Especially after today--I called to check rates and availability for CR (SIL wants to go to WDW at Christmas and needs monorail resort). Ended up w/ Poly MK view room w/ 40% discount as a "call only" promotion. :yay: Plus--cm was super helpful as this is the first time I had to make ressie w/...

My 82 yr old SIL (who lives with us) suprised heck out of me and wants to go to WDW around Christmas. DH and already have a long w/e booked at YC for Dec. 3-5 for our 25th anniversary, which is a big step up as we usually stay at POP or ASMu. We've decided that we should make a separate...

I truly can't imagine anyone not liking La Nouba--between the acrobatics and the humor and showmanship there is something for everyone. I've been to 3 or 4 other Cirque shows and La Nouba was my favorite. We went in December and had Cat. 2 seats. We will go back this year, but this time...

DH and I had dinner at Concourse on Dec. 15--great meal, great service. While we we were there a manager came by and asked how our dinner was. We told her it was very good and that we were sorry the Concourse was closing. I told the manager that I had heard that the new restaurant would...

Does any one have the fax number to fax in a room request to All Star Music? I've looked through several threads and did not see it--and I'm hopeless at searching. For some reason I did not make a request when I booked, and I would love to have a room near the fountain. Also--we arrive on...

I live 10 minutes away from the Mall of Georgia, and I shop in the Disney store fairly often. I would describe the store as medium sized. The merchandise varies--various stuffed animals, toys and toy sets, assorted princess merchandise, pajamas, t-shirts, book bags, etc. I think almost all...

I just did this last week in Japan. Make sure you go to a register first and pay for the pearl and then bring your receipt to the pick the pearl counter. I got a slightly pink pearl. I did not really like the settings available in Japan, so I had it set as pendant in the pearl booth at...

Dear ArielRae: thank you so much--you make it look easy! The video is great, I'll go home and follow along with video as I un pop my hamper. thanks again. Lee

Okay--I got a lot of great tips here--and one of the best was to get a pop-up hamper for dirty clothes. So, got a one from Dollar Tree, fit nice and neat in my bag. When we left, I tried to un-pop, but could not get folded back to original shape. I was in a hurry packing up so I just...

I always unpack--even on business trips for just one or two nights. When we go to WDW, or any other hotel, I use one drawer, DH has another, and rest of drawers, cabinets are for food, supplies. I just wipe out the drawers w/ a damp paper towel to get out any dust/debris. Suit cases get...

Dear Nklooz: I think if we had been in one or two buildings back from Calypso it would not have been a bad walk. Any further than that I think it could be a hike especially with kids. The preferred room is about 10-12 bucks more per night. We are returning in December, and we aren't doing...

We just came back from three nights (Sept. 16-19) at Music. It was great. This was a TANK trip for DH and me and our first stay at WDW since '94 (when we stayed at Port Orleans). Check in: We arrived at 11:45 A.M. after driving 8 hours from Atlanta. (we were wide awake at 1:30 and at...

JonS99--Mapquest "screwed" me by having inaccurate directions posted for the places I was going to. In fact, one of the locations where the directions were wrong has a big sign posted "DO NOT USE MAPQUEST DIRECTIONS FOR THIS OFFICE" ! I use Mapquest frequenty and this was first time(s) the...

Has anyone used the Mapquest driving directions from Altanta to WDW? Are they accurate? I just got totally screwed by Mapquest twice in the last 2 weeks so my faith in them is a little shaken. Does any one have good directions from Atlanta to WDW? (Mapquest or not.)We are driving down...

Another "Disney cleaner" here! There is no bigger downer than coming home from a great time at Disney to a dirty house. We leave Sunday the 16th. Over this week I'll start to tackle one big project a night and then do the final clean on the 15th. The weekend before we leave...

Has anyone ever worn a pedometer while at WDW to get an acutal clock of how many miles they walked in a day? Just wondering.... Lee

I got them! Mary--the deli you described was Goldberg's which CheshireVal had named. It is a 10 minute drive from my office, so I had the perfect lunch--a toasted salt bagel and cream cheese. ChesireVal--salt bagels are plain bagels that have a crust of kosher salt on the top and bottom...

There are so many great things and topics on this board I thought I would throw this out.. Does anybody know where to get a salt bagel in the Atlanta area? I used to get them when I lived in Jacksonville, and on a couple of trips I found them in Boston but have not located any in Atlanta...

Is it a hassle to get doggie bags for TS meals? We will be at WDW Sept. 16-19 and this will be our first time on DDP. From the commets made on the boards I am pretty sure that we will not be able to eat all the food provided. We are doing Jiko's and Chefs de France, and are not doing any...

Thank you all for the replies and encouragement. I am going to do TOT--if only one time. thanks again. Lee
