[Jaclynfett]

Hi Everybody,
I'm new to posting but have been lurking for months. Our last trip was Dec. 2006 and we probably won't be back until at least 2008. This year we're buying our first home and I can't wait to put some Disney influence into it.
Nice to talk to you all,
Jaclyn

[CdnMouseEars]

Yet another newbie! After much lurking I finally decided to join up. :thumbsup2
I'm a 20 y/o Canadian looking forward to a DLR vacation with a friend in June! Can't wait!

[HoneyMom99]

Hi all!!!!

I too am a newbie here, but not to WDW!!!

I found y'all searching for tips on tickets. I found the thread with all kinds of tips and signed up right away.

Me, DH and DS along with my Big Sis and DN will be there in June. It will be my 4th visit and DS 2nd.

We have not told DS anything. He is going to be so excited. :mickeyjum

[Kerrigwen]

[iluvdisney01]

Hello everyone!!!! I've already posted a few things. I just want to say that I'm so glad I found this board!!!!! It's so informative and you guys are great!!! :dance3:

[DLVixen]

I found this site a few months ago and I've decided to finally say Hi! I cannot say what an invaluable amount of information I have found on this board, it's going to be a real life saver on my next Disneyland vacation, compared to my last (first) one where we were clueless (didn't even know what a fastpass was! :lmao: ) but thanks to this board I go armed to my next trip with tons of hints & time savers I would have never known about without you guys. This place is Awesome! :cheer2:

[dannyzmom]

Hi my name is Debbie. I just found this site. I look for to chatting soon!:cool1:

[Zovistograt]

Hi, I'm new to these forums. I am usually found frequenting the Nintendo NSider Forums, but this place seems more knowledgable about WDW stuff so I thought it would be a good idea to register.

Teenager, male, going to WDW in less than a week.

[MontanaGal]

Hello there. We're planning our next WDW trip for December 2008. It'll be our first time with our little boy (will be 2 yrs. old then), 3rd trip with our daughter (will be 4 yrs. then).

Any suggestions on where to find the best "how to" area of the DIS boards? (ie. How to post in general, how to add photos, etc.)

[tpmljm]

Hello everyone. New to DIS. Family of five making what will be our third trip in July!!:banana:

Can't wait!!

PS....this is my first post.

[bluedolph1n]

Hello,

I am also new here, I'm from The Netherlands. My family and I are planning a trip to Florida and ofcourse Disneyworld next year at the end of April. I was already lurking here, but now it is time to say hello. :)

[gordonandjackie]

[Philharmagic]

Hello everyone! :wave2:

Let me introduce myself to you.
I'm a French teacher and journalist, huge fan of Disney. I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of Disney people, and I regularly talk with them about their latest creations.

To share all that, I created a blog, media-magic.blogspot.com ,which is devoted to Disney news, told by the creators themselves.

I treat all domains of the Walt Disney Company, from movies to parks.

My last article is an extensive interview of Disneyland Paris show director Katy Harris, about the new Once Upon A Dream Parade.

If you can read French or if you can use Google's translation tools, please, feel free to visit my site.
This is no advertising since it's not my job. Just a labor of love, in order to share my passion with others, Disney fans just like you!

So, hope to see you soon on this board and on Media Magic!

[IlovemythreeC's]

Hi, I wanted to say hello to everyone! I Love Disney like the rest of you and have been reading your posts for the past few days and decided to join in the fun.

I hope everyone has a magical day today!

[Bondfan531]

Just wanted to introduce myself! This is my first post, my name is Chris and my husband and 6 yr daughter (will turn 7 the day before we leave for WDW!) will be making our 2nd trip to the resort 6/1/07 and staying to 6/8/07. I'm glad to have found this board!! :)

[IlovemythreeC's]

Hey Chris,

Oh that is so exciting, your trip is really close. Are you going to let him celebrate his birthday there? That would be so much fun. Where are ya'll going to stay?

[rafable]

Hi,

What I can't seem to find is rules on how to rent points. Do I just handle the payments and reservations myself for people that want to rent points?

Roberta

[Bondfan531]

We are SUPER excited right now and it's still less than 2 months away. :rotfl2: Yep, daughter will be celebrating her birthday there. I told her we couldn't have a birthday party at home and she got all pouty and I asked her what she wanted more, a b-day party at home or a trip to WDW???:rolleyes: She chose the trip, naturally. I was like "Yeah, that's what I thought" :rotfl2:

[Bondfan531]

Hey Chris,

Oops, forgot to answer your other question. We'll be staying at All Star Movies. I booked a standard room. With all the walking we'll be doing that week, a little extra won't kill us. ;)

Oh the movies resort is my absolute favorite. It holds so many memories for my family. It is driving me crazy to wait until December to go, but Christmas is going to be so fun and we will be there on my b-day, Dec. 4.

