    Problems im Tomorrowland on 8-20-05

    Lighting Strike We saw a HUGE strike from our cabin in Fort Wilderness. Did not make me feel good having to venture out to make our PS at The Trails End with the lightning and the trees all around. The rain was coming in sideways and an umbrella was pretty useless and no I didn't have a...

    Any good counter service restuarants in MGM?

    I have had some very good dining experiences at the ABC commissary. Last time I was at the Studios, in May, while waiting for Lights, Motors, Action we ate at a counter service place that was serving mediterranean food. It was very good. I am going to make it point to get back there again...

    Transportation Questions

    Drive?? That's no fun. For a more scenic route to Trail's End, take the bus from CBR to the Magic Kingdom and from there take a boat across Bay Lake to Fort Wildewrness. This will also keep you from ending up on the wrong side of Fort Wilderness and having to take the internal Fort...

    Ft. Wilderness?

    We stay at the Cabins once a year when we do our whole family trip. The cabins are very comfortable. There is a large bed and bunk beds in the main room and a murphy bed in the living room. All the cabins come with a fully equipped kitchen, including all dishes toaster and coffee maker, and...

    Crowds on New Year's Day

    I have not been there since 2000, but I remeber it is one of the most crowded days of the year. Also, wherever you are going to be stake out a spot early for the fireworks at midnight. One thing I do remember, after the fireworks the Magic Kingdom stays open until 2 AM, and there are vey...

    Where to eat for a break from the MK?

    Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge sounds like what you want. It is a quick boat ride from the Magic Kingdom. It's a fun place to eat and the food is not too exotic, yet still delicious. You should be able to get PS at that time without a problem. Check at City Hall in the morning to make...

    Sold Out Dates for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties

    We have out tickets for next Sunday. Can't wait. I am happy to hear that it's sold out for Halloween, though. This is a great alternative event to the madness that takes place at Halloween Horror Nights. I hope they keep it going for many years, or until my kids are grown up. :animwink:

    New park at WDW?

    I would not open a park until all the current parks are brought to completion. Animal Kingdom is still half a park, at best (a fun half though), and Epcot needs more updating. With that said, I have heard so many great things about it, I would like to see a version of Tokyo's Disney Sea...

    Fort Wilderness Refillable Mug?

    When I stayed there last March there were no refillable mugs for Ft. Wilderness. I can't picture how it would work either because Ft. Wilderness is so big it really would not be as convenient as it is at say All Star. That, plus Ft. Wilderness does not have a food court area with a drink...

    Question about Disney in January

    January will feel great for you. Daytime tempratures will be in the 60's and 70's, but the nighttime might be a bit cold. The seasonal attractions will likely be closed in January, they usually are when I go. And I know that at least one of the waterparks, I think Typhoon Lagoon, goes...

    Petty Driving

    That is so cool. Congratulations. Guest Relations at the Poly should be able to point you in the right direction. But I think there is a shuttle available from somewhere in the TTC and I am sure there is no additional cost. Have fun.

    october 14-19 trip questions?

    I have only stayed at the DTD Hotels once, and that was enough for me. If you are looking for magic in your hotel, those are not the places to go. There is no real themeing, they are just hotels, nice hotels, but just hotels. I have been keeping an eye on the rehabs, and it looks like the...

    1st trip to disney

    That is a great age. My Daughter is now 3 years old, he first trip was at 9 months (probably too young for her, but we enjoyed it and have some great pictures of her with characters). We have gone to WDW withher at least 4 times since then. The one thing we learned early on is to take a...

    Breakfast Opinions Needed

    We stay at Fort Wilderness Cabins quite a bit and Trail's End is one of our regular places. I really like it for dinner, it's one of the best values at WDW and the service has always been excellent and the food is good too. It is mostly good old country comfort food, fried chicken and the...

    Breakfast Opinions Needed

    Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary is absolutely worth it. The food is very good and the atmosphere is fun for all ages in your party. We have also heard good reviwes of the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Norway in Epcot, and since DD is a Princesses fan we are trying that one on our next...

    Anyone ever been in November?

    I have been several times in November and it is a great time of year to go. Low crowds and noce weather. I would avoid Thanksgiving week, as that is a very crowded week.

    Every Hotel

    Great plan. I thought I was the only lunatic who did this. We got pins at each hotel (except Swan and Dolphin). We were staying at CBR, so here is what we did: Bus to MK, Monorail to GF, then to Poly, then to Contemporary. Boat to Wilderness Lodge and boat to Ft. Wilderness. Bus from...
