From New Jersey We drive from just outside of Philadelphia - in 12 hours we usually stop at Kingston, GA. There are several hotels there - Hampton Inn being one of them. This is only about 1 mile from the Florida border, and the next morning we are there before you know it. Since you're 2...

Anyone have any input on what would be a better day to visit MK - Sat or Sun? How about Epcot? We're checking in on Friday, and oldest daughter has to return on Monday, so that limits our days with her at those two parks. Thanks!! :)

Has anyone stayed at the Radisson resort parkway lately? I was considering staying there 2 nights before checking in at Old Key West. Good, bad, indifferent, anyone have any views? Thanks

ditto I'm not crazy about the new web site - period. I think the old one was much easier to get information, and the resort options were easier to get to. The "new" ticketing????? I'm sure Disney is making money on it. :hammer:

Member :) members since 10/93. 260 points OKW (wish we had more) - our FAVORITE dvc resort!!!

:slurp: For a number of years we just do our DVC grocery shopping at Goodings. Seems to me a short time ago there was a thread reagrding cheaper places to shop, still really close to Disney. Publix comes to mind. Can someone confirm that it's good and give location/directions please? Any...

Wow What airline are you flying? We live in S. Jersey and Newark would not be that far of a stretch for us if the price is right!

:animwink: put the money out for the Poly concierge - you won't be disappointed. You will actually save money on meals there! And the view is the same as GF if you wish, lagoon. Concierge is better at Poly than GF - more variety, more substance. You can always walk or monorail over to GF if...

:wave: We've done this twice so far, once check in was a breeze, not too much longer than a hotel check in. Longer lines of course, so the waiting is what does it. Once was a LONG wait - cause: passengers in line WITHOUT their paper filled out. Then they try to get the attention of the other...

: :p Has anyone stayed at the Poly - concierge since it underwent rehab recently? Really interested in knowing if the "food/snack" selection has stayed the same. What about the rooms since they've been re-done? Thanks for any input!! Going in August and contemplating adding a few nights there!!

:wave: Can anyone direct me to finding AP discounts for this August? Want to know if it will be worth our while to get one. Thanks!!

biking We have taken our bikes to Disney on several occasions. Old Key West, locked the bikes to a building pole, right outside our door. Of course we were on a ground floor that year. We were there over a week and not once did anyone bother us about them being in the way, etc. Wilderness...

here's a note for your mom - if it's really inconvenient for her to get around, request a wheel chair at guest services. We did that several times at different resorts before my mom actually resigned herself to the fact that medically she needs one and purchased one. (she suffers with...

you will LOVE FW - it is just a unique, very cool experience. We've been in August several times. Bugs are not a problem. Transportation - so so. You absolutely must rent a golf cart if you plan on spending time at the resort, it makes it so much easier to get around, and it's fun. At least...

my vote is the Poly - you'll feel like you left disney and embarked on a trip to a land far away - your "perK' being the view of the Magic Kingdom. I understand your problem, we always have a hard time chosing between the two. If you can spring for concierge, DO IT! The food alone at the Poly...

anyone ever use Happy Limo? Any feedback would be appreciated.

:D We stayed at the Poly concierge room 2x within the last year and a half. They were not suites, I wasn't aware that they offered concierge suites. The concierge room was the same room as any other Poly room, other than the designated suites of course, sleeping 5 with a day bed. The...

I share your pain!! We ALWAYS drive (fromNJ) for the same reason - me. This August I decided to bite the bullet since we were taking guests with us (DVC members) to share the condo. Anyway, to make a long story short, I took Dramamine, and it did take the edge off without knocking me out...

type of hotel :animwink: we're those people who have tried every type. For us, we've been there so many times, Disneyworld has become our place to get away from it all and relax. Therefore, lately we've been chosing deluxe, because we tend to spend alot of time at the hotel, using the pools...

fultons/capt. jack :animwink: either way, you can't go wrong. The food is great at both places. It depends on the mood we're in - if we're looking for something laid back and casual, then it's the Captains. Looking for atmosphere a little more fancy, then it's Fultons. We particularly like...