I am so glad that your trip is coming soon! Did you add the dining plan?

[Bondfan531]

Yep, got the dining plan with some convincing of a friend of mine in PA. :thumbsup2 I've been reading all those great dining reviews in the dining forum and I just cannot wait. This is all I think about these days. :hippie:

[Bondfan531]

BTW, my birthday is also in December--the 19th! :wizard:

[IlovemythreeC's]

That is so much fun!

Have you made your dining reservations yet? If you have, where all are you going?

[Bondfan531]

We have made our ADR's! I booked the trip 1/16/07 and had the reservations done by 1/20/07 :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Saturday, 6/2--we won't get in until later that afternoon, so we'll just hang around the hotel, play in the pool and eat at the food court.

Sunday, 6/3--Magic Kingdom: 10:05 breakfast ADR in Crystal Palace--We ate Bkfst here in 2004 and loved it and I decided that would be the first thing we did in the parks again. We'll probably go early for some rides, then check in for our adr then play some more afterwards.

Monday, 6/4--Animal Kingdom: 8.00 am breakfast ADR in Donald's Breakfastosaurus. I was thinking we'd do our CS meal at Earl of Sandwich that evening, but now that I'm thinking, we may just do a late CS lunch at Tusker House instead and pay oop for EoS at Dowtown Disney.

Tuesday, 6/5--Epcot: 6:50 pm ADR for Coral Reef. Now I'm wondering if we made a mistake with this one with all the mixed reviews they're receiving. :confused: I have a very very picky almost 7 year old who has to be considered in every meal we plan, so I thought their menu looked friendly enough for her.

Wednesday, 6/6--MGM STudios: 6:00 pm ADR at Sci-Fi. My daughter is soooooo looking forward to this one from what she's seen online.

Thursday, 6/7--Magic Kingdom again: 12:05 pm lunch ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table. I ordered a cake to be delivered to the table as well for her birthday. Can't wait to see the look on her face!!! :love:

I thought on our MGM day to eat lunch at Rosie's All American Cafe, but I think hubby and daughter want to eat at Toy Story's Pizza Planet. :eek: I'm open to suggestions for other cs meals and snacks. :goodvibes

[Bondfan531]

I know they're not the most ambitious ADR's but we're a finicky bunch of rednecks, my daughter being the worst :rotfl2:

We only got the MYW base package with dining, no park hoppers. I think we'll be pooped enough without the extra hopper expense.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I am so excited for your family. I cannot imagine how excited that your daughter is going to be when they bring her the cake:) Oh my goodness!

I have never eaten at the Coral Reef. I heard that it is amazing! I plan to try to eat there next trip. Please let me know how you like it. The Crystal Palace is my absolute favorite! We always go there first.

That is cool that ya'll are hanging out at the hotel the first day. There are so many fun things to do at the Movies.

Are you planning to take your daughter to the bippity boppity boutique?

[Bondfan531]

Nah, not doing the BBB. This is JMO, but I don't like all the makeup and stuff on a barely 7 year old girl. Bothers me for some reason. She'll have her crown and princess shirt on when we do CRT though. Her Cinderella dress no longer fits her though.

[Bondfan531]

I think it'll be fun and we can walk around and take pictures and stuff with all the fun props. :dance3:

Yes, I understand how you feel about the makeup. For some reason it does not bother me, but I respect your opinion:)

I think your dining reservations are GREAT! I have three children, Colby (11), Cassidy (6) and Caleb (1). So I certainly understand picky eaters:)

Speaking of picky eaters, I am so glad that you did not choose Akerhaus. (I am talking about the dinner, I think that the breakfast is excellent). We end up having dinner there every year, because there are 4 or 5 princesses there. I am sure that the food is good for people who like that kind of food, but for us it is not too appetizing. Yet, I must say that the atmosphere is absolutely amazing.

On the last visit to Akerhaus we failed to realize that Ariel was waiting at the front for pictures and signatures. We thought she would come around to the table. On the way out I mentioned it in passing to our server that we did not get to see Ariel and they told us that she was actually gone. (I was not upset at all, we realized that it was our fault). She asked us to stay and before we knew it Ariel walked out and said, "Cassidy, I thought I missed you!" Our daughter was AMAZED. She said Ariel must have remembered me from last year. That was an unbelievable moment for her that she still has not forgotten.

I love those magical Disney moments.

Oh my gosh, that Ariel story is too cute. What a great dinner!

What is the crystal palace like? Why would you say it is your favorite? More for the kids?

