    Tipping Housekeeping

    How much is very little? If individual members want to pay extra for daily maid service, that option is available. The membership as a whole, however felt that keeping yearly dues down was more important than daily maid service. When we go, it's just my wife and I in a studio. We're not very...

    E-ride nights

    E-Ride nights are nights when resort guests can pay an extra $12.00 and stay in the park for 3 hours after the posted closing time. There are 9 rides (I believe) that are open including all of the mountains, HM, AE, Country Bears, Astro Orbiter and Buzz Lightyear. It's a blast and is usually...

    Tipping Housekeeping

    You get a "trash and tidy" on the third or fourth day and a full cleaning on the sixth or seventh day. I'll trade daily housekeeping for a guaranteed great price on a very large room in a deluxe resort any day! If it weren't for DVC, I'd be staying at the All Stars instead of the Boardwalk...

    Safety Features on rides!

    Hmmmm Everything I've read about TOT said that the "elevator" car is not only pulled up by cables but also pulled down as well. In other words, there is no actual free fall. You're always supported by the tension between the cables. But, I've been wrong before... :)

    Best place to eat at Disney

    This is a great thread. It's funny how different tastes can be; we live in Texas and thought the food in Mexico was the worst we'd ever had but apparently, people like it! We like: Spoodles (excellent salmon) Alfredo's Biergarten Akershus (the cold selections on the buffet are great for...

    Tipping Housekeeping

    I'm a DVC member so I don't really worry about that anymore. We usually only stay for 6 nights so we don't get a full cleaning until the last day. I used to tip when we stayed in the resorts but only if my room was cleaned well. Here's a tidbit; if you call Disney and ask them how much you...

    Where do 4 20yr ols stay?

    Fort Wilderness cabins would be comfortable but two years ago when my sister stayed there, they had some difficulty getting around efficiently. If you're going to pony up big bucks for a suite, check into the 2 bedroom at BWV. It has everything the CR and WL has plus a whirlpool tub! If you...

    DVC or not

    Well, you can this year anyway. My point is, historically rates have increased every year at WDW resorts. My dues have gone down every year except this year. The value of DVC will increase as the price of rooms goes up (until about 2030 or so...) You're also basing your theory on the premise...

    your favorite spot to take time out at the parks

    We like to sit and play checkers on Main Street. It's also nice to sit and watch people try to rush for the bus after Illuminations. We just smile, watch them and mosey on back to BWV. DVC takes a great deal of the pressure off. We know we'll be back for years to come...

    Anyone know if Space Mountain used to be more violent?

    I don't believe SM has ever had a large drop. I was on the TTA on the Keys to the Kingdom tour last year. When we passed through SM, the lights were on! Believe me, it's less scary in the dark...

    I am so, so sad and need some cheering up.........

    I would take this with a grain of salt. Disney doesn't usually fool around with profitible ventures. Even a store manager won't know all the overhead and other costs associated with running a particular store. They may be bringing in lots of money, but how much is going out?

    Keys to the Kingdom

    In addition to the DC discount, there is also a pretty good DVC discount if you qualify.

    Park Hopper Tickets on Ebay

    bearboysnc is correct. The only way to see how many days remain on a mulit-day pass is to take it to Guest Relations at WDW. They don't want their passes resold, hence the Florida law making it illegal. There really is no good way to save money on WDW passes. The Disney Club discount is OK...

    May hours and E-ride nights

    I just checked the site and the only options I had were park hours in 2003 and 2004. ?????? Probably just as well, the posted hours at that time of year rarely match the actual hours once we get there. It really depends on the anticipated attendance.

    primeval whirl

    Information about the ride can be found here . It's not a carny ride that's been mounted in place. It's the version that is "an adaptable structure especially designed for your landscape relief and vegetation (trees, rocks, brooks,...), with a larger ground surface for a larger development...

    primeval whirl

    I believe the quote is "Please stand clear of the doors." There are two versions of this ride. Disney did not buy the portable version.
