Ah, that make sense. Coming from the UK though, we get great deals on 7, 14 and 21 day tickets and I think it was some issue combining this with the hotel keys / dining plan etc. We couldn't have a Key to the World card either for the same reason, but this was all about 8 years ago!

As others have said, avoid Golden Week! I've been there the week before Golden Week and it was practically empty (although it was raining a bit which might have affected crowds too). We also stayed in the MiraCosta for 3 nights and what a hotel it is! It's a bit expensive but easily the best...

This sounds familiar - we had the exact same dilema when we went on our honeymoon back in 2008 (although I wanted WL and my wife wanted AKL). We solved it by splitting the stay too (5 nights in each if I remember rightly). Both we're wonderful, but I think AKL has the slight edge for me now...

I stayed in the Miracosta for a few days back in 2011 I think, and I don't remember there being any free wi-fi at the time, but then I don't remember specifically looking for it either. Not much help there I'm afraid! If you're not aware, the week you'll be there is Golden Week in Japan (I...

We can access the address, but can't order anything (address fields are US and Canada only). If they host an online version of the DVD there, we can't see that either... booooooooo... EDIT: Didn't expect this to embed. Hit the YouTube option in the bottom corner to view it on youtube and see...

Skipping AK altogether?!?!? That's something I'd never do! Aside from having a few of my favourite rides, the environment / theming is excellent and being there is one of my highlights of a trip. I'm not sure if there is anything on my permanent skip list, but those I really don't care about...

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I personally like the idea of getting multiple rooms at a single resort, but as this is a big family trip there is a bit of a bias towards a villa as it's more sociable. If we staying in individual rooms getting together means invading some-ones hotel room or...

Thanks! I hadn't thought about renting DVC points - I'll take a look at that. The dining plan doesn't really bother me but with absolutely worth keeping in mind as it'll probably make the trip cheaper for those with kids.

Whenever I look at going to DLP I always have that "but just a bit more I could go to WDW" nagging feeling. I wish I ignored it more though because this means I never go to DLP for a few days in the hope that I'll eventually find the time / money to make up the extra to go back to WDW, but it...

Really sorry to hear about the wait times. I visited there a couple of years ago and I was anticipating horrific crowds, but we seemed to get really, really lucky (not sure if that was due to the rain or due to it being the week before Golden Week). Bottom line is that it's reportedly aways...

So, this isn't going to be happening for three years (and by that time it'll be 9 years since I visited WDW!!!) but it's never too early to get over excited by planning. So, hopefully this trip will be for about 16 people (6 kids, 10 adults). I've only ever been to any Disney resort as a couple...

I'm surprised that people have found them to be way off. Obviously they are not guaranteed accurate but when I have used them, I found the advice to be pretty solid. In fact, on the last trip I found that whenever I ignored the advice, I always regretted it.

Another vote for splitting your stay! After 21 Days the charm of the hotel might wear off, so split it between 2 or 3 (AKL should be one of them though!). Lots of people complain about the transport from AKL and whilst it isn't as good as other Deluxe resorts, it really isn't a problem (or at...

Delux resorts are a whole lot more money, but are more comfortable because of it. That said, I've only ever stayed in AKL and WL and I'm not sure I'd want to pay the additional premium for on on the Monorail loop. To me, the boat service at WL is fantastic so I'd choose that every time over the...

Well, If you ever need someone to make up the numbers then I only live a few miles away from you (Coventry). Now seems like a good time to become friends :)

Congratulations!!! I'm very, very jealous right now.

Congratulations! We used the registry about 4.5 years ago and it was fantastic! We didn't have any problems with our guests "getting it" as the service is done very well. Rather than them just giving a monetary value, they buy an experience / meal / thing which seems to sit better with people...

Very cool. I think there are applications in the parks though. We're talking years away but wouldn't it be great if the ride knew if you we're gripping on to the harness / lap bars tight or had your hands in the air? In a Poohs Honey Hunt style ride they could customise what you see on...

Could it be a couple of CM's playing a joke? Either way it's a win for you! I once had a PhotoPass guy in Epcot (around Mexico I think) quiz me about how much I earn and if he thought my lifestyle was extravagant. I like to think that he was just interested in guests from other countries (UK)...

When we stayed at the Mira Costa in TDL we we're shown to our room by one of the check-in staff who took the time to actually talk to us about the hotel (it's inspiration, bit's of art etc) and once we got to the room, she stayed for about 15 minutes to play "spot the hidden mickey" with us...
