I think everyone already nailed it. It's mostly in the theming and park access. Poly is obviously a more exotic setting, that is probably more interesting and exciting for kids, with Boardwalk definitely having more interesting things for adults, in the restaurants, bars, and clubs, and the...

Hankhill, it's not about tax dollars, blah, blah, blah. The school system is responsible for your child's education, and that extends to the home, with homework, etc. Truancy laws gave the school the right to tell you when your kid needs to be in school. If you don't like it, then rip your...

I don't have as much of a problem with people ultimately deciding to take their kids out of school as I do some of the attitudes being exemplified. I pay their salary so they better do what I want? I educate my kids, not the schools? Get over yourself.

Are we sure he wasn't just making sure the rest of the serving staff for your table knew the situation? The serving staff at V&A are some of the most highly trained there is, so I really can't imagine taking such a dig at someone - especially when it's really not that unusual to not have wine...

You don't have to share the same priorities as me, but I'm saying school comes first in my book, period. I wasn't making my statement to personally attack you. This thread is essentially getting everyone's view on the subject. Everyone has their priorities. For me, I would re-jigger things...

And besides the classes missed, once you're in high school there's extracurricular stuff too. Even if I could miss some classes for a family trip, which I really couldn't, you absolutely can't miss sports practice, or band practice, or theatre practice, etc. and expect to get anywhere with it...

Everyone will differ in their opinion I'm sure, but my favorite spot is in the circle near the entrance, near Roy Disney's statue, essentially in a spot with a full view of the castle. I think it's great from a pure visual standpoint, but it also has the advantage of being close to the exit...

Depending on whether you also might hit a waterpark and/or Disney Quest, you can add the "water park and more" option to your park ticket for $50. Depending on the length of your park ticket, you get a set number of credits to use either at a water park, P.I., or Disney Quest. Obviously, it...

I think there's a greater variety in quick service now, which for me is good.

I know when I was in elementary school, the teacher had me do a report on the trip as a way to get something educational about the trip. I think it's ok through probably 6th grade, and then I think it's more important to teach the child responsibility. I mean, if a parent doesn't respect the...

Plus, the portions at V&A are probably correct human-sized portions. Somehow people fool themselves into thinking they need huge portions of food to be "satisfied." Any nutritionist will tell you you only need a meal around the size of your fist for sustinence. The rest is gluttony.

I prefer TL. As other have said, the wave pool is great, and I prefer the variety of slides overall, including C'n'G. BB definitely has more "thrill" slides, but TL has a set of high-speed slides as well. I also like the atmosphere of TL better - natural, tropical environment, rather than...

My wife and I don't have kids yet, but we usually have a general plan of hitting a park in the morning until around 2pm or so, head back to the hotel for pool and relaxation for a couple hours, and then head back out to another park for the evening. That usually works better for us than staying...

Pretty much sums it up for me, with the addition that I love the proximity to Epcot and MGM as well.

For our anniversary, my wife called ahead to the pastry chef at Brown Derby and had them make a replica of our wedding cake top. I don't know what it cost though.

My wife and I are going in November, and our stance right now is, if we find ourselves with time, and we think we're going to have a "waterpark and more" credit free that we're not going to want to use at a waterpark or for P.I. admission, we'll stop in, but if we don't make it, it won't be any...

I'm not totally clear on your question, whether you're asking if there are multiple stops at WL, or whether the bus makes multiple stops on its way to a park. Last time I stayed there was 2002, so things can obviously change, but there is only one stop at the hotel, and I do remember buses...

I'm for anything that could replace the Indy track. I personally don't think it's a great attraction, but it also isn't even the attraction Walt originally wanted. It's been dumbed down over the years due to safety requirements, to the point that it's just really lame. I know people still go...

Yes, but Tigsmom, in the Boardwalk's defense, you did say in another post that by picky you meant that your family doesn't eat fish of any kind, and doesn't like mediterranean food, not that these restaurants are not of a high enough quality. I just want to make sure the OP doesn't skip over...

If you have park-hopper tickets you could pop over to one of the parks in the evenings after the waterparks and watch a fireworks show. We stay at the Boardwalk when we go, and one of the great things about there and the Beach Club is having Epcot right there within walking distance to just pop...
