    I'm glad I asked because I totally forgot about MK is situated parking wise--thank you!

    Things we should see at parks now that we've been several times?

    Not looking for the splashy expensive add on stuff, just things that you tend to miss when you're trying to hit all the 'don't miss' rides, etc. when going to a park for the first or second time. For instance, we've never gone on Tom Sawyer's Island at MK and I'd like to maybe do that this...

    Car or Resort Transportation in July

    In our past trips, we always flew and used resort buses to parks. This time we're driving (staying at PO Riverside) so we have the option to use a car. Since we're going July 18-23 it will be very busy, but I can't decide which would be the better transportation choice--car or bus. Does it...

    I made my own school bread using Kringla Bakery's recipe

    Only a disser would become so obsessed with school bread that they'd try to make it at home, lol! What a comedy of errors--I had to try THREE TIMES to get it right! I finally discovered one major problem: the recipe posted on allears.net is WRONG. It calls for 2 pints of water, but it's...

    So what food/restaurants lived up to the hype? C'mon in!

    My mistake--you are right, the crystal palace is only 1 TS credit per person. I guess it just felt like paying 2 since it was a lot of money just for breakfast! Sorry about that.

    So what food/restaurants lived up to the hype? C'mon in!

    Thanks to my DIS obsession I was able to read lots of reviews on food and places to eat before we made our trip (Dec. 16th-23rd--our 2nd trip in 6 months). Here are the most popular things I tried and how I thought it stacked up to the hype: Le Cellier: Ah, the restaurant 'darling' of the...

    14 days at POP or 7 days at POFQ?

    Personally, a week at the world is enough for me and my wallet (factoring in meals, etc.) I have recently been to WDW twice within 6 months of each other--first time at pop, and second time at POFQ. Maybe this will help you choose: --Pop had a better and more varied food court, especially...

    Bringing a newborn to the parks...has anyone done this?

    I have to go with the 'nay' group. Part of the problem is, you just don't know how things are going to be for you or the baby at that point. Maybe you'll get lucky and have an 'easy birth' (oxymoron right there!) and an 'easy' baby where it would be a pleasant experience. However, your baby...

    Our Budget Davy Jones costume

    The first thing I thought of when I saw your post title was Davy Jones from the Monkees! :rotfl2: That costume is awesome, you did a fantastic job. I just love Halloween and I used to always make my own costumes. I wish I had your sewing talent!

    Anyone tried the "islander" crocs?

    Do I dare even ask this question for fear of the ACF hunting me down for bad fashion sense? :) (Yes crocs are ugly, blah blah blah, but I have horrible messed up feet that need comfort). I have the Athens and love them, but thought I'd need something I could wear with socks for our trip in...

    I have to cancel an ADR--which would you choose?

    Thanks for your input everyone! I always find it so interesting to read everyone's different experiences. I'll put the question to DH for his opinion (he just leaves all the planning to me--smart man!) but I am leaning towards keeping Flying Fish.

    I have to cancel an ADR--which would you choose?

    Due to the fact that I am math challenged, I thought we had one more sit down meal than we do on the dining plan. Therefore, I need to cancel one of my 2 credit meals (wahhhh). I just don't have the heart to cancel any of the others (Le Cellier, Crystal Palace, etc.) because I really want to...

    Advice on the cost of graduate school...

    I don't know anything about the field of psychology, but speaking as someone who went into HUGE debt to get a doctorate degree, I would advise you to look into what your likely earnings would be once you graduate before you decide. If you are likely to make very good money and have fairly high...

    A few tips from our trip

    Smep013--You know, I think I saw the packing tips on the 'tips' board....there were a few very long threads that delt with packing. If I ever find them again I'll post the link.

    A few tips from our trip

    I'm sorry, I don't know about the other rides. We only did the swap on Space Mountain since my mom was with us the rest of the time (lucky us!)

    A few tips from our trip

    I spent a lot of time researching the Dis boards before we went on our whilrlwind 3 day trip, so maybe someone out there will find these tips I read about and tried useful. In no particular order: 1. After reading a million posts about Crocs I decided to buy a pair of the flip-flops. I am...

    We dined it up right at Disney

    You'd think with all the advance planning I did on the DDP and the places I chose to eat, I'd remember more about my actual dining experiences while at Disney. Well, I plead sleep-deprivation memory loss thanks to my stll-won't-sleep-at-night 10 month old son. Anyway, here's some blurbs...
