    What item do you get on every trip to bring home?

    Always a Mickey Milk Chocolate Bar plus a key ring and photo album. However, there is always the unexpected gifts we didn't plan for but couldn't resist (bags, ornaments, mugs, cuddly toys etc etc)!

    Favorite Disney World Souvenir

    It would have to be: 1) Mickey & Minnie Breakfast Bowls 2) Ornament of M & M sitting on a wooden bench with Pluto behind them (this takes pride of place on my fireplace)

    Driving to the parks instead of using the Disney Bus?

    I have to agree with all of the above. Although it's nice to use the Buses because you feel you are really participating in the full Disney experience it can be soul destroying when the you leave the parks at night suffering from tiredness and exhaustion only to be greetd by massive bus queue...

    Am I being irrational?

    Completely understand and sympathise! I have over 200 days to go and I'm green with envy everytime someone mentions they're leaving for WDW shortly. However, keep things in perspective, they will be back before you know it and then you can gloat about your upcoming vacation.

    Character Warehouse Outlets?

    In my view the range of merchandise isn't great but you can pick up the odd bargain. The store in the Premium Outlets at the top of International Drive is slighlty better than the one at Vineland Avenue (this is at the bottom of Int. Drive and is no where near the Mall at Millenia). There is...

    Club Cool at Epcot

    It was great that to get into Ice Statation Cool you had to walk through an ice tunnel! It was shame when this was removed.

    Most popular photo spot

    Last year I replicated a photo that I saw on one of the photo forums which shows RnRC and TOT. As you leave the exit ramp from RnRC if you crouch down and angle your photo upwards you can capture the Guitar and Tower in one shot. It looks fantastic if you get it just right.

    Your Planning advice to First Timers.

    For me it's prepare an itinerary. It doesn't need to be followed to the letter but it does act as a guide and helps ensure you maximise your time in WDW. I honestly can't understand how anyone could wake up in the morning and ask 'where shall we go today?

    trip report 1-22-13 to 1-28-13 -just got back

    If you don't mind me saying, it sounds as though you did'nt do your homework properly (the fast pass rule change has been in place for a while now).

    Just over 180 days to go! A few questions...

    I agree weekdays are best for Uni / IOA. We tend to head straight for Uni at opening and in the first hour we have previously managed to ride RRR (x3 times), Mummy (x2), Mib (x1) and Simpsons (x1) so it pays to get there early. In the afternoon we head over to IOA and don't hit WWOHP until...

    Thinking about changing from August to September?

    We're planning to go from the Sat 31st Aug to Friday 13th Sept but no one else seems to be going during the same 2 weeks. We've never been at this time before and I'm hoping crowd levels will be good. I'm aware that our first weekend coincides with Labor Day but we are planning to visit TL on...

    September 2013 Roll Call

    Will be there from Sat 31st Aug to Fri 13th Sept Never been at this time of year before so I'm hoping the crowds will be light compared to mid-May when we normally go for our main holiday. Touring Plans suggests crowds should be quite low but all I keep reading on the forums at the moment is...

    That moment when....

    Positive - Seeing the DME at the aiport Negative - On the way home, passing through security at the Orlando airport and seeing everyone get off the transit train who are about to start their holiday!
