    Wilderness Lodge Views (while under construction)

    We've stayed in both types rooms several times. We don't typically hang out on the balcony so the view isn't that important to us. We've been able to see the water pageant from some of the walkways down by the water or pool with no problem. Once or twice we had a standard view room that even...

    Wilderness Lodge transportation times/tips

    Just got back from our trip and the boat / monorail horn happened to me on Sat. Kind of a neat moment. Also, this was our 4th time staying at the WL and we just really enjoy the boat. It's so relaxing - kinda like one last "ride" at the end of the day. Don't think we've ever had to wait more...

    The Week of Sept 25-30

    Just got back from The World today. Crowds for the last week were average (or a little lite) for this time of Sept. Been going in Sept for the last 7 or so years now - what a great time to visit if you can stand the heat! Yesterday was the only little bit busy day we had and it was at MK on a...

    Whispering Canyon Cafe question

    Last year they boxed up some for my wife. I believe they said that you could box up if it was from your first skillet only.

    No problem with online ADR's but...

    This is also the only way that has worked for me. Can't believe there's not a better way to pull them up than enter each individual ADR number.

    Restaurants without kids meal?

    At the "standard" table service places, kids on the dining plan are supposed to be limited to only the kid's menu selection. The thing to remember about the buffets / family style is that although they have typical kids food available, the kids are not limited to only eating that. They are...

    Opinions please! 8)

    Coral Reef has a really nice setting - it's one of my wife's favorite restaurants on property and my entire family also enjoys it. Is it the best food I've ever had...no, but we've gone the last 3 years and it was pretty good. Having said that, we're not particularly picky eaters. I've...

    Restaurants without kids meal?

    The only thing that really comes to mind is the buffets and "family style meal" restaurants. Adults and kids have the same choices there.

    Which One?

    Views are very good. One wall of the restaurant is a huge wall of very large windows for the aquarium. It's sort of a very open stadium style table layout with about 3 different levels so even if you don't have a table next to the glass - and most of them are not - you still have a good view...

    tomorrow is my 90 days!!!!! opinions on ADRs

    Saw your note about Pizza Plante. My wife is gluten free and has had the gluten free pizza at Pizza Planet. Last year it was basically the Amy's brand gluten free cheese only pizza that you can find in the freezer section. It will take them about 10-15 minutes to prepare it for you once you...

    Making ADR's In About 2 Weeks

    Yachtsman - Wife and I like it, but not really sure it is worth the 2 pts. Chef Mickeys - liked the food, go there every trip, but this is mostly about the characters Coral Reef - great atmosphere, and we like the food. I usually get steak though. My wife tends to get some sort of sea food...

    1st time trip for the kiddies :-)

    I love going in Sept because of the low crowds and the free dining promo, but in my opinion Sept can be and usually is very hot and humid. Also the peak of hurricane season. October tends to give more of a break in the weather I think. I've also gone the week after Thanksgiving/first week of...

    I hope this is the right place for this?

    We were there that weekend after Labor Day last year too. We've gone to Disney a number of times in Sept., and have never seen the parks that slow. My other trips in Sept - spread during different times of the month have had a little more crowds but still very slow and very managable. Sept...

    AKL Standard View

    My party had 3 standard view rooms at AKL in 2007 - all of them in different areas. No one complained about noise. Our room was 1 floor up from the lobby. It was very quiet. All of the rooms in our party were fairly close to the lobby. Having stayed in a couple of the Savanah view rooms in...

    Walking for Disney?

    I have heard the average person walks about 7 miles per day at Disney. I believe that based on my experiences. Bring comfortable shoes, also the standing around / standing in line can be hard on you too.

    could someone explane humidity to me.

    Another way to think of it, is how your bathroom feels after you take a hot shower with the door shut and any exhaust fans turned off. It's that "steamy" sort of feeling. I've been to Disney in May. The temperature can be warm sometimes, but the humidity is nothing really to speak of compared...
