Congratulations, that is fantastic! You give me hope for my own trip, next year.

Welcome home, Rocketman, and congratulations!

Rocketman, if I were your sister I would ask you the following nosy questions: * Is this vacation you've got booked in your name, or in your cast-member-friend's name? ** If it's in your name, have you asked your cast-member-friend if it would screw up the deal for you to try to apply DVC...

You always have such amazing photos and I am particularly in awe of your action shots!

I haven't been there yet, myself, but some of the folks in this older thread had some interesting things to say about Saratoga. I was particularly interested in the Treehouses, but they talked some about the entire resort. Hope that'll help until the experienced folks get a chance to speak up...

Such a wonderful trip report! Thank you especially for all the pictures of the Castle. My immediate family and our friends are planning a big trip down there in late 2012 and I'm keeping my sanity in the meantime by looking at all the wonderful sights we'll be seeing.

I have been defeated by the Dark Side! :hammer::hammer::hammer:Oh God. Please don't mind me: I'm weening myself off prescription meds, and I have Stupiditis lately. I am very sorry! Lemme try that again! And see if I do any better at communicating myself at ALL this time! You said...

For those thinking about dressing to the theme a little during Star Wars Weekends: If you get the right Jedi Robe, you will actually be cooler with it on and the hood up than you would be in shorts and a t-shirt! The cheap, floppy, shiny, probably Halloween-costume-aisle-at-department-store...

I can certainly see that! We figure we're going to be doing all of our Disney trips in the cooler months, but I doubt we'll do December twice in our lives. Thanks to you and Pumbas Nakasak and all the other input above, we're about 90% devoted to getting Animal Kingdom and rising. I cannot...

I can see tjkraz's point about money, to a certain extent, but I have to say that FredTom's "buy where you plan to stay the most" seems like a pretty direct "darn good reason" to spend the money. Fortunately, we started out our DVC investigating on the assumption that we would only purchase...

Oh, definitely! I'm not even sure what the current Disney-direct prices are for either resort, honestly; we're keeping our eyes on three or four specific Timeshare Store listings for when we finally have our minds made up. Excellent to know! Thank you kindly. This maes it easier to lean...

Thank you both, these are the sort of opinions I'm asking for. Wherever we stay, we're planning on having groceries in the fridge, as breakfast is an awkward meal for us and two different parental units have eating-related restrictions. We'll save up our off-the-schedule eating for a couple of...

Our Christmas present to each other this year is that we saved up to purchase a DVC membership, and we're just about ready to make our offer. Only one obstacle remains in our way: Which home resort do we pick?! We have narrowed down our final selection to two options. We really like the...

What a horrid bunch of bullies! I am so glad that you didn't let any of them abuse your daughter, and that you and your husband are dropping them out of your lives after this atrocious display on their part. That boy's going to end up in jail, if he lives to his twenties at all, and it will be...

On our first trip to WDW, last October, we stayed in Pop Century and had a wonderful time. By chance we wound up in room 1138, which is a super-good omen for Star Wars nerds like ourselves! Our room was on the ground floor, just one door away from the parking lot, and about as far from the...

Thank you for asking this, I was wondering about it too!

Five is exactly what I tip anywhere, unless housekeeping did a lousy job or I have Witnessed A Bug Indoors. (The price of a loaf of bread down there is still around $3, I think? So five should cover that, a stick of cream cheese, and start on a jar of blackberry jam?) Anybody who scrubs a...

I fourth the people who're advising you to give this guy neither a part of your trip nor an excuse (or trick, like "phone is off") for not taking him up on it. The heart and soul of manners is to not make a scene, so saying "Thank you, no thanks" with a follow-up if he presses of either "I have...

I have a pair of the Sprint ones, bought from a local retailer this past June, and I think I'm going to save up for a pair of the KSO Trek ones sometime between now and the end of the year. Some people have mentioned the length of your toes as a potential problem for a comfy fit. I have...

That's certainly possible! The more I learn, right now, the more I'm not sure what I'm doing. Give me a few days to track down all of our party members and make sure no one has an objection, sir, and then I hope to take you up on that. Is email or PM the best option? Would it be more...
