let me just start by saying thank you to everyone for posting their knowledge and experiences here.
I went to WDW several times as a child. My aunt is a former cast member. The last time I was there was about 15 years ago with my family (I was 16.) We were a large group, and we went to pretty much everything, sparing no expense.
fast forward 15 years, I'm now 31. I finally have put away enough money to be able to afford a trip for myself and my girlfriend to WDW.
We're going for 5 nights, 4 days in park, staying at the swan sept 23-28. I was going to rent a car, but thanks to this forum I discovered the quicksilver tours car service, whom I will be booking for our trip from MCO to the Swan and back.
the rest of the trip we plan to utilize the buses and monorail.
the first day we arrive we plan to spend getting accustomed to being on the resort and playing a round of mini golf.I also want to rent a paddle boat and take the girlfriend out on the water.
how realistic are the walking distances from the swan? the website says that fantasia mini golf is "easy" walking distance? I also understand you can walk to EPCOT and DHS ? how far are we talking?
We also "plan" to knock out DHS and AK in most of one day. Monday, Sept 24th DHS has EMH until midnight, so we are going to do ak the early part of the day and DHS at night.
the other 3 days we are going to spend park hopping!!
backpacks/purses are you allowed to carry them on rides, or are there lockers outside every ride like at busch gardens?
what is disney's policy on E-cigs? do you have to be in the designated smoking areas to use them?
