Day 3 - Hollywood Studios! Tuesday morning we were up bright and early to hit DHS. As we walked along Crescent Lake we noticed that the ferry was sitting at the Boardwalk dock, meaning the YC/BC stop was next on it's way to DHS. After a few minutes of debate we decided to "race" the ferry and...

Boardwalk is an awesome resort too! We spent quite a bit of time there between the Boardwalk Bakery (which is fantastic) and the other restaurants and shops.

Thanks! Most of the t-shirts that the little one is wearing were made by a friend of my wife who does embroidery, but I believe a few also came from Etsy.

Thanks! Yes, the cell phone got replaced! We had insurance on it, and they sent us a brand new one via next day air, so she was back in business within a couple of days. I was actually very proud of how she handled it. She didn't complain at all, and it was kind of nice having her all to...

We were in that store many times this trip - I'm always a little ashamed of how much we spend there! Via Napoli was a really good experience. We'll definitely be back!

You can certainly make room requests, though I would think you would want to give a specific range of numbers or just say you want to be in the 50's section. This is the section we requested when we stayed at Pop, and we walked by these statues every day.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I'll get to the remaining parts of the trip soon...

Day 2 - Epcot! We hit the IG about 30 minutes prior to rope drop, and were told that the turnstiles would open about 15 minutes before 9am. This particular CM was quite happy to spend the next 15 minutes opining about the quality of Disney Cruise Lines, the effectiveness of guests writing...

Finally getting around to starting the trip report - only a month after returning from the World...Thankfully, we took plenty of pictures, which are helping me remember our experiences, but will likely make this one long report! This was our family's 5th visit to WDW since our first in 2007...

The boats from DHS are probably the best way to get there from another resort. The walk is exactly 20 mins from DHS to the YC/BC dock, then another 10 to IG - it isn't bad early in the morning, but I probably wouldn't try it at 11am. It takes a good 20-30 mins for the boats to get from DHS to...

We never use the DP, even when Free Dining is offered, but almost always make at least 1 ADR per day for our trips. The dining is one of our favorite parts of WDW. We just plan our trips so that we are able to get everything done including the meals. I think free dining probably encourages more...

Depending on how large your group is (and what time of year), you are going to be hard pressed to eat dinner there without a long wait, unless you eat very early. We stayed at BC 2 weeks ago and every time we walked by B&C during the week there were lots of folks waiting. It's just too small -...

We got a free upgrade to a bunk bed room at AKL last year and our littlest (2 at the time) loved it. She liked pretending to sleep in her "up bed" (top bunk) almost as much as watching the animals from the balcony!

I would ask your front desk CM about what time the buses usually start running, but it's supposed to be around 2 hours before opening. We had a 8am ADR at CP a couple of weeks ago, and the buses at our resort started running at 6:45am for MK. On a typical park day, we try to be at the bus...

We stayed there last August with my bro-in-law who is USAF, and it was such a fantastic deal I can't really complain about anything. Cheapest we have ever done WDW! I agree that the resort itself doesn't "feel" like a Disney resort, but you can't beat the price, location and rooms, which are the...

Yeah, we use the room charge account on all of our trips and they've never informed us of the charge limit at the resort. Thankfully, we do our research and knew about it ahead of time. We've used it at both value and deluxe resorts, and typically will go to the front desk mid-trip and pay off a...

That would be World of Disney - open til 11pm

We really enjoyed dinner here! The potato and leek soup was very good, as was the salmon. The seafood pastry was excellent as well, and the pork chop was decent (not great). We took one of each of the cupcakes back to the resort to eat later, and they were all great! You'll read some poor...

We've driven to WDW many times and never with a GPS until this most recent trip, when we needed it to go to some unfamiliar places after Orlando. Its really not necessary as long as you're on property as there are plenty of signs to get you everywhere. I will note that using a gps on property...

One other thing we noticed about this recent trip is a return of our appetites. It was so hot back in August that we just had no desire to each much. Not so this time!
