I think Housekeeping Staff would have a much easier time stealing -what with that cart to hide things in. 'Security Checker' guy has nothing with him. So would probably seem obviously suspicious if he was coming out of the rooms with a boatload of tablets and laptops in his arms.:greedy:

I didn't get the sense that these 'security checkers' were any sort of professional security staff. My impression is that they just pulled a regular baggage guy (or whatever random resort duty) to go from room to room and look around for seven seconds. Not sure that this is a case of needing to...

Quote from the said 'security checker' when he came in and I asked why they were doing this, 'Ever since Las Vegas shooting we are required to check every room on property every day.' So at least according to him it is a direct response to that.

By regular lock I mean just twisting that little thing on silver plate near door handle to lock.

Honestly I don't even remember if there was a deadbolt (was at Port Orleans FQ), I guess probably, but I didn't use it. I just had the regular lock engaged. I was sick and sleeping so I did just ignore the knock and whatever he said from outside of the door. Just figured it was housekeeping...

I rent my apartment. In the lease it says something like, 'We will contact you for your permission to enter your apartment if we need access to it. However, in circumstances relating to safety, security or emergency maintenance we reserve the right to enter at any time, without your permission.'...

Def check out the official links on these resorts that were already posted. They are connected by a walking path. For a seven year old, these sister resorts make a great choice, you have access to all the amenities at both. Double the kid friendly pools, and, as was mentioned, movies under the...

Right!? I can't imagine anyone asking the 'where is your family?' question on a ride, or ANYWHERE in the parks! At any rate, it is definitely not weird to be alone in a park. There are PLENTY of reasons someone would be by themselves, besides just happily and willingly being on a solo trip...

I totally agree with this of buying the gift cards (or just using 'regular' money) instead of buying the QS dining plan. You can eat much cheaper without the Dining Plan. A Disney cast member told me a couple weeks ago when I was there that adults are allowed to buy kids meals for themselves...

Def do it. I'm a 48 yo female-but a few years ago the rest of my family had a flight from a Disney trip 2.5 days before I did. So I had those days alone in the World. I actually loved it! I really enjoy doing stuff like going to different resorts to check them out--no one else who had been with...

Maybe I have just been lucky but I have never actually witnessed an instance of line cutting in all my years visiting the parks, but I am sure some people are just that rude. Wow. I can only cringe at the thought of how entitled and self-important are these cutters in their real life if they are...

There's truth to this for sure, but SOME attempts have been made to nutrition-up the kids meals. Apple slices and yogurt are offered as sides, along with the traditional oversalted fries (you get two sides). Of course the yogurt is more like a milkshake, not sure about the REAL nutrition there...

I didn't know corporations did this (I guess I have been naive about the forum world!)

Believe me the first day I was creeped out when some random guy just keyed into my room! I mean you don't expect someone to just unlock your door and walk in when the 'Room Occupied' sign is posted (or even when it's not). My spidey senses were alerted for sure. Which is why I think the front...

Wilderness Lodge. I love the atmosphere and the attention to detail-I could sit in the lobby or on the room balcony for hours. An added perk to Wilderness Lodge is that there is a boat to Contemporary. The resorts are fairly close together. Sometimes we would take the boat to Contemporary and...

I think I am in the minority here, but I wish they would get rid of Joffrey's Coffee. It has a very Starbucks taste to me (which always has seemed way too strong, even Starbucks Blonde.) I drank a couple cups of Joffrey's everyday since it was the available coffee, but I wish Disney would hook...

Swan Boats? Wow. I don't remember these at all, where were they located?

He apologized for disturbing me, explained this new protocol and showed me some sort of official looking card which also explained it. He looked around for a few seconds, checked bathroom area and left. Apologized again and left. Certainly wasn't sort of any invasive or detailed assessment of...

-Maelstrom in Norway building in World Showcase.

It's exciting to be planning your first (almost) trip to Disneyworld with your children. You will find that the World has changed quite a bit since your fifth grade trip! Already some great websites for you to check out have been mentioned. Not sure if any of the below will be helpful to you...
