All I can say is Thank you, Thank you, Thank you SSRMonkey for your posts. I ALWAYS enjoy your pictures and your adventures.

I haven't read this whole thread. But what I have read is interesting. It seems to me though that the problem is the long lines waiting at the bus stops for SS. I have no problems with people riding SS bus to get to Downtown Disney, if the wait time on the bus is not that long. I have had...

Wow! If just one half of this "surprise" is pulled off it would be GREAT! I'm excited for you. Lots of happy surprised people at one of the best places on earth. I hope you will not get so tired in planning it that when the day comes they will all see you asleep on the couch. Have an awsome...

But think how magical that is for the three or four people that they were waiting for! Some days I am on the "receiving" end. Other days I am on the "giving" end. Regardless, I'm at the "Orlando" end of my vacation so I try not to stress over too much. :cloud9:

The last several years my family has eaten breakfast at Boma's. We really like it there. But our next trip we want to do things "differently." Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we can find a great breakfast other than Boma's? Thanks.

The last two years DVC has redistributed its points. Some people win and others lose. But my understanding is that they do this in order to keep rooms occupied at near capacity for every night. So the redistribution of points is an attempt to get us to change the way we take our vacations. So...

Ummm...yeah! Trouble here too! I have used it for the last couple of years with no problems. Then last week it all of a sudden stopped working unless I clicked my mouse over it several times and watched it work slowly. I uninstalled the program and tried to re-install. It won't even re-install...

Whew! Finally received my planner today in central Indiana. My trip to the World starts this Thursday (May 6th). Never thought I would be worried about it arriving before my Disney trip this late in the year.

Still nothing in Indiana. However, my DME stickers for my luggage came today :thumbsup2

Mike, Thanks for the dark ride pics of Pirates. That answers some of my questions. Nice camera. What were the settings you used for those pics? And I'm guessing you did not use a flash, right? Like all the others, I really enjoy your pictures and trip report. Thanks for taking the time to...

I'm single and have yet to stay by myself. Right now I invite family to attend with me. But I have a whole bunch of friends lurking around waiting for me to invite them. So far, it has been one of the best "self-centered" decisions I have ever made. It is a lot of money. But it has been worth...

It doesn't really bother me. I look at it as though I have more choices. Just because I own DVC doesn't mean I have to stay there when I go to Disney. If the "free tickets" and "free dinning" look like a great value to me, I will book with them and get it (then I can bank points for next years...

Mike...If you get a chance could you snap some photos of Pirates of the Carribean ride and post them here? I'm looking for a camera that does a pretty good job documenting dark rides (not only at Disney but other amusement/theme parks too). If you don't make it that way, that's OK. Don't make a...

We are close to the same formula. I use: Buy-in + Yearly dues divided by the total number of nights from my first stay until now. Example: Buy in 20,000 + 1000 (2008 maint) divided by 16 (Number of nights stayed in 2008) = $1,312.50 per night. But then the next year: Buy in 20,000 + 1,000 (2008...

If that is an open invitation to go with you and your family...COUNT ME IN!!! Where shall we meet? :thumbsup2 Unfortunately, I'm 121 days away. :confused3

One area of "savings" I get is with plane tickets. Because I plan my vacation 7-11 months out I can pre-order my plane tickets early. I just got round trip tickets for $167. If I waited until a few months out, those same tickets cost $300-$500!!! But would I even be going to Florida this much...

Thanks for sharring. My prayers are with you and your family. I count it a great blessing to still be able to walk around Disney with my parents. However, I am aware that one day one of them will be missing. Then sometime after that both. I'm making memories that will echo throughout my life at...

Actually, I like the changes. The new blue lighting and "open windows" makes you feel you are on a starship before boarding (For Next Generation fans...can anyone say 10 forward?). I heard the same people that designed the Soarn' line did this one as well. The interactive games are interesting...

Great! Simply great! :worship:

Two to three weeks out for me. I think once I got them a month in advance. Never had any problems.
