    Polynesian Club Lounge - Can I bring guests?

    There's also Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian. The bar/restaurant are indoors, but have a nice, covered deck on the lagoon side where you can watch the fireworks- and the music is piped in, too. Enjoy your honeymoon!!

    Christmas and New years

    I agree whole-heartedly about what many have said... you will not be park hopping on NYE! Once you get to a park, you will need to stay put for the duration. That can make it difficult with an infant (speaking from experience!) We have taken all of our kids every year since the first one...

    Just Booked Our Christmas Trip!!!

    We have spent the past 14 years at WDW over Christmas. MK is insanely crowded, and usually closed, by noon on Christmas Day. Our experience has shown that the other parks are usually not that busy. One of the years, we were at the studios on the 25th, and had only 10 minute (max) waits on...

    Le Cellier or Teppan Edo?

    I think you'll be happy with your Teppan Edo choice. I have three kids- 6, 3, and 2- and this restaurant and Coral Reef were the only two restaurants where they really enjoyed being in. The "show" at the table, and the fish at Coral Reef, keep them involved. Places like Le Cellier are good...

    Osbourne Lights using LEDs in places

    They had LED's in use last year, just not as much as this year. The big tree was all LED last year. The older traditional lights were losing their color vibrance and intensity. If you had noticed the blue "wall" over the past few years, the color was fading... a lot... Some spaces almost...

    Candlelight Processional 2008

    When we saw Sandi Patti a few years back, she did sing, but was not mic'd. I was wanting her to belt out "O Holy Night" but she didn't! Same thing with SCC- he sang, but was not mic'd. Both did wonderful jobs. Also, have seen Gary Sinise- INCREDIBLE! For someone you associate with a...

    OH NO!!! Get out of the way....

    I was 35 weeks along on our annual trip two years ago. The turkey legs sent me running to the nearest bathroom! The smell was not the best thing for this pregnant lady! My favorite snacks were the Mickey's Premium bar, Casey's hot dogs, and Main Street Bakery cookies. My favorite meals...

    Disney newborn

    We took our DD when she was 6 weeks old- had a great time. Took DS#1 when he was 8 weeks- had a great time. Took DS#2 at 10 months- had a great time. Just remember (like many others have stated) don't be disappointed if you don't get to do everything you want to do. The pace is much, much...

    Celebrity Encounters

    We saw Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart (and her son, I believe) at MK on our most recent trip, on Dec. 26, I think it was. They were entering from the backstage area near Buzz Lightyear with their DSA guide. I was in awe because I grew up having a crush on Han Solo, and later Indiana...

    New Baby at WDW

    Our first child was 6 weeks old on her first trip. Child #2 was 8 weeks old on his first trip. (Child #3 will be 10 months old on his first trip in 12 days- woohoo!!) The key to maintaining sanity with newborns- don't expect to do everything all at once! And, make sure that you allow plenty...

    Dec/Jan Trip

    Hope you already have your ADR's for the 27th through the 31st. Otherwise, you may be waiting for a long time, or else eating at the fast food type places. Up until New Year's Day, the parks will be very crowded. Don't expect to do everything that you want to do. The pace will be very...

    Typically, yes.

    Don't forget Travel Channel tonight!

    I believe it was filmed right before Thanksgiving. One guest alluded to that, if I'm not mistaken, when she was being questioned by Samantha Brown. Also, in reference to them saying Disney Hollywood Studios... according to my uncle-in-law (Mr. Osborne of the Osborne Family Spectacle of...

    Don't forget Travel Channel tonight!

    This is actually a NEW special, which will be really nice for a change! I know that there is supposed to be a segment on the Osborne Family lights with scenes from the display. Samantha Brown was on property recently to film the segments. I'm anxious to see it!

    Your defining Disney World icon

    Mine would be the Castle. Ever since that first trip in the spring of 1972, I have loved the sight of the castle. As a little girl in '72, that was the epitome of everything little girls love... princesses. And, today, even as I approach 40, the castle is still my Disney icon... and now, I...

    Candlelight Processional Hosts

    We have seen CP three times with Sandi Patti, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Gary Sinise narrating. All three of them did a wonderful job. But, I think I was most impressed with Gary Sinise because you don't expect him- a big Hollywood-type- to do a reading of the Christian Christmas story... and...

    WDW-New Year's Week (Dec 28-Jan 2)

    Make sure to catch the Osborne Family lights at MGM!

    Do strollers ever get stolen at WDW?

    I would definitely second the notion of tying a brightly colored, gaudy scarf to the stroller. As our group has had multiple strollers on past visits, having these identifiable scarves on our strollers made it so much easier to find the strollers in the parking areas- especially when you have a...

    One more thread about Christmas crowds

    I believe that MK and MGM are usually among the first to close due to crowds, because they are the smaller two of the parks. EPCOT and AK are larger (land mass wise) and take longer to close. I do know that some years when we've been there over the holidays, MK would close early in the day...

    Diapers?

    The Huggies (red & white package- BabyFit's, I think) at the resort gift shops are about twice the cost of Wal-Mart or Target, and you only get the small packages. So, definitely try to ship them or pack them in your bags. In the past, we've stuffed ours into my husband's travel golf bag...
