    Recommendations to Quick Service Meals in the parks??

    With 3 boys and numerous trips, we have eaten a lot of counter service - they don't like 'waiting for food' :rotfl2: Some favorites - MK - Pecos Bills for the best burgers, taco salad and fixings bar plus doesn't always seem as crowded as other locations. Cosmic Rays - does have more...

    Le Cellier - IMPOSSIBLE to book?

    We usually go in late August and have been able to get dinner reservations but, with the switch to 2 credits and an early July trip this year, we opted for lunch instead. Late lunch - 2:45, so we expect to snack around the World for dinner that night - and that is not a bad thing!!

    When using we go shop, you go to their website about a week or two prior to your arrival in Disney. If you are going during the busy season (e.g. Spring break), use the 2 week window. You provide them with your arrival information, name, cell phone number, date of arrival, resort, etc. This...

    Need help with Saratoga Springs

    My family stayed in the Grandstand a few years back and loved it. We had requested to be close to the main pool but, after settling in at Grandstand, we realized that we were much better off there. The bus so convenient, the pool and water play area were wonderful and the walk back to the main...

    The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort FAQ with PICTURES! (APR 2009)

    Thanks WDWkook, I will look for them. However, if I can't find them do you know if the diameter of the filter is the same? I'm guessing no but just thought I would ask. Also, if I remember correctly, the small frig will hold 1/2 gallon containers, can you confirm?

    Photos of Guest Decorated Windows

    We are staying at the Contemporary and I plan on decorating my door/window. If someone doesn't like it, they can just turn their head the other way. I made decorations out of foam craft paper a few years back, put them up at SSR 2 years ago and at BWV last year. I plan on using them again...

    The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort FAQ with PICTURES! (APR 2009)

    We are heading down next week and much prefer our own coffee, so my question is, what size filters will fit in the coffee pot? We have the basket filters (8 to 12 cup size) that we used during our DVC stay last year, will these work?

    mdrob214, thanks for responding to my questions so quickly and for the additional pics. The flowers were beautiful and the vase was cute, glad you got to keep that. I'm really hoping the splash/play area will be open when we get there, maybe I can relax in one of those hammocks while my guys...

    We're heading down in 5 weeks :banana: and we are booked in a garden wing garden view room, so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. I do have 2 questions, (1) do you think a 1/2 gallon of milk could fit in the small frig? (2) do you think a 17" laptop will fit in the safe? okay, maybe...

    The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort FAQ with PICTURES! (APR 2009)

    We are DVC members, home resort is SSR. Two years ago we made a point to pool hop one day, it was one of our non-park days and we liked the idea of being able to visit other resorts. Would I do it again, probably not, even with a car it was too much work. I think most people want to hit...

    Best use of snack credits?

    For our family, the best use of a snack credit is whatever they want at the moment and, that is based purely on where we are in the World. Keep in mind the snacks have basics regardless of where you are (water, bottled drinks) however, the real treat is in finding something special like Dole...
