    Rafiki's Planet Watch

    I'm hoping anyone can give me a little more info on the Planet Watch, we have skipped this area the past 2 times we have gone to AK. After reading the Unnificial Guide I wasn't even sure it would be worth our time to go over there but while making my daily agenda, it looks like we'll have some...

    Pressed Pennies

    We started collecting for my then 6 yr old on his first visit 7 years ago and last year on my 6, 5 and 2 yr olds first visit we started a collection for them as well. Started saving all of our quarters and pennies for about 6 months prior to our trip so when we went we were able to fill a whole...

    Fridge or No fridge?

    I've had a fridge before while staying at AKL but our next trip we'll be at Pop also with no fridge. Unlike you I am cheap and cannot see spending $80 on a fridge for the week. We are driving so I plan on bringing a medium size cooler on wheels, just big enough for milk for cereal, water...

    Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage

    I actually love the show "as is" but if they were to do anything I'd say update it. Beauty and the Beast being one of my favorite movies, this has always been a must see for us, and now I have a daughter who loves it as much as I do.

    Amtrak train reservations

    We took the autotrain down last August and got one of the family rooms and a rommette, which worked out perfectly because they were at the end of the car and right beside each other so we just kept our doors open pretty much the whole time until bedtime. Loved the ride, food was good, the kids...

    How Much Money Do You Bring????

    I have a family of 6 so for food alone, without the dining plan, we usually spend about $150 -$200 a day. That's with a CS breakfast and lunch and a TS dinner and snacks. If we eat breakfast in our room and bring snacks to the parks that amount goes down a bit. What you spend on souvenirs is...

    WDW Travelwear :)

    Glad I am not the only one that plans outfits well in advance, lol. I pick up a new tee or 2 for my 3 younger kids every time I go to the Disney Store in the months prior to our trip and I pack them away. I don't coordinate everyone (there are 6 of us) but my 2 younger boys and my daughter...

    Menu Recommendations

    The o-rings at 50's Primetime are very good, everyone at our table enjoyed them. I had the meatloaf there, which was delicious, but my dh, ds and mil all had the fried chicken and raved about it. In fact we are going back this year just for the chicken.

    Park Hopper OR Not

    I am in the minority here, we do not park hop. This will be our first year taking breaks at our hotel so yes we'll be leaving the parks anyway but I have no problem going back to the same park. I plan accordingly, taking into effect EMH's, Sectro and Fantasmic shows and make our ADR's at...

    Name your "Magic Moment" (When do you know you are living the Magic?)

    You've written exactly what I was thinking, with the exception of the ME, we haven't flown since 2002 and we rented a car that year.

    What's your favorite Epcot cast member costume???

    I voted for Germany because it reminds me of the dresses my grandmother used to wear when we would go to Oktoberfeasts every year. I vaguely remember Norway, anyone have a pic of a CM in costume?

    Is there a ride you have never been on?

    Magic Carpets of Aladdin and SGE. I assumed SGE was like AE so I decided to skip it last trip while my dh and kids rode it, they came out in tears (the kids not the dh) so I don't think we'll be riding it anytime soon.

    Secrets/random things you like to do..

    I've seen you post this before Master Yoda and I have to remember to print out this list for our upcoming trip. I could make it into a little scavenger hunt for the family.

    Dinner and a Movie

    I'm doing something similar. We are going to WDW in August and we have been doing Disney movie night for a couple months now. I just came upon the recipe thread in the restaurants section on here and there are great recipes from the park. I've already got a list of things to try out on our...

    Bring Items to Throw Away

    Last year both my husband and I threw out our sneakers at the end of our stay, it had rained almost everyday we were there and we were so sick of those shoes by the end we said screw it and tossed them. Now I wouldn't do this with newer shoes but we were both ready to get a new pair anywhere...

    Buy Disposable Ponchos before you pack

    I brought a couple of the cheap $1 ponchos with us last year and I don't think they ended up lasting a couple hours:( We ended up buying the ones in the parks, which only lasted a day or so and then we finally stopped at Walmart and picked up some better quality ones which were much cheaper...

    Ok, who's got soaked in a park by not buying a poncho in time?

    We went last August during Tropical Storm Fay and I got soaked, along with our stroller which we forgot to cover before we went into Malstrom. I ran out to grab the stroller and got very drenched. For the rest of the week I always covered the stroller with an extra poncho before we went inside...

    Your opinion would be appreciated

    We are going to 4 out of 5 of those restaurants so I think they are all good choices! I tried for Whispering Canyon too but by the time we decided to add this one on it was a week after my 90 day mark so the times were very limited. It's definately on my list for next time. I agree with you...

    Change of BEDDING in Rooms

    I saw a thing on Dateline or 20/20 about the cleaniness of hotels a few years ago and ever since then the first thing I do in a hotel is take the comforter off and put it in the closet. It doesn't matter if you are in a cheap motel or a high end hotel, they don't change out the comforters...
