    What do you think of the Carribbean Beach Resort?

    Love CBR! We just stayed at CBR in Dec 2011 with our 2 children ages 5 and 2 and we loved it! Since we always rent a car, the size of the resort has never been a concern, but we were in the Jamaica section this past trip and had no problems walking to Old Port Royale either. It was only about...

    Connecting Room Fiasco

    Ok, unless things have changed since I was a cast member at CRO, as soon as a guest inquires about rooms for someone who is handicapped, the reservation agent should have immediately clarified if they needed an accessible room and if so, transferred the call to the Special Needs Department...

    PHOTOS - A look inside the new Port Orleans Riverside 'Royal Rooms'

    Don't get me wrong - I love the Wilderness Lodge. It is by far my favorite resort, but with 2 kids, the nightly difference can be a lot for us. We're staying at POFQ this year because we can't justify the 120/nt difference for a courtyard view room at WL since that's all that is avail for our...

    PHOTOS - A look inside the new Port Orleans Riverside 'Royal Rooms'

    Well, I can tell you that my little 5 yr old "princess" has already fallen in love with these rooms. I'm sure it's where we'll be staying on our visit in 2012. I just wish they would have been available for our trip this year. My daughter loves the story about Princess Tiana inviting her...

    Toddler On Cruise

    We took our now 4 yr old daughter on the Disney Magic when she was 2 and will be sailing on the Disney Dream in Dec 2011 when our youngest will be 2. The cast members at the Flounder's Reef Nursery do a wonderful job of entertaining the toddlers! We took our daughter 3 times and once she got...

    Disneyland Hotels

    Our family just stayed at the Disneyland hotel the last week of August. There is a lot of construction going on, but it didn't seem to bother my kids ages 4 and 1 too much. We stayed in the Magic tower which is the main tower where the front desk is located. This tower hasn't been refurbished...

    Anyone here bring a 3 month to 3 and half month old to the world.

    We took our girls ages 3 years and 3 1/2 months to WDW in December. It was our older daughter's 3rd trip. She was 15mo old the first time we went, but we traveled with friends who were willing to trade kids so we could do rides. On our trip last year, the best thing we did was bring our own...

    Do they let you take a wheeled suitcase and a garment bag on Space Mountain?

    We just had a similar issue in December when we went on our cruise. There were 5 of us, so a rental car was definitely cheaper than the Disney transfers. Budget has a location in Cocoa Beach that offers a free shuttle from the pier to their location appx 5-10 min away. If I remember...

    Is a 3 night cruise (cruise only, no stay at WDW) worth it?

    Disney Cruise Line is a wonderful experience no matter how many nights you sail for. I've been on a couple of 3 nights and just took our first 7 night earlier this month. The cast members on board are so wonderful and since they are from all over the world, the ship has an international feel...

    10%, at Pepper Market

    The last time we ate at Pepper Market, I remember there was a 10% gratuity added to the bill when we checked out. This was about 3 years ago so I'm not sure it they are still doing it.

    Not going w/ mother-in-law again

    I'm so glad that my mom and husband get along really well. My mom is going with us next month on the 7 day Disney cruise, then to the parks for a few days. My mom loves WDW as much as we do and it's really nice when she goes with us because she doesn't like the thrill rides and will take our...

    Dophin vs Swan?

    The Swan is more convention-oriented than the Dolphin and having been to both, I think it is just a tad more upscale than the Dolphin. Also, if you need rooms with 2 beds, the rooms at the Swan have 2 queens where the rooms at the Dolphin mostly have 2 doubles. The Swan is also about 1/2 the...

    Rock and Roller Coaster Could Be Better

    Living here in Southern California and having seen all of the freeway signs and giant icons that are depicted in the ride, I think they did a great job! I've driven past the real giant donut many times and I love riding Rock and Roller coaster and thinking about how much I'd love to be able to...

    Monthly Payment Annual Passes

    I think there is one point here that isn't being made - you don't have to go into debt to purchase the annual passes. We are actually going to this plan to purchase our annual passes so we don't have to put them on a credit card this year. We used our Visa debit card and have the monthly...

    Cruise Line "Bounceback" offers

    Unless they've changed the program, you can book onboard for any cruise offered - 3, 4, or 7nt (or any other cruise they announce for 2010 in the near future). You can book one stateroom per person in your current party, so if you have 3 people, you can reserve 3 staterooms. You have to pay...

    Transportation from Port Canaveral

    We're cruising in Nov and found that a one way rental car was the cheapest since there are 5 of us. We rented from National's location in Cocoa Beach and are returning to the airport, but you can also return it to the Car Care location outside MK or to the Dolphin hotel. It requires taking a...

    Favorite & least favorite resorts...

    My favorite of those I've stayed in would have to be the Wilderness Lodge. I love the theming and the lobby is just a wonderful place to hang out. It's also a fairly compact resort which is really nice when traveling with our 2 yr old. It's nice not to have to walk a mile to get to the pool...

    Polyneisan Resort King Bed Pic

    The king bed photo is from one of the suites - I believe it is the Ambassador's suite. There are definitely no king beds in any of the standard rooms.
