are there certain times of the year when there is more/less activity/ entertainment on the boardwalk ? I'm planning a trip for the week before Thanksgiving & leaning toward the Boardwalk Hotel in the hopes that there will be alot of fun & entertainment going on there.

I'm planning a trip w/ my dh for November 2013 - the week before Thanksgiving. 4 nights at Disney ( for me) then we're driving to Key West ( for him). this is our first trip anywhere w/ no kids since 2008 so we are splurging on the hotels. DH is not a Disney fan and he likes a hotel w/...

I've stayed at both - stayed at the Poly first and enjoyed it but had a hard time justifying the cost -the grounds are beautiful & watching Wishes on the beach can't be beat...but it just didn't "grab" me the way it does some people. I then stayed at the GF 2 years later - paid a little higher...

Hello - I'm interested in feedback and/or photos on the GF lodge tower rooms. I stayed here in 2009 in a standard room in Boca Chica ( and loved it - garden view). I'm thinking of bringing my husband next year & would like to upgrade to a lodge tower room but I can't tell if it's worth the...

silly question - but do they play Christmas music in the parks at Christmas time?

I agree! we took my daughter when she was 4 ( she's 16 now) and no - she doesn't remember it but her dad & I do & we all had a great time and wonderful memories. Fast forward 10 years - we went back when she was 14 and she was in the middle of her "miserable" years. ... She was so cranky and...

if the only reason you want the PH is to see wishes each night - drop the PH and see wishes from the beach at the Poly - they pipe in the music and you'll have a great view of the show - it's almost as if you are there!

I'm in the same boat as you - my daughter is 16 now & will be going away to college in two years ( God willing...) She doesn't care for Disney ( found it "boring." when we were there 2 years ago..) she's a rollecoaster freak & would rather go to Six Flags w/ her friends... anyway - I want to...

I vote for September. If you will be having family & friends traveling to Fla - Sept is value season & will much easier for your family & friends to afford than May. I tend to think of what is easier/more affordable for the guests - but that is just me...

that's so funny - I have the same question! I recd my first PIN for 40% in Feb 09 & used it for a trip at the GF in Sept 09 - I've only been back for 3 weeks. Yesterday I recd another PIN code for various dates starting In Jan 10 & ending in June 10. I had not planned on returning in 2010 but...

Hello - I know I can easily walk back & forth from BCV to Epcot. Since the buses can be frustrating to wait for some times ... On days when I wanted to go to the MK , I thought I'd walk over to Epcot & grab the monorail to Magic Kingdon - then take the monorail back to Epcot at the end of the...

I'm looking in to the 1 BR at the BCV for next year - probably 5 or 6 nights. I am not a vacation club member. 1.) is the LR area separated by a wall ? ( DH is a night owl while I'm an early to bed type so I don't want to be able to hear the TV in the LR while I try & sleep) 2.) Are the...

there was a time when I felt like you did. Until I took two trips to WDW in the same year. Trip #1 with college friends - no kids no hubbies. During that entire trip I kept missing my kids & wishing they were there to enjoy it all with me. I fantasized about this magical family togetherness...

I was looking at the GF FAQ thread & halfway through it mentioned current construction work being done. I didn't have time to keep going through the entire thread to get details - can anyone give me a quick update? I'll be at GF in 3 weeks. thanks!

in addition to thinking about how the school will respond, check with how your child will handle the missed work. I was the same way - in elementary school we took my daughter out on two separate occasions and had no issues so I figured I'd do the same in middle school. I took her out for 3...

will be in WDW in Sept 2009 and thinking about trying this - the outdoor dining area looks like fun . any recent reviews? thanks

thanks to everyone! I love the idea of using a gift card/ or purchasing a F&W pre-paid wristband. No - we're not on the dining plan - I recd a 40% off PIN code via email ( don't ask me how - I've only been once before and have never registered on any of the Disney sites!!) so we've used that...

hello - I will be in Disney from 9/23 to 9/27 with friends . None of us have experienced the food & wine festival in Epcot. We don't want to spend extra money on expensive ticketed events ( like gourmet meals) . what can you tell me about the event, costs involved etc. Can we just walk around &...

I stayed at the Poly last year & they piped in the music during the wishes fireworks desplay. I'm staying at the GF in Sept - do they pipe in the music here as well? also - I''ve read that the in room fridges were replaced w/ mini bars? is that correct? are small fridges still available -...

9/23/09 tp 9/27/09 - only 4 nights but staying at the GF courtesy of a 40% PIN offer I recd. I've always wanted to stay there but never could have afforded it w/ out the 40% discount!! so excited!!
