    Reservation Wanted: BWV (or any DVC) 8/13-8/21/08 2BDRM Villa

    Hi There, I am looking for 325 points to stay in the Boardwalk Villas from 8/13-8/21/08, in a 2-bdrm villa. If not available, I would definitely consider 2-bdrm villas at other DVC resorts (however, the points value may change slightly...always around 350 or so, according to the handy DIS...

    MNSSHP-How do they clear the parks?

    Visiting MVMCP in 2004, they actually ushered the guests for the party into Tomorrowland for 1 hour after the park closed (we could enjoy the attractions, food, and stores during this time). The park closed at 6 back then, to ensure all the guests not attending the event were cleared before...

    What is the Best way to get from POR to BW?

    A Time Machine ;) Just kidding, I have a lot of respect for Brett Favre, and enjoy watching the Packers play as well :hippie: I also recommend taking the boat (leaves from both Riverside and FQ, whichever you're staying at) to DTD and then taking a bus to BW. IMO (I just returned from a...

    Viewmaster Slides

    Maybe you could steal one from the 50s Primetime Cafe :lmao: Talking about viewmasters makes me think about our "talking" viewmaster (it was quite large and grey). We had "Thriller" slides, and between the pics and the creepy audio (darn you, Vincent Price!), I was scarred for life by that...

    New Disney Visa Discount

    My aunt just got off the phone with WDW reservations and was told the code is only applicable for deluxe resorts (not sure if they meant those were the only options left or what). Disappointing. I'm thinking of calling myself and using the code to see if I can get it. I'll tell her to try...

    The crane has arrived...

    I don't want to sound terrible, but what is that weird looking white thing at the bottom left of SSE? It kind of looks like a Mickey hand in an obscene gesture (I feel guilty just thinking that :eek: ). Really, though, what is that supposed to be? I'm sure it will be so obvious that I feel...

    Soarin Strategies-any Tips?

    Not really. There's a designated number of FPs given out for each time block (usually in 10 minute or so increments). FPs are given out from park opening, which means if people don't get all the designated 9:11-9:21 FPs, they're gone. They're not added to the next block. It's called smart...

    Soarin Strategies-any Tips?

    If a queue doesn't look like it "matches" the posted wait time, I always ask the CM at the entrance to verify if it truly seems to be that long. CMs are trained to gauge how long a queue is by looking at it (not as easy, I presume, for Soarin, as say, for a Fantasyland attraction, but still)...

    So why is Disney making so many cuts?

    Um, the Oriental Land Company has done just that with TDR....and according to many on Disney fan boards, has restored the magic to visiting a Disney theme park we all felt in the "good old days." Personally, I honestly wouldn't have a problem with OLC buying the American Disney theme parks...

    Safe Areas/Apartments in Orlando

    Sure, it was a public relations entry-level position. Starting pay for entry-level PR reps in Buffalo is around $35,000, but this job paid a little over $26,000 (I have heard that many jobs pay less in Central Florida than in the NE; however, we're talking more than 30% more for an entry-level...

    Safe Areas/Apartments in Orlando

    Hi everyone and thank you very much for all your input! I just returned to Buffalo after 3 interviews and 1 second interview. I actually received a job offer this morning; however, I had to decline. To be brutally honest, it simply was not enough salary to justify the expense of moving (and...

    Safe Areas/Apartments in Orlando

    Thank you all very much for your help! I have a lot to go on, and I'm getting as much info and printouts from your guys' suggestions as I can before I leave (tomorrow morning!) so I can check these areas out. I'm really hoping that these interviews work out...if at least one of them does...

    Safe Areas/Apartments in Orlando

    I actually don't have a job yet, but my two of my interviews are in the same area (John Young Pkwy, 32803), and on is on S. Semoran (32807). From what I hear, I don't want to be super-close to either of these areas. Also, I am hoping to work PT as a WDW CM. So I'm hoping to be within a half...

    Safe Areas/Apartments in Orlando

    Hello Everyone, I have some job interviews in Orlando next week and I *hopefully* will get at least one offer out of them. Thing is, I've done a lot of research lately about the safer areas in Orlando, yet I still cannot concretely say I know which areas are the safest and most...

    Discount WDW Store?

    Hello all... I'm going to be in Orlando next week for 3 job interviews *crossing fingers*, and while I had to sadly let my AP expire (hence needing the job :) ), I will not be spending time in the parks. My mom asked me, though, to stop at one of those stores that sells older WDW...
