What dates were you there and how crowded was it?

I'm reading posts about football players, cheerleaders, et al and am wondering how can you plan to avoid such groups? Is there a listing somewhere of conventions/groups booked for Disney? I am planning a trip for next year and would like to factor that in to our decision. Thanks.

When do you need to book resorts if you plan to come December 2007?

Christmas falls on Tuesday. Does the crowd begin the Saturday before, in this case the 22nd or the week before?

I'm planning next year's 50th birthday trip. Going to try to do some guesswork on school schedules and take kids out of school for a couple of days before their Christmas break. According to touring plans it seems the crowds don't start until the 23rd of December. Can that be right. Does anyone...

What were these Visa promos?

Still trying to find the best balance between crowds and missing school. This way we'd miss a couple days of school but no concerts and work would likely be light. Are the crowds still reduced then like early december? By how much? Please advise.

What are blockout dates?

So many kids are back in school by that time...I wondered, how bad was it? I was planning to take my teens out of school next Fall at the end of the first marking period but now that this school year has started and I again witness their workloads...I am having second thoughts. We have never...

Oh, and the Caribe Royale was all suites. Ours had a bedroom with 2 beds and a living area with a pull out couch, fridge and microwave.

We stayed at Caribe Royale once. Room and facility was great. Service was very weak but it was new at the time. They provided an all you could eat breakfast that was huge!!!! Didn't need to eat again until dinner. The pool was nice; the kids loved that. The shuttle was frustrating; we rented a...

My husband and I too are on teacher's salaries. We do have a financial planner. In addition to the state retirement plan, he has us each putting away the maximum each year to the optional 403B. It'll make you feel better and it is easy to live without once you get used to it. It also reduces...

Just got the disney planning video. That, combined with all the great reviews and we've decided to switch our plans from 3 days at BC and AKL to 3 days at CSR and AKL. My question....since so many people suggest requesting the same rooms/location, what are the odds of having a request honored...

Switch to a moderate and don't look back. My bet is you won't regret it at all. CSR looks magically magnificent to me! We are considering downgrading just to be more sensible too

Am wondering if I can browse AAA rates (or rate history over time). I look and look but get nowhere. I did have an agent give a hypothetical quote and it didn't seem discounted at all. Any help?

How much is the typical savings on room rates with an AP? When do you decide? If I get rooms 11 months out....can I decide and apply an AP discount that comes up 3-6 months out? Obviously, If I can save $100./night it makes the deluxe room more palatable. Please advise.

I'm reading and hearing such nice things about this moderate resort. How does it really compare to the deluxes? Has anyone experienced both? What do you think?
