    Need some serious resort choice advice!!

    I think you will like POR. We stayed there on our last trip (I've stayed at the value resorts and hate them). I would prefer the Polynesian but that isn't in the budget so POR was the compromise. The pool is great for kids. The grounds are very nice and we used the boat quite a bit to go to the...

    Doll clothing bought at contemporary store?

    We have the Ariel, Belle, Minnie and Cinderella outfits for the 18" dolls. Two we bought in the park and the other two I had called the merchandise line and had them shipped (this was 2 years ago). Someone said the Cinderella dress doesn't fit the American Girl dolls and that is true. We can...

    Better pool - POR or POFQ?

    We stayed at POR and my kids wanted to go to the pool at POFQ so we took the boat over there. You can't go wrong with either resort it is pretty easy to get back and forth between them.

    Wildlife @ POR

    I agree they would like to avoid humans but I have to point out that there was an incident with an alligator much less than 40 years ago. It happened to friends of ours from New Hampshire in 1986. Their son was feeding ducks at Fort Wilderness (so the story goes) and a pretty good sized...

    Are we going to HAVE to do MVMCP to avoid crowds?

    We went the week before Thanksgiving last year and did the MVMCP. It was miserably busy. We had MUCH less crowds during the days at the park!

    How was the weather this past Nov/Dec?

    We were in Disney 11/16-24. The weather was perfect (not warm enough for me to swim but the kids and DH swam when we had time). It was sunny every day and temps ranged from 75-85 during the days. The mornings were a little cool (60s maybe) for me but we were up and out early everyday. I had...

    Honest dining reviews

    1-Cape May - Never been 2- Crystal Palace - I would go here for breakfast if you can! The food and character interaction was great and the atmosphere and view are really nice. 3- 'Ohana - We LOVE Ohana and wish we went for breakfast as well as dinner last trip. 4- Tony's Town Square - Never...

    Last trip was bad.

    We got two nights refunded to us after our trip this past November (stayed at POR during the computer upgrades). I am happy they did that rather than a free night or two or tickets because we won't be back to WDW for a LONG time!

    Missing DHS? Help!

    The only reason we went to DHS was so my son could do the Jedi Training. I really dislike that park and would skip it if we ever make another trip to WDW.

    Has anyone been to PORiverside lately?

    We were there in mid-November. I read the same "scary" reviews as you and I was a bit nervous about our stay. It ended up being fine. I will say the rugs are kind of worn and stained in spots (we were in two different rooms and it was the case in both rooms). Other than that the mousekeeping...

    Time for Ohana

    I would go with the earlier time in case there's a wait to be seated. I love Ohana! We ate there in November and I don't remember tasting anything with pineapple! The dessert was a bread pudding with a sauce...maybe bananas no pineapple though.

    askershus breakfast or crystal palace breakfast

    We did 4 character meals on our trip in November (free dining plan and sheer luck getting the adrs). We all really disliked Akershus. The food was pretty awful and the character interaction was just ok. We had much better princess experiences at CRT and 1900 Park Fare. The breakfast at...

    MVMCP - is this normal?

    Maybe that's it...we don't go to WDW often. Actually we took my son 3 years ago and this trip we took both of the kids (7 and 4) and it will likely be our last trip to WDW if not forever for a VERY long time. We all had a much better time in the parks and especially MK during the day with low...

    Just got back from "Ohana....Glad we kept the reservation!

    We love Ohana! We at there the week before Thanksgiving and it was still as good as we remembered it. I wish we were able to go back but of course you can't get in without an adr. The food was flavorful, hot and it just kept on coming (I agree the pork was my favorite). The pot stickers and...

    MVMCP - is this normal?

    We went to the 11/19 MVMCP and I wouldn't do it again...at least not with young children. It was really crowded and too much to try to do in a short period of time. We didn't see any characters or dance parties because we had to find a spot for the parade early. My kids would never make the...

    got back last week had problems, did any1 else? long post!!

    That pretty much sound like our experience. I let my DH deal with the mess because I would have lost my temper. He said the lines were insane in the lobby...even at 11pm!

    Did Akershus go up in price?

    We went to Akershus on the free dining plan a couple weeks ago. I felt like we totally wasted ts credits on this place. It was awful. I can't even imagine paying $40 each for cold eggs, sticky potato casserole and greasy sausages and bacon!!!

    MK Lights??

    I agree it was a great show :) One of the highlights of our trip.

    Advice about some changes...

    That would be way too many breakfasts for me but since you like breakfasts I would cancel Akershus breakfast (food was awful) and HV. I think the 1900 PF dinner is great.
