. But it sounds like late August is a viable alternative

    End of August Crowds?

    Thanks for all the help. Sounds like late August is a pretty good option. We are OK with the heat and even in May you get the afternoon rains.

    End of August Crowds?

    After years of going in early May and enjoying light crowds and beautiful weather we are going to have to switch our travel dates to the end of August because my oldest DD is starting High School and the district docks her grade 2 points for every unexcused absence. We are trying to avoid...

    My Number 1 Tip For Epcot.

    Forgot to mention this one before. Go to Rose & Crown on weekday afternoon and sit at the bar. Carl the Bartender is the BEST. Ask him to do the "leaning pint" trick and the disappearing coin trick. He's a blast

    My Number 1 Tip For Epcot.

    #1 - Catch all the "street performers" Sergio the Mime, the Chinese Acrobats, the Japanese Drummers, the French Waiters, the Ziti Sisters, all great fun and my kids LOVE them. These 10 minute breaks force you to slow down and enjoy. #2 - If going to F&W, PEOPLE WATCH!!! DW and I will find...

    Annual Passes and Perks

    We bought "regular" AP's in Oct when we went to F&W, knowing we were going again for 8 days in May. I ran the numbers and for the cost of 2 adult 8 day park hoppers and the 2 day MYW tickets plus 8 days of parking in May compared to 2 adult AP"s I think I remember saving about $20. And as my...

    Post Thanksgiving - Pre XMas Crowds?

    After many trips in early May, thinking of surprising our DD's with a trip this winter, post Thanksgiving - Pre Xmas to take in all that the parks have to offer during that time over a long weekend, Thurs-Sun. I've read that the crowds are very light during those 3 week leading up to...

    Whit! Drinking Already.

    I guess I'm the "lush" of the group. If I'm on vacation and I'm walking around Epcot, HS or AK you can bet I'm the first one in line at when they start serving. I like to enjoy a couple cold beers while touring the parks.

    Flame Tree or Tusker House?

    We are BIG fans of Tusker House. We go every year for lunch and my DD's now 12 & 10 have always loved the choices and variety. Plenty for everyone, from pork to chicken to beef, couscous, mashed potatoes, great green beans, lots of breads, and delicious deserts.

    Tell me about food and wine festival!

    DW and I LOVE F&W. Going 10/1-10/4. Third year in a row for us. We spend two full days walking and grazing and people watching. The best part for us is just the pure relaxation, as we go for 8 days every year with our daughters in May and this trip is our RELAXING DISNEY TRIP. As far as...
