    Ever been to DLP? How do the cast members at Paris compare to the CMs at California?

    You're getting great responses here. We've been to Disneyland Paris three times since 2000 and the difference in the CMs is simply a cultural difference. The French are not rude...it's a different culture. They find it rude when tourists walk into a shop, don't say hello, and proceed to...

    The Real World versus Disney World...

    My kids are 7 and 9 and we've had the good fortune to travel overseas quite a bit with them, since they were infants. They enjoy and appreciate seeing other countries but see Disney as a totally alternate vacation and look forward to each equally - there's really no comparing, they're such...

    Rainy mnsshp

    Hey, just wants to point out this is not true. We got our cards at 11:30 last night with zero wait. In fact, the firehouse was closed and CMs were just hanging around outside with cards and a hole punch.

    Do parents trick or treat at MNSSHP?

    Here now and my wife and I have pounds of candy. My 9 year old is the one worried that all the candy is unhealthy for us...while we act like kids!

    Rainy mnsshp

    Resting up for the party tonight right now at the Poly. Forecast looks like the storms subside around 8. We may be okay for the party.

    mnsshp in the rain?

    I'm reading that most of the thunderstorms should be over by 8PM. We're hoping for a fun, late night tonight.

    Silliest question/comment you've heard about Disney?

    On the monorail right now as I post. Just heard this, "Does this stop at Animal Kingdom?" A minute later, while they were looking through their brochures....,"Ooh, this Chef Mickey looks good, let's eat there tonight."

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: September 2012

    Funny, we're here too (Rarotonga) and did the same itinerary yesterday and doing similar today: Breakfast at Ohana, MK, pool and rest followed by our first Halloween party! Maybe we'll run into each other by the pool.

    Magical Express - Split Stay return confirmation confusion?

    Just confirming what previous poster said. No need to worry at all, they can even fix it for you easily while you're here.

    Here now, Rain and more Rain

    We're here now and we saw the storm in the distance but it never rained here at the Poly or at MK. These things are quite isolated sometimes.

    Live reports from MNSSHP 2012!

    Here now and was at the firehouse to get Sorcerers cards last night. Was told that this is the only location to get the Halloween card but there is no reason at all to wait on line at 7. They give them out all night.

    At Mk now

    Hear at the Poly now, got here Friday night. Animal Kingdom yesterday was great, nothing over a 10-15 minute wait all day really, including Everest. Last night went to the MK, just for the parade and Sorcerers really, but it was crowded! Wait times for rides at 7PM were longer than we have...

    Character comtradictions

    Just told my wife that I was having this discussion with you fine people, and she wanted to me to ask this... For those of you worried about the inconsistencies, etc. and how to explain them to your kids.....do your kids think the movies are real??? For example, people mentioned the Beast...

    Character comtradictions

    Yeah, I thought about the Santa thing, which I have a whole other set of opinions about that I'll spare you from, but the characters are a little different. Most of them aren't even people! They're giant animals, or aliens like Stitch. Kinda weird for kids to think there are 5ft dogs and...

    Character comtradictions

    Before we found these boards, my wife and I had no idea some of you let your children believe these things are real! So weird to us! Not judging or anything, believe me, just very surprised. We never even thought of the characters like that. Our kids have been going since birth, basically...

    Online check in ... Yeah or ney?

    We've been doing online check in since it became available. Last year, at the Beach Club, we were even chosen as family of the day and upgraded to concierge, so I doubt there is a downside to online check-in as far as upgrades are concerned.

    Best Place for Fireworks at Boardwalk

    You really can't see anything but the high stuff from there, and even then it's not a good view at all. There is really no "mass exodus" through the international gateway after Illuminations. It's the same 5 minute walk it always is, you'll just have a little company. No wait to get out or...
