Personally, I take any review written on TA, here or any other forum with a HUGE grain of salt. Especially the reviews that give something, like on TA, 5 stars or 1 star. I'll buy into the 5 star reviews only if the place in question has a lot of reviews and has a 4.5-5 star rating. 1 star...

Glad I am not the only one who had this first reaction. With that being said, I really like the BBQ Chicken Salad at Flame Tree and the Dig Site Salad at Restaurantosaurus. I haven't had too many other salads at WDW, but for some reason I find these salads to be quite refreshing for lunch on...

We don't really go out of our way to watch any particular typical Disney or Pixar movie before heading to the World, but we will watch a few here and there. Like others have mentioned, we do tend to watch a lot of Disney-esque videos on youtube. The movies we tend to try to watch before a...

Sigh... Hopefully the reviews will start coming in and will be more positive than the one a PP had posted. If things get better, we'll consider it for our honeymoon trip. If it is what it is, we'll probably skip it. If it is "a little better than Le Cellier" as the PP said, and it remains to be...

Besides what the PP has already mentioned, make sure not to miss "Flights of Wonder". This, in my opinion, is the best show on property. Take the train over to Rafiki's Planet Watch. It is a nice way to spend an hour or more between the Affection Section and the Conservation Station. If you are...

If you have room in your budget (ok... a lot of room in your budget) the Wanyama Safari was FANTASTIC! You take a guided tour around the savannahs of the lodge, guided by a CM who works with some of the animals. After about 90 minutes or so on the savannahs, you head to Jiko for a fantastic...

Not counting taking a taxi, it's probably quicker to take a bus from AKL to DHS and then walk to the Swan/Fantasia Gardens. You could also hop on a boat if it happens to be pulling in when you get to DHS.

So you plan on going down for 7 days but plan on spending just 2 in the parks? What do you plan on doing the other 5 days? Don't plan on spending those days sitting by the pool, December is a hit or miss type of month. It can be 80 and beautiful or it can be 50 and chilly. Also, it being his...

Romance is one of those things that can be found anywhere, depending on the person. As others have said, without knowing anything about either of you, budget, length of time you plan on staying, how much time you plan on spending in the parks or even when in December 2013 you plan on going (the...

The 2 things I have enjoyed most at resort food courts/CS are the "Create your own Pasta" at POR which truely is awesome (good options, huge portions, garlic bread, fairly priced) and the African Stew at the Mara at AKL.

To say the 4 days after Christmas is very busy and crazy is a huge understatement. This is THE busiest time of the year. Parks are packed, lines are very long and the crowds are a mix of festive and unruly and the closer to NYE it gets the more crowded it gets. If they don't plan to stay around...

If I were to base my answer purely on the premise of working with a hypothetical budget, it would simply come down to what is least expensive (personally, when I see planning with a budget, right or wrong, I assume penny pinching). A standard view room at AKL costs less than double what a...

You can book a cruise on one of the bigger lines like RCI, NCL or CCL for A LOT less than the cost of a trip to WDW (even after bar tab, casino losses and cost of excursions). However, a 7 day DCL cruise is more expensive than 8 days at WDW.

I find it really hard to compare going to WDW and taking a cruise. They are really opposing experiences. On one hand you have the hustle and bustle of constantly being on the move while at WDW and all the planning that goes into a trip, on the other hand you have the choice to be as active as...

Right now there is a table for 5 at 2:50 on Thursday. You are a party of 5, which is tougher to fit in than a party of 4 or party of 2. If you just show up, there is a good chance they will either turn you away or put you in a position to wait for a long while for a table.

If you are not a big drinker, even if you are sharing drinks you may want to consider splitting drinking around the WS into 2 days. Also, make sure you get yourself a bottle of water and something to eat after every couple of countries. You need to do what you can to keep your body hydrated...

It is my understanding that CMs (other than those mentioned by the PP) are not supposed to accept cash tips and I don't think all tour guides are included in that, only the VIP tour guides. I asked a CL-CM this on our last trip and he told me something about a rule where a CM cannot accept a...

For one reason or another we usually end up booking a meal at a restaurant at our resort durring a trip. We usually have our meal on either the first or last night of a trip. Our last trip was our first stay at AKL and while we try to head over there for a meal, this time we just couldn't help...

In most cases swapping out sides usually isn't much of an issue. On a side note, you should never choose a restaurant, especially a Signature, based purely on a specific menu item. Unless it is that restaurants Signature dish (i.e. the potato-wrapped red snapper at Flying Fish), the menus at...
