Thank you all so much for the feedback! After much deliberation we have decided to fly. We received a mixed bag of experiences both here and from friends/family. Ultimately my girlfriend was really stressed about the whole situation. To me it would just be another road trip, to her it was a...

Thank you all for your input! It looks like our friends are going to tag along with us for the trip. So we should be able to drive straight through and drive in shifts with no problems. :)

Any recommendations on decently priced, CLEAN accommodations in say SC or GA if we were to stop for a night?

Thank you all for your experiences! I guess I should mention we're leaving from Rhode Island. Estimated time is 18 hours. We're staying for 8 days and I am a seasoned WDW vacationer. So one day mostly sacrificed is not a big deal. Also, our WDW routine involves heading back to the hotel every...

It's time to start putting together a plan of attack for WDW 2014! The big game changer this year is making the decision to drive instead of fly. With the aid of my Prius there is MUCH money to be saved by undertaking such an endeavor. I, however have minimal experience with long road trips. I...

My new favorite vista at WDW...

I usually count on catching a cold by the last two or three days of my WDW vacation. Not fun! This year I loaded up on vitamin c and was just fine though. Hope you fell better!

Lots of good advice in this thread to go by. In the 20 years I've been going to WDW I have never been disappointed. I always find my trips too short and always want to go right back . Think of the "negative" stuff you're reading as constructive criticism. Even the most outspoken of park goers...

I love Fantasia. Fantasmic, total let down. Personally, I do not understand the hype or the hordes waiting to see it. I'll stick to Illuminations. :)

There is always so much fear surrounding new technologies. Especially this sort. It's all very exciting to me personally. I'm on board the OP's wagon. Everything mentioned is within the foreseeable future. The internet alone is already utilizing so much data collection in efforts to personalize...

Staying on site?! I've done lots of research concerning staying off property. I feel like there is not that much to be saved. Especially when you factor in convenience of staying on property. To each his own though. Where do you stay offsite? Just curious. :)

My girlfriend and I spend our daily lives being frugal. So when we go to WDW nothing is off limits. I realize we're all limited by whats in our bank account... but life is short and so are most WDW vacations. Excess spending, be it on food, booze, souvenirs or backstage tours have helped to...

Oh my. I remember said story like it was just yesterday! :D

As random as this sounds... I'd like to see a series of pins featuring Figment on different attractions all across WDW! :)

The pouches contain randomly selected "cast member" or "lanyard" pins as they used to be called. Now they're simply called hidden Mickey pins. These are only available through trading with cast members or purchasing these mystery pouches. IMO the pouches are a great way to obtain traders for...

I'm relaxing in my hotel room on my second to last night here in WDW... and got to thinking about how much cast members have helped to make this vacation a memorable one. So while I'm sure a similar thread exists I thought I'd start one to tell some of my experiences from this last week. And...

100% open as of today. Seems strange to me that with all the construction in the immediate area that the Tea Cups would be refurbished right now.

I started collecting back in '05 after years of proclaiming "I don't get it!" My first pin was a HM/NBC pin... I "got it" the minute I pinned it to my first lanyard. I rarely trade, just purchase what I like. The bulk of my collection are Haunted Mansion, Figment and Epcot pins. Though I do not...

I smell a fifth gate idea for WDW.

I was always amazed with Nara Dreamland and their not so subtle use of Disneyland imagery and attractions. Now it just looks like a great place to explore. We had an amusement park here in Rhode Island called Rocky Point. It closed when I was a teenager, at the height of my interest in "urban...
