    If you could only do one ride at MK......

    Peter Pan!! I loved it, even more than my kids! But, some caveats...I've only been once as a adult and we did not ride the big thrill rides, so did not ride SM,SM,BTMR or HM...Hope to go on all except Space Mtn this year, so my answer may change after August!

    OT - Clearwater Hotel

    My f-i-l is very sick. DH and I went down to Clearwater last week to visit him and m-i-l. It now seems we may have to go back down soon for a funeral, and we will bring the kids. I'm looking for any advice on hotels in Clearwater (they live in the retirement community of...

    anybody just wing it, and plan nothing...

    Definately need a plan! We go in the summer and during free Dining so we (1) Plan which park on which day (2) Plan ADR's - almost all character meals (3) print out the UG plans and follow them loosely. We don't rush from one ride to the other, i.e are more than willing to ride again if...

    DHS Layout question - Map help needed!

    Thanks, Yes, I have that map, it just doesn't look like you can go from Streets of America to Mickey Avenue, but maybe you can walk by the playground or some of the CS?

    DHS Layout question - Map help needed!

    Last time we were only at DHS for 1/2 day and I never did get the layout straight in the mind. Even now if I look where we ate and where we saw the Doodlebops, I get confused! Anyway, if I am back by Toy Story Pizza Planet or New York Avenue, can I get from there directly around to the...

    To break, or not to break?

    We take breaks with the kids. Last time it worked out and I certainly still felt like we got a lot done. Last time we just napped and saved the pool for a sleep-in day.

    HELP !!! Why Can't There Be More Moderate Choices?????

    I have to chime in for CSR also!! We also stayed in Casitas 5 and loved it. We didn't see many convention goers and the busses were SO, SO empty, as was the pool. More people in conventions, less people on the busses, in the pools and at the parks! And it certainly seemed, esp. at MK, that...

    What is Jersey Week?

    Anyone know how Jersey Week crowds compare to last week in Aug. crowds? Both times it seems most southern schools are in session. We didn't have bad crowds two years ago, but I have no comparision either!

    Can anyone critique my (jam-packed) trip plans? First time visit...

    I agee with some other posters that there seems to be a lot of TS meals here and they do take longer than you think...but it depends how you want to spend your time. For MK, I would definately do Fantasyland first as this gets very crowded later (and another vote for Mickey's Philharmagic!)...

    Do you really have to call first thing for Cinderella Breakfast.

    I must have been lucky, I called end of June for August and got lunch no problem, althoug at 2:30pm. I was so shocked I declined at first (what was I thinking??) then called back a few minutes later and luckily it was still available. Good luck!

    ADR Times other then on the hour or 1/2hr?

    None of mine are on the hour or 1/2 hr. When I called, I usually said I'd like dinner at 5pm...and the CM would offer 4:50 or 5:10, etc.

    Newbie here...do we need a park hopper?

    I agree with not getting the Park Hopper option, there will be more than enough to see at each park for the first time! However, you may want to reconsider the afternoon break, esp. with a 6year old, Disney can be tiring and overwhelming and the afternoon break is wonderful! We still feel like...

    Help with a list of Scary (creepy) rides and Shows

    Whenn we went two years ago, my DD (6 then) did not like Little Mermaid at DHS AT ALL? The Sea Witch is HUGE and scary. And she loves the movie, all the princesses, etc. And DS (2 then) also did not like it at all. DD did like Pirates though, I think a lot of the theming was over her head, we...
