    WDW in August

    We just went last August after going 5 years straight during Jersey Week. My experience is that the crowds are much worse, the afternoons and early evenings were brutal heat-wise and there were rude people everywhere. But every trip is different and every summer the weather patterns are...

    Saratoga Springs vs Old Key West - Advice & Opinions Wanted!

    Another consideration with OKW is the lack of elevators. The rooms on the third floor are three full flights of stairs. Not a big deal for healthy people, but at the end of a long day walking in the parks, they can be a killer. You might want to request a ground floor room in either resort.

    To Drive 301 or Not To Drive 301?

    We have taken 301 for the past six years for our annual trip down to Disney. We have found that it is the same length of time as taking 95, but with fewer hassles and a lot more relaxing for us. There are also many convenient options for stopping if needed, ie, well-populated WaWa's. We...

    Is There A Slow Time At Walt Disney World?

    Don't worry about Jersey Week. The crowds are manageable and not that bad. It's just called that because we have our teacher convention that week in November. Schools are closed on a Thursday and Friday. Some districts close for the entire week. So families and school employees tack on extra...

    Best/Cleanest/Safest I-95 gas/rest stops

    Hey Slappy, I am about 30 miles east of you right down 195. My family usually drives down to Disney each year so I have lots of experience with this. When the kids were little, we would carry them out to the car in the middle of the night between 2-3 in the morning. And then we drove and...

    Crowds during "Jersey" week???

    Yep, I will be there during Jersey Week this year. Our teacher convention is November 6-7, so families will start arriving around the 1st. We've gone down during Jersey week for the past 5 years. The crowds are not that much larger than during October. Oh and that accent thing is only for...

    MDE flash drive in mail today

    I just received my packet with the flash drive yesterday. I'm a DVC member and had just made a resort reservation for November 2014. I haven't purchased tickets yet, so the criteria for receiving this must just be a room reservation.

    A big thumbs up for Saratoga Springs Resort

    As DVC members we have stayed at SSR about six times. It is a big, beautiful resort. We love the quick walk to DTD and always requested rooms close to that walkway. But have I mentioned how BIG it is? (That's what she said) Sorry couldn't stop myself.

    In Defense of the Stroller Pushers

    I don't think politeness has anything to do with what "class" you are a member of or what type of structure in which one lives. Feeling entitled spans all social-economical groups. Rude is just rude. I also agree with those who are saying that there are plenty of rude people without strollers...
