    Arrival Day at your Resort.....

    We usually arrive at about 2 PM. We check in and go to our room and unpack. I like to get the room looking like home and ready for a late return from the park. All of the toiletries and clothes are unpacked and in their place so when we come home, our room is all ready to get ready for bed...

    POLY with a 2 year old...

    There is nothing quite as comforting as getting off the monorail after a day at The MK or Epcot, and being home....no long walk to the room....just a walk off the monorail. The convenience cannot be overstated. I loved staying at both the Poly and The CR with small children. Enjoy your stay...

    Going from Moderate to Deluxe... The trip of my dreams! Help!

    The grounds at The WL are lovely and lend themselves very nicely to long walks, especially at dusk. But....beware of the bugs. The buses are a short walk out the door and to the left. They are as punctual as busses at any other resort. The boats are a lovely walk down a path to the left of...

    Your Opinion Needed

    Try Vionic with Orthaheel Technology Tide II. I bought mine at www.zappos.com. I know they are a bit pricy, but I wear them all summer and they have enough support to wear them in the parks. :cat:

    Bread cones

    Since I hate to see a post go unanswered, I looked up the Hollywood Hill Theater menu on www.allears.net and there is a listing for Macaroni and Cheese Bread Cone and Fiesta Chili Cheese Bread Cone. I am not familiar with the place or the food but that is what I found. You can find the menus...

    Drive to Disney from NY

    Don't be concerned about the airlines and your fiance's wedding gown. Just call ahead...like now....and ask them what their policy is. My daughter was married in Hawaii 4 years ago and the airline took took her wedding gown and hung it in the first class vertical storage.It was safe and sound...

    Fun Ways You Save for Disney

    I have a Piggy Bank in the bathroom and instead of my husband throwing his change on the counter, he puts it in the Piggy. I empty it into a larger jar so that he is not tempted to use it. We also have Premier Disney Visa Card and pay most of our bills and groceries etc with it and then pay it...

    Which parks for little girls?

    @Carijo ....if you choose to take your almost 2 year old to any of the stage shows in the AK, try to sit near an exit. There are moments of darkness, loud special effects especially in The Lion King Show which by the way is wonderful. My granddaughter was unable to wait for the beginning of...

    Which parks for little girls?

    We just returned from Disney with my granddaughter.....20 months during the trip. We spent 1 day in Epcot, 2 in The AK and 3 in The MK. She loved, loved, loved all the characters like Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Chip and Dale and even Rafiki. She was not thrilled with any "human" characters like...

    Traveling for two: Do's & Don'ts

    My husband and I have been to Disney 2X since our kids have grown and married. Not a honeymoon but planning for 2 just the same. We usually stay at a deluxe just because we can and we love the convenience. Our favorite is The CR so we are able to easily access the GF and it's wonderful...

    Chef Mickey's - late breakfast question

    We had late breakfast reservations at 1900 Park Fare and we were not rushed at all. The food was plentiful and fresh and the characters spent more than enough time with my granddaughter. Disney knows how to do it right..no need to worry about the time. Enjoy your Mickey Waffles.....:cat:

    To Park Hop or not to Park Hop?

    We just returned from a trip with my 20 month old granddaughter. We did 3 days at the MK, 1 at Epcot and 2 at The AK. We did not do HS for obvious reasons. We stayed off site so if you are staying on site plans may not apply. Don't underestimate the AK for very young children. My...

    Breakfast: Which Cafe? Kona Cafe or Whispering Canyon Cafe

    @Tuvalu is correct....there is no boat from the GF to The WL. In order to get to the Spa at The GF, I took a boat from The WL to The CR and then the monorail to The GF. I stand corrected about the boat stops in my previous post....The MK boat is direct while the smaller boat stops at Fort...

    Magic Express - how long does it take to get to the resort

    In a word....Yes.....your expectations are too way....way...too high and No....you will not get to your hotel an hour after landing. MCO is a huge airport. Once you deplane, you need to walk to DME and wait for your bus. The busses need to be loaded with luggage because some people do those...

    Breakfast: Which Cafe? Kona Cafe or Whispering Canyon Cafe

    @JohnD .....you can take a boat directly from The WL to The CR. When you go to the boat ramp, the boat on your left as you walk down will take you to the MK (via Fort Wilderness I think) and the boat on your right as you walk down the ramp will take you to The CR. Then from The CR.....you can...

    Breakfast: Which Cafe? Kona Cafe or Whispering Canyon Cafe

    Don't forget about The Grand Floridian Cafe. My preference would be 1. Grand Floridian Cafe 2. Kona Cafe and a distant 3rd.......Whispering Canyons. Whispering Canyons is just not my cup of tea. The Grand Floridian Cafe would give you the opportunity to enjoy the GF decorated for Christmas...

    Is Fastpass+ necessary for Animal Kingdom?

    We were at The AK last week on 11/9 and 11/14.....it was very crowded both day. We had FP's for Safari for both days and there were long waits for the stand-by line both day....60 minutes. We do not do Everest so I cannot speak to that ride. We saw animals up close both days....the giraffes...

    What would you do -- travel with an 18 month old??

    We just came home from Disneyworld on Saturday. We went with my daughter, son in law and 20 month old granddaughter. I was not sure about the trip since she has never seen television so the characters would be new and maybe a bit scary. She absolutely loved them!!!!!! She apparently thought...

    Do you think an Adult only resort will ever happen?

    I just returned from Disney and I must admit that the only "bad" behaviors I witnessed was on the part of the adults. I saw adults who pushed their kids to the limit in an attempt to provide what they thought is the perfect vacation for them. Kids as old as 10 being pushed in strollers so that...
