    Cape May? Fultons??

    We ate at Fulton's a few years back, not good IMO. My scallops looked funny and the waitress told me thats how they were supposed to look. I ate them (looking back, should have went with my instinct), and was sick as a dog that night. Not to mention the bill was over $250 for 4 people. Of...

    Tell me about Ohana for dinner

    I just made O'hana reservations and was surprised by the CC request, but I think it's a great idea, at least for the larger restaurants. It took forever to find a day with availability last year when we were booking for spring break (There were two time slots for two different days out of the...

    Alternate Route Teaching - PA or NJ

    I strongly agree. I know this thread is from a few months ago-but its very true. There are some openings but its ALWAYS who you know. There is always a daughter, son, cousin, nephew, niece, neighbor etc.. that has a connection despite your experience and degree. I have worked as a sub and aide...

    Survival Guide to Spring Break: The week before Easter!

    Day 1: We drove from Philadelphia to Disney. We have flown and driven before but this time we drove to save money. Even though it takes WAY longer and gas was about $3.80 a gallon, this was sort of a last minute trip and airfare would have been $1000 for both of us round trip (due to Easter)...

    Mid March compared to summer crowds

    Mid March crowds will be MUCH better than in June. I have gone both times and the crowds were lower in March (we went the second week of March and Easter was the last week of March when we were there I believe). Also, the weather will be much more managable. We came back this past week 4/17-4/23...

    Just Returned 4/17-4/23..during SPRING BREAK!

    For the shows. People would stop and sit in the middle instead of going to the end of the row. Most of them cut through the crowd to be right next to the door. They were the first in, so they are supposed to go all the way down so everyone could fit. They would just stop in the middle and sit...

    Just Returned 4/17-4/23..during SPRING BREAK!

    Crowds were mid levels IMO until Friday. If you got there at opening, you could do whatever you wanted until about 11:30ish then it was just long lines. The longest wait I saw was 110 for TSM in mid-afternoon. All the "mountains" in MK were no more than 80 min when we were there (we fastpassed...

    25% off dining voucher for 4/17-4/23

    For the 25% dining voucher that you need to use during specific hours, at specific places, do you just print one and present it each time? OR do they collect it so you should print out one for each meal? Hope thats not confusing and let me know if you are going during that week and I can post...

    Park closures are freaking me out!

    I should add that our spring break here in PA (and surrounding states) also have that week or days around that week off. The good news is because of snow days, many districts have shortened the break, so we only have Thurs-Monday after Easter off. We are going the 17th-23rd regardless. I am...

    Park Closure levels?

    We are going next week. I am not concerned about closures. You just have to be there before they close it (11am/12pm). We already have all of our dining reservations, but there is still lots available that week. Of course the "big" restaurants have VERY limited times, but thats how it is most of...

    9:30 reservation at 'Ohana and 10:00 wishes

    We have been there during wishes, with seats with a perfect view, and then with seats with a not-so-perfect view. They do dim the lights and play the music along with the fireworks. Some seats you will not be able to see and there is no viewing area (other than if you leave the restaurant and...

    Buses at Carribean Beach..good/bad?

    This will be our first trip staying at Carribean Beach. We usually stay at POR and the buses are awful (all but maybe 2 out of 12 trips). How is the situation at CBR? Do they come a lot? Are there usually tons of people at the bus stop in the AM for rope drops? At POR there is always a crowd and...

    HELP with strategy for April 17th & 18th

    Don't worry, MK is open until 3 am! You will have plenty of time even if you have to wait a bit!

    I am still bothered by my in line experience.

    Although I disagree with this, if they are truly out of control, then you don't take that child in line.

    I am still bothered by my in line experience.

    I am a special education teacher, I get punched/hit/smacked almost daily by my students. I am not saying that all kids who have Autism/ADHD/Emotional/Behavior issues hit, but it is NOT an excuse for them to treat you that way (or anybody). Unless they are severe and not highly functioning (which...

    Has Epcot, DHS or AK ever closed due to capacity?

    We are going in 2 weeks (Week before Easter!) and I know it will be very crowded. Been going for years, know what we want to do and use fastpass. I see people who are also going that week saying that they are afraid the parks will close. I know this is rare-but I am wondering is it only MK...
