My 2 cents If you've been to WDW, the DL will be familiar, yet different. First, DL is bigger than the MK, and it is not obvious that all rides are not the same. The PotC ride is way better in DL (my opinion) than WDW, and very different. There is the Matterhorn if you feel the need to...

EPCOT Wish list 1.) drop the wand... 2.) SpaceShip Earth old AT&T pavillion with the glass floor used to freak out my son... BRING IT BACK! 3.) As much as EPCOT is about the future and technology, I think it should have an area dedicated to traditional crafts so that people can see how...

Did Solo once... When I was just out of college, I planned my first "real vacation" to DisneyWorld as a soloist. At the time, I was a loner, but I couldn't imagine going to DisneyWorld alone anymore. In my experience, I think solo travel can have it's advantages. You only need to appease...

Yeah... I do. Disney "offsite" < Disney "onsite". steve

Loosin' myself As a veteran of the mouse, the magic is in immersing myself in my family. As a busy professional, I often don't get the quality time I'd like with them. At DisneyWorld, Walt's vision is realized millions of times every year- it is a place for the whole family to spend time...

Man from NJ sickened by Disney water... Every time I go. I started budgeting $10/day for bottles, just so I don't end up drinking the "pool water" you get from the fountains... Surprised that the water hasn't killed someone yet. How much chlorine can you ingest before you keel over...

Dining plan saves lots of money... versus not using it! I priced a vacation the week before 8/13, and it's about $800 more than if I go the week of the dining plan. We used it last year, and it was better than we expected. In the end, you can use the "points" any way you'd like- one per...

Technically I think Rock N Rollercoaster inverts twice Everyone knows the initial launch loop, but there's also a corkscrew, heartline roll, and you do briefly find yourself upside down. Steve

No, you are not... :sohappy: I had the same discussion with my wife when my kids started getting "old enough" to walk. Sure, I get stuck carrying them for short periods, but when given the "let's go back to the hotel or ride Space Mountain one more time" decision, you can bet they'd both...

Three Worst Attractions Ever 1.) stitch- I hated Mission to Mars, but I always laughed because I understood that there was a time when it was high tech... Alien never made any sense (what's the Disney connection?). I was trying to undo my seatbelt halfway through Stitch because it was so bad...

Joining the heretics... Given the choice of only doing 3 out of 4 parks, I'm pretty sure my crew would rank the MK #4. Crowds, ok food, ok rides... We spend the least time there... and I have an 8 year old son and a 5 year old daughter! She'd probably put up a stink about the castle if we...

Thanks to those who have replied so far 1.) Free Food program is pretty darn cool- did it last September! Saved so much money, I booked an "impulse trip" with the kids 2 weeks after school started... But she turns 40 on 8/9, and spending your 40th at Disney lessens the sting 2.) Hoop De...

A few of my experiences... My company rented out the Magic Kingdom afterhours about 4 years ago, and we had about 2000 people in Tomorrowland. Probably only 100 of us even cared about the rides, so my wife stayed with the baby and my son and I rode Buzz Lightyear something like 6 times in a...

Most of the backlot tours have age minimums and 6 month old twins won't cut it... Steve

This summer, my wife and I turn 40. While I will be hiking Half Dome in Yosemite in July, my wife has left it up to me to figure out how we will spend her 11th anniversary of her 29th birthday. (which is the only way it is referred to around my house...) We have 4 kids, 2 who are 8 and 5...

Dinner in Epcot with someone... Wife, Mother in Law, kids, and myself sat down at the Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant (name escapes me...) and the other family at our table had two teenage girls. At some point during the evening, this kids walked in with two girlfriends and the two girls at...

Second the multiple births special pricing! Just had twin boys... Also need more options for families with 6. 4 kids can double up in a bunk bed an awful long time (until they're teens!), but the fire warden says no! The idea of booking 2 rooms for me and the family doesn't sit well, but...

Sorry to say, it's my favorite. I also like the Mezzo mix. Vegitabeta- now that's nasty. (and even worse is the watermelon) S

I'm a big fan of Epcot. My first visit was on Spring Break in 1989 or 1990. My first "vacation" was to DisneyWorld. Both times, I chose Epcot to visit. I have been back to WDW 13 times since, and have been lucky enough to see "it all'. Captain Eo was awesome. (and documentary proof that...

Millenium Village Ok, so I started something... I'm from NJ, so that's nothing new:lol: So let's continue the new country discussion on the following basis: What country from Millenium Village would you like to see get it's own Epcot land? My vote is for: Africa (I know it's not a...
