For our upcoming trip, we are staying at CBR for 6 nights (free dining). Then we are going to Universal for 2 days/nights, then coming back to the world with a one night Floridian stay, hotel only ressie. I got us 8 day Park Hopper passes. I figure we'll visit Disney parks 6 days, then 2 days...

If cost is an issue, we've done adjoining rooms at Pop which works out great--we each get a bed, and have 2 baths. We'd put the kids to sleep, close the adjoining room door halfway and enjoy some TV in silence! So close but yet so far! The only thing with the treehouses is the potential walk...

Congrats! Allow yourself a lot of time! The spa is beautiful, and if you are having a treatment, you are allowed to use the facilities for the day--sauna, whirlpool, etc. When we went, we sent our kids on the Pirate adventure. By the time we dropped them off and checked them in, we were...

Awesome!! What a find!! I once got a SUV from Nat'l for a week out of MCO for $94 WITH taxes and fees. When I was in line waiting to get the keys, a few people I was chatting with had SUVs for over $300/wk. They were all VERY jealous. I now have an August ressie for @ $260, which is SO not...

Thanks for making it even HARDER!!! LOL! I know they will nearly have a heart attack when I finally tell them, but I'm going to do it! I have new strength from all of your well wishes, and I WILL KEEP THE SECRET!! Deep down I figure there are not many GOOD suprises in life, so you have to...

I booked our August trip last December for the free dining promotion. At 180 days out, I made all our ADRs. Air is booked. Rental car is booked. Countdown is in the double digits. I'm suprising my kids (12,10), and I can't STAND keeping this secret any longer!! I feel like I'm going to...

For our trip in August, I requested a room near a parking lot at CBR. The cast member said "Excuse me?? Near a PARKING LOT?? I've never had that request before!". So I'm thinking we'll probably get it--who asks for a parking lot view? LOL! It's just so we can park near our room so when we...

Those love bugs are NASTY!:lookaroun

Thanks for all your insight! I paid a fortune for airfare. I think I'll try the auto train when I retire and have to time to enjoy the trip stress free. And I won't take my Mom on it--she'd be green! She gets dizzy in my car!

Blizzard Beach. My 10 & 12 yr old kids, as well as my hubby, who ACTS like he's 18 in Disney always love it more than Typhoon. There are 2 things they like at Typhoon--the water coaster and the snorkeling. They like the slides better at Blizzard.

10 years running and we ALWAYS rent a car! It has already been said, but if you stay at a park until closing, you are exhausted, and waiting over an hour for a bus, getting squished in there with all those people, then you sometimes have a far walk from the bus stop to your room--it's SO worth...

Do NOT go ON Halloween!!! Really!! It's way crowded and not fun!!

Oh no you don't!! Here's what you can do. Make a room only ressie for the 27th, then another ressie for the free dining 'package' the 28th-4th! The only thing is you won't have a park ticket for the 27th. Use that day to go to Downtown Disney (free!) or spend the $40 to do a waterpark! OR...

Hasn't anyone ever watched Judge Judy?? A lot of the cases center around someone's "good dog" attacking someone or something! And everyone's idea of a 'good' dog can seriously range. Kind of like how we parents talk about our kids.."My son would never...", "Oh, look how cute Susie looks...

Maybe that's why there are alligators in the lakes? To 'take care' of those who wish to walk places Disney doesn't want you to walk thru! LOL!

Stitch definately. And Narnia also, but I can't even consider that a 'ride', just an attraction to divert people from the chaos of the REAL attractions!

When I was in my twenties, I went to the World with a friend in her 30's who had never been there before. We had so much fun! But we were on the boat in EPCOT that takes you across the world showcase, and the captains were wearing their white uniforms. My friend tells me that the 'captain'...

We had our photo taken with a Wall-E cardboard cut out at HS. It was in the Art of Animation area. Where the Incredible Family and the characters from Up were.

We did it a few years ago when it was a 'Grand Gathering' thing. We had a blast. The snacks were really good. We each got a pin, too, that had Grand Gatherings and some kind of Centemporary theme. After we boarded out boat, though, they took us out on the lake and we saw the Electric Water...

Thanks so much for your experiences! My Mom has a very weak stomach, and I didn't even consider it would be a rough ride! I decided to buy expensive airfare after all--taking at least 2 more days vacation just to drive or take the train, the gas, the hotels/meals en route, and the long boring...
