    Girls in princess dresses at parks

    We just returned from 11 days at WDW (and other Orlando parks). One of the things me and Mrs. Smee noticed right away was the number of little girls wearing princess outfits. They must be selling these dresess like crazy. Doesn't look like very practical park clothing, but all the girls seem to...

    Favorite Non-Disney park

    Cedar Point is hard to beat for sheer fun, it is a true amusement park. And the combination of big time coasters, onsite hotels, waterpark, beach, good food, etc make it an exceptional property. As previously stated, the lines move at Cedar Point, they are masters at ride operations. All things...

    Splitting Hotel Stay

    We do this every trip, usually stay at 3 different places. Last time did C-Beach, Beach Club, and W-Lodge. They make it very easy. As previously stated just pack your stuff, call the bellman and tell them your next resort and take off. Your stuff will be there when you get back to your new...

    Hollywood & Vine or Brown Derby?

    We've done the package at Brown Derby a couple of times and loved it. The reserved seats are good, you can move if you see something better. The good thing about the package is you have a seat waiting for you. One thing about the package, everyone must order an entree. You can't just go and...

    How many of you married people

    Well I feel like a senior citizen when I read some of these wedding and honeymoon dates. Our wedding was October 11, 1980 and we honeymooned at Disney and Daytona Beach. Back then there was only Magic Kingdom and River Country. We stayed offsite as the cost of Poly or Contemporary (the only...

    Family Dining help?

    Think about Whispering Canyon at WL. It isn't a character dinner but they do fun kid stuff during the meal.

    20k replacement rumor

    I would hope the long term plan for this area includes a comprehensive rethinking of the entire Fantasyland area. Certainly a high quality ride (or multiple rides) are a must addition for Fantasyland. Moreover the use of the available space needs serious thought in order to make Fantasyland...

    First Visit...how many days?

    We took our first ever trip to DL last month, arrived evening of 6/9. We planned for 4 days to cover DL and CA. This allowed for riding all the major attractions multiple times. It also permitted us to plan our days exactly to our liking, experience many of the restarants, enjoy the resort...

    Best Restaurant at Dineyland/California Adventures

    Just ate at Blue Bayou, great atmosphere and good food. You can request a table on the water and you will have to wait a little longer. We had a very good meal at Wine Country Trattoria in CA. Loved the lasagna, very reasonable prices. We watched Fantasmic with the dessert package from...

    Disneyland, after many trips to WDW

    We stayed in Bonita tower, had a 10th floor room with a view of both the pool and DL, loved it. I liked Knotts although we went on a bad day. It was about the last day of school in the area and there were 10K kids there during the day on a field trip, it was pretty crazy and made for long...

    Disneyland, after many trips to WDW

    Schlitterbahn is a great place. It is very large, actually 2 parks (east and west) with a tram service that runs between. Each of the 2 parks is further divided into 2 sections. We allotted 2 days and needed it all to truely enjoy the place and try everything. Master Blaster is the signature...

    Disneyland, after many trips to WDW

    After many trips to WDW, this year we finally went to the original in CA. I had been warned by many and read numerous reports of how disappointing and small Disneyland would be after experiencing WDW. We prepared ourselves and kept our expectations under control. All the concern was...

    Jungle Skipper's Super Happy Fun Time Thread

    There are so many but some of my favs are: Being the last one out of the park. Stay until the very end of e-ride night and walk down main street at night when it is almost completely empty, its magical. I still remember the first time I walked into the Wilderness Lodge lobby, I was amazed...

    First night tradition???

    We usually arrive at our resort late afternoon/early evening. We get everything set for an early morning start then head for the pool first thing. After the pool, a quick meal at the resort then off to Fantasia Golf. After golf, back to the hotel for a late dip in the pool.

    Most Nostalgic Attractions

    Adventure Land in general gives me the feeling. On our first trip to WDW (our honeymoon in 1980), we first went to Adventure Land. We didn't really plan it in advance that way, just turned in that direction first. MK was the only park back then and much has obviously changed. The first thing...

    Fantasmic Priority Seating

    I'm looking for feedback on PS for DLR Fantasmic. The choices are the POC balconey or near the water. Anyone ever done the balconey? What is the best choice for seeing the show?

    What Was Before Playhouse Disney?

    I miss the Catwalk Bar. One of the best places to take a break in all WDW. It was never crowded (probably a reason it no longer exists), had big-comfortable chairs, was always cool and quiet. A great secret place to get away for awhile. And they poured a great drink. A little hard to find, but...

    Yachtsman Steakhouse??

    Yachtsman is excellent, a little pricey but well worth it if your ready to have an exceptional meal while at WDW. The cuts are generous and very high quality. Service is very good, good wine list, great desserts, or just walk over to Beaches and Cream. I've entertained clients there and...
