Go for it! I tried to do the same a few weeks ago, tacked on a single night to a business trip, elsewhere in Orlando. Values were booked, so I took CBR, but then got upgraded to Beach Club! The desk guy said they were overbooked at CBR, and my single night/one bed/one person made me easy to...

Yup! I've had so much fun re-telling my adventure to everyone at home! I'm a long-time big-time planner for our family WDW trips, so this was great fun to do a few of my personal favorites, without the pressure to do everything perfectly--or even to accomadate anyone else's needs or whims. I...

ME, yes, IF they schlep your luggage in and out from under the bus. But not within the parks. I figure anyone who lifts my suitcase is tip-worthy!

I just got back from a one-night stay, was booked at CBR and upgraded on arrival to BC! I thought it was a fluke, but now I see otherwise. Mine was just an extra day I tacked on, solo, to a work-related conference elsewhere in Orlando. Worked out great for me--I was looking for the most...

Just had to post where someone would celebrate with me --I got upgraded from CBR to BC! I just got back from a weekend work-related conference elsewhere in Orlando. I added a single night at my own expense, could not bear to be this close and not get to WDW. The goal was one night, just...

That hair dryer info is no longer correct--there are hairdryers in the rooms now, installed on the wall. Look back a few pages, somebody [sorry, can't recall who!] posted lots of great photos, and it shows the hairdryer on the bathroom wall. It worked fine for me! As to breakfast--the...

When I was there three weeks ago, the food court was open til midnight--some stations, not the whole thing. The delivery-to-your-room pizza was til midnight also!

I love the idea of an autograph book with a place to put the matching picture! Our books form years ago, when my kids were little enough to do this, are fun to remember, but just the "autographs" are sort of ho-hum to look at after the fact--it's the accomplishment of "getting" thme that's fun...

Thanks Jen for fixing that--of course I meant it's Disney that gets the bags from SW and to your room, not the airline itself! I actually think if I were to do this again, I'd just use the ME for the ride but skip the luggage part on arrival. It was really no big deal to pull our own, and then...

Yes, I think 10 minutes would get you there easily, maybe less for adults. If you haven't already, go to the first post of this thread, and click on the "resort map" link at the bottom--the ASMo map has a mini-diagram of all three All Stars in the bottom left corner, so you can see exactly how...

You made a good decision! Our room was very clean! Carpet was in good shape, bathroom tile was good too--I worried about that, because that cute filmstrip effect means millions of tiny tiles and lots of grout, but my worries were unfounded--all was well. These rooms are not plush, but it was...

Yes, when you check-in, electronically up to 24 hours ahead, or at the counter when you get to the airport, you are assigned a boarding sequence number. The seats are not assigned--you can choose from whatever seats are open when you get on. In the past, you were just assigned a boarding...

Yes, Southwest does handle your luggage airport-to-resort on arrival, and delivers it to the room--you don't have to be present. On departure, we did take our suticases to the bus, and then carry it in to check-in coubnter at the airport. But this is a big tour-type bus, with the luggagae...

Milk was not on the beverage bar, but late one night when the creamer dispenser was empty, the worker offered to get me milk instead. He would take it inside and fill it. I should've asked if that was a option for kids--sorry, I forgot! Then he decided to just refill the creamer dispenser...

My new mug from last week is almost the same as the ones we got in August of 2007, EXCEPT the year date is no longer on there! Look at your old mug--mine has "2007" under Micky & Minnie. On the new one, those numbers are missing--no date at all. Otherwise, it's identical: blue lid, white...

We did book a preferred room, and I chose Fantasia for the "Mickey" theme. In the rooms, the theme is evident in one framed poster on the wall and the wallpaper border at the ceiling. Other than that, I think inside the rooms is about the same. The bedspread fabric pattern includes all the...

Hi all, I'm just back yesterday from my short stay to watch my son's band march in teh MK parade! [OK, it's actually called the pre-parde, but hey, stepping out on Main Street with Spectromagic on your heels, it was pure magic! :) We watched from the train station platform, and then ran [and...

I agree about the pictures, thanks MeMom for getting us all excited--a picture is truly worth a thousand words! [But I'm not so sure about that giant jack-in-the-box, he looks a little scary to me.:laughing:] jrandtys--I have a preferred location booked only because that's what they had...

What is this?

Jen, thanks for the hairdryer answer! I think I'll take my chances and save the space in my suitcase. No little ones this time! My family has had several magical vactions over the years, DH and four sons. We've stayed in moderatesCarribean Beach, Port Orleans, and the FW cabins. Our boys...
