    Sheriff at Animal Kingdom Lodge

    Some people don't realize that while they can see out of a window, others can see IN. I used to work in Times Square, and the buidling across the street was a well known hotel. Once I was having a staff meeting (my back was to the window) and one of my workers' eyes got huge and her jaw...

    Disney Has Your Free Planned Trip Waiting!

    I think I would pick the week after Thanksgiving - close enough to my birthday, and close enough to Christmas so I can see the decorations, but not too close where I miss out on the Christmas magic at my house [yea, I'm that guy]. As for resort, so, so, so tough. I love them all, but where...

    Need Help Planning

    OK, fellow WDWMagicers, I am in need of some advice. I am heading to WDW on the 27th and am staying at BWV. A friend of mine who has never been to WDW is meeting me at the Orlando airport (our flights arrive within 15 mins of each other if they stay on schedule!) Anyway, he has given me a...

    Surprise Feb trip animal kingdom

    When I was a full time teacher, that would be around the time I would go - arrive the Friday before President's Day and stay for the week. I have had fantastic weather....and I have had weather that required I wear my leather jacket the entire trip. It really is the luck of mother nature...

    When is it too early to celebrate

    Nah, it will be fun! Tell your daughter that Mickey wants to celebrate with her and as some Disney magic they are going to fast forward a month.... Every time I go with a bunch of friends, we pick the person who's birthday is closest to the time and we 'celebrate' the whole trip. Before...

    David's Disney Vacation Club Rentals

    I listed my points with David's Rentals a week ago....this afternoon was sitting at the computer and received an email that they had a buyer for all 300 of my points. They forwarded the information, I called DVC and booked the reservation.... It was the easiest transaction I ever completed...

    Have a BOG Reservation 9/30 - Anyone Want It?

    Hi, all - I had to redo my entire vacation as there was a tragedy with my travel buddies and am now going pretty much solo. Anyway, I gave up most of my reservations, however, I kept my Be Our Guest reservation in case someone here wanted to take it. The details are: Wednesday...

    Your Favourite Meal Of The Day..

    It's strange, but my food routine changes totally while at Disney. At home, I brew a big pot of tea and usually have a decent breakfast - if it is a work day it can be a yogurt and muffin or oatmeal and on Sundays the dogs and I enjoy a big batch of bacon and eggs....but when I get to Disney it...

    Favorite "American Adventure" audio animatronics diorama

    I agree - the show is amazing and I never tire of it. But there is something about the Civil War segment for me and the song that accompanies it...

    What The Heck Was That!?

    Went last year - it was nice, enjoyed it... Never been to a 'real' French restaurant (when I was in France, it was Cannes and we ate at mostly seafood and beachside restaurants) but I imagine that the restaurant has been Disneyfied so that it can appeal to the greatest number of people. It is...

    Where would you live?

    I remember the first time I walked into a one BR at Old Key West with a view of the river..... I knew it was home. I immediately thought, 'If it were Christmas, that's where I would put the tree...." and thought about having some flowers out on the patio/deck..... So, I guess for me, I would...

    "Welcome home."

    I love hearing those words when I check in. I am a DVC member, but usually go to different resorts to try something different. I have friends who are DVC and go about the same time 1 - 3 times a year. They not only get the 'Welcome Home' but often the same CM remember them and ask specific...

    Renting points vs booking

    It depends on the resort - say AKL vs. OKW....type of room, etc. If you want to go over more specifics, drop me a private message and we can discuss....

    Renting points vs booking

    I am a DVC owner and just asked David's to rent out my 300 points. I did it once myself, but feel he can take care of it quicker and with less issues than I can. As I understand it, when David finds you a reservation and books it, the person booking will receive a confirmation number just as...
