It always surprises me the way people discuss Club Cool. People always seem to be shocked that they get free soda. I would bet that it is far more inexpensive for Disney to provide a patron with 3 tiny cups of soda then it is for them to whirl you around in a centrifuge simulating a shuttle...

He climed out of the boat, and it wasn't at the big drop. I believe it was at the 'dark drop' where you go down and come back up. He was actually cut in two by the boat that hit him. I remember this story because the victim worked for Equifax and because of this company's function there were...

The Yaught & Beach club is, for my money, the best resort(s) on the property. The ambiance is very similar to the GF, you can walk to EPCOT in 5 minutes, be to MGM in 10, the pool is simply the best resort pool I have ever seen. I can't imagine how the GF is worth more money, and the Polynesian...

I really feel that these are the two weakest Deluxe Resorts, but I'd have to say the Poly for its convenience.

thank you coasterphil, apparently i didn't do a good job :).

I have been to WDW many, many, many times, and I live in Orlando and know many more people who are park regulars and none of them have ever herd of this, and I promise it is true. I was at WDW this weekend. My mother and I went to EPCOT mid-afternoon, and we entered through the Int. Gateway. My...

My best tip would be to remember why you came to WDW in the first place. Because I live in Orlando, when I want to go to the parks, I just drive, go and come home. I don't eat in the parks (besides a cheep lunch), I don't buy little trinkets with big pricetags, and I use the water fountains...

Stay at the Contemporary. Ask for a room with a couch (they used to all come that way but not sure now). The rooms are more, but the rooms are the biggest standard rooms I have ever seen in any hotel, anywhere. Also, there is something extra special about having a monorail wisk through your...

The World Showcase. It's the best 4 hours you can spend in the world. Start in Mexico with a Margarita, then go through each nation checking out shops, films, libations and the various street shows that are all fantastic. Cap it off with a dinner at Le Celler in Canada. If you time it right you...

EPCOT_Rocks. Also, my friends and I have a new game: Drink Around the World Plus. You have a beverage at each nation in the WS and then you ride Sorin. You could also do it with MS, but I don't think that would turn out too well.

Mine has to be the Swiss Family Treehouse. It's so long, but it moves fast. Unfortunatly I always seem to turn the wrong way and never make it to the ride part. They really outta look at this. Second Favorite: PoC.....I love the smell in there, hope it didn't change with the rehab.

If you go the 1st few weeks of the month you should definatly be able to get some decent room rates. You also might want to recruit a family member from Florida to come along, because the Florida Resident specials during off-peak times like early December are usually pretty good. You might even...

If you were planning on going in September, you should go then. If you wait until the week after Labor day, the crowds are sparse, the hotel rates are reasonable, and the weather is still warm, which means you can enjoy all the water parks etc. If you don't care about the water parks, then go...

The standard tip for a buffet server is 1 to 2 dollars per person, depending on the level of service. A good thing to do if you really want to be on top of these types of things is to look at the number of tables the server is working. At a place like Golden Corral the server probalby has 8-9...

First off, you can complain and still tip. If you go into a store, and the person behind the counter is rude, you don't get a portion of their hourly wage. Tips are PART of a servers hourly wage, and thus one should always be included except in the most extreme circumstances. As for character...

I have eaten in just about every sit-down in the world, and I have two favorites. In the parks, I'd have to go with Le Cellier Steakhouse. It's nice and quiet, the food is AMAZING, and God Bless the Canadians, their isn't a nasty one among them. If you are looking for something out of the parks...

Most restuarants in Orlando (disney or Otherwise) charge a service fee for large parties. It is coustomary for this fee to be between 15 and 18%. The reason is because most of our foreign visitors don't realize the coustom and thus grossly undertip. It is the expectation that if you thought the...