I love the Crystal Palace for so many reasons! First, I think it is the best buffet as far as the food goes. There is also something about the atmosphere that I like so much. The restaurant is so beautiful and I love being able to view the castle while we eat. Also, it is a tradition that we go there on our first evening there and I think that is a part of it too.

Not to mention, the pooh characters:) They all come to the table and it is so much fun.

Just saying hi! I just joined after lurking for quite a while. I've been to WDW many times in the past, but this July I'll be going with my bf and I'm super excited! =D :yay:

[Mimmy Mouse]

I'm new to the board, so please bear with me if I am in the wrong room. Trying to get a good deal on going to WDW in October to hook up with my grandchildren that will be there. I have looked at the Disney site and also asked for a quote from Dream Vacations. Anybody have any suggestions as to the best way to book? Thanks!

[MJ32]

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Thanks CCC, I may just have to try it out. Im not a big buffet guy, I usually go more for the sit-down type of place. Though you did say it is a different style of buffet. Are all the buffets similar? I do love a well-stockked dessert tray/buffet...

[realmainers]

Hi
I am new here and have been so excited to read everything. One thing I am wondering about is...Is there anyway to find out when someone posts a new addition to their trip report? I love reading them! I did get an email when there were replies posted to a thread that I had written on. Is that what you do? Just reply then you will get an email?
Thanks.

Just like to say wow and thanks for giving everyone this place online to keep the magic alive :).

I only have one small question. I'm sure it's written somewhere and I just haven't found it yet. So please forgive my asking. At what point will I be permitted to post links and pictures? I get an error code that appears stating I have to few posts. Can someone please tell me what the magic number is to allow posting of link pics etc?

Thanks so much. My family and I look forward to sharing with you all.

Welcome everyone! In case you haven't experienced it yet, you can subscribe to a thread by posting on it, then you will get those emails sent to you. Some people will just post "Subscribing!" when they want to read a thread but don't have anything particular to say.

I believe after 10 posts, you can post pictures. I could be wrong though, I've only been on Disboards for a few months.

I'm new here also. Just wanted to know about booking a cruise. Do I want a room on the seventh or second deck?

hey everyone - I've been lurking for a few months and I figured it's time to come out of hiding. I'm learning a ton, including about the free dining in September. I'm booked for the 15th-22nd at Pop!!!

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi Everyone!! This is my first post on DIS and I have a quick question. I saw as I was reading post that almost everyone has TickerFactory timers, so I made one to!!! But I can't get it in my signature, I was hopeing some could tell me how to do that???!!!!

The tickerfactory code needs to be tweeked just a bit to make it appear on here. After you create your ticker look and copy all text you see starting with http:// through .png. This information is located in each of the different boxes below. Then in your signature on disboards place that information between and and you should be set. If this doesn't make sense to you or you want more help feel free to PM here or message me on yahoo. I'll be happy to help you out more.

Hello, I am new to the Dis Discussion forum and I don't really know how to navigate around? Any tips for a real newby and I've tried to access the members list but cannot.

Thanks a bunch :confused:

[Dis Fan Dad]

Well you have converted another one, I hope you are proud of yourselves:thumbsup2

I have been lurking on these boards longer than I care to admit, and I thought it was about time I jumped in and got my feet wet. Thanks to all of you who have provided me with great entertainment with your trip reports, and all the valuable tips I have picked up along the way. These boards are a wealth of information.

We have a short vist to the World coming up in May 9th through the 11th at the CBR and we are all very excited. The "WE" is myself DH 35, DW 33 our DD 5 and DS 3. Last visit was in April of 2005, when we stayed for a week at ASMO so we are a little overdue.

Thanks again for all the great information and entertainment, I,m happy to finally get my feet wet on the DIS Boards. Now I just have to tell my Wife I finally joined, I can hear it now "you are such a Dork" :rotfl: She enjoys Disney but I am the obsessive planner in the family :thumbsup2

Hi I am new here. Just joined yesterday. I have been to Disney World four times. The last two times I went with my family, DH, and my two DS. We are planning a trip for November/December of 2009 so my DD can go for her first time. Getting very excited for that.

:banana:

[StPeteDisneyers]

hi...just testing the ticker... now please continuing doing... whatever it is you were doing :)

[RobbinsDad]

First time here, family and I are becoming Disney freaks, glad to know we're not alone. :)

[Along4theRide]

Nope def not alone!! :thumbsup2

[claribella]

Oh so this is where I introduce myself.I come from another Disney board (want to forget about it really) and just joined today. I had joined a while back but I'm going to start posting now. This is a great board with lots of stuff. I like the photos sections as I take alot of Disneyland and DCA photography.

