I've only stayed at the nearby Wyndahm (which was nice, aside from the bus situation), but I feel I should clarify the frequent comment that Downtown Disney is just across the street from these hotels. What's really a 5-minute walk across the street is the Marketplace with all the shops & the...

I've used both Mears & a towncar service on previous trips & they both have their pros & cons. Mears usually has the advantage on price (depending on how many are in your party) & you don't have to plan in advance. Just walk down to their booth at the airport when you de-plane & buy a...

I've been on three solo trips to WDW & loved every one of them. As for tips, I like to explore World Showcase at Epcot. There's lot of great street entertainment, unusual shops & architecture, and many places to grab a quick drink or unusual foreign delicacy. The atmosphere is especially...

I've never been on one of the Disney cruises, however I can tell you that Carnival cruises are definately aimed at the adult-market. When I went on one of their ships, the emphasis was totally on gambling, adult-oriented Las-Vegas style entertainment, and poolside games & drinking. No...

Yes, Tiffany does have a grocery stop.

I used Tiffany once & they were fine. The car was clean & they picked me up within five minutes of the scheduled times. Not a big deal for me, but there was a subtle pressure to make it quick at the grocery stop & the driver talked non-stop. The driver is the make-or-break part of these...

I'm not sure what your budget is, but I would go with Coronado Springs or Old Key West. CS is primarily a convention hotel & I rarely see kids there. It's an all around great place, particularly for the moderate price. The american southwest/mexican theme is more adult-oriented, so...

MK: Space Mountain. Epcot: Spaceship Earth MGM: MuppetVision 4-D AK: A tough call, but I'll go with Kilamanjaro Safaris

Enjoyed the report. I agree with most of your impressions. Tarzan Rocks is definately a mixed-bag. I like the monkey-part & the Tarzan/Jane act, but could do without the Turk section. I've also noticed the disinterested looks on the monkey's faces, but I'm sure it gets tedious doing that...

Enjoyed the reports! Thanks for taking time to put them all together.

I went a few months back & highly recommend it. You can go to the cirque website to read about the plot for La Nouba as well as watch a video preview. Also, it's nice to have the website up if you're calling Disney for tickets. There's a seating chart on the site, so you can see what...

Enjoyed your report! I must say though you are the first person I've ever heard comment that Fantasmic is boring. I thought I was the only one who felt this way, particularly since it seems to always get glowing reviews on these boards. I agree there's too much time devoted to the images...

Hi everyone! I thought I would share some random thoughts on my recent 5-day trip to the world. This was a solo trip - a present for myself if you will. I was celebrating my recent 35-pound weight loss & a 9-month ago promotion at work. So here goes.... The Wyndham Palace Resort &...

I'll change things up here & say the Contemporary. I know it's a classic, but the theme (or lack thereof) does nothing for me. Too sterile I guess. It's also quite noisy, and the food court is small & rather dirty. I'm amazed so many people dislike Coronado Springs. True, it's not as...

Coronado Springs is nice, but if you have little ones, I would ask for a room in the Casitas section near the lobby/bus stop/food court. All of the Disney moderates are big, so room location is important. Make sure you ask at the front desk when you check in.

Busch Gardens is quite nice, but as stated above, it will require an outlay of cash. It will probably be open into the evening in June, so you should have plenty of time for it. They have a lot of good rides & shows, and their animal exhibits are top notch. It's nicely landscaped, not...

I don't remember the exact schedule, but it should be posted at the bus stop at your hotel. (If not, get off for a minute at the Wyndham & you'll see it there.) I do recall that service to Animal Kingdom and the water parks was not as frequent as Epcot/Magic Kingdom, etc. I also recall...

I stayed at the nearby Wyndham & would recommend you drive yourself, particularly if you are limited on time. As stated above, there are no buses from DTD to a theme park - you must transfer from a resort (not recommended, very time-consuming!). The village bus system is a mixed bag. The...

I stayed here recently & liked the hotel very much. They have a nice pool area and lobby & the hotel is across the street from Downtown Disney (quite convenient if you spend a lot of time there in the evenings). My only gripe with the Wyndham is the high prices for food. They have...

I wish Disney would adopt Universal's perk whereby if you are a guest at one of their resorts, you can jump into the Fastpass line all day long just by flashing your resort id. Even better is you can do it over & over again with no time-constraint limits. I'm sure the complaints would go...
