Sent packages ahead to GF for several years and never had any difficulty getting the package upon arrival. It was usually even waiting in the room when we arrived. You do not want the pkg to arrive more than 10 days prior to arrival. Whoever does your shipping can give you the estimated...

On our last trip, my husband and I booked ours through Southwest Airlines vacations. It was definitely cheaper than going through Disney. We were able to get rooms AND airfare through them for less that the sole cost of rooms was going to be through DRC. However, that isn't always the case...

On our last trip, we never could get ADRs for Yak and Yeti (tried for 3 months!), but on the day we were at AK, walked up and got a great seat. That might be your best option if you aren't ever able to secure an ADR.

I think the system is still glitchy, as of late this afternoon. My TA made a package ressie this morning- that shows up when I call it up on the website, but if I try to make ADR's associated with my confirmation number (proof of dining plan) it shows that my reservation can't be confirmed and...

Pack n play is a portable crib like device- usually with mesh sides, thin mattress and lower to the ground. It can also be folded up... whereas a crib is solid. Pack n play's are great for traveling. If you do get the murphy bed but are still unsure about the lack of sides, check to see if...

Labor Day weekend is NOT a black-out either... just got ours booked :-) WOO HOO!!!

We just got booked too, and with the free dining, we were able to add a night (from 5 to 6!) for less than what it was going to be originally... YAY!!! So excited... now, if September would only get here a little quicker :-)

The last time we used ME, we arrived around 1 p.m. and went down to an empty bus and no line to the Boardwalk... was there within 20 minutes. However... the line to the bus going to some other properties were backed up big time. I think there was over an hour wait for those busses. So, many...

NYE at the studios is crazy. Yes, the crowds may be "smaller" but you have to remember that EPCOT is much larger than HS... it's all proportional! Crowds are insane at EVERY park on that day- over the course of the past 15 years, I've been to every park on NYE at least one time (HS every...

This afternoon, Jennings Osborne, the namesake of The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at DHS, passed away in Little Rock, AR. He passed away from complications of heart valve replacement surgery that took place in April. He loved seeing the joy and amazement in the eyes of those...

With a party of 7- even during non-peak times- I would think that you'd need ADR's (solely due to the size of the group). You can still maintain some flexibility even with ADR's, as long as you plan according to which park(s) you'll be in on that day, and not scheduling every meal. Our group...

I've had the opportunity to meet Mr. Carter at DHS a couple of times- very nice person and very good with the guests. He seems to be more in touch with the guests than previous VP's, as far as interacting and mingling with the people visiting the parks. As far as the Osborne Lights... if...

Yes, you will have plenty of 2010 merchandise during the 2nd week of Dec - we are always there the week between Christmas and New Years and there is still a lot of it on the shelves, and usually highly discounted.

The addition of Phineas and Ferb was not last minute. I heard about it through the grapevine several months ago, so it's been in the works for a while. If you LOVE the lights, let your voices be heard to cast members. They NEED to know how much this attraction is liked/LOVED by the paying...

Even though show times may be posted for Christmas, they CAN change. This happened to us last year- show time was changed by 30 minutes, and our group almost didn't get seated... but we did manage to make it :) So... be prepared for some flexibility!

When we stayed at the GF last Christmas, they brought us a bed rail that we used on the day bed for our youngest. It worked so much better than the PnP or crib... and didn't take up so much space in the room.

While I haven't been right after Thanksgiving (our group typically goes the week after Christmas-- brutal, I know!), I've had several friends go in the past few years the week immediately following Thanksgiving through the second weekend of Dec... and they have had minimal wait times for...

Our group has eaten at Narcoossee's every Christmas night for the past 15 (I think!) years. They use the same menu as any other night, but occasionally have a special dessert or something... but, not always.

Our group found that the counter service portions and quality was just as good as the table service. However, you do have more options at the table service. And, presentation is definitely different... but the food is still good at the counter. Definitely a nice change of pace from all the...

The Lobster Bisque is "to die for"- a must for me any time we eat at Coral Reef. My other fave is the blackened catfish. It has always been on the menu when we've been there, but we are always there during the winter. If it's on the menu, it's quite delish!! Enjoy :)