Glad to be here.

[penguincrazie]

I have come out of lurkdom (is that a word?!?). I have been around for a few years on this board though.

I have been here reading post/discussions for some time and finally jumped on board...looking forward to being an active part of such a great community!:woohoo:

[CapCom]

Glad to be aboard.

Long time Disney fan, first time poster on this particular board. I've abandoned the folks over at "Laughing Place" in favor of the Disboards in hopes of finding some more stimulating conversation and to use what is (in my opinion) a superior message forum.

I generally get down to WDW 2 (sometimes 3) times a year, so I'm looking forward to offering some input and help to other posters here.

But, as usual, I'm sure I'll take away more than I give...

:thumbsup2

well, i'm finally diving in after lurking for a couple months.

Hi! Just wanted to say HI to everyone. This is my first time visiting this site, a wonderful lady that I met through EBAY directed me here and it is just wonderful!! We are going to Disney for the weekend on May 19. This will be our 3rd trip as a family. We are lucky enough to only be 5 hrs away, so we are hoping to go quite often!! My two girls (6 1/2 and 3 1/2) are so excited that I had to make a countdown calender where each morning we cross a day off so that they can see how many days are left!!

Hi everyone,

I'm new here but have been reading as our trip grew closer. We leave on Saturday the 12th @ noon!!! I think I am more excited than my wife and daughter (7):woohoo: . A little worried about the weather report but have also checked and historically there has been little rainfall during this week since 2001.

CAN'T WAIT.

:hourglass 2 days and counting...

[Madisonsmom926]

Thanks so much for the post!! Have a great time when you go, I know that you will!!!

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Well, I'm a long time past when I should have done this (it's only been 13 days) but I'm still sort of a noob here. I've been to WDW twice in the last 14 months after having moved to the South from California to be with my wife. We're planning on going to WDW this fall and we'll be more firm in our plans once we know whether or not my DW will continue to work after the birth of our first child. Thanks.

--Mr. DB

[Ghosts64]

Finally jumped into the pool.:yay:

Myself, DW, DS (8) and DD(6) are heading to AKL this Christmas. We stayed offsite in Oct 05, and in Dec 06 at the WL. I'm the planner and my wife loves that she can show up, enjoy the parks, dine, relax, and not fret the details. Such pressure on me.

Finally joined up after learning a lot from the everyone on the boards. I am a computer jockey by trade, what better use for computers than to research our upcoming trips.

I look forward to many more posts and sharing info!

I am looking into a 12/30-01/06 trip to WDW. We will stay at POP and would like any ideas on celebrating New Years with a 9 and 13 year old. Will crowds begin to lessen after New Years at the parks? Will H20 parks be an option at this time of year? Should we rent a car? Thanks for all your help. I am a newbie at DIS and really appreciate the helpful info on these threads! I am so glad there really are so many nice people out there!:hug:

Welcome to you too, Carole - I see you have already found your way to the UK boards. :thumbsup2

[lovebugmom]

I was wondering what you "experienced" Disney folks could tell me about booking at the best price for a trip over memorial day week? We decided spur of the moment to go to Disney and now I am in a tizzy trying to get info on where to book and how and how to get the best price on tickets and room. We would like to stay at the Disney Movies hotel or the Sports one (value accomodations, as we will be bringing two kids). Any assistance you could give me would be great since I am sensing I am way in over my head!!!

[WaltzingMatilda]

Hey y'all! I have posted before but just wanted to make a formal hello.

How do you post your own Thread? I have been replying to other people's Thread to ask my question I would like to post and ask questions in my own Thread sometimes

Thanks :)

Just wanted to say hi, this is my 2nd post, but I'll be heading to WDW this September. DISboards has been a real blessing, everyone who contributes is great, so I hope to return to favor as much as I cat.

Hiya! I finally registered here after reading the boards for about a month now. I'm from northern CA and have been to Disneyland probably twelve times or so but never Disney World. This August my mom and I have decided to take a trip out there to check it out. Disneyland has always been a mom and me trip. Anyway I figured I'd sign up here so that I can ask questions instead of searching and searching hoping to find something that just might answer it. Uh...I think that is all for now? I am very very VERY excited about our upcoming trip!! :yay:

[HeidiFantasia]

Hello all! I am new to the boards but a long time HUGE Disney fan. I have been to Disneyland many times. I have just had a trip there with my kisd and they are finally old enough to enjoy almost all of it!

[kthompson]

I am new to the boards and would like to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing 123 points. I had scheduled a vacation for my sister and she cancelled this weekend. The points must be used by November 30, 2007. My family would love to go but I am almost 6 months pregnant and can't travel. Any information on how I can go about doing this?

