    No ADR's ??

    Have only made 1 (that's right - ONE) ADR in four trips (totaling 37 days) and it was the worst meal/experience we've ever had while eating at WDW. I know pretty much everyone on here can't live without them. Heck, even my best friend who got me hooked on the whole WDW vacation thing initially...

    Your favourite Attraction T-Shirt..?

    I know what you are saying. It was almost like being in a little Disney 'gang' or something. I can't tell you how many times my wife and I will get comments or a little smile when we are outing shopping or doing something else and are wearing our park merchandise (hoodies, shirts, hats, etc)...

    Breakfast Time..Food Court Versus In Room.?

    They only come when you load the new update for the My Disney Experience app on your phone. You have to agree to never order roses anywhere other than WDW though! ;) :D

    working out for Disney

    Congrats to the both of you - way to go! :D I know my wife and I were just looking at pictures from one of our earlier WDW trips from a few years ago and we couldn't get over how much skinnier we both were back then. We've let ourselves get lazy and since my heart attack last month, we've both...

    working out for Disney

    Those are always the best walks - when everything escapes you and you end up walking more than originally planned! We usually go out for bike rides in the summer and have been known to return home 2-3 hours later, not realizing that we'd been gone that long. Ahhhh - fresh air! :D Hope you were...

    working out for Disney

    Doubled our daily walk around the block yesterday and today so that we are back to the dsitance we used to walk a couple of years ago when we were both in WAY better shape! I thinks it works out to something like 4 or 5 miles. It takes us just over an hour anyways, and I'm a pretty fast walker...

    Breakfast Time..Food Court Versus In Room.?

    We drive down and usually hit up a Target or Sam's Club just off property to pick up some groceries once we get checked in and unpacked. Not huge eaters ourselves, so we are more than happy to just grab a quick bowl of cereal or a bagel or something like that in our room before heading out to...

    Vacation Planning DVD

    I always do too. The last couple I haven't even opened and watched yet, but I like to order them every year to keep my name fresh on the ole WDW radar for future mailings (this means YOU pin codes)!

    Your favourite Attraction T-Shirt..?

    I am a huge t-shirt guy and usually get at least a couple of shirts each trip. Attraction-wise, I would have to say my Star Wars Jedi Academy shirt from Star Tours followed by my two POTC ones would have to rank as my faves. As for other park shirts, I would go with my vintage Epcot blue one I...

    Will do, and thanks! LOL - was just typing about those horrible sounding temps when yours popped up. Gotta love us cold weather people. 40-50 degrees and we're out the door walking. 40-50 degrees in Florida and I am pretty sure they are running for their parkas!!

    Hope you are able to get that 3 mile walk in with some better temps than the 40's. :)

    working out for Disney

    Good, thanks! My wife and I decided to take it outside (the walk that is :p) yesterday since the sun was out and it looked nice out. Thermometer might have said 52, but it SURE felt 32 when the wind was blowing directly in our faces! But it was still nice to get out and walk with her instead of...

    When you knew..

    It's funny reading about how many of us grew up watching "The Wonderful World of Disney" on Sunday nights. My wife and I were just talking about it this past Sunday while watching "Cinderella" around supper time on CBC up here in Canada. I said how it brought back memories of sitting around as a...

    Talk That Talk.!

    Never had a problem in WDW (good at understanding accents I guess), but on the long car ride down one year I had a lady working at a fast food joint in Kentucky or Tennessee where we stopped for dinner tell me that she liked my accent. She asked us, "Where y'all from?" which I can't lie, sounds...

    When you knew..

    As soon as we returned home from our first trip to WDW in 2005 (I was 34 years old), I knew I was hooked and would be returning some day. Just didn't realize that each trip thereafter gets you MORE hooked to the point where you can't STOP going! :D

    Andy's coming!

    My daughter showed me this picture this afternoon and I just saw a video on YouTube where a CM says that it used to be true, but Disney has since changed it where they aren't supposed to. She said sometimes they will stop moving and stay perfectly still for a moment, but they don't have to if...

    How many miles/hours do you drive before stopping for the night?

    I second this. Seeings how our trips were always during our (Canadian) Spring Break in March, I learned after that first year to book a reservation a month or two in advance and just make sure that we drove our butts off to make it to that city (usually Adel or Valdosta, GA) for the night. It is...
