    Florida Resident Ticket Experience

    Yes, much clearer, thanks! That is pretty cool that they let you use an expired 3 day pass to "upgrade" to an after 4 Epcot annual pass for free, not bad! Just so you know, the after 4 pass is still being sold online, always has been. All you have to do is select annual passes from the ticket...

    Disney in July???

    By the way, did I mention the tour groups that invade in the summer? They are EVERYWHERE that time of year and most, I hate to say, are quite obnoxious. Trying to skip lines, being loud, and generally rude. Most are teenagers and I'm sure they don't mean any harm, they are just having fun but...

    Floridians: Go see DL, Boycott WDW

    WOW, that was a lot of information, thank you!!! I was not aware so many of the rides were open in Disneyland. To be honest, I know very little about Disneyland except that the castle is somewhat smaller than ours, that everyone seems to think your Space Mountain is better than ours (I'm sure...

    WL Transportation

    Sorry to hear that M, I've had good experiences with WL transportation on both of my stays there. Hopefully it was an isolated incident like when they checked me into a dirty room and neglected to change the sheets after I asked them to. I'm hoping it was just the holidays, that they were busy...

    Disney in July???

    I would sooner have a root canal followed by a nice session of nail pulling torture than endure a summer in a FL theme park, it's HORRIBLE! I live in Miami, always have, so I know heat, but seriously, I won't ever do this again. I nearly passed out this past July from the heat and I was...

    Camcorder Carrying Advice

    Don't know how much you paid for your camera and video camera but if I may make a suggestion, consider down sizing to one camera that can handle both. My new Kodak easy share camera can do both. AMAZING pictures and great video! It was so nice this last trip not having to carry two cameras, I...

    Floridians: Go see DL, Boycott WDW

    Hmmm, I have never been to California before. Are you saying I can actually expect decent weather in the summer?:confused: I don't know what that is like since I have lived in South Florida all my 30 years. What is the average temperature like? Oooo, I am getting excited!!!:sohappy:

    Mickey Mouse Crocs for Christmas!

    Oooo, I've always hated the way the Crocs looked and just a few days ago, was making fun of the hundreds of people wearing them at MGM. However, the Disney design is quite cute and I think I'm going to have to get a pair in Pearl & Pink. Oh well, I guess it is my turn to be laughed at, lol!

    Floridians: Go see DL, Boycott WDW

    Well, I guess I'll soon get to judge for myself. Though I never thought I would want to, I have decided to take my family to Disneyland this summer instead of WDW. Not an easy decission to make since we live in Miami and WDW is only 4 hours away, not to mention we are passholders. But, I go...

    Florida Resident Ticket Experience

    Yeah, I'm confused too... I don't think you can get a park hopping option with a after 4 Epcot pass.... Could you please explain?

    Never been in June - thoughts?

    Well, sounds like you have your mind made up! I personally prefer not to drive more than 6 hours and I've even flown to Orlando from Miami twice even though it is only a 4 hour drive, lol! But if you like it, go for it. Just bring sunscreen and drink plenty of fluids. Have fun!

    WL Transportation

    Actually, that is what they used to do or at least that is what they did last year when I stayed there. However, this time (I just came back, stayed there for Xmas), the ferry went straight from WL to MK and from MK straight to WL. I asked the driver about it and he said WL guests were...

    Never been in June - thoughts?

    I don't know, wether you drive or fly from Canada sure seems like a looooong way to come just to ride a few rides everyday. To me, it would never be worth the gas or airfare. Unless you're rich and if so, go for it!

    Never been in June - thoughts?

    Yup, been there in June, don't think I want to do it again. I went this year for my 30th birthday and though I can't possible think of a better place to turn 30 I don't think I'll go in June again unless I go ONLY at night. It is WAY too hot and mind you, I am a South Florida girl, born and...

    WL Transportation

    To clarify, the only boat transportation from the WL to ANY of the other Magic Kingdom resorts is to the Contemporary on the smaller ferry (the one with the blue flag). It will take you to Fort Wilderness and to the Contemporary. From there you can board the monorail by taking the elevators to...

    Last minute ressies and deals still available!!!

    Oooh, I like that baggie idea SMK! Don't worry, I hear all the same jokes too. I am a real clean and neat freak. My housekeeper laughs at me because everything in my closet is organized by color and style. Like all red shirts together and then seperated by long and short sleeve. Heck, even...

    That is too funny, that is exactly what I did! I stripped everything down to the mattress pad and put it in a corner of the room, same with the towels. It's funny, I used to make the beds before I checked out, something DH has always teased me about but I thought I was just being neat. The...

    Last minute ressies and deals still available!!!

    SMK, it was the sleigh ride from the WL. They only have them there from November-December. The ones from FW are carriage rides or wagon rides. The sleigh ride is basically a red sleigh on wheels decorated with garlands and lights. It was very Christmassy and they even give you blankets to...

    Haha, too funny! Well, we are back! We had a great time, even had great weather. This morning (Xmas morning) we went swimming before we checked out and I couldn't help but feel sorry for all the people stuck up north. I mean, here I was, in the pool on Xmas day! Fortunately, the weather...

    Hi folks, Well, today is the day. I leave for WDW in less than 2 hours! :sohappy: I've had ressies at the WL since August but had been unable to add Dec. 22nd as my first night at the annual passholderes rate for MONTHS. Well, after many calls I finally got lucky yesterday and I was able to...