[DisneyDame27]

[crdeere]

Hey all--I have been to DisneyWorld many times as an adult. Also as a teacher we came several times for the annual "senior trip". I am planning a trip for April of 08 with my youngest neice who will be 8. She came with me and her mom (not a park person) her older brother and my brother and his daughter in 06. We had a good time but she missed some of the fun things I had done with my nephew and neice on a previous trip. I hope navigating the board will be easy. :)

[Vicky1707]

Hi, Im new to the diss board, can anyone direct me to any instruction on how to use the forum, I believe I cant reply on the forum for a while?

[Artoo]

Just wanted to officially say "hello". I've been on here about a week, but have never come onto this thread (too busy checking out great WDW photos!). I love this board! Not only is it very helpful and full of great ideas, but everyone on here seems so so nice!!! :goodvibes

[Vicky1707]

Hi Artoo,
Thanks for the intro. I see you are getting married soon, we got married Sep 05 with Florida honeymoon, 2 weeks in Orlando and a week in St Petes. We had planned a full disney wedding originally but some family couldnt make it so we changed our plans and got married the day before we flew.
Also we were meant to stay at Port Orleans but just before we went they told us the swimming pools were all being renovated, so we ended up at the World Centre Marriott and I have to say it was absolutely fantastic! Its a conference hotel but it didnt bother us, we had complete privacy and it was an amazing hotel and setting and we were treated really well. It was so good we wish we had stayed for the full three weeks and not bothered with St Petes, it was rubbish, apart from a few really good retaurants.

Following our honeymoon, we had a little bundle of joy nine months later so we havnt been back since, but we are booked now to go for Christmas and New year this year and we are bursting with excitement! And the DIS board has really helped us plan our trip.

:goodvibes

[RockMouse]

Hi Everybody. I've been visiting for years now and thought I'd join so that I could participate in this GREAT forum.:cool1:

[Mouse House]

Just wanted to say "Hi". Like the previous poster I have been lurking for what seems like forever. Love the boards and the wonderful information.
Thanks

[Lewanc]

HELLO! I'm new. Looking forward to talking to people who are just as excited as I am about going to Disney. I'm sure all of my friends are sick of hearing about it!:banana:


Hi Jasmine -- Just wanted to say Welcome. You have definitely come to the right place to share you excitement about Walt Disney World. :cool1: Members of the disboards love to talk about Disney, and never tire of the subject.

As you read the different threads, you will find most people are repeat visitors, year after year, and some with multiple visits per year. I too am a repeat offender as I live about 25 mintues from the "World", and find myself there a couple of times or more per month, even if to do nothing more than dine and enjoy the scenery.

People who don't love Disney as most disboards members do, can't understand the enthusiasm and excitement shared by Disney Lovers. Many think Disney is just the parks and geared to children, but Disney has so much to offer for adults too. Most disboards members agree that once you get bitten by the Disney bug, there is no remedy or cure. Most find themselves planning the next vacation quite often before the current one has ended. You will find disboards members to be very friendly, and will go out of their way to answer questions that will help you have a great vacation.

Hope you have a wonderful time on your September trip, the weather shouldn't be as hot and humid as it is now. Have a great day!!!

[Jigawatt]

After many attempts by my wife (stitch27 on this board) to get me to register here... here I am!

I just finally made my first Disney World trip back in May for my honeymoon... and fell in love with it more than I ever thought I could. I'm 27 years old, and felt more like a giddy 7 year old at times. :yay: She alwys thought it was a travesty that I had never been there, so she suggested that we honeymoon there, and I'm so glad that we did.

Already looking forward to going back!

[baloo's girl]

Hello All,
I've been lurking here for about 2 weeks! I am amazed and totally obsessed with this board. And let me say, the people here are so friendly and helpful.

I am planning a trip for early December '08 for my family. Dh thinks I'm a bit nuts with planning so early. Every day I have to give him updates about new things I've learned about Disney and the planning process. LOL

I've been to Disneyworld 3 times- '89, '94, and '98. And I've been to Disneyland once '00. This will be my first trip with dh and children-who will be 6 1/2 and 3 1/2 in 12/08. It's going to be hard to wait that long. But the planning process will keep me busy until then.

I'm sure I'll have a gazillion questions before all is said and done.

Thanks for providing a haven for us disney fans!

[mnmrmustard]

Hey Jigawatt, welcome to the boards! I'm sure WDW was a fantastic place to honeymoon at :)

And Hello to Baloo's Girl! No, you're not nuts for starting your planning so early. We're going in Jan of '08 and I've been planning since the fall of 2006 :rotfl2: :thumbsup2

[ginnibobb]

Hi to everyone!
We have been scoping out the boards for about a year. My sisterinlaw turned us on to it. There is sooo much great information here, I dont know how we would have planned our trip without it! Our family lives in PA and will be taking our first disneyworld trip in September and I cant wait!

