    Illuminations and Happily Ever After Cruises - Find One To Share

    My wife and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Looking to join a group of adults for an Illuminations cruise on either Sept 4th, Sept 6, or Sept 7th. Anyone willing to defer some costs?

    Least Favourite At Each Park

    I think it's funny that some people's least favorite rides are some of my favorites. Am I the only one who likes 'Sounds Dangerous'? It's a cool show. Living with the Land is cool, too... but I like growing things, so, maybe that's why I like it so much. Primeval Whirl is just plain fun...

    Is it bad to say....

    My wife and I have two anniversaries. One for when we were married and the other for the first day we went out/kissed. Now, for me, the second one is much more special than the first. I knew from the moment I saw her that she was the one. I often have trouble remembering which date it is...

    14 days on the Dining Plan. Can you please take a look at my choices?

    IMO, I'd drop Sci-Fi and Boma. The idea behind Sci-Fi is cool. And it's cool to say you've done it. However, the 'movies' are short clips, like previews, and they cycle more than once in the time it takes to get your food. And the food's just normal burgers and fries and chicken fingers...

    Internet $9.99 for 24hrs???????????

    I called yesterday to learn that Disney charged for the internet connection, or rather for 'high-speed internet'. I asked the lady at the desk why, in the world of free wifi at nearly every business, and in hotels that are $50/night, was Disney dragging it's feet on the free wifi? I guess...

    Always stayed at Values, what Deluxe to try???

    I've got to say, nothing beats the GF, IMO. Something about stepping off the monorail in the evening, walking down the stairs to the sound of a band playing on the balcony. You're treated so well there by all the cast members, better than at any other resort I've stepped foot in at WDW...

    Anyone else at the Animal Kingdom 10 years ago?

    The tourguide says it on the train to Planet Watch. We'd never taken the train out there b/c it just seemed like a waste of time. It's a petting zoo. You can do that anywhere. As we passed the paddocks, the guide said what they were for and said that they were so the animals wouldn't...

    All that walking~shoes?

    No, you're incorrect. I'll assume you're talking about the double socking. They make double layered running socks just for this purpose. The layers help offset the friction between the shoe and the sock to the foot. Two layers means more barriers, and less friction to the foot. Duct...

    All that walking~shoes?

    Two words: Duct Tape. I'm a large guy, 350lbs, and it took me two days to develop almost incapacitating blisters on my feet in WDW. I was double socking (thin sock inside thick sock), but it didn't help. Then, I learned how to duct tape my feet. At first, I was skeptical, but I'll...

    Anyone else at the Animal Kingdom 10 years ago?

    I remember 'Countdown to Extinction' and the 'Disney Radio Cruise', which was, perhaps, the worst ride ever conceived in WDW history. It was like, 'Yep, and here's the big tree... oh, look, here's another side of the big tree... did you see the big tree? Oh, look, a big tree... OFF THE PORT...

    How long are fast passes good for?

    According to the Unofficial Guide, fast passes never expire. They've used one that was 2 years old, and while they got 'strange looks' from the CM, they were allowed into the fast pass line. While it's not advertised, I understand the policy to be that they never expire.

    A Special Disney Mother's Day? Help me make it special

    All good ideas... She doesn't like jewelry that much, though. Anyone else?

    A Special Disney Mother's Day? Help me make it special

    Alright, we're going to be in Magic Kingdom on Sunday! That's her favorite. She LOVES Carousel of Progress because it's something Walt touched. However, she also loves Splash Mountain, BTMR, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, etc. We'll have our 6 year old with us the whole time, so it needs to...

    A Special Disney Mother's Day? Help me make it special

    We're taking an end of the college year trip to WDW starting May 9th-May16. Mother's day happens to fall in that time frame, and as usual, my wife doesn't know what she wants, but wants something special. Yes, I can call and have flowers delivered to the room, or I could go to the epcot...

    Being Overweight and riding RNRC

    I just got back a few weeks ago, and I'm 5' 10 and 380. I rode RNRC for the first time, and it was no problem.
