    Taxi from Pop to Contemporary?

    Buses run a lot earlier than Disney advertises. My guess is they don't want masses of people waiting at the gates so far in advance of RD. The first buses usually begin to make their rounds at about 6:30 or so, although they do come around much less frequent than they do later in the day (maybe...

    When Is Too Much Too Much $$$$$$$.

    I'm deffinately living in the wrong place. The prices we pay here (Long Island, NY) are pretty on par with what Disney charges for food and alcohol. The only places in WDW where I find the prices to be rediculous are at any of the dinner buffets.

    Special first night dinner... where??

    Since you will be staying at the Swan, you could opt for one of the restaurants at the Swan or Dolphin (particularly Shula's and bluezoo). They are above and beyond any restaurant that takes the DDP. Better food, better atmosphere. After your meal you can relax and walk on the Boardwalk, taking...

    Special first night dinner... where??

    For us, it depends on where we are staying at what we plan to do on our first night. For example, when we have stayed at POR, on our first night we had dinner at Boatwright's and I booked a horse drawn carriage ride for us as a surprise. When we stayed at AKL, we had booked the Wanyama Safari...

    Restaurants we JUST HAVE TO eat at EVERY trip!!!

    Our list of must do's usually consists of Flying Fish, Jiko, HDDR, 50's PTC and Raglan Road. However, on our upcoming trip in October, we probably won't be eating at any of them.

    IllumiNations Cruise

    Unfortunately, we are not DVC members. We want to be, someday, but we will worry about that after we buy a house. Do you know how your DH went about doing the custom cake? Was something mentioned at the time the reservation was made? Who did he have to contact? Was the cake on the boat waiting...

    IllumiNations Cruise

    I am interested in booking an IllumiNations cruise as a surprise for my bride-to-be on our Disneymoon in October. It has been really difficult to find much information on them. I know it runs about $300 or so, that we meet 30 minutes before IllumiNations begins over at the YC and that th boat...

    Totally not worth it?

    I can't believe I'm the one that's going to have to say it... Expedition Everest. My dislike for EE doesn't even have anything to do with the Yeti. The ride is not that fast, the stopping and starting does nothing but ruin any momentum the ride would have and it's jerky as hell. The story line...

    My next WDW vacation ...

    We'll only be in WDW for 6 days (which is our shortest trip), without hoppers (first time for that), on rented DVC points (first time for that). I'm not a fan of DHS, but we are giving up a day of our short trip to Dine with an Imagineer at HBD, which is something I have wanted to do for a while.

    One hour: Magic Kingdom

    Well, after some thought, here is what I have come up with: On a normal park day, I would just people watch for an hour on MSUSA. If it is an unrealistic scenario, I would invite anyone who wanted to join in 1 massive game of paintball. Yes, it would take more than an hour, but I don't...

    Your Favourite Park For Those Character Meet & Greets.

    While I can't stand the park most of the time, I think DHS has by far the best collection of character M&Gs.

    One hour: Magic Kingdom

    I think it depends on the time of day and the conditions under this scenario. Are we talking the first hour of the day after RD? The last hour of EMH that ends at 3AM? The park to myself? Oh how I would have very different answers.

    1900 Park Fair

    Not a chance. :D

    1900 Park Fair

    That is the name of the dinner at 1900 PF. Has been for as long as I remember there being characters. The breakfast, for the reccord, is called Supercalifragilistic Breakfast.

    Breakfast Reservation Hours

    WELCOME! You will not be rushed or kicked out of either. We LOVE getting one of the last ADRs of the morning for 1900 PF. We have never been or felt rushed and they will continue to bring out food even if you are the last table. We have also had some really good luck with Alice and the Mad...

    Keys to the kingdom tour

    My fiancee and I did this tour in May of '10. Mathew was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic. The only ride we rode was HM. We, as a group, decided to skip the other rides since we all were having a blast talking with our guide and listening to what he had to say. The time really flew by...

    October 2013 Roll Call!

    We'll be arriving on the 19th as well for 5-nights at BWV for sort of our Disneymoon. The trip was booked by renting points to add to a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale that we have sinced cancelled. We have booked a different trip for our honeymoon, but since we can't cancel the WDW reservation...

    Cure All

    I know it's not a Disney only drink, but since I do drink it with a nice cigar at Fuego I'll raise a double Creek to his quick recovery.

    Blue Zoo? Anyone been?

    bluezoo is one of the top restaurants on property, IMO. For me, bluezoo and Shula's are right behind V&A's, ahead of Citricos and Flying Fish and miles ahead of everything else.

    Here Kitty Kitty!

    I know at one point Garden Grill served fried catfish as part of their platter. My fiancee and I had it there but that was back in December of '08. I guess it is possible that it still may be the Fish of the Day from time to time. On a personal note, while I love most any kind of seafood...
