    "Sneaking" into Magic Kingdom early?

    ALL OF THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE: (With some notes added) they do let you in the park early if you have ADR at one of the resturants. Just be sure to have your reservation number with you (they usually ask for it). We had a 9AM rez at Cinderella's Royal Table and they let us in when we got...

    Camera of choice?

    Gotta tell ya.....mine is a simple Kodak Easy Share and it took EXCELLENT pictures on our trip. Small and lightweight, which I believe is vital in these situations. Unless you're a hobbyist, there's really not much need for the bigger, more expensive ones, in my opinion (And this from someone...

    Poll: Do you take a laptop?

    Guess I'm old school. (Although I am tech savvy) Don't own a laptop, but wouldn't take it if I did. Would worry too much about what happened to it, for one thing. (Airline, hotel room, etc) For another, I really enjoyed doing what we did on our last trip: No e-mail, no radio, no television...

    Potentially dumb stroller question

    Obviously, this assumes decent health by all involved, let's not be silly.:veryconfu It also assumes that a decent parent will be able to deal with a little whining. (We're not talking a 2 year-old here, folks.....) That's why the nice people at Disney put benches and snack carts every 30 feet...

    Animal Kingdom Opening

    We also saw the Minnie/Goofy truck opening on our trip in April. We got there about 8:40 or so, they let people into the park a few minutes later and then bunched us up on the path to Discovery Island. We were very far back and couldn't see or hear much. (Which really was no big deal to us)...

    Potentially dumb stroller question

    Strollers are a scourge across the land and must be stopped!! Seriously, your kids are old enough to walk, even if that means taking rest breaks. Not only will there be one less "battering ram with wheels" in the park, but you will be free of the stroller parking hassles, which I overheard...

    Lost in the park

    Then maybe that's something they shouldn't sell in the parks. I'm sure there are plenty of other little personalized souvenirs that could take its place. It seems a very small concession to make for the overall betterment of the public. No offense to you or your wife intended. But, child...

    Lost in the park

    I actually witnessed this happen in Fantasyland at MK. A little girl was wandering around crying for her Daddy. Just about the time I realized she was, in fact, lost, a mother (not hers) realized the same thing and ran up to her, immediately taking her over to the nearest CM. This person was...

    First time to WDW

    I just took my 5-year-old daughter last month for the first time. Needless to say she loved it. But it is perhaps worth noting that the first time I myself went to Disneyworld was when I was 14 and the next when I was 16. I loved it as a teenage boy and I loved it again as a grown man. For...

    Disney sues city of Anaheim & NY Times makes a BIG Disney blunder!

    The New York Times do research? Don't be ridiculous. They never met a "fact" they couldn't change (or invent) to suit their agenda.

    Can anyone with a digital camera help me?

    I have a Kodak Easy Share digital and had the same problem at first. But all I did was change it to the "landscape" mode rather than the automatic mode. The flash was deactivated and the night pics turned out terrific!

    Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast

    Last month, we saw Belle, Snow White, Jasmine and the Fairy Godmother. As a bonus, when Belle came out, ours was the first table she went to! My daughter was thrilled, especially since she had her Belle dress on! They do vary, but it seems you'll get at least one or two of the "high...

    Has anyone arrived late and used Magical Express

    An excellent idea, even if you DON'T arrive late. On last month's trip, we landed at 3pm and didn't see our luggage until 10pm!! From now on, I'll claim it myself and put it on the bus.

    Another Recent Returnee, With Controversial Opinions

    Thread-drift be damned.... I LOVE PA DUTCH COOKING! I grew up in that area and there's nothing like it! There should be an Amish pavilion in EPCOT!!!! :)

    Another Recent Returnee, With Controversial Opinions

    Don't misunderstand, I partially agree with you. Only one of these you mentioned has any relevance to my point - Stitch's Great Escape. Okay, I see what you're saying. As I also mentioned, if it involving changing the story or scenario, then I'm probably not going to be a big fan of it. And...

    Another Recent Returnee, With Controversial Opinions

    Yes, I agree that PIRATES now has the best of both worlds: It has kept the original theming and feel, but also added a few small enhancements from the film series. The best chance for pleasing "everyone" even though that is (apparently) impossible. The Jack Sparrow animatronics are among the...

    Another Recent Returnee, With Controversial Opinions

    I'm also a recent returnee As you probably noticed by now, you were bound to ruffle some feathers on this board. Par for the course. I, too, just returned recently and we apparently shared some of the same activities, including staying at POR. With the exception of the World's Loudest Air...

    How young is too young ?

    as posted above, in case you missed it: It is only my opinion, which I believe I stated clearly enough. And opinions are what the original poster sought. Other opinions may vary. And bayoutinkerbelle: I agree 100%
