    Southwest just jacked their fares up BIG TIME!

    We actually had an article in the paper today about the price of gas going up. They expect it to continue to go up because the dollar is weak. Back on topic, I always buy my tickets on Southwest when they're released and then watch the prices. This time, the price I bought going down was...

    When characters visit the resorts...

    During the holiday season the deluxe resorts (not sure about the others) have character visits. They're dressed in holiday attire. Each year it's for fewer days, closer to xmas. Just another instance of getting less than you used to. They used to have a storyteller at the YC too, but that...

    In Room DVD Players at the YC?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if there are DVD players in the rooms at the YC now? When we stayed last December we had one. I just called the front desk and they didn't really know. It's not listed as an amenity. So was this a happy accident? Thanks!

    The Potter Affect......

    My brother just got back from DW and opted to spend a day at Uni to see HP. He said it was amazing. The rest of the park is pretty much the same as it had been but if you're a HP fan it's great. I talked to another person who went to see it without being a fan and the experience was kind of...

    Shortest trip to DW?

    My family went for 1 day (we took the last flight out on friday night and were on the first flight out on Sunday morning). We went just to see the castle decorated as a cake. It was gross, but at least I can say I saw it in person. It was DH's first time ever to DW. He got to go on the...

    When do you pack?

    We have 43 days to go and I want to start at least gathering the warmer clothes together. Like others have said, the cats totally freak when the suitcases come out. Usually I take them out 2 days before with the hope that I'll be done ahead of time. Inevitably I'm up til 1am or so the night...

    Is Southwest part of DME?

    We'll be flying Southwest in December and staying at the YC. Can you check your bags at the hotel and then check another bag in at the airport? We usually head downtown our last day for some last minute shopping, it'd be great to not have ALL the luggage with us, but keep one to cram that last...

    WDW With an Infant

    We took both of ours kids at 9 months and they both loved it. On my oldest's first day we had just gotten hard cider from England when the big red bus full of characters arrived at the entance to WS. We tore down there, sloshing cider all the way and got great pics with the characters. After...

    need ideas for a scavenger hunt type thing!!!

    If you wanted too add extra/bonus items that could be completed at other times: AK is the only place to get a picture w/ Jiminy Cricket. You could take an hour at each park and split up to try to get the bonuses (this way it wouldn't have to happen all in one day)... Now I'm thinking...

    Looks like AllStars and POR got Pop Warner this year

    Thank you for this info!!!! We'll be there the 4th-14th, now I know for certain to stay away from DHS on the 8th. To the OP, we've been going this same time the last 5 years and for the most part we haven't had a problem. But we don't stay near them either. I think we had one annoying...

    La Hacienda. My point of view and an Illuminating conversation with Richard Debler

    Thanks! We're really excited for our December reservation! I wonder if Disney would consider dropping some restaurants from DDP so that they could improve their menus. You would think that having a mix would ultimately be more profitable. If the margins are so tight maybe they'll can the...

    Castaway Cay Bypassed on Recent Cruise

    We did the DCL for our honeymoon in '98. The crew actually managed to avoid 2-3 major storms/ hurricanes. We were completely clueless. They flip flopped our CC w/ the day at sea and we had amazing weather. We didn't know how bad it was til we came into port. Our families were really worried...

    Breakfast question!

    I pack crushable snacks in a disposable plastic container (ziploc/Chinese food). It can bring back crushable souvenirs or just be recycled if we don't need it.

    Does La Hacienda accept Tables in Wonderland?

    We just booked a reservation for Fri 12/10 and the latest I could get is 7:45. Will be interesting to see what the Illuminations situation is from inside. Although the menu is expensive we're really excited to try it. We'll definitely be ordering Queso Fundido! and maybe a coffee margarita....

    Contemporary Restaurant?

    We always used to eat in the Pueblo Room. I t was great getting a window seat, watching the sun go down. We also used to love the Village Restaurant. They had a great Patty Melt.

    First aid, medical, hospitals...

    When my son was two(?) he came down with croup in the middle of the night. I swear he stopped breathing for a second and I panicked. The shower steam wasn't happening fast enough so we called the front desk (YC). They called the paramedics and they were there in under 10 minutes. Fine tuned...
