Hey Guys!, Its been a while, planning for trip in 2004!

[RLMickey]

Hey, I have not posted on here in so long, but happy to be back. My friend and I have decided to take a trip to Disney World in March of 2004. AS of now we are thinking about the Coronado Springs, or Pop Century if they hurry up and open it Any comments on Coronado? I have always wanted to stay there, the landscape looks great. I was thinking of the Ranchos or the Casitas. Also does anyone know if you can get Disney Autograph books online anywhere? I wanted to get mine before I went, trying to save money. Well I just wanted to say hey guys, hope things are good, looking forward to taking part in the board again!:sohappy:

I think that I read that coronado springs is getting the pool refurbed, but by 2004 it will probaly be done. I have no clues about the autograph books. I know i saw one in a disney store the other day. You might also want to check ebay or something.

I just went back and read about the rehad to the pool and it said that it will be done in febuary of 2002. So I think that Coronado would be a great place to stay. Ive never stayed there but most Disney hotels are great.

I would think that buying autograph books on-line from Disney would cost more when you added postage. From e-bay it might be a different story.

We have always found them at the first place you come to right inside the gate--really didn't take much time to buy them.

There are long, fat pens also available with the books--much easier for Eeyore to hold--poor dear has hooves rather than fingers, you know. I looked around and found some fat (but not overly long) pens at home. Retractable rather than something with a cap is much better, IMHO. (If my 8-year old would forget to snap the pen, often the characters would do it on his head. He got a big kick out of that.)

Cool thanks a lot for the tip. I did the autograph book thing when I was a kid, and I figured I wanted to do it again this time. Granted I will be 21 when I go, but oh well, dong childish things makes it fun some times. :lol:

We're all big kids when we go to WDW !

If you have a dollar store near you, I would try there. I have a customer who went there for the autograph books. (this will save you a significant amount of money)

We just went in January and bought our autograph book in the gift shop at the resort along with the pen!!

 

[RLMickey]

Yeah, I guess I am just going to get my book and pen once I get there.

Has anyone used the Passporter Guide Book that comes out every year? I have seen them for a few years, and almost bought one when I went last time, but decided not to. I have been enough times and know enough that I don't even need guide books, but they are always fun to have. I have just wanted to know if this is a good book, do poeple really use the little folders they have for each day?

Hello

Yes on one occassion. Several years ago when I was married to my 2nd wife, she thought we should get one for the WDW trip we were planning. She is much more organized than I am. I personally don't really do that type of planning. I like to just make sure that I have the guaranteed airfare, the guaranteed reservations for the hotel and transportation to the different parks and after that I like to wing it.

 

[RLMickey]

That is like the person I am going with. It drives him insane that I like to have pretty much everything planned, but that is how I am...:lol: I like to have all the details worked out before I leave, but doesn't mean that I am not open to change and doing something not planned when we are there.
