    Free Parking where I can ride the monorail to Polynesian

    Ok there can be issues with parking at a hotel you have nothing going on with especially the GF or Contemp. I went there one time and they gave us a time limit/parking pass for 3 hours. Yes you can park at the PV for the time you have breakfast there. You could park at a resort that is NOT...

    Contemporary Conundrum

    I like all the resorts at WDW I have stayed at and actually there are few I have not stayed at. I have preferences like the GF or Port Orleans or AK. The Contemp. is built on straight lines, stainless steel, mirrors and for some used to the Poly it would be a major difference. However I have...

    Best WDW story I have heard

    True when ever I see a 60's car on the road the accent colors are amazing especially on some of the Chevys like the Malibu or Vette

    That would work today but this happened back in the 90's when few had the alarm.

    Best WDW story I have heard

    On one trip to WDW we were on the monorail and two security guys were in the car with us. One was telling the other about several firings that afternoon in Epcot. Apparently it was the last day for several interns so they decided to do something unusual. They directed all red cars to one lot...

    Is The Grand Too Grand.?

    Some guests are idiots every where. The folks who work there IMHO are the best at making you welcome. We stay every Christmas for 3 days. Try to stay in Club area freebies are great.

    Flies. Lots of Flies.

    FYI Florida is a tropical climate it has the worst bug issues of all 50 states. WDW sits in the middle of basically a swamp. In all my visits to WDW I have seen few if any bugs and for that matter I have never seen any palmetto bugs which if you think a fly is bad just have one of those suckers...

    Which DVC resort to choose?

    I don't see how selling DVC to those who can not afford them. Yes they can make out on them but the bad publicity would not be good for business and future sales. The issue I see is people who buy and realize coming to Disney does not get cheaper except in your room. These are just examples...

    Which DVC resort to choose?

    Does not matter where you buy it just does not matter. You can stay where ever you want the points required is the difference. If you camp it is 46 points a night if you do GF it is 99 per night. Be more concerned of how many you think you will need each yr. If you think a Safari might be in...

    What Disney things used to scare you when you were a kid?

    Love Mt Everest but hate going backwards in the dark gets my BP sky high. When I was younger it was Fantasia the part with the music crescendo and all the action on the screen.
