If it's the same deal as last year, we were able to get child's ticket at half price with the purchase of one "adult" ticket. (Our 10-yr old was an adult)

My DD and DS went last month, and no characters for them either (didn't expect any though). Both still had fun, and I think I too noticed a last-minute pirate getting in on the action. Good luck!

Wow, I guess I haven't been logging on to the DIS as often as I used to (since I'm suffering from Post-Trip Traumatic Dis-Order), and I really appreciate all your nice accolades. In response to the autograph book question, my kids only collected six autographs this time (two on 1st day at AK...

Thanks for all your nice comments. This was my first trip report (also first trip with the DIS), and I'm glad I took the time to do it. I know I picked up a lot of tips and had lots of laughs reading others' reports, and it sure does help to pass the time while waiting for a next trip. I'm...

Hope so too...maybe we should start a petition!

Re the chicken wrap - That's it! It was a fishy taste...must have been anchovies! ARRGH! Way too many of them though! Re. the movie - would have to be daft to miss it! Girls at work all read book and we're all going together, followed by a drink at 127! Can't wait. Thanks for your comments!

All in all, wonderful trip. (our three family trips have been "great, better, best") Got to see/experience a lot of things we'd missed (or kids were too young for) on previous trips. Would have liked a few more days to experience more of Epcot (instead of just walking around it), and see more...

Saturday March 10 - Pixie Dust - Fantasmical! Treat 'o Day - Mickey Bars; Park o' Day - Disney-MGM Studios Morning: Today was to be Typhoon Lagoon Day (according to itinerary), but was a bit coolish/chance of rainish, so opted to pursue Big Break at Studios instead. Got there by opening...

the on-site DISNEY hotels don't offer government rates, but the Swan/Dolphin, which is owned by Starwood, I think does. As I said, Disney's CRO will book the S/D for you, but they're not authorized to give the special rates. Try calling the S/D directly at the number listed on this site (I...

I was the one who mentioned it on a recent post. We had originally booked the ASMo for $105/night (U.S.)...I wasn't even checking the resort borad after we booked, 'cause I thought at least that part of the vacation was settled. Then something made me check it a couple of months ago. Saw a...

Spending nights of Mar 8,9,10 at ASMo, then 11th and 12th at Swan (found out could get gov't rate, even for Cdn government, giving us a deluxe hotel for only $20 more than value...but by the time we discovered this, we could only get two nights). Regardless, we've planned the itinerary...

I was actually just coming to this Board to post the same thing. We're leaving in 10 DAYS! and I really wanted to say thanks to everyone who took the time and trouble to post a report. They were great, contained useful information, and I loved visiting WDW vicariously through everyone else's...

On our last two trips, we told the kids way too early (4-5mos) and it was the "countdown to Chirstmas syndrome." DD had trouble getting to sleep and the wait seemed painfully long to her. So this time, although we booked back in September, we didn't say anything to them until Valentine's...

We're leaving on March 8 (19 days), and we still haven't told the kids! (They think they're just going to visit DA and DU at florida home...they'll be in for a big surprise once we get there!)
