    Marakash We did not have this one planned. We spent the entire day at Seaworld and decided we wanted to go to Epcot that night. Before we realized it we had not eaten dinner. We stopped at guest service and Marakash and China were available. We have not been to China in awhile and find...

    Spirit of Aloha We had this planned for our arrival night. What we had not planned on was Magical Express being anything but magical. 5 hours and still not luggage. No luggage - sweaty family from getting up early, getting to airport, etc. All the camera stuff in the luggage. Have long...

    Princess Lunch - Ok I was not at this lunch. My DW took my DD (7) while I took my DS to Mexico (one of the best meals and dining experiences) My DD said it was ok and she had a good time meeting the princesses. My DW said it was horrible food and spent a good amount of time afterwards...

    DISNEY'S CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information Thread!

    The Lounge was a good size. I guess about 3 rooms. I am not one that needs a sweatshirt often but wow was it kept cold. Very noticable in the morning. I would open the balcony door and place a table and chair close to the door so I would not freeze. I did a soft complaint and heard others...

    DISNEY'S CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information Thread!

    I had only been to the CR for Chef Mickey, Concourse and Cali in the past and not that often so I do not have a good frame of reference. Everything looked fine to me.

    Back from 7 day trip - lots of great family memories

    When you get to the monorail just ask the CM if you can ride up front - they will allow 4 people to ride up front. The best place to do this is on the express monorail off hours. Very popular thing for people to want to do so sometimes it is hard to get. MK Train ride - go to the very back...

    Back from 7 day trip - lots of great family memories

    I did the living seas with my 10 yr old DS and now he wants to get certified so he can dive down deeper next time. This was certainly one of the highlights of my trip. Next time I want to try surfing at Typhoon.
