My best friend and his family have stayed at both....they couldn't make up their minds which one was better....They describe AKL as a really neat African adventure (the kids really enjoyed the animals, and the adults the African motif)....but that the Poly also has it's many Hawaiian virtues...

Here are the attractions open during Extra Magic Hours for MGM Studios: Mornings: Muppet Vision 3-D, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster®, Star Tours, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ Evenings: Includes attractions listed above and The Great Movie Ride, Voyage of The Little Mermaid Here's the...

Thanks Len for the encouragement....Great job on "The Unofficial Guide"!.... Boy what a job you must have as a field researcher and data collector for the book.... Before I found this forum, I never knew such a book or plans/strategies existed.... I definately feel better about the various...

Using both strategies...both DTS and rental car... Well, we booked a rental car for our stay at WDW.....only $292.61 for a mini-van....(what a price!)...It was booked through guest services of Disney, and is with Alamo.....So we are very happy....Pickup is shuttled near our resort....VERY...

EMH - use both strategies.... Good idea, Magic Maker!...There is such a good discussion going on here for both sides of the story....PRO and CON.....Thanks to all for contributing...... What I think we will do is schedule one EMH morning, and one EMH evening, both at the beginning of our...

Thanks for the advice.... As always, everyone is a great help to us ....Thanks ever so much for the help and ideas how to use EMH to enjoy our trip more... Daryl & Connie. & Kids....

We are very excited about going to WDW in August.... Upon the suggestion of some of you, we purchased the Unofficial Guide, and have found it very helpful in our planning....Thanks!....But in selecting which days to go to which parks, it states we should in general avoid parks with Extra...

The Unofficial Guide claims it's numbers are accurate, based on average time waiting for a bus, and arrival right at the door of the destination, and then comparing the same for using a car, average parking distance in the parking lot, arriving at the exact same spot...could some of the...

Our plan - Use DTS AND rental car We've worked out a itinerary with plans of when to use the car, and when to use Disney Transit. Again, thanks for your help. Daryl.

Thanks for the advice!!!... Thanks very much for all your responses...It looks like there are several pros and cons to us renting a car versus relying on the Disney transit system (DTS).....We might end up using both forms of transport, since the cost is ok for us.... After viewing your...

Do you agree? This is our first time to WDW....We are traveling from Canada..... We'll either have to rent a car, or rely on the Monorail/bus/boat system......What have you found with the Disney Transit System (DTS)...If you are staying in a resort, do you use your own car to get around...

Looks like I should of called you first, Marie....Yes, we slimmed down the itinerary a bit....things we cut: 1. DTD 2. Full sit-down lunches (only reserved dinners) 3. Reduced the time at parks - leave a bit earlier (we now average 5-6 hours real ride time per day) - more free time...

From our planning, DL seems to be so similar to WDW MK, it's scary.....But of course WDW has so much more!....It's just similar enough though that we feel right at home planning our MK 'strategy'... At DL, we've ridden Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mtn Railroad...

Thanks for the dictionary of terms!

For us near the west coast, Toronto seems like the other side of the world! We never get down much...that's why we've been to DisneyLand many times, but not WDW....perhaps after this trip, and the revised plan everyone had a hand in helping us with, we will return many times....

This sounds like a very good approach....if I had done this type of planning right off, we would have probably reversed our resorts around...(right now, we have the Polynesian resort for the beginning of the week, and the AK resort for the end of the week)...It have been better EMH planning to...

Couldn't find any direct comparison reviews.... Hmmm.., the Floridian or the Saratoga?....What a good problem to have!...I've heard good things about both!....The Saratoga is newer, ....styled with a horse theme and the late 1800's feel (New York Country retreats).... I too want to surprise...

Very good price!...No, I already tried...Flights are booked and hard to coordinate from CAlgary....No direct flights either from Calgary to Orlando that I could find....so a 4 hour flight to Toronto...lay over for 4 hours waiting for our connector...then under a 3 hour flight to Orlando...Have...

This is so smart...if I could go back in time and give myself some planning advice before I booked my flight, I would advise to arrive a day ealier and check in to an offsite place like this ....That way we could of taken advantage of an extra day in the parks.... As it is now, we arrive...

GF...The grande Floridian! BTW, I also think an afternoon tea at GF is an excellent idea...it is so close to MK, and is perfect to stop in....it's probably a 10 min. ride on the boat from MK? or less?...I have a surprise for Connie to get a spa treatment there as a mid-day break....
