    Booked in to PORS but is it getting rundown??

    In my opinion our room was VERY worn out. We have stayed at every single resort on Disney property, and this is the only one we have ever had a problem with. The room was just plain dirty, with mold and dirt in the bathroom tile and bathtub, and peeling wallpaper everywhere. Several lightbulbs...

    Will DCL ever expand?

    The ships you are referring to are very new ships, thus there is a higher demand for them and they are filling to capacity. Also, alot of people like to sail out of Port Canaveral because it is either much more convenient due to driving distance or lower airfares. The newer ships will always...

    Will DCL ever expand?

    I am a travel agent and a cruise specialist, and usually have pretty reliable industry knowlidge. First of all, the cruise industry IS NOT booming. Usually a cruise line puts in an order for up to 6 new ships to debut over the course of the next few years, with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and...

    Favorite Themed Hotel?

    Wilderness Lodge hands down! There is something so special about that place, that you just can't pin it down.We are drawn back to it time and time again. At the end of a LONG day in the parks, it feels all warm and cozy like coming home. But I am also SO glad to see the BWI up in the top...

    We are going to the Boardwalk too in December, and this will be our first visit there and our first experience with an Epcot resort. We are travelling with our 5 year old daughter and will be splitting our stay between the WL(our favorite). We are really excited, but I am a little worried that...

    Which are the best guidebooks fo WDW ?

    I am a travel agent and have been to WDW about 32 times in the last 10 years. I still read guidebooks, because there is always something new to learn. That being said, I think that the Unnoficial Guide is BRILLIANT! In fact, I own unofficial guides to several cities and the ones for the cruise...

    POR-Renovations?

    I think this has been discussed before, but does anyone know how long the renovations at POR will be going on? Also, lately i've read lots of negative comments about the cleanliness and wear and tear of the rooms, like dirty carpets, dirty bathtubs and sinks, broken light fixtures, and general...

    Going to WDW in March...which resort?

    We have also stayed at almost every resort on property, and I would advise you to stay at the Wilderness Lodge, or the POR. The prices for the WL are the cheapest of the deluxe, and if discount codes are available you can reserve a room for the same price as a moderate. I think that this is the...

    Spring Break ?

    I am a home based travel agent who does lots of tours with school groups, one of which was a trip to Disneyworld over spring break. It was so crowded that the MK closed its gates at 10:00am. The wait for a ride was at least 2 hours long. I think that you would be o.k. waiting until after the...

    where to dine first night(nonthemepark)

    We ate at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. I am a VERY adventerous eater, but my food was just not tasty and my husband said that his food wasn't too great either. The last time we ate there was in January. Maybe we are just picky eaters, or maybe it was the entree's that we chose. Plus...

    Mansion vs. Bayou

    Thanks so much for all of your input! I was really apprehensive about staying in a Mansion room, so my gut tells me to stick with the Bayou. Thanks again for all of you help!

    MVMCP with 4 yr. old?

    My daughter is 4 years old and we will be at Disney December 7-14. There are 2 nights we can go, on a Tuesday or Thursday. My question is; is it worth almost a $100 to go if we can only stay until about 10:00? I've never been before but from what I have read people start claiming a place for...

    where to dine first night(nonthemepark)

    We will be arriving on a Sunday afternoon, probably around 3or 4:00. We will check in to the POR for 3 nights before transferring to the Wl for 4 nights, and will have our 4yr. old daughter with us. I'd like to try somewhere we have never eaten before, and any type of restaurant will do becuase...

    Mansion vs. Bayou

    HI! We are splitting our visit; 3 nights at POR then 4 nights at WL. My dillemma is, since the rooms are of a rustic theme at the POR Bayou, and so are the rooms at the WL, will this be too much of a good thing? We have stayed at the POR before, but it was 7 years ago and only for one night. We...

    New Discount Codes

    I'm not sure when the new codes will be available after the holidays, but we usually go the first week of february every year, and the rates are value season then and pretty affordable. I can check and see if there will be any codes issued, but usually they don't have that info this far in advance.

    New Discount Codes

    The reservationist told me that it would be the end of this month, but maybe he was a little confused? He stated that he just learned all of the new codes only to have to replace them with others on the 24th. I hope this is the right info! Maybe they will be better discounts, but I kind of doubt...

    New Discount Codes

    I am a home based travel agent, and this afternoon I was on the phone with Disney's Central Reservations who advised me that on August 24th the discount codes now in effect will be changing. I don't know if that means they will expire or if new ones will be posted at this time. Also I was...

    Which Epcot Resort

    Hi! I have a small dilemma, which Epcot resort to choose. We have been on numerous trips to WDW and stayed at several resorts, but never at an Epcot resort. It will be myself, husband, and 4yr. old. We are going to split up our resort stay with the first 3 nights at the Wilderness Lodge, so the...
