    How Long and How Long

    Spent a day at KSC and a couple of hours at Cocoa Beach and Ron Jon Surf Shop last trip in March 2011 and loved it! Hope to head back for a bit longer next trip ourselves. I could see spending 2 1/2 days there easily!!

    Downtown Disney rumor

    Looks cool, but I'll believe it when I see it!

    Getting To Know Your Resort!

    We drive down from Canada and split the drive down into two days, usually arriving at Pop around 1pm on the Saturday of our Spring Break. After checking in, we usually head to our room for a bit to check it out and put our stuff away. Even though we have stayed at Pop (and only Pop) for all four...

    Deposit for Booking A Trip

    I'm pretty sure it is something like $200 down (on a Magic Your Way package booking) and then the rest 45 days before your arrival, or one room night's rate plus tax for a room only reservation and then the balance due at check in. Either way, I think you have to put the money down 7-14 days...

    Driving to the parks instead of using the Disney Bus?

    We love taking advantage of the Disney buses while staying at Pop Century during our vacations. We drive down from Canada (18+ hour drive) so really look forward to letting somebody else do the driving for us while we are at WDW for those 10 days. We venture off-property a few times each trip to...

    Something my son said...

    My teenage son was miserable during our last trip back in 2011 and it seemed like he would have rather been back at home the whole time we were down there. He made it unpleasant for the rest of us most of the trip. I figured maybe he had outgrown it or something, as he was 14/15 at the time...

    Your Favourite Walk About Snack At WDW.

    My all-time favourite would have to be the Dole Whip float (sadly, only discovered it on our third trip after reading about it on here all the time), with the Premium Mickey Bar following closely behind. Don't know if these are still available, but my wife LOVES the chocolate covered bananas...

    Your Planning advice to First Timers.

    In response to what Trotsky posted earlier, we are not the ADR type and yet have still managed to eat more than just hot dogs while down there. Actually, we have only made 1 ADR in four trips (37 total days spent at WDW between 4 trips) and it was probably the biggest hassle and worst meal we...

    Your Planning advice to First Timers.

    TOTALLY agree with your statement here, WDW 3! :)

    Your Planning advice to First Timers.

    Yes to the first, no to the second. Like I said, nothing wrong with planning. Have nothing against it, myself. Just wanted people to know that there are some (okay, at the least, me) that can still have successful trips without having to plan every last detail of their trip. I totally...

    Your Planning advice to First Timers.

    I know I am always in the minority on this one (chimed in on another similar discussion a couple of days ago on here), but we do very little planning when going to WDW and we've been fortunate enough to have 4 GREAT trips, going back to our very first one in 2005. Now I know you are specifically...

    Did I Screw Up?

    In no way should you even think that you screwed up. All you did was share your insight with somebody about something you love and have experienced in hopes of helping them have a good trip. At the end of the day, the choice rests solely on them and hopefully they can use the info you provided...

    Most popular photo spot

    Probably the castle, followed very closely by Spaceship Earth. After that, we usually tend to get quite a few while shopping at DTD and also at a lot of the entrances of the attractions (POTC, HM, etc)

    Whats your favorite thing to do outside the parks (but still in the world)

    -Grab an ice cream at Ghirardelli's on a warm, March evening (knowing that it is probably cold and snowy back home) and people watch while enjoying said ice cream -Do some serious shopping/window shopping in Downtown Disney -Spend the day relaxing at Typhoon Lagoon, enjoying the lazy river, wave...

    Avoiding crowds

    Have only experienced WDW during our Spring Break (middle of March up here in Canada) since we have kids and although we love heading down there this time of the year to escape from the snow and winter for a couple of weeks, we are thinking it would be nice to visit when it is not INSANELY...
