Thanks for all of your replies - they're great! You really touched on some points to consider... I realize we can visit other resorts but really want to pick the one that we plan to stay at most. I think we're heavily leaning towards Beach Club. We do love the Wilderness and access to MK...

Thank you for your replies! You are both swaying me towards BCV. Good point on the secluded feel at WL. We are definitely more "beachy" people, not northwoods people but I do still love the look of the WL. Disney just does the theming of everything so well. We have normally stayed at the...

My husband and I plan on buying DVC in the next few years. We're debating which one, though - each has it's own benefit, just wondering what you think? Your answers may help tilt us in one direction or the other! So far, we've narrowed it down to Wilderness & Beach Club. We like BLT as well...

I haven't been on here in awhile -- well, I lurk from time to time but haven't been posting... I just had to post about Roy Disney - just saw it on the news today. I normally don't get too upset about celebrity deaths (I feel sad for the families but it's not like I knew them personally) but...

TP2000 - I will have to look at pics of Tokyo Disney and Paris so I can see what you're talking about. I've seen pics before, but it's been awhile and I can't remember what the entrance looked liked. Neat to compare. I wonder why they chose such a different layout? I guess it IS a...

Disneyfalcon - The canoes were A LOT of fun! Even my (tiny) 4-year old niece got in on the action and did really well. I was afraid we were going to lose an ore in the water, but she is stronger than we thought. Primetime52 - You are right about the park layout, since Walt designed DL himself...

Worldfanatic & Wilary - I wish I could have done Indiana, Matterhorn, etc but with a neck injury it's just a big no-no (fast/jerky rides) and for anyone with a long-standing injury, they would understand "it's just not worth it." I've spent too much time/money on recovery to blow all my...

Katherine - I was so bummed we missed Peter Pan, but the line was so long it would have prevented us from seeing other things. It is a fav of mine as well and we were looking forward to taking the kids on it, but maybe next time! TP2000 - Thank you for the info about the landscaping, rides...

Just thought I'd post and leave some info on my first (ever) trip to Disneyland. I posted awhile back about visiting DL because we would be out in CA visiting my sister. I mentioned that I was a WDW fan and was hesitant about visiting DL because I didn't feel it would live up to what I was...

TP - I'll take the Contemporary anyday! I do agree Orlando probably glosses over a lot of the crime stats, but that goes for any vacation destination - where tourism plays a huge role in the local economy. I've personally never encountered any crime in Orlando (or any vacation, for that...

I agree with Erika - it comes down to common sense. I never said I felt safer at DL than I did at WDW. I said I like the feel of WDW as a whole (I wasn't talking about safety when I said that - I was talking about the magical Disney feeling you get on the property - it is so spread out, I...

Agent86 is officially on my ignore list. Not interested in what HE has to say. Buh-bye! :wave:

MrsBee - We've been married almost 4 years. We have been together forever, though, so I have to admit, I knew he was up to something. He did one of those treasure hunt things through the parks/rides and then proposed on the beach at the Polynesian. It was very romantic but unfortunately it...

MrsBee - You really have been to DL quite a bit! That's amazing - I wish we lived that close to a Disney park! The closest thing we have to us is a Six Flags which isn't quite the same! :lol: My husband also proposed to me at Disney -- but at WDW. It was wonderful and very memorable...

Thank you both - I'll take a look at those sites.

MrsBee - Don't mind Agent86. He/she obviously doesn't understand sarcasm or exaggeration. I read MrsBee's post saying she's been "hundreds of times" and understood what she meant = LOTS. Apparently Agent86 only likes facts, cold hard facts. :lol::lol::lol: STOP ALREADY!

I've been searching for photos of the DL park then (when it was first built) and now. Would just be interesting to see the difference since there seems to have been a lot of changes. I'd like to know what is "original" when we visit soon. Thanks!

MrsBee - You are absolutely right. We don't really "plan" our trips at all. We basically choose the park we'll visit the night before and go from there. I love the spontaneity of the day and we usually always get to visit all of the attractions - stress free. I know some people plan their...

Thanks for the trip report - I love seeing the pix of the park, etc. You guys look like you had a lot of fun. Victor is so cute! My niece is celebrating a b-day in April and we're planning on visiting DL in early April. Do they do Mickey's b-day party everyday at 2:30? Do I just call the...

There you go again, Agent - with your emoticons. :hammer::hammer::hammer: Nice. Actually, Agent, I DID say I was "looking forward to the "original rides" -- as stated above. You seem to miss that quote in my OP entirely. YOU seem to be focusing on the negative -- I was simply stating that...