Hi Michelle -- Welcome to the Boards -- You did a great job, post looks good. :thumbsup2 Information obtained from the various threads are very helpful, and everyone is quite friendly. Ask any question on your mind, post as often as needed - someone will have the information. Most who post here are Disney repeat offenders who have contracted the "Disney Virus" which is untreatable, but controlled by talking with others who have the same love for Disney. :love: Again, welcome to the group.

Have a great pre-fall vacation!!

[Girldreamer02]

I just wanted to say hello to all the DIS members. I have been a lurker for a while and just recently joined and I must say that it is addicting. I love all the advise and I hope that I can contribute also. Thanks!!

Ditto...I was a lurker as well and I am totally addicted...I've only been posting for three or four days and I can't stop. Welcome! :banana:

[Ricmiclvsthemouse]

Thank you Lewanc! It's nice to be welcomed personally. :goodvibes:
I guess my next step is to find a forum, which I understand is basically a grouping of threads (specific questions) about a general subject, ie. resorts. Is that correct? :confused:
I'm pretty interested in the photopass--the last time I was at WDW (1995!)(My DH says our trip in '98 doesn't count because we only spent one day, at AK, and his MIL--my DM, was with us! :crazy2:)--Disney didn't offer that program then.
Thanks again! See you on the boards! :party:
(I love those smilies!)

Hello! This is my first time to the DIS Boards. I am a DVC member and booked my 2nd vacation (with family members) for next month at OKW. I would have loved to have booked the 3 bedroom grand villa, but was 4 points short. If I wanted to rent 4 points, is this the place to find out how???

Hi Teresa -- Welcome to the Boards. There is some information regarding points for sale by clicking on Dis Home at the top of this page, or directly at www.wdwinfo.com. On the lefthand side of the home page, go down the list until you find DVC/Timeshare, click here to get to the timeshare home page, you will then be able to get the information you need. By the way, the grand villas are really nice for a large group, plenty of space and privacy for all. If you're lucky to get the 4 points you need, I'm sure you and your family will enjoy it - I'll keep my fingers crossed that Tinker Bell will spread some pixie dust your way, even before you arrive at the Magic Kingdom.

Have a great trip!!!

[Brenna&Noah's Mom]

Hi!I'm new to the board.I have been lurking and decided to join.Seems like a great place with great advice!!:yay: My family and I are planning a trip to WDW in 08' so I love all the info!

Hi there! We have decided that we want to head your way after Xmas, maybe over New Year. Wondering about renting a car and staying off property, cuz we want to do other stuff too....
What do you all think?

Oh, 5 of us, 3 teen boys.

[HappyTap]

Just checking in... love the board!

Hi There -- In response to your query, below are three sources for vacation rentals within a few miles of Disney.

VRBO.com are vacation rentals by owners whereby in most cases, you deal directly with the owner. Most requre a 7 day stay, but some will negotiate length of stay. You will be able to view the accommodations and pick the unit you want, and that will be what you get when you arrive.

All Star Vacation Homes.com operates in the same way, other than they are a management company representing the owners. I have used both of these companies when arranging vacations for out of town family and friends when they wanted off property accommodations. The best part, if you were spending $350.00 a night for a deluxe room at Disney, these companies offer a private villa, complete with swimming pool, some with game rooms, 2-7 bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and the list goes on depending on the property. You will find the pricings to be varied and in some instances, lower than Disney rates depending on the property you choose.

Lakestarhouse.com -This too is a private villa rented by a very nice lady by the name of Carol Saysell. The house is 3,600 square feet, with 3 master bedrooms each with a full bath and 3 additional bedrooms and all the other amenities you could want in a home. You might not need all the space, but when you consider the cost of a deluxe at Disney, I think the choice is a no brainer unless someone just wanted to stay on property. I have found Carol's pricing to be lower than that for the same type offerings in Formosa Gardens, which is probably the most upscale of the Kissimmee rentals. Should you choose Carol's place, tell her you were referred by LeWan Chisley.

We have found the off property rentals to be much more advantageous, due to the space, allowing the kids to have their own area for relaxation after a day in the park, and the ability to have snacks and some meals at the villa, lessening the cost of Disney food. There are grocery and drug stores near by to do your shopping. If you care to venture up the road from your villa, you can also find a Walmart. In some instances when staying for a week, you can choose between a 7 day car rental or pool heat. I would suggest pool heat the end of December and January, as the weather can sometimes be a little chilly, but you could play it by ear, check the weather before you come, and make your decision upon arrival. Some units have pool heat as a part of the rental cost, so nothing is really standard.

