    WDW Wait Times as of 3:40pm EST

    The longest I have ever waited in line is 30 minutes, and that was for toy story. I would never in a million years wait 3 hours for a ride or 1 hour for that matter. I would never call someone an idiot for waiting 3 hours, but I can guarantee you thats what I am thinking in my head.

    Low crowds or Low temps?

    We were there first 2 weeks of Oct. I thought the weather was perfect mid 80's. I live in AZ so my perception of hot might be different. The high today was 60 and I was freezing. I actually had to put on long pants. I live in shorts here. We normally go in May. and I love the weather then also...

    How Far Ahead Do You Book?

    I book when I get a discount. I don't see any advantage to booking at rack rate. You can still make dining reservations without having a room reserved.

    WOW I am NOT a happy camper!!!

    I have never been able to do it 180+10 because I can't pull up my resort reservations online. There web sites stinks, and the cm's know this they won't admit it. Sorry if I have offended and disney fanatics, but they really need to get a functional website like Universal or disney cruise line...

    Record crowds this month?

    We were there the first 2 weeks of October. The parks were more crowded than we have experienced in May, but the deluxe resorts seemed empty. It was our first time at beach club, and I have always read about how crowded the pool is. There was hardly anybody there. I would say only 40% of the...

    Are We Crazy?!?!

    We bought annual passes in May and our spending a total of 32 days at disney from May 2011 to 2012. Crazy? Maybe? I figure I might as well get my most out of the Annual passes.

    Coronado Springs or Port Orleans?

    Another vote for csr. One of the best pools at wdw including the deluxes. Pofq has a pool thats great if your under 3 years old. We are poly lovers, but we usually spend one night of trip at mod. I can't speak on the bus system, but I thought the counter service at csr was better than pofq. Csr...

    The gym and walking path to poly will remain open. This is what I have been told by guest services.

    Why GF is not "popular"?

    The price difference between the poly and the Gf is not that much. My Dh won't stay at the GF. He says he doesn't feel comfortable walking around in a t-shirt, swimtrunks and flip flops there.:shrug:We stay at the poly and walk over to the GF for dinner a few nights. I on the other hand love the...

    Club Level?

    We always stay Cl at Universal and enjoy it, but have yet to try it at Disney. We are normally at disney for 10 days. We rent a car and pick up our own snacks and alcoholic beverages. We have never stayed anywhere but the poly, and we always stay in Samoa which IMO is a better location then the...

    Not impressed with Customer Service

    A room only at disney is the same policy. Isin't it? Where do you travel that you always pay for your room ahead of time. It's normally just a cc guarantee. A disney or Universal package must be paid ahead of time. I don't get why not being able to pay for your room ahead of time would be a...

    Why does Universal do this?

    If you book a package with Disney or Universal you have to pay it off 45 days ahead. A room only at either resort is a 1 night deposit and they you are charged the remaining balance on check in. If its important to you to have your rooms paid for before leaving just book a package.

    Man injured on Dragon Challenge.

    In 2003 a 22 year old was killed on thundermountain in Dl. There was also a man killed when the anchor fell from the ferry. There have been several accidents at disney where people have been injured. The most recent was probably Thunder mountain in Paris.

    Comparing WDW to UO...

    We spend a good amount of time at Universal and disney each trip. IOA is definetely my favorite park. Disney has great rides, but they are spread between 4 parks. If I had to pick a park to visit for one day it would be IOA. There are so many great rides in one place. I also find the Universal...

    Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Refurb?

    Yes dl is like Universal in terms of size of the whole area. As far as mk vs dl. Dl wins hands down. My first impression of the wdw mk was that it looked old and tired, and the quality just wasn't not up to par with Dl. I prefer going to wdw for a better overall vacation. Like you said there is...

    When is it worth the extra buck?

    So not true. The values are like motel 6, and the mods are not better. The grounds and pools are nice, but the rooms do not compare to national chain hotels. I just stayed at a courtyard marriot that had nicer rooms than the poly or akl. I love the disney deluxes, but not for there rooms. I love...

    Just back from 8 days at the Wilderness Lodge

    I always budget in cab money. We normally spend about 150.00 on cabs because we like to eat at the other resorts. We also like adult beverages so driving is not an option. I can't imagine taking the bus system resort to resort.That would probably ruin my vacation. I am glad you had a good time.

    What's the longest you've stayed?

    We were in Orlando 17 nights. 6 were at Universal's hrh, and 11 at the poly. I could have stayed another week I never miss home and work. Next year we are going to try 19 nights. So far I have booked 7 nights at poly, and 7 at bc(although we could end at the poly for 2 weeks because that is the...

    Grand Floridian Spa closing

    Excuse me I'm kind of new to these boards, but last time I checked there was a lot more to wdw than Fantasyland. Sorry if you were offended that my boys are not into snow white and cinderellas castle.

    Grand Floridian Spa closing

    We won't be going to fantasyland. Thankfully my kids have outgrown that, and their boys so we do the mountain rides and the few other rides. I don't. Care for the magic kingdom that much anyway. Its not in same league as dl in my opinion.
