devoy makes a very good point. I think too often, people think that WDW has few locals that support the park, and that clearly isn't true. However, there has been tons of info documening the truth that DL has a much larger base of local AP's than WDW. It really is a fact that would be...

The fact that it's your first trip does make a difference. The thing is, It's kind of like deciding when is the right time to have children. If you are waiting until the budget is just right, you probably will never have kids :) I think you have a great idea... wait a few extra months to...

There may be others who can give a better perspective on this, but our personal experience with offsite shuttles has never been good. ...They only run shuttles at certain times and not all day like onsite, so trips back to hotel early, late trips to park, or trips back for dinner, etc are...

Couldn't agree more. IN fact DW and I can't wait until we can take a Disney Cruise without the kids! :)

It sounds like you have already done your research and know what off-site location you prefer (you might find cheaper, but cheaper isn't better offsite), and you are comparing your 2 preferences. IF the Value is a wash cost-wise with the offsite location + rental car+ fuel etc.... and...

Excellent points Joe.... Not all the price difference can be pinned on Disney greed.... much of it is simple supply and demand ...somebodypointed out how $$ the new euro DC are, and boy are you right! The fact is though, Disney knows they will only be sailing a handful of sailing dates...

Yes, there are definitely some ships being produced that are geared to try and win the "family" market. The 2 lines that come to mind are Royal Caribbean and Carnival. Now with that said it is important to note..... If you go to LA there are some great parks beside Disneyland (knott's...

As I remember, this trail between Jambo and Kidani is about 1/2 mile.

Awesome! We have been looking forward to doing this for awhile now. That is youngest DD's 11th birthday and would be a great way to celebrate!

It is stopped for now, but they have anounced the plan to do it again sometime in the spring. I just called to see if they are booking yet (we want to do it in March) but it is still listed as TBA.

MontyMon, you are definitely not alone. This is a story that is all too often described. When we go to a place and spend large amounts of $$ we rightfully have certain expectations. The truth is though, you can pick the restaruant in WDW... just pick one... and someone somewhere will...

I think you are thinking about the anounced Fantasyland remodel. It isn't so much that each princess will get their own castle, but more like they will each get their own uniqe areas that reflect their individual theming, and will include some great meet n greet opportunities. If you do a...

There has been some good descriptions so far of the ones we've encountered over the years, but let me summarize... 1) Some folks go to Disney expecting an amusement park, and it isn't. We always try to describe it to friends as an "amazement" park. Fun, colorful, but not necessarily...

We had a similar experience at CRT this last August. It was the first time we had taken our DD's there, and it was nice (they enjoyed it), but wasn't really very "magical" like I was hoping for being in the castle and the $$. It definitely sounds like the better time for CRT is breakfast or...

These are good, but you could possibly also include Legoland, Sea World, and the Zoo in San Diego. It is a little bit of a drive, but not much more than it would be to Magic Mountain from Anaheim.

I am not sure what price range you are thinking, but my wife bought me a special titanium Mickey watch (made by Skagen) when we were on a DC for our 20th anniversay. They now sell it online at Disney for $185 I love my watch, it is very nice and the Mickey is subtle so I can wear it with a...

I have to say I lke this too... I absolutely LOVE the private entrance from the GCH into DCA in California.

I had a beard for many years and always kept it close cut and clean. I never had probs with kids. I do have a good friend, however, who worked in a childcare industry. He grew out a mountain man beard, and started seeing kids react differently. When he trimmed it down, he had no more probs...

It is truly one of those "personal choice" kind of deal, but for us, we LOVE trtying new ones. The last 2 trips we actually split our stay between 2 resorts just so we could check out the other resorts. Trying Beach Club and AKL Kidani (for 2nd time) in March! We definitely have our...