The rental area you are seeking is Kissimmee - Developments include Emerald Island, Formosa Gardens, & Rolling Hills. I only list these as I have personal knowledge of the villas, their upkeep, quality, etc. and have had no problems when renting from either. You will find many more rentals as you peruse through the listings, which I am sure will be satisfactory. The developments I have mentioned are within a 5 -10 minute trip to Disney by car, depending on traffic. There is also a "side road" you can take which aleviates taking the main 17-92 highway to the Disney main gate.

If by chance, you can't find something from the above offerings, just e-mail me and I will give you more suggestions. Have a great vacation.

[HB_Gibbs]

Hello,

I love D-Land so I thought I might as well join a forum dedicated to it. I go to D-Land as much as I can. Im saving up for a pass right now. Of all my memories of going to D-Land, my favorite are going on Space Mountain for the first time, and being able to get into Club 33. I look forward to posting here.

[jester911]

Hello to all you great and crazy DISers.
I am amdmittedly a DIS junky. Or lurker if you will. I though that the time was right to finally intruduce myself along with my crew.
DH me along with DW have four little DS. 5,4,3,3 yup the last two are identical twin boys.
I am planning on a trip to the world in late 2009. I know a long way off. But with the ages of the little ones. I thought it best that the twins would be 5 yrs old and be able to enjoy it that much more. My oldes boy will celebrate his 8th in Disney. Can't beat that.
I have read as much as I can. I contnue to rad several hours a day. The onformation on this site is truly mindboggling and so informative it is truly scary. I am sad and not ashamed to say that I was a complete rookie. I now am very grateful to the knowledge that I have gained on this site. You guys are unbelievable to share so many tips and suggestions. Strategies guidance. I have been enjoying more that I thought I would the trip reports of fellow DIS fanatics. Particually the ones with children and of most importance the ones from the parents with the bravery to go down to Disney with four kids. All there own or a mixture of friends and relatives. I Salute you.
I am glad I found this site and will continue to read and read. I would love to hear from you fellow DISers who have ventured forth with kids in tow. Tips and challenges abroad.
Again.
Thanks for sahring all your wisdom to a rookie at disney. I have been there before in my youth. And again with my parent back in 1990. I still remember the Ninja turtle had a show on. Yup I am dating myself here.

[jester911]

I am so sorry for the spelling of that last message. Just excited about posting for the first time.

Hi There -- Welcome to the boards, good to have you aboard. To get an abreviations list, click on Dis Home at the top lefthand corner of this page. This will take you to the Dis Home page. Go down the lefthand side of this page until you see abreviations, click on it, you will be able to make a copy for future reference. The more you learn about the resorts and parks, the easier it will be to interpret abreviations used by others on the boards.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone! I'm new to DIS Boards and can't wait to get lots of information and tips from everyone! We are currently in the beginning stages of planning our WDW trip for May 2008. We usually go around Sept or Oct but with my DS starting jr. high this fall, we didn't think that it would be a good idea to take him out of school. My DD age 8 doesn't see the big deal!! We have been to WDW 8 times and at the end of every trip, we can't wait to go back!!

My fiance and I are getting married in February. We've already made ressies for our honeymoon -- April 12-19th, 2008 -- at AKL. We're so psyched.

I wonder if it is an account activation thing? It has been a bit since I registered on this board and I quite honestly registered on several forums at once, so I can't remember what the procedure was here. Did you receive an e-mail from disboards when you created your account?

Other than an account validation thing, it may be a cookie setting. If your computer isn't saving cookies it may mess up your ability to log on properly.

Just shooting in the dark here - hang in there and hope it gets sorted out soon.

Hi There -- I'm not sure why the problem is occurring, but it's apparent your posts are being created as I am able to reply to your post. It may be the cookie issue as explained by another. Were you trying to start a thread?? If so, I don't think you can start a thread without a certain number of posts. As your user name is showing as unregistered, I would just register again and create a user name, by following the registration prompts very carefully. Go to wdwinfo.com to register. Look down the column on the lefthand side of the page to register, and to get information about the disboards.

[momma2minnie]

Hi! to all I am from SW Louisiana Cajun Country to be exact! I am planning a trip for my family (Myself30, DH31 and DD3) for Dec 10-15 will be staying at CBR. This will be DD's 1st trip and our 7th wedding anniversary as well. We spent our Disneymoon at CBR the same week of Dec 2000.

