Need some input. We are planning a trip in Sept. from the 3rd to 9th, which is the week of Tom Joyner on the 3rd and 4th and Night of Joy 8th and 9th. Should be wait a week or are crowd levels really not that bad. I have two young kids both under 3, so a stroller is a must, and I don't...

Last Year, we took my 1 yr old son, and though it seems like he slept through just about any attraction we went on, overload..., just have him there with us on our yearly trip was worth it. When we go back and watch the videos we were able to capture some great moments. I will say this, after...

The last two times we were at Disney my wife was pregnant, so doctors orders were lots of water. So our solution was, we brought two gallons of bottled water, we were driving, and found a large thermos that had a nice strap on it. We would fill it up with ice at the hotel and the rest with...

We always drive from Chicago, we leave Saturday Morning around 3:30 AM or so and get there around 10 PM, give or take traffic and or construction. Our onsite Disney stay starts Sunday. You can check in anytime on Sunday but your room is not always ready until 2:00 PM, but you can check in and...

The AKL is a great resort. The decor is outstanding, as soon as you walk in the place just pulls you in to look around. The best part for me is th smell, it has the great sented wood burning smell, mixed with the aroma of the resturants. We have stayed in the savannah rooms and was always fun...

Hmm, if I remember right it is like 1% of purchases. With a max of 750 points. They do have specials where you can get more points per dollar spent. Let put it this way, you are not going to pay for a vacation with it. The AMEX deal was so much better. wired

Oh, and just incase this thread was on how cellphone coverage in the parks is. Cingular - Respectable - most place works well. Verizon Wireless - Pretty good - works most places. Nextel - Good, lets face it, Disney uses it. I have carried these phone the last few times, and overall no...

Yeah, I agree for the most part, there is certainly a time and place. But as with my posts above. Don't always guess that just because I get a call in line or where ever (lets agree that during a show or attraction, cell phones are a no no either way), that it might be important. Even beyond...

Amen to that.....

flashback... wife... yelling... All I said was hello... They would not let me get off the phone.... It was important..... Mommy!!... :eek: As I tell my wife, it is either my cell phone or my security blanket, which one does she want me to take to the parks? :hammer:

Phonecells?

The biggest difference between Six Flags is, at least for me in Chicago, on almost any ride with height you can see the parking lot. At WDW, most rides you cant see the parking lot from with in the parks. ToT, it has been a while, but it faces away from the parking lot, right? That is why the...

Screamscape had this interesting info today: http://www.screamscape.com/html/walt_disney_world_resort.htm This would be cool.... wired

Did you rent the villa from a DVC member or out right book the villa? I understand the Villa is going to be much better then the mod rooms, but at what cost in problems, if there are any? Thanks wired

Not sure if this is in the right place.... But.... Planning a trip this fall and we will need more space and wondering if it would be worth while looking into renting a DVC members points to get a two room villa or just book two rooms in a package. I understand that you have to purchase...

Forget little ones. We stayed at AKL, and I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and the room was dark, half a sleep feeling my way to the end of the bed, walk head first into the TV cabinet. Needless to say, those little green/blue nightlights go with us all the time now...

I guess you really need to put it into perspective. When we stayed there, it was just us two. Once we left the resort, we would hop from park to park. Though we might return once during the day to change for dinner for something. But over all it was great. Now having kids, AKL, might be a...

I have my share of Disney/Mickey stuff around the house. But you have to know when to say when.... :p Check this out... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6607423007 This might be a little over board. wired

Off Topic - But funny. Over the last several years since LaL was put up, five times I was at Disney with a different GF, and they all wanted to get their "memory" of our relationship engraved. So I went along with that. Now I never really told them about the others... So now I am married...

I am sure they have to print that, for legal reasons, incase they one do check for some odd reason, it covers them. Never in 10+ years have I ever been carded. wired
