This (re: predicting crowds). The folks who set these prices are paid to study and understand predicted crowd flow and maximize revenue yield accordingly.

This. Funny, we stayed at RPR for the first time last week, and on the trip home, my wife and I were discussing comparison b/w Poly and RPR. We loved the Polynesian, but agreed that RPR was simply a nicer "hotel." As for "themed resort," well, that's probably a matter of personal taste . . .

This was more or less our experience, as well. We were there last T-W-Th April 19, 20 and 21. Given the expanded park hours for the peak of spring break season, we knew we were in for large crowds. We showed up around 6:50am or so each morning. That was "late" for the early entry crowd, so...

When we took the kids for the first time a few years ago, they were 8, 6 and 3, respectively. I was a bit concerned, as I had heard the same things -- that the Universal parks were geared toward older kids. My kids had a GREAT time, and there was plenty to do. Ditto on the entire Seuss...

Received your PM. Many thanks - exactly the info I sought, and I appreciate the detailed breakdown. Confirmed my guesstimate -- about a $20 savings (we're limited to the 4 days) . . . Sorry for the lack of board etiquette re: posting prices.

I've purchased tickets via UndercoverTourist in the past. From those who have used the "secret link" via the free mousesavers.com newsletter, can you tell me my approximate savings on 4-day park-to-park tickets for five folks (four adults one child 3-9 yrs) by purchasing via the mousesavers...

Thanks, csaribay. That's what I needed to know. When did they finish Sports?

I would like to know if the rooms in Movies and Sports have been completed renovated, much like the Music rooms. I probably could have hunted the answer down if I searched a bit more diligently in the FAQ threads for these resorts, but I was getting overwhelmed by the ironing board/preferred...

Notwithstanidng your unfortunate username, I can empathize, as we are a family of five, as well, and our kids are almost the exact same age as yours (give or take a year). When they were younger, we stayed at the Poly. It was great in many ways -- monorail gave best/easiest access to MK, the...

After reading some reviews about pushy timeshare pitches (particularly on TripAdvisor), I double-checked the fine print - no presentation.

For what it's worth, today we booked the Sheraton Vistana resort for a March 2010 stay. We booked a 1BR villa. I was told by a woman who answered the phone at the resort front desk that all sections of the resort with the 1BR (and 2BR) villas had been renovated except for a part of the...

We were there for dinner two weeks ago. Posed pictures with Belle as you came in. Circulating during dinner: Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel and Cindarella.

This is a pretty funny thread. So DW and DS9 and DD8 did not accompany me and DD5 on this trip to WDW. I've taken the older two kids on a number of just-them-and-Dad trips, but not our 5-year-old. My wife and I decided to make this trip a surprise for DD5. Keeping the secret from her was...

OK, so it's not exactly what you think. Sorry if the tagline suckered you in . . . Heading over to Ft. Wildnerness for the Chip and Dale campfire/sing-a-long/movie has become somewhat of a tradition for our family during one night while at WDW. Since the older two kids weren't around for...

Amen to that -- we were at DHS last Saturday for EMH, arrived at the TSM fastpass queue at 8:30am. At that time, there were 6 fastpass machines in operation, and the lines for each went about 8-10 deep. After about 5-10 minutes or so, I got our fastpasses with a return time of 12:15pm. The...

We had one in our room at All-Star Music last week (Rock Inn building).

This trip was just Dad and our youngest, DD5. We stayed at All-Star Music, our first stay at the All-Stars. This was a 4-day stay with park hoppers and the basic DDP. With three kids under 10 years old, previous trips to the World have been spent at slightly larger/closer accommodations at...

Decided to take a trip to the World Oct 9-13, just me and DD 4. Checked these boards, then called my AAA agent a couple of weeks ago. While she didn't tell me exactly what code she would use, she said that the "Oct-Dec" Disney code, if we could find availability remaining, would be better than...

Looks like I'm headed to the World with my DD (4) in October. Big Brother and Big Sis will sit this one out, so hopefully it won't be too tough to "capture the magic" on this trip. We'll stay at All-Star or Pop, we'll be on the DDP, and we'll have hopper park tickets for 4 days. We'll also...
