    ? for EyeGlasses Wearers

    I wear contacts, but I had a strap for my sunglasses and never had a problem. I didn't ride RnRC or TOT, but I did ride BTM and SM. If all else fails, wear cargo shorts....they have tons of pockets. Hold Tight!

    Thankyou to the US goverment- "I am going to Disney World"

    The passport SNAFU was primarily a function of many people waiting until the last minute to apply and thinking they could get one on 2-3 weeks. In the bast of times, it takes 6-8 weeks and they tell you that. I applied in November, two months before the deadline and had no trouble getting mine...

    Thankyou to the US goverment- "I am going to Disney World"

    BRAVO! Exactly what I was thinking! This is OUR money to start with, and the fact that they are giving it back just proves they've taken too much in the first place! And I just LOVE that we are giving tax rebates to people who don't PAY taxes! Talk about "new math"! Anyway, having said all...

    Questions Regarding POR.

    My experience in April 07 was completely positive! (Okay, yes the air conditoner was noisy, but we worked around it.) The biggest compliment I can give is to say that YES, we would stay there again in an instant! Beware of reviews on travel sites, Disney sites or wherever. It's my experience...

    A bit Overwhelmed!

    I completely know what you mean! I'm a compulsive planner myself. Last year, we went on our first trip as a family. (My daughter's first time and my wife and I hadn't been for decades) We bought the Unofficial Guide and devoured it. We also--and this is very important--sought the advice and...

    Body Wars reopening on official Disney site?

    Amen!! Well said!! Personally, I don't much care either way if it's open. But if something is on an official Disney website (especially for such a long time), it would be reasonable to assume it's correct. And if it's NOT correct, then that is Disney's fault. They are a huge company and I...

    How young is too young???

    I couldn't have said it better myself....I know many folks will say otherwise, but my advice is: unless you live close enough to go frequently, save your money for a time when he will actually care--AND REMEMBER!!! (And yes, I am a parent, and yes, I did wait to take my child)

    Cameras & water parks.

    Boy, amen to that one! I certainly don't agree that cameras should be banned, but GEEZ, some of the so-called swimming suits I've seen even young kids wear!! They hardly cover anything and they are supposed to be "cute"! Well, it ain't cute on little kids and as much as I enjoy looking at the...

    Buses at POR

    Whether they share or not, you won't have any trouble. We were there during late April last year and stayed at POR. Everything was like clockwork! Have fun!

    What is April like?

    This should be an excellent time to go. We went that exact week last year and it was terrific, weather-wise and crowd-wise. Nice and toasty, but not oppressive. It was two weeks after Easter and several weeks before the Memorial Day crowds picked up, so it was VERY managable. We also...

    Now...I am a little nervous....

    NO ONE hates bad weather more than I do, but DON'T WORRY!! Weather Guessers are notoriously unreliable! it might rain, it might not. But the fact that they SAY it's going to rain should make you happy because they are wrong more often than not. In 2005, I was in the same boat. We were going...

    People Angry Over Disney Dinning Plan

    We used the DDP in April 2007 and probably came out a bit ahead, so that was fine and the convenience was great. But with the changes (without proper adjustment of cost), we won't be using it in the future. Better (for us) to just order what we want and tip accordiongly.

    Do you miss the Wand?

    YES, I DO miss it (witness my icon.) Like many who've posted, it was there on my first trip to EPCOT with my daughter, who thought Mickey's Hand was so cool! So, it has a soft place in my heart and always will. As for being in the minority by missing the wand, I doubt that. On THIS board, we...

    What is a good age to start dressing up for CRT?

    My 5-year old daughter dressed up as Belle and loved it! But there were plenty of girls who didn't dress up, so I don't think it will matter either way. However, take a change of clothes for the rest of the day, though. We attended the Princess Breakfast and then changed her into street clothes...

    How actually likes the carpet ride more than Dumbo?

    Absolutely!! Same basic ride as Dumbo, but with a little more "pizzazz". Triceratop Spin, same deal. I was willing to ride Dumbo, but we skipped it because of the ridiculous line (at 9:20am) and figured we'd come back. But after we rode Aladdin, my daughter said she didn't care about Dumbo...

    Spaceship Earth - my opinions of the refurb - very very dissapointing

    Ummm.....at the risk of starting firestorm of flaming...... Am I the only one (besides my wife) who thinks this ride was kind of boring in the first place? Not terrible, but just okay. My six-year-old liked it and that's great--we'll ride it next trip, I'm sure. Just didn't "wow" me.

    Woman Tried To Bring Loaded Gun, Knife Into Disney's Magic Kingdom

    The following is not a comment on the right to carry a concealed weapon or the right to bear arms, both of which are better debated elsewhere. However, not for ONE MOMENT do I believe this woman "forgot" she had a gun in her purse. You might forget you have lipstick or a tissue or that house...

    Some Burning Questions

    ...as opposed to the 'Fairy vs. Pixie" argument, which is perfectly lovely and reasonable, right? :lookaroun By the way, there is a series of Disney Fairy books describing Tinkerbell and all her friends. I know this because I read them to my daughter. 1) Tinkerbell is quite clearly described...

    has anyone ever had really incorrect dreams about the world?

    Incorrect Dreams? Oh yes......why just the other day I dreamed that they changed something in one of the parks and no one complained about it. :lookaroun
