    Airfare changing anyone else's plans?

    I finally broke down and spent a fortune on airfare. Spirit Air from Atlantic City. Air for 4 $1181 plus the unending fees gave us a grand total of nearly $1500. Yikes! I have NEVER paid that much for air! 2 yrs ago, I got $79 each way with no added fees...The good old days.

    Park Hopper or Water Park & More

    Definately the Park Hopper. MK by day, EPCOT for dinner and evening strolls. The main pools at the hotels can be just as much fun as the WP without the lines/crowds! And (gasp!) you could always visit other resort's pools, like AKL or Floridian or Yacht Club! They all have slides and waterfalls!

    Auto Train

    With airfares soaring higher than the actual planes, I figured I could drive down, but the way home, not so much. Has anyone taken the Autotrain from VA to Sanford FL?? Just 4 seats and a car were @$600. If we wanted to book a 'room', we'd have to add another $700. I'm going to WDW..NOTHING...

    Should we or Shouldn't we????

    I pulled off the ultimate suprise @ 3 yrs ago--I showed up at their school @ noon and asked what they felt like doing, finishing the day of school or going to Disney! The entire office staff was cheering and clapping for them. One teacher even came in to watch their reaction. As we left the...

    Starting to worry!

    I can't remember the year, but before we left for Disney, weather stations were saying a hurricane would hit while we were there. The day before we left, they had it turning around and heading north instead. So we went, had rainstorms every day, but all was good. The day before we were...

    Airfare changing anyone else's plans?

    I KNOW! It's NUTS! We're going in Aug., and when SW released our dates, it was $95 each way. I have to wait another week yet until some medical tests come back before I book, so I checked again and that $95 flight is now $245!! Holy cow! As we couldn't go to WDW last year, NOTHING is...

    What to expect in late August

    We'll be there 19-28 with free dining also (had to be booked by 12/20/2010) All our ADRs are made! Two years ago we went at this time of year. SUPER hot! Rain every day! But we actually made it to all the rides in MK in one day! Granted, it was a LONG day, but we went on everything. AND...

    Am I An Oddball For NOT Wanting To Work For Disney?

    I totally agree...it would lose the 'magic'! As a teen, I worked in a bakery. The smell of the donuts being cooked, getting cramps in my hands from filling cannoli's, let's just say it's 30 years later and I STILL don't eat donuts! And I used to love shopping in a "fancy lingere store" which...

    Spirit Airlines?

    Sorry! I haven't tried the stopover yet. A few years back, Delta started flying direct from ACY to MCO, so I immediately booked flights. A few weeks later, our flights had changed at least 5 times, and ended up having layovers and poor times, so I called to complain that the times were not...

    BBB questions

    DTD definately better. We did both twice. DTD we only had to wait @ 20 minutes past our appt. time to be taken in. They took @ an hour and made the girls feel special. Plus, while we were waiting, we could walk around the store. The castle may have the 'atmophere' going for it, but once we...

    Best Spa?

    My Mom & I treated ourselves to (very expensive!) massages at the Floridian a few years back. Never again. It was a beautiful spa, but both of us had the worst massages ever. Totally not worth half of what they charged. I get massages monthly at home, so I guess I have something to compare...

    Spirit Airlines?

    We love ACY as well. Air Tran is now flying from ACY to MCO, although there is one stop in Atlanta I believe, no non-stops. But Spirit? I will never use them again. We used them years ago, and it was a good price and the flight was pleasantly uneventful. But 2 yrs ago my Dad was looking for...

    Parking at resorts vs at the theme park parking lots

    I always stay on property, so I have a paper in my window which states my resort, and the dates I am staying. I always park at the Poly or Contemp. when I have a meal ressie, and leave my car there for the rest of the day. Like others have said, the guard just asks why we're there, and at the...

    When to make ADRs?

    Thanks All! I got everything I needed, and didn't even go online until 8:30! My computer locked up trying to get the Fantasmic Dinner Pkg at Mama Melrose, so I called for a few until my computer finally started working, and fortunately the Fantasmic Ressie had gone through! I skipped going...

    More than 10-day tickets?

    I have spoken to guests in the park who were from Europe, and the majority of them had passes longer than 10 days--the last one mentioned he had a 14 day pass. I'm guessing you'd probably have to purchase it from Europe? With the internet, I'm sure where there's a will, there's a way!!

    When to make ADRs?

    I'm just wondering what time I can make ADRs? I can make them on the 20th (Sun) and I usually like to sleep in on Sundays...can I make them at 12:01 am, Sat late night (Sunday really early)? Or do I have to wait until like 7 or 8 am on the 20th?? I'm talking online ADRs..Thanks!

    In room refrigerators-value resorts

    I can't believe I actually KNOW an answer!! The fridge 'for medicine' is the same college dorm fridge you would pay The $10+ for. My poor daughter was on liquid amoxycillian the last 2 times we went, and we had to get a fridge both times. They told me at check in that it would be no charge...

    Freaking out at Disney's Photopass...

    You are LUCKY! You are so LUCKY they got your pix back! I had this problem in Nov. 2009. Smae thing, had over a hundred photos, some of the kids holding tinkerbell in front of the castle, waited hours for photos with the 7 Dwarfs as well! My sis and her fam also went. We purchased the Photo...

    Recent trip left me a little disappointed...

    While I have never experienced any rude CM's (in fact, I wish I some of that happiness would rub off on me!), I HAVE experienced many rude GUESTS. But, Disney has no control over who decides to 'play'. I will never, ever, ever do a hard ticket event ever again. We went on Halloween 2009. It...
