My wife and I went once in late January and once in late September, and out of the two, we much preferred September, primarily because it was surprisingly cold during the January trip. Most of the time there we needed sweaters and jackets during the day. That may have been atypical, but just...

My guess is they partly did it for the convenience of the guests, so that they know where to find them; partly did it to keep the people lining up in more wide open areas rather than in random, unpredictable areas, and partly did it to more easily manage the characters. I don't see the harm in...

Last time I went was 2004, so KH1 was out, and I too was disappointed that there wasn't anything anywhere related to Kingdom Hearts. I wouldn't expect them to do anything in the parks, but I was surprised there wasn't any merchandise - even in DTD, although Japan in the World Showcase would...

I wouldn't worry too much about your lack of attention to breakfast. My wife and I usually just grab something on the fly. We stay at Boardwalk in and just grab some coffee and a bagel and head off to a park. My advice on the Disney nighttime stuff is to view along Mainstreet. I guess it...

I don't know all the really pricey restaurants, but Le Cellier, Wolfgang Pucks, and Spoodles would all qualify as pricey restaurants with decent food that only use one meal credit. But the thing is, some of the restaurants that use two credits are still a good deal on the plan. You could...

In our two trips to WDW, we've eaten at: Flying Fish, Spoodles, Microbrewery (I forget the name), and ESPNZone at Boardwalk Inn Le Cellier and Japanese Sushi lounge at Epcot Brown Derby and Sci-Fi at MGM Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge We LOVED Flying Fish, but it will cost two meal...

The last time my wife and I went to Epcot was 2004, and there was a doubledecker bus with a bunch of the key Disney characters like Mickey, Donald, Goofy, etc. I actually don't remember much about it and whether that was all there was or not. I guess if it was just the bus it wouldn't be a...

Your analysis is actually a good way for people to do it. When I was considering it, I made a point of looking at the menus and looking at a typical dinner for me, rather than adding up what the most expensive meal I could get on the plan was, since the main point of the analysis was to see if...

I think you have the right idea with the pool breaks. My wife and I have been there twice before, and are going again this Thanksgiving, and each time we have usually taken breaks in the early afternoon. We just found we were generally happier, plus we don't have kids yet and wanted to make it...

My wife and I didn't care for it. We found it strange that it was essentially a "rock concert," only with a band we had no interest in seeing, and we didn't find the rollerblading stunts to be all that amazing. That said, I'm skeptical of its replacement. Nemo is one of my all time favorite...

I hope some of the people complaining about ADR's and having to plan ahead realize that having to make ADR's isn't just for people on the meal plan. If you want to eat at one of the good sit down restaurants you pretty much have to make one, or be willing to wait, or be willing to find a second...

^^^And that's actually probably the key. If you aren't going to eat at any of the nicer restaurants, then it definitely is not going to work out to be a deal for you. My wife and I knew we wanted to eat at Flying Fish (2 credits), Spoodles, Le Cellier, and then probably a place downtown like...

I had the same question myself, "What am I missing here? Why wouldn't I want to do this?" And I think the big thing is what type of meals you typically would buy vs. what you're being sold on the plan. If the plan is dictating too much to you, then it's not a good deal for you. It was...

I'd go with #2 just because I think it's the biggest upgrade and they're both great resorts. My wife and I stayed at the Boardwalk two years ago and are going back this Fall. We loved it because of its proximity to Epcot and MGM, as well as the fact that if we didn't feel like hoofing it all...

My main problem whenever I see one of the McDonalds stands is that I'm surprised anyone would eat that over one of the other options. The only time I ever eat McDonalds, which is rare, is when I'm on the road and it's the only option. But if I can have a freshly grilled hamburger over a...

I have to believe the dining plan is probably looked at as a good thing by servers. I don't know what exactly the tipping percentage is that they're given by the plan, but I have to believe getting a guaranteed 15% tip would be preferable to the number of times they probably get screwed by...
