    Fox New Report on Mickey Mouse (OMG)

    Wow, a friend of mine just forwarded me this link. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,423304,00.html I could swear I've seen people from his country in Disney, right?! :fork:

    One Day Stay...Which park would you choose?

    I've done this several times. I do minimum of two parks but usually get in three. In order of importance: MK, DHS, EPCOT. If it's only two, then it's MK for at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the day then DHS until close -- Fantasmic! to end the night of course :wave:

    Trip Report July 26 through August 8, 2008

    My family and I LOVE Portafino's, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we do :). Once you get the layout of the hotel, it's pretty easy to get around. My kids love the pool there. We ate at Mama Della's when we went there (very good, but quite pricey, a nice treat). Of course one of the best...

    Trying my hardest to save money, please review?

    We have camped in July but not in a tent. We use my brother 30' camper equiped with airconditioning :o. I do often wonder how the people in tents fair through the heat and rain, moreso the rain I would think. Anyway, it's going to be hot and humid for sure and probabaly a little raining, but...

    The end of McDonald's Fries???

    Yes. We got them (fries) and McDonalds chicken nuggets there on July 17. Hot, fresh, and yummy. I hope they don't get rid of these stands. I don't frequent McDonalds when I'm home, but I sure do enjoy them once or twice while at Disney. As another posted stated, they're much hotter and...

    Car Parking increased to $12

    We stay at Universal's Hard Rock hotel every year for one or two nights. The room itself with AAA discount is right around $289 per night. Then they add in parking. I think we paid $13 or $15 per night for parking. So $12 for parking at Disney isn't really all that big of a deal.

    What's the best (and cheapest) way to buy park tickets?

    I have family that lives in Florida (5 miles from Disney Vero Beach actually). So we buy the 10 plus 10 (10 day hopper plus 10 extras) with no expiration date. This gives us (for the most part) multiple years worth of "doing Disney". We'll use two or three days here, and two or thee days...

    2009 Dining Plan Change

    This seems to be what the CM at Cosmic Rays was telling me was going to happen soon. I posted it here on the boards two weeks ago and several people said it wouldn't happen. It seems as though Disney is going to be "giving" this to anyone who books a Magic Your Way room, free of charge, which...

    What would you be doing?

    11:15 a.m., just finishing up at AK, grab a nice sub from the cooler I packed in our car and heading over to Epcot. Grab FP for Sorin then do standby at TT, M:S (orange), and SE. Depending on our FP return time, walk around WS, get a snack and just do whatever the kids and hubby would like...

    Just got back--light crowds

    Most of the people in lines had kids, so I guess we were thinking of them :shrug:. No matter how you try to justify it, it was wrong to hold people back so the tour group could go first........why? Did they pay more money than us? No, they got a much better deal then we did, I'll tell you...

    A Bazillion Brazilians

    We were there the week of the 14 - 18 and they were EVERYWHERE!!! While we were waiting for our Fast Pass time to roll around for Sorin, a CM there held all of us AMERICANS back while she let a whole Brazillian tour group go ahead of us :eek:. Everyone was furious :fork:. My husband spoke to...

    Just got back--light crowds

    We hit TONS of tour groups too... I wanted to slap them. They were SOOooo rude. Though my husband did lodge a complaint agaist a CM at Sorin. She held back the "regular" fastpass people at our given time to let, I'd say, about 50 to 75 of them on the ride. We couldn't believe what we were...

    Just got back--light crowds

    Yes, they must have got lucky. I was there last week and MK was super crowded as was Epcot. DHS and AK were crowded but we did those in the mornings. Fastpass needed for all E ticket rides. I was expecting attendance to be down also, but to my surprise, IMO, it wasn't. Even on Thursday when...

    Interesting things from my trip

    I agree with you about cost. We used the meal plan at Universal and it worked out awesome. There are several resteraunts in each park (Univ. and IOA) that you can use. The food ranges from Chicken, burgers, hot dogs, pasta (alfredo too), salads (plain and chicken ceasar), beef and brocolli...

    Interesting things from my trip

    I was there the same time as you :wave:. My husband and son went to ride Kali but was told it was shut down due to it was hit by lightning the day before :eek:. That was first thing in the morning. Maybe they had it up and running later that day when you were there :shrug:. We rode...

    I'm leaving in SEVEN hours!!! =)

    Thanks everyone for your well wishes. This might be our last trip for a while. We've gone almost every year once or twice, since I was a kid (30 years ago :eek:) but my son starts college in September so this is kind of our last family vacation as we know it :cry:. We'll just have to see...

    All to Yourself

    I would love to be in MK alone (well with my kids of course). I'd take it at a much slower pace but do everything several times. We did go to AK last April for an early character breakfast ADR before the park opened. Once we got there my daughter wasn't feelilng particularly hungry (a...

    Any rides or attractions make you cry?

    Among the obvious...........almost everything...........the original Main Street Electrical Parade does it for me. A couple of reasons, thinking back to the first time I saw it (I was 8) and the first time my son (now 18) saw it......just his face alone!!! :cry::cry::cry:
