    Luggage storage at DLP

    Thanks for the replies. We found large left luggage lockers at the Disneyland Paris railway station. It was 9 Euros for one locker which was big enough for 4 suitcases, so it was a perfect solution. Had a lovely stay, and really enjoyed the 2 parks. I have to admit that it was not quite as...

    Luggage storage at DLP

    I'll be coming to DLP tomorrow (8th August), but I'm not staying in the resort. I would like to know if there is storage for luggage as my family and I will be arriving quite early at the park with 4 suitcases. We can't get into our hotel until late afternoon so we need somewhere secure to leave...

    Top 7 Must Sees @ WDW--Everest

    Stacy is great! Don't know how you can criticise her. Sure, she's a little bit annoying at times, but at least she's enthusiastic! Anyone know if she has a myspace??:lol:

    Location: Kilimanjaro Safari, CM Name: Jenna

    Jenna, the CM on our Kilimanjaro Safari ride this year, was a hoot with her deadpan delivery of: "Oh no. We are being shot at. You should all be scared. I know I am." You had to be there to appreciate the humour of her tone of voice, but everyone on board was practically wetting themselves with...

    Blizzard Beach vs. Typhoon Lagoon?

    I don't think you can go wrong with either park - they're both fabulous! But...if you're feeling lazy, Blizzard Beach has the chairlift so you don't have to climb up all those stairs.:)

    How's DME these days?

    We were staying at CBR 2 weeks ago and used the DME. It was excellent - everything worked smoothly and our luggage appeared in our room within about an hour and a half. But yes - it would be wise to pack essentials in your hand luggage (subject to airline security requirements of course). Have a...

    Tip for Disney Scrapbookers

    My wife took over 1000 pictures in 10 days this year at WDW for her scrapbook. Is this a record?

    Camcorders at WDW

    I agree that you can't really capture the atmosphere of the shows or fireworks with video. I usually video the whole thing, but then produce "edited highlights" at home afterwards, cutting a 20 minute show down to something like 2 or 3 minutes. If you use dissolves as transitions then the...

    Camcorders at WDW

    I always take my camcorder. It's a small Panasonic DV camera, and I generally shoot about 20 hours or so of video which I then edit down to about 2 hours when I get home using Pinnacle Studio, adding background music. My 2 girls love to act as "presenters" and love to be filmed in situ...

    Port Orleans or Caribbean Beach

    Just got back from CBR and it was a really nice resort. We were in Martinique and it's definitely worth paying a little extra for this because it's close to the food court and bus stops. The rooms are a good size and well equipped and ours was very well maintained during the stay (the cleaner...

    Great trip BUT.....

    Interesting point about the guys from Serbia queuing for their bread - puts things in perspective a bit doesn't it. However - and I'm not being at all racist here :lookaroun , it's just an observation - MOST of the queue jumping I saw this year was committed by people who were obviously not...

    Disney Magic Express Pre-book?

    Just thought I'd report that I am now back home after the vacation and happy to tell you that the DME worked like a dream - no problems at all, and REALLY easy to use. And our luggage arrived safely in our room within about one hour of our arrival - excellent!!:sohappy:

    Great trip BUT.....

    I didn't want to give the impression that our experiences this year seriously affected our enjoyment of our trip, just that the bad manners of other guests on a number of occasions together with the grumpiness of some CMs was an annoyance we would rather have done without. My children are mature...

    Great trip BUT.....

    I live in the UK and I've just returned from my 3rd trip to WDW (others were in 2000 and 2005). As expected, the whole family had a great trip and we enjoyed it immensely. However, there were some worrying trends - namely a significantly higher number of examples of bad manners by guests AND...

    Funny things people say at WDW

    Funny things they say My favourite was on It's A Small World last week. As we sailed past the restaurant window and waved at the diners in there (who waved back), I heard a young voice behind me ask its parent "Are those people animatronic?"

    Current filming at Disney MGM Studios

    Does anyone know if there are any TV shows currently filming at Disney/MGM that we can go and see in the 1st week of August? If so, do you need to book tickets, or do you just turn up as with other shows or rides?

    Rental Car Question

    Car Rental On my first trip to WDW in 2000, I had an annoying experience with Alamo. The "free" rental included in the vacation package ended up costing me an extra $300 or so. This was because we were a fairly large party of 7 people. Although I had pointed this out when booking I was assured...

    Disney Magic Express Pre-book?

    Pre-booking Magic Express When I said McCoy, I meant Orlando International Airport whose identifier is MCO as I believe it was once known as McCoy Airport. No doubt I'm living in the past! :confused:

    Disney Magic Express Pre-book?

    I am going to Caribbean Beach Resort on 31st July. We are flying from Oklahoma to McCoy Orlando (we live in the UK but we're visiting relatives in OK first) and will arrive in Orlando about midnight. I think I read somewhere you have to pre-book the Magic Express bus service from the airport to...
