It seems that the rental car companies want some kind of protectionism. I'm sure that when WDW first appeared on the scene, they drove out a lot of alligator farms and smaller attractions in central Florida. When this happens, people need to move on and find other work rather then crying about...

PO Riverside was the first resort my wife and I stayed at when we took our first WDW excursion '93 (it was called Dixie Landings back then). I hope your family enjoys it as much as we did. All the best.

Well I am a little (a whole lot) obsessive about vacations. I really like planning them and I love the whole escape thing but I've always thought that a cruise could really be relaxing (I've never been on one). Let's face it, getting up at around 6:00 a.m. to make it to the parks at opening time...

Okay I'm just wondering what the opinion of everyone out there is. My family was planning on going to WDW in May of 07. We were going to rent points from a DVC member, stay in a one bd., standard view unit at Boardwalk for 13 nights and take a cruise. Total for the vacation was about $7,000. As...

Welcome to the boards Tracy, I agree with the other posters that you've made some great choices and you won't go wrong with the Port Orleans Resorts or the Wilderness Lodge. One thing that I would add - if you want to grab a quick bite for breakfast, both the Riverside Mill Foodcourt at PO...

Maybe this has already been covered (I don't have time right now to read all the postings) but I wanted to bring up a point that the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland wrote about. Before there was a Disneyland, Walt use to take his two daughters out to the Californeia Piers on Sunday...

There's various reasons why attendance was up - a better economy, new attractions, plus it's a great park. I'm not arguing that the Magic Kingdom isn't a wonderful theme park nor am I saying that it isn't managed exceptionally well. I'm just saying that in the instance of 20,000 leagues, they...

I agree that 20,000 Leagues would be my pick along with Wonders of Life but I made those picks for another reason. While I miss World of Motion and Horizons those two attractions have been replaced with great rides. I also miss Dreamflight and Mr Toad but I like Buzz Lightyear and Winnie the...

As for Toyota's impact on Ford and GM....GM will probably declare bankruptcy this year, and Ford is not far behind, so they haven't learned well or soon enough. That's a good point and a sad one. I really like my Buick.:cry:

I think eventually Disney will probably strike a happy medium. I don't think that prices will remain as high as they are currently but I also don't think that they'll become a cruise line for bottom feeders. I think that as Disney builds more ships, there will be a day when you'll be able to get...

Sure. But Toyota and Honda created the Lexus and Acura lines to appeal to a particular portion of the market place. They're trying to appeal to everyone from Tercel buyers to Lexus 400 purchasers. Cruise companies have merged in an effort to do the same thing. That's why Carnival bought out...

I couldn't agree more. Thankyou!

I think that there's a third option that eventually will happen. DCL will expand. DCL will build more ships and possibly sail to other destinations. When this happens, the supply of cabins will increase and they'll be doing some wheeling and dealing to fill those cabins and prices will come...

That's for 2 adults on a three day cruise leaving on 12/7, 12/14, 1/11, 1/18, or 1/25. All of those dates are outside of the peak season. During peak season a catagory 11 stateroom runs $1,481.90 if you depart 1/4/07, $1561.90 if you leave on 12/21/06 and $2041.90 if you go 12/28/06. Facts are...

Either you've just jumped in without reading all of the postings, or you're as thick as the plexiglass on the Disney ships so I'll state my position once again. I'm not crying over the fact that DCL's prices are high. I'm not asking them to treat the cruise line as if they were running a...

So I guess you don't like going to WDW. At anytime, the park may be filled with horrible "Wal*Mart people" like myself. Yes, we might stay at value resorts or we may get a good deal at a moderate or deluxe resort, but we're out there. We may be standing in line right next to you! You can run but...

So let's assume that DCL is top notch. My basic question isn't why does DCL charge so much. The demand seems to be there. But why doesn't DCL act like any other aggressive company and expand when the demand is so high? What Disney is doing is tantamount to building the Grand Floridian and...

Is that for a 3 or 4 day cruise in September? If it were that cheap we'd be going in a heartbeat.

Now come on. Every year millions of people cruise and the overwhelming majority have a great time. I've read alot of readers reviews at cruisecritic.com and yes, I've come across some negative reviews on all the cruise lines (yes, even Disney). Most of the complaints are about poor service...

Time will tell. I price cruises alot and I've never seen DCL prices so high. It seems to me that they have risen at a much faster rate than any other line. Maybe they can sustain these price increases, maybe not. If they're sailing with empty staterooms, the prices will come down. There's no one...
