    Anyone who has done the 7 day land/sea package

    Actually, May is a pretty good time to go, but I'd recommend going either the 1st or 2nd week because once schools get out, it gets not only packed, but more expensive. The seas are usually calmer than during hurricane season, plus you'll have the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival going on at...

    Help with crocs!!

    We found that the kid's crocs are pretty true to size. My daughter wears a toddler size 6 in most shoes and the 6/7s are perfect for her - just a little loose, but not enough that they flop off her feet. I definitely would not go a full size larger. I wear a size 10 1/2 womens and the women's...

    Who's voice made the character?

    I have to say that I loved Eddie Murphy as Mushu the dragon in Mulan. I can't think of anyone else doing that voice.

    What do you do with your car if you use Magical Express to get to the cruise ships?

    We are taking a Disney Cruise in November, followed by a few days at WDW so we've done the comparisons on DCL transportation vs a rental car. The transfers are 70.00 per person round trip. Port Canaveral just raised the price of parking to 15.00 a day. If you already have your own car there...

    Two Questions re 2009

    Rates for 2008 came out in August last year. I would expect that 2009 rates will be released about the same time this year. That doesn't sound like a bad rate for OKW, but I've never booked a resort with anyone on Ebay so I don't know it it's a good idea or not. If that really is a valid...

    Navy Exchange commissary by airport?

    I've been to that little Navy Exchange a few times. It's not really a commissary as it isn't operated be Deca, but they did have good prices on meats, fruits and veggies. Most everything else was about the same as at the Super WalMart. One advantage they do have is that they accept the...

    What are you most looking forward to for your next trip disneyworld?

    We're going in October for the first time since 2004, so I'm definitely looking forward to the F&W Fest and taking our 2 1/2 year old to MNNSHP for the first time in her little Tinkerbell costume. Plus, we're staying at the Polynesian for the first time! I can't wait!:sohappy:

    New Cruise line Ships

    Several years ago when Disney first started planning for the 3rd ship, the rumor was that it would be the Disney Dream. Not sure if that is still the case. They are keeping most of the details closely guarded secrets.

    Wilderness Lodge Question

    Microwaves are only available in the Villas and some of the suites. They aren't allowed in the regular rooms. If you really need a microwave, I'd recommend trying to book one of the studios at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge. They're usually close in price to a standard room at the Wilderness...

    2 and a half year old on a plane.....!!!!

    We live in CA, so obviously, it's a long flight for our daughter to WDW. We have always used her car seat. We have a Graco ComfortSport that isn't too heavy to carry on. It installs fairly easily with the lap belt (although you feel like you have to stand on your head to get it tightened on...

    Heely's

    On our last trip in June, we saw Disney Security escort a young guest out of the parks wearing Heelys. From what I overheard, the parents were advised they could return once they were all wearing proper footwear. It's the only time I saw anyone actually removed from the parks for wearing them...

    Cant find this info again

    It would be Ohana. We've been lucky enough to get a table by the window and watch the fireworks in the past. It's a pretty decent view and if I remember correctly, they even have the Wishes music playing in the restaurant.

    Armed Forces Vacaction Club Condos?

    Congrats on the expanding family and a big thank you to you for serving your country! My husband is retired Air Force and we have looked into staying at one of the condos that participates in the Armed Forces Vacation Club. Most of these are pretty nice, but keep in mind that a few of them...

    Visiting Shades Of Green

    My husband and I stayed at SOG in 2004 and have visited the restaurants and ticket sales on recent trips. Since the refurb, the hotel itself looks a lot like the Wilderness Lodge, although the rooms seem a bit larger. It is definitely on par with the Disney deluxe resorts. As for going...

    Problems w/ Disney.com and a Mac

    It seems there may be a problem with the site. I've been trying to check prices myself since last night and keep getting a message that the server is too busy to process. I use a PC, so it's definitely not just an issue with a Mac.

    It was canceled with no notification, what would you do????

    I used to work for Disney Cruise Line and I can tell you that the only way a reservation would be auto-cancelled is if there were no money on it. Since you had been able to view the reservation for a while, the deposit had to have been paid or it would have cancelled in about 2 weeks. Also...

    Newbie DLR Question

    I live in SoCal and am an annual passholder at DLR. It has been my experience that both weekend days can be crowded, but you do tend to get a slight break on Sundays - especially first thing in the morning, The crowds will tend to get heavier after lunchtime, but if you hit some of the most...

    Does anyone have any helpful advice about taking a 1 year old to the Parks

    We just went to WDW in June with our then 15 month old daughter. Since we knew the parks so well, we just took our time and went to the attractions that she was able to handle. She did OK with most of the rides in Fantasyland. (I think we have the only child who's ever slept thru the Mad Tea...

    2008 Pricing.............

    I haven't been able to confirm this, but there's a rumor circulating in the travel industry that 2008 pricing will be available starting this Sunday, Aug 5th. Hopefully, the announcement will come soon since other Disney travel pricing for Adventures by Disney and Disneyland were both opened...

    The Swan is a Westin Hotel operated by Starwood Resorts. They are primarily a convention resort and do charge fees for many of their business services including package acceptance.
