    Am I cutting it too close?

    Arriving on 7/2, I think the lines at DME will be rather long, not to mention crowds at MCO. The Disney folks do a good job of moving things along, but we've had some 15-20 minute waits at times. Personally, I 'd feel more comfortable moving the ADR back if possible. There are just too many...

    Getting from Magic Kingdom to Grand Floridian/1900 Fare

    You have 2 good transportation options with no transfers required. I agree 30 minutes should work unless it is very crowded.

    Favorite limo or towncar service?

    We've used Tiffany with no issues.

    Taxi from Resort to Resort

    I understand Mears taxis do accept credit cards. You can check their website for an idea of the rates charged. They have an app too.

    Allocating Time?

    90, but it has not usually been that long. I always tack on some extra time just in case. If I gain some time, it's gravy. :D

    100 degree days at Disney World.. avoid parks mid day?

    I would echo the advice to listen to your instincts. I've been traveling to Disney in the summer months for many years. Yet last year I was very uncomfortable at one point and went into an air-conditioned area to cool off. You can do everything right, but still get caught off-guard. When you...

    Shuttle bus or rental car?

    It can be a tedious process traveling from resort to resort using Disney transportation. I am a patient person, but it can be painfully slow. :arghh:. And if you miss a connection.....well, it's pretty frustrating. And missing an ADR is now a costly proposition. I would say Disney...

    Best Building at OKW?

    Over the years we've stayed in many different buildings at OKW (members since 1992 & OKW is our home resort). #14 is right next to the entry driveway and bus traffic can be noisy, although I've never thought it was too bad. I agree with the advice to go to the Peninsular Road bus stop to...

    OKW to Chef Mickeys early ADR

    I have heard that buses start running at 6:30, but I can't confirm that for sure. Since missing an ADR has become an expensive proposition, I would double-check with the concierge desk the day before. They would be aware of all the alternatives available to you. I have heard of cases where...

    Direct to Room Check In

    This is a perk I am looking forward to. I am hoping most kinks are worked out before our next trip in August.

    Wilderness Forest Campground in June or July

    I would plan on taking the AC. Both months are quite warm and humid. I think you'd be much more comfortable.

    June rain

    June is very rainy. We have traveled to WDW in every month over the years and June has always proved to be quite a soaker.

    Last two weeks of May

    I'm an Accu-Weather fan too, but 3-4 days is as accurate as it gets IMO. Take with a grain of salt. Also keep in mind that thunderstorms do not necessarily mean all-day rain. Our experience has been mid-day storms that pass over within an hour or two. So tote a poncho and keep going...

    MDE and late arrivals

    I am pretty sure that luggage delivery ends at 10:00 pm, so retrieving your own bags and taking them on the motorcoach is your safest bet. We have had luggage delivered close to midnight in the past. Not the greatest situation when you're getting kids ready for bed and hoping to turn in...

    Magical Express Drop Off Sequence

    We luck out when staying at OKW because it has almost always been the shuttle's first stop. On the way back to the airport, we appear to be the 3rd stop after POR and POFQ (speculating here because they are "next door") and SSR has always been the last stop. When we've stayed at BLT, if...

    Free Dining

    In the past we've stayed in a few resorts that weren't my cup of tea and All Star Sports was one of them. It was only for 2 nights. But the kids and their cousins loved it. The reality check for me was it's Disney after all. :joyfull:. Have a great time!

    Taxi from Resort to Resort

    Disney transportation is great, but really not the greatest option from some resorts to others, especially from one end of the property to another. It requires intermediate connections and a bit of luck with regard to timing. Budget plenty of time, especially during busy periods. It has taken...

    OKW Question?

    The 2-bedroom units are very large and comfortable - enjoy!

    What do I need to know about club level at the CR

    Our experience was a few years back, but generally this was our experience: 7:00-10:00 am or so - Continental breakfast - cereals, fruits, breads, pastry; 11:00-4:00 - snacks like crackers, cookies, soda; 5:00-7:00 - cheese tray, vegetables w/ dips, hot appetizers, beer and wine; 8:00-10:00 -...

    Anyone know what parashables are sold in Disney Hotel shops??

    The resort stores have a little of everything -- bread, bagels, milk, eggs, packaged cold cuts and cheese, frozen pizza, peanut butter, cereals, cookies, snack food, ice cream (Mickey Bars), soda, beer. You won't find a lot of variety - for instance, you may want Oreos and they only have Fig...
