    Going to DL in Anaheim this Jan/Feb... what shall I do?

    I am amazed. I got a bit tired of squeezing through the tight spaces and went out letting the kids continue to go through... I'm simply amazed that they didn't see any of the things you mention. Don't know how we missed it, next time we will have to look closer for it.

    Going to DL in Anaheim this Jan/Feb... what shall I do?

    Where were the animatronics and effects in the pirate's lair? We were there this fall and I don't remember seeing any animatronic or any effects... was there a part of the island we missed?

    What happens when you don't plan?

    Exactly, if they were out to beat the system they wouldn't have given Disney 5 names for their reservation... and I suspect they would not have been caught if they were gaming the system because it would really be hard to determine who is staying in a room and who isn't unless you were going to...

    Where did all the hotel's gingerbread houses go???

    They aren't clueless... but like any major corporation the tides of change move very slowly... The first step in any down turn in earnings is for the business manager to claim it is a one time event... but things will improve... that will generally mean no change for at least another year. Next...

    Should we upgrade to CBR?

    I would suggest you might look at the Cabins at Fort Wilderness... they can comfortably handle all six of you in one cabin, which would be much cheaper than having to book to rooms at CBR. The general layout of them is a living room with a murphy bed on the wall... a back bedroom that has a bed...

    New cancelation policy

    If you are an AP then you dont' have the same cancellation policy. Unless they changed the AP policy to, you only lose 1 nights cost even if you cancel the day you were supposed to arrive.... in the past it was another good reason to have an AP.

    Okay, so how bad is it really...

    Christmas crowds also depend on what day Christmas falls on because that impacts when families start their trips. You are lucky this year because with Christmas on a Saturday it usually means schools wont let out for the weekend before Christmas they will be letting out mid-week... Don't...

    Pop Warner is here!!!

    Had the misfortune of being in a resort where they were once... The days prior to their arrival were nice, once they arrived it was utter hell to try and sleep, never have I experienced so much noise when I was trying to sleep at night. Good luck, and if it is bad the first night try to get...

    What's your favorite Monorail Resort?

    Contemp after the refurbishment it has the best rooms of the three... and better still it is close enough you can walk to the park if the trains aren't running, and when the trains are running and you are leaving the park after a long day it is the first stop to your bed.

    Best place to buy tickets

    I don't know what prices you got from the other sources, but I checked with AAA and the price for 6 day park hoppers was 296 for the adult ticket and 273 for the 10 and under ticket. You might also check with your local AAA office because when you buy your tickets through them you can often...

    Length of trip from airport to hotel

    You never know with the ME... we used it once and it was probably 3 hours from plane exit to hotel check-in... don't know what was happening but when we got down to the ME area it looked like everyone and his brother had decided to vacation there... So I would say don't make a reservation for a...

    NEW ROOM TYPES: Most Moderate Resorts, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Beach Club

    Anyone going to AKL in the summer should also be aware that the animals don't like the heat and you wont see hardly any during the daylight hours... and that there are viewing areas open to all guest on the Savannah side all the time... so don't think paying more will actually get you a better...

    Gear: Where Do You Draw The Line?

    Well... the sad fact is you can't get fast, sharp and wide zoom lenses that aren't expensive... You will likely have to make some decisions on what you can live with. I might start with the suggesting you look at how much money you have to throw away on your hobby. I know throw away doesn't...

    Build an argument for Universal over Disney

    Biggest reason is that after a half-dozen trips to Disney you realize that nothing ever changes... Sometimes, no matter how much you enjoy a steak dinner, if you eat it every time you have a night out... well eventually you need to try something different. While I have yet to even go to...

    Our First Ever Christmas Trip

    Although we heard lots of horror stories on the crowds, we didn't feel it was that bad the last time we were there at Christmas time... For that trip we were there from the 17th thru the 25th... I did note that as we got closer to the 25th you did start to notice the crowds starting to grow... I...

    Disney Photopass question

    I have only one question... why is the Disneyland photopass so much cheaper? Just came back from there in October and was amazed to find that the price was 59.99 for the CD with all the photos... I thought we had paid more when we used them at Disneyworld, but couldn't remember the prices...

    Now I dislike the Tronorail even more

    I don't know, maybe it was because I into computers and found the whole premise as insulting the viewers intelligence.

    AP rates for 2011???

    Agreed, we only buy 1 if the trip we are taking will benefit from it... that used to happen quit frequently, but the last 2 years we never saw a benefit to the AP, they just never seemed to have the discount available when we need them.

    Now I dislike the Tronorail even more

    So long as they are doing remake/sequels to bad movies... Maybe they could do a remake of Unidentified Flying Oddball... it was so bad it was actually kind of funny as I recall.

    Animal Kingdom Lodge buses

    From my perspective if I'm staying in a deluxe resort where I'm paying 3 times the price as someone in a value resort, I expect to see better service... and that means I better not have to wait in line 3 times as long as someone that paid a third of the price I paid. Does the service always...
