    Let's change the mood....What is the nicest thing you have done for another guest?

    We always try to work in some daily random act of kindness when we are at WDW and have done many of the things mentioned here. One time we were on Main Street and I saw this older gentleman (70+) trying to get his wife, who was in a wheelchair, up a curb. I stopped and helped him for which...

    Discount Disney merchandise in Baltimore, MD area!

    I'm not sure about the inventory question. I usually stumble upon them when I'm at the mall and usually only go in the one time. The last time I was there I added my name to the mailing list, hence the advanced information. I know that the inventory is made up of items that did not sell...

    My brother and his family want to come with us!

    My only suggestion would be to get them some info ahead of time so they can see what they might like to do. Any guidebooks you can spare, websites, free Disney vacation video/DVD could help them decide what they'd like to do. I took a trip with my brothers' families and I was, by far, the...

    Those little boats

    I'm pretty sure you can rent them over at the Yacht Club (across the water from the Boardwalk). You can also rent them at the Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary, Yacht & Beach Club, Fort Wilderness, Carribbean Beach, Coronado Springs and Downtown Disney Marketplace...

    First Timers...A few questions

    1. Getting the best deal. - It is possible to get a great deal by booking everything yourself. Check out Mousesavers.com for a great site for discounts for everything Disney. A lot of people enjoy the planning and discount hunting part as much as the trip. If that isn't for you, a travel...

    Fantasyland--what to do first?

    Generally, I agree with what others have said based on wait times and FastPass use on Pooh. HOWEVER... The last time we were there, we went over to Pooh very early and were able to ride through the ride with Eeyore. It was a big hit with everyone in our group and Eeyore (riding with us) got...

    My Thoughts on 4 Days at WDW

    I have no idea what a new film would cost to shoot, but... I humbly suggest that a change in the film would cascade to other, necessary changes. The coordination of the film to the seat movements and other in-theater effects (ie. any smell-o-vision moments) would have to be done and tested...

    brother bear - another stampede?

    Not really a stampede, but the same type of crowd movement (I assume created using the same program) happens at the end of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". The shot starts out in close with the crowd carrying Quasimodo off but then backs off to an aerial view as the final reprise of "The Bells...

    Are all conventions held at CSR?

    I was able to confirm most of your numbers at www.swandolphinmeetings.com and www.disneymeetings.com. By the way, the Boardwalk Resort also has 20K sq ft for meetings. There was a disconnect on the Y&BC info though. The website says they have 73K sq ft of space, not 273 sq ft as you state...

    Whoo hoo, just booked AKL!!

    I would just sneak in the word "complimentary" on your upgrade request and change the wording from "...would love to be..." to "...would really appreciate being..." . Wouldn't want to get a surprise bill for the price difference! :eek: You mention the day bed but not the king. I'm not...

    which wdw resort worth day visit

    Don't get these boards all stirred up about pool hopping. :p In general, pool hopping is a big NO-NO. Feel free to enjoy almost everything else about the resort, just stay out of the pool. Only DVC members are permitted to pool hop "...if these pools are not at capacity on any given day...

    which/how many stroller(s) to take

    Whatever you decide, definitely have seats for all three! We took a trip with my two kids (1 & 3) and two nieces (both 8) and the nieces were stealing rides in the little ones' stroller. You might want to find an umbrella-type double stroller. That would be easier to manage before the trip...

    Room cards..anyone collect them?

    Doesn't everyone??? :p Not only do I have old room keys, I have a pass from DisneyQuest Chicago (which doesn't exist anymore). Maybe it'll be worth something someday....

    Are all conventions held at CSR?

    I have no first-hand knowledge of convention facilities at WDW or verification of what I was told, but a Guest Services rep at the Contemporary told me this past August that Coronado Springs has the largest single convention room but the Contemporary has the greatest total square footage for...

    Room request question

    Sure. Why wouldn't it be OK? Just make sure that they understand that your priorities are connecting (or do you mean adjacent, there's a difference) rooms and THEN the bunkbed request. No guarantees you'll get either, but it never hurts to ask. If you have separate reservations, make sure...

    AKL room request...help!

    I would suggest calling the resort a few days before the arrival date and making exactly that request to them. I would also recommend mentioning that you would appreciate any complimentary upgrades that might be available (AKL is 90% savannah view, so you have a shot if they are not booked up)...

    CBR Pools

    I believe all Disney pools are heated. Not "nice warm bath" heated, but not frozen over either. ;)

    Whoo hoo, just booked AKL!!

    Be sure to contact the resort a few days before you go and tell them you would appreciate any complimentary upgrades if they are available. No guarantees, but since 90% of AKL is savannah view, if they aren't too busy, you've got a shot at it. I wouldn't tell the kids in advance though (just...