I found the Dis quite by accident when researching our trip and lurked for awhile but you people have way too much fun... I had to come out of the shadows and join in I must say the LGMH tradition simply intrigues me. I have made several trips to the local Home Depot and have freed a stack of LGMHs from their little cells, and I am having much fun planning our window dressing.

BTW , DH thinks I'm crazy with all the energy I'm putting in to planning this trip so it a great relief to have found such a great group of like minded people. :dance3:

[bbqwing]

Hello everyone. I am new here.. I am from Vancouver, Canada. Nice to meet you.

I know that this may sound a little dumb, but I am not a computer wiz by any means and I didn't spend the night at the Holiday Inn Express.

Thanks for your help.:confused3

[Pamjr]

Is there a place to find all the acronyms? I know what the resort letters are such AKL and BWV but I'm a little confused by many of the others like CRO.

[ultimatemickeyfreak]

well i've really gotten better at this whole posting thing .... and I've been apart of a copule boards and I have seen really nice people and I've seen some really crazy posts by people criticizing other people's opinions. I have been to WDW 24 times in my life and when I go in Sept. it will be my forth time this year.... I think this board is an awesome way to meet new people and adds a completely new aspect to the whole DISNEY experience.


oh yeah and....

RESPECT THE LIME!!!!!

Hi all you DISer's! :disrocks: The DW got me turned on to the boards, and they are a great source of info and have some great people. We're from western Wyoming, and have a son with a disability, so going to WDW is our escape and coping mechanism. Our friends' eyes kind of glaze over when we start talking Disney, so it's nice to have a community of like-minded folks who 'get it' :thumbsup2

(DH and I have gone on numerous trips with our respective families as children, but honestly, I think we are having more fun as adults!)

We are staying offsite, we own a Marriott timeshare, does anyone else here use a timeshare or stay off property, I would love to hear from you and your experiences.

I just found this board tonight. Very cool. I haven't been to WDW for a long time. Maybe 30 years. Last time I went my family and I drove down from Washington state in our camper. Boy was that an interesting trip.
I'm hoping to move to Tampa next year. Maybe I'll take a trip up to Orlando.

[Angies1274]

Hi Everyone!! I just found this board last week and love it!!! I have found so much great information already!!! We are planning our first trip to disney for April 29-May 3 and are sooooooo excited.!!!!

How exciting! Your kids will have a blast, and I know you and DH will too!!

[mrincredible2008]

[porknbeans]

I just signed up and I am completely new to the forum. I never went to Disney as a child, but have gone twice as an adult. We are planning our third trip this coming March and will be staying on site for the first time. I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy the parks with a more relaxed approach. Now starts the difficulty of weeding through all of the threads and posts to answer all of my questions.

[stuffedw/fluff]

I'm a little nervous here...I've been lurking on the boards for about two years, but have just gotten up the nerve to join. :eek: I've been going to the world almost my entire life and love it, love it, love it! My DH and I have two wonderful DS and we are taking our first "big trip" with them in a week. Until now, they've either been in the womb, been babies, or we've left them at home (with grandparents, of course!). Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed reading over the past couple of years and hopefully I'll be able to give others some insight. Bye for now! :wave2:

Hi Flamingomo - I just wrote to welcome you over on the PA thread. I am kinda new, too, but there are lots of veterans on these boards, who have been very helpful. I posted a new question, but now I can't remember how I did it :confused: (not much help, huh). Maybe ask over on the PA board, it is smaller and those girls helped me out a lot. Good luck.:thumbsup2

[Lewanc]

where is the best place to post this?


Hi Choelscher - Assuming from your post, you want to rent a vacation club villa - am I correct?? If so, I would list the post on the Disney Vacation Club Thread.

At the top of the Dis Posting Page on the left hand side, click on user CP. On this page you will see a box titled Forum Jump. Scroll through the topics until you reach Disney Vacation Club - DVC Rent/Trade section. This thread is devoted to DVC rentals and trades, and allow good responses for your post.

Are you aware vacation club villas can be rented from Disney, if available for your dates?? To my knowledge, the only villas that aren't available to non-DVC members at the present time, are the villas at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. A toll free number for contacting Disney is 1-877-939-3732.

You may also want to check pricing at disneyworld.com. At the top left hand side of the page, click on resorts and choose all resorts. Disney Vacation Club Villas will be the first entry on the page. Move your cursor to Explore Another Resort, and a drop down menu will show a list of all vacation club resorts, just click on any resort listed, and you will be able to get the prices for a 2 bedroom villa at each resort.

I would suggest that you use the web site as an information source, but call to get the most updated information and pricing. At times, there are discounts which are not listed on the web site such as Annual Pass, AAA, etc. A cast member would be able to give all the information you would need to assist in vacation planning.

Hope this has helped.
