    How soon to start planning?

    We've booked all four of our trips through CAA up here in Canada (Canada's AAA, that is :)) and they don't really work out to be any cheaper in the long run. More convenient for us maybe, but we usually end up getting our agent to apply whatever deal is going on at the time and that always works...

    Good Sandals?

    I always bring a couple of pairs of shoes and my Nike sandals. I liked my first pair of Nike sandals so much that I bought the same ones (different color) again before our last trip. Wore them right out of the box when we got down there too! Super comfortable and wear them biking, walking and...

    Driving to Disney... to drive or not to drive, that is the question!?!

    We always drive down from Canada - 20+ hours one way. I-75 straight down and we always stop near the Florida border (usually Adel, GA) for the night. Usually pull into WDW and Pop around 1-2pm the next day. Wouldn't have it any other way. The drive IS part of the trip itself for us now!

    How soon to start planning?

    We had been going every two years (up until this year :() and would immediately start thinking about our next trip upon returning from the trip we were on. We like to go for 10 days and visit a few other destinations in the beautiful Sunshine State while we are down there, so like to save up for...

    Favorite WDW Shirt?

    I tend to buy a shirt or two (or three ;) ) every trip myself and always grab one with WDW Spring Break and the year since we always go on our Spring Break. It has become my little WDW tradition to make sure I get one with that each trip. After that, I usually gravitate towards the retro looking...

    working out for Disney

    Doing well, thank you Figgy! Went back to work a couple of weeks ago finally and have been doing okay. Have a new walking buddy at work and we walk an hour a night, which is cool. He was worried about me while I was off with the heart problem and he is keeping me motivated. :) Between the...

    That one ride that other people love, but...

    I don't know how many people love this ride, but I am done going on Dinosaur in AK. Have rode it every trip so far, but after last trip, I vowed to never ride it again. It may be the "old guy" side coming out in me, but I just find this ride WAY too loud (and this coming from a guy who STILL...

    Interesting Phone Call today

    Very cool stories, and those CM's definitely deserved praise. That was very nice of them, and also yourself for making sure they got it. :) Hope you wife is doing okay and glad to read that those CM's were able to help make your daughter's birthday trip memorable and magical for all of you!

    When visiting WDW...

    We have done that our past 2 trips. We had never seen the ocean before (although we live right on one of the Great Lakes up here and have beautiful beaches right here) so decided to drive to the Gulf Coast on our third trip to visit Siesta Keys Beach. What a gorgeous beach that was! Some of the...

    Disney Movie Club - anyone a member?

    Yep - that was it. Signed up and became a member over there and have been frequenting that forum as much as this one the past week. :D Really glad I saw that thread on there though because I was able to use a code and join the American DMC (even though I live in Canada) and get a way better...

    Stacy still?

    I still remember Chrissa doing the Top 7 from our first trip back in 2005 and kinda missed her at first when we went back a couple of years later. But Stacey grew on me by our third trip in 2009 and I was totally disappointed when we went back in 2011 and it was "Must Do Disney" instead. I...

    Disney Movie Club - anyone a member?

    Just joined a couple of days ago @I_heart_Tigger and ended up getting a REALLY sweet deal. Was on a Blu-ray forum the other day and somebody posted a code where if you joined DMC with it, you ended up getting 5 blu-ray titles for $1, another one for $11 and a seventh one for $8 - so like $21...

    Outside of Disney

    I voted for "Other" myself and throw my vote in the ring for Kennedy Space Centre or one of the coast's beaches as well. We always go to WDW for 10 days ourselves, and drive down from Canada so that we can have our own vehicle while down there. One of the purposes of this is so that we can...

    No ADR's ??

    Realize that - and the kids were younger and dying to eat there, so I figured it was better to be safe than sorry and booked an ADR. :)

    Two weeks from today our Adventure begins!

    Welcome to the boards and I hope you have a GREAT trip! Nothing better than escaping the cold and heading to WDW for some fun in the sun during this time of year, especially for all us northern folk! :)

    No ADR's ??

    It was the Rainforest Cafe on our last (4th) trip in 2011. I wouldn't say it "failed" me - we just weren't that impressed with it. When I walked up to the CM standing at the entrance to check in, he was pretty snippy with us and when I told him I had made an ADR, he was like, "Excuse me...what...
