    Does anybody else feel Disney food is just not that great?

    I have to weigh in on this. In general I think the food is ok, not great. There is one exception, California Grill. Every dinner I have eaten there has been excellent. Otherwise, "fine dining" at Disney is a bit of an oxymoron.

    E-Night Was it worth it?

    Probably not, at least during the busier times. The park stayed open from 10-1 and at 12:30 there was still a 20 minute wait for Space Mountain. On early morning entry a few days later we were able to ride Space Mountain 3 times before 10:30 a.m. Plus, coupled with the next day's hangover for...

    Family Magic Tour

    There were a number of "older" children on the tour along with my son (8-11). They halfway participated in the stuff. I think for our tour part of the problem was there was a very big family group with us of 8 people only 2 of whom were children. The others were teenagers and adults. So with...

    Family Magic Tour

    We did this tour last Thursday. My DS (age 8) had done it 2 years ago and really wanted to do it again. The highlight was at the end of the tour when Peter Pan and Wendy surprised us and spent a great deal of time talking to the children. They then led them through part of the park (playing...

    MK Fireworks Cruise

    We hooked up with a very nice couple through this Board who shared their MK fireworks cruise with me and my DS last Friday night. It was a beautiful evening, we shared a bottle of wine and the show was spectacular. I know most people go for the Illuminations cruise but this was pretty nice too.

    Where we went to market

    We arrived in Orlando on 8/11, rented a car and got on 417S towards WDW. Got off at Orange Blossom Trail, turned right and about 1/2 mile down is a Super Target. Bought great food, fresh produce and a cooler. Wonderful store, easy access to the highway. Will always go here from now on.

    Just back

    Two words -- hot and crowded. We had a great time but wow it got intense at times. Fortunately we were staying at WL so we were back at our hotel every afternoon. On EE morning at the MK on Thursday my DS was the first one on Dumbo. That was neat. We actually worked it out so we did not...

    Just Back - Here is where we ate

    Got back last night after a great 7 night 8 day trip. Just me and my DS who is 8 so I skipped a lot of the more "fancy" restaurants. He prefers hamburgers and french fries most of the time. Here is a brief review of some of the places where we ate: O'hanas - big disappointment. The...

    Cooler chain - crazy?

    This may sound like a nutty idea but we are flying down on Monday and renting a car. We are stopping at Walmart's for some things and I was going to buy one of those cheap sytrofoam coolers. However, I know they don't work that well but I don't want to invest in a plastic cooler just to throw...

    Just Back! CROWDED!!

    We are leaving on Monday and I hope some of the crowds are gone. Public school starts here the same day so I am keeping my fingers crossed. The good news is we are staying on site for a week and have been many times before so we won't have the same urgency to make sure we get to everything. I...

    Do you generally stay in the "worst" room @ "best resort", or "best" r

    We go for the resort not the room view. We are rarely in the room and when we are the curtains are closed and we are either sleeping or getting ready to go go go... We usually stay at the WL so if we are at the hotel I would rather hang out by the pool or in the lobby. Rooms are too small for...

    Silver Plan

    Is it worth it? My DS and I are leaving on Monday for 7 nights. The Silver Plan would cost us an additional $871. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is this bad?

    God bless you all for your kinds words and thoughts. You are right my son and I need some pixie dust. My father would have wanted us to go. While I don't know any of you your kind comments have gone to my heart this morning.

    Is this bad?

    My father died last night. He was in his 80's and in considerable pain so I feel he is in a better place. My son and I are scheduled to go to WDW next week. I have been going through a messy divorce and custody battle and most of these issues were recently resolved. I still want to go...

    Comments from Recent WL Visitors

    We never had any problems. The boat to MK arrived every 10-15 minutes and we never waited more than 15 minutes for a bus to the other parks. That being said we are renting a car this trip to give us more flexibility. For example, we are doing E-night and the boats don't run that late. I...
