    Flame Tree or Tusker House?

    Flame Tree hands down. Tusker gets good reviews for breakfast, but I would not eat there for any other meals personally.

    Wilderness Lodge Boats

    Yes. The villas use the same transportation as WL.

    Wilderness Lodge Boats

    There are 2 sets of boats at WL. One set goes to MK only, the other goes to the Contemporary and Ft Wilderness. None go to GF or Poly. WL has buses to MK also.

    Where do you book your stay?

    We always book direct through Disney over the phone. My wife just loves the planning process too much to use a travel agent.

    Buses

    The main complaint about the bus service at AS resorts has to do with the fact that they share buses between the 3 resorts during all but the busiest times of year, while Pop has a dedicated system. For this reason I would pretty much always choose Pop over the AS resorts.

    We'll be there during this same week, and have an ADR for Yak and Yeti on the 9th as well! Hope you have a great trip!

    First trip ever...this November

    That week will be a great time for a first trip to wdw! The crowds should be very manageable, and the weather is usually great! The parks will be all decked out for Christmas - it's our favorite time of year to go! I would echo the above from Figgy - get the UG and read it front to back...

    Week before Thanksgiving. What's Decorated?

    Yes! The Christmas decor in the parks will be up by that time as MVMCP will be going on, and it's been my experience that the resort decorations should be nearly complete as well. The week before Thanksgiving is a great time to go, and the week of isn't bad crowd-wise either until you get to Wed...

    Walks to DHS

    We're planning to walk from BCV early in the morning, but then take the boats back during the afternoon. It seems silly to drive to DHS from there, but also don't really want to wait on the boats in the morning when we're trying to get there early.

    Thanksgiving Closing?

    We've been a couple of times during the week of Thanksgiving, and while the crowds are definitely quite large on Thanksgiving day, I don't think they were as large as spring break/New Year. Personally, we stayed away from the parks altogether during the day of Thanksgiving, and had dinner at one...

    Last day of school for the kids yesterday! Exactly one week from right now we'll be loading up the van!! It's going to be really hard to get anything done this week at the office - unfortunately I have tons to do...

    Got so caught up with everything, I forgot my Dumbo. :(

    There are wdw personal shoppers out there that will go into the parks and purchase items for you (for a fee). We've used this one a couple of times: http://www.kellypds.com/Home.html

    Morning Bus Service from Resorts

    Yes, I guess I should have been more specific - you can get to Epcot via the Contemporary monorail. We did this once during our stay at WL when we had plenty of time, but as I said it's not the fastest route!

    Pool Cabanas?

    According to this from touringplans, no. I don't remember there being any when we stayed there. I think the only pools with cabanas are Contemp, Poly, and Grand FL. http://blog.touringplans.com/2013/05/22/get-to-know-the-disney-world-pools-part-four-the-deluxe-and-villa-resort-pools/

    Is it possible to do Disney for cheap?!

    If you are going to stay offsite then I would definitely drive. You won't have the free disney transportation for the most part, and avoid needing to rent a car to get around.

    Pressed Pennies guide?

    See here http://allears.net/btp/pennylist.htm We always bring a tube full of quarters and pennies for our little one - she loves the pressed pennies1

    Is it possible to do Disney for cheap?!

    I would agree that with that many people on a budget a rental home or condo off site is going to be much cheaper. The cheapest we have ever done WDW was about $2,000 for a 5 day trip. That included 2 adults and 1 child (+ 1 free child under 3) staying at Pop on a pin code ($67/night), no dining...
