    Strategy for my lovable, yet slow moving family

    We are so excited to be returning to WDW, and surprising one and only DD, and her cousin with our Christmas trip. I am worried however about 1)not being able to move them up and out the door early enough to secure FPs 2) Not sure if they dont allow folks into the parks if they reach...

    Lounges at Value Resorts?

    Thanks so much! A live piano bar to boot, that might just tip the scales towards our first moderate stay.

    Lounges at Value Resorts?

    Is it my imagination, or after searching WDW accomadations, maybe I just don't see it, are there still lounges at value resorts? When we stayed at ASM, there was a small lounge outside of the dining area. This is not a deal breaker, but could be a serious situation for DW and myself after a...

    Not the first Im sure...

    Thanks, those are all good suggestions. Since we're not driving though, I think $10 for the coffe maker and leave it for the next junkie is probably the way to go. We are not renting a car either, so Im not sure if I could bus to Target/Stuff-Mart our first morning.

    When should I add DDP?

    Hey there! We are confirmed for ASMO in Jan. 09, but as of now only have an ADR for CRT for DDprincess: B-day. I read that it changes your ressie. to a a package, so does that mean deposit? Does it also mean I abandon purchasing park tickets through AAA? Would a travel agent from AAA be...

    Not the first Im sure...

    OK, just like other DISer's I can't live without coffee:surfweb: . Of course we are staying at ASMO so no coffe maker. How crazy, or how unlikely would it be to ship a small coffemaker to the resort, then ship it back when we check out? Whadya think?

    Some dinner advice

    Hey there, The other day my DW :goodvibes took a long enough break from scrapbooking to say, "whatever you decide" so you know that means I better not get it wrong. We want to use our table service at dinner each night and the loose touring plan is Day 1, AK, Day 2-3, MK Day 4 Epcot. We...

    Dine with the FG or princesses?

    Thank you, I think breakfast will be fine as well, not to mention saving money and it will be a easier sell on DW when I tell her no characters at dinner. It seems like the tradeoff there is that lithograph. Thanks again.

    Dine with the FG or princesses?

    I have read many times how hard it is to get a ressie at CRT. My DW thinks the birthday dinner for our DDprincess: is the must have since the fairy godmother and others are present. One guidebook says "also includes an appearance by the FG", another says "landing an ADR at dinner is somewhat...

    180 +10 Please explain...

    OK, this site is so eye opening, even after buying two guide books, which are excellent resources, HOWEVER I had never heard of 180 +10 until today. Here's the question: when booking character meals, is it still 180 days out minimum, or can I call right now? We booked ASMv and I have had July 9...

    To refrigerate, or not to refrigerate?

    So in all the planning and buzz about our first family trip to WDW (We are booked now!!! Very excited) my lovely wife, is that a DW?, and I are having the great refrigerator debate. Do we rent one for 5 nights or not? I have read about Garden Grocer and they seem like an excellent option for...

    Am I crazy to even THINK about staying offsite????

    We stayed off property in 04' but did not have the "nugget" with us, nor a car but found the bus system to be extremely easy to use (if you don't mind waiting here and there). Saving half for me personally, would outweigh everything else. Congratulations on your ADRs, did you happen to get a...

    Is the coffee really that bad?

    I am looking at this situation too and I think a travel press is the way to go! We are staying at ASM and I will just get hot water from the food court in the am, crawl back to the room and bring my own ground coffee! Both Starbucks and Caribou coffee sell them.

    Need morning coffee strategy...Pop Century

    Thank goodness there are others, I thought I was the only one in a panic about not having coffee except at the food court! No plug for McDonalds, but in a pinch I have been known to drink their brew, better than Nescafe any day! Self professed coffee snob and proud to proclaim my one last vice...

    Am I The Only One With SIMPLE Expectations?

    Your right, I dont know what people think, just what I observe. Good for you if you can afford the Floridian, it looks beautiful. We can't, I just simly saying that you will probably (and should) get better treatment than say our stay at the ASMo. In the spirit of the original thread I think...

    Am I The Only One With SIMPLE Expectations?

    I totally agree with you. We are planning our first trip with our one and only "princess" in January. This is only my second post so I will be brief. People expect so much for so little and are so put off in return these days. They should anticipate that if they are paying $82 dollars a...
