    Non-Disney Restaurants that are worth your while!

    I do not do the driving while on vacation so not positive of the location for our favorite places for this last vacation. Orlando Ale House - outside the exit from DTD (maybe off Lake Buena Vista and 535) Cheesecake Factory in the Mall at Millinea (sp) - off I-4 and exit 78, I think...

    What time would you leave Windsor Hills for RD?

    As far as getting 1st time pins, you will have to go through the turnstiles in order to do this. We always try to go to Guest Relations in Downtown Disney on our arrival day if we need pins for that trip.

    Suggestions for non-park day

    During our DTD trip we are planning on doing the hot air balloon. Something new for us and reasonably priced. If the kids had it their way it would be DQ though!

    water park option

    It is valid for as many days as your "base ticket". Example, if you buy a 6 day Water Park Fun and More pass you will have 6 "big park" ticket days and 6 "small park" days that include both water parks and Disney Quest. So if you are planning more than 1 day at a water park or a visit to DQ it...

    Park Hop or MNSSHP?

    MNSSHP gets my vote too. My kids loved it. I would do AK in the morning. You should be able to get into MK for the party at 4 pm which gives you a good amount of time at MK.

    We want to try something new this year and are going to attempt to eat and drink our way around the countries. :woohoo: I have a great drink list from another thread but have come up empty handed in my search for a great thread about what foods to try. There will be 5 adults and 3...

    AM or PM EMH

    When it used to be just me and dh we would do emh in the pm. NOW, when we go as a family we prefer doing emh in the am. It is easier for us to get the kids going early in the morning vs fighting with grumpy tired kids at the end of a long hot day! We find for the most part, morning emh is...

    which water park for young children??

    We have gone to both H2O parks for the past 3 years and this year we will be going to both, twice! Mine have been going since the youngest was 3. They like both of them for different reasons. They could stay in the wave pool all day at Typhoon and enjoy the kiddie area at Blizzard Beach...

    Terre Verde Resort, any reviews?

    We enjoyed our 2 week stay in our townhouse at Terre Verde. I would say it is 20 - 30 minutes from the parks. At first we thought it was a bit far away compared to the previous year, but by the second day had changed our minds. The pool was somewhat small but not busy every time we were...

    On the back of the military salute hard park ticket it reads " Military personnel or their spouse must be present at time of purchase and activation". Also, "please activate at any ticket window prior to first use, Military I.D. Required. Hopefully someone else has experience and will be...

    2010 Armed Forces Salute

    I apoligize if this question has been answered already... My husband is currently deployed and cannot purchase the tickets. We do not live near a military installation for me to purchase the tickets. Would I be able to have a friend in the military purchase all 6 tickets for us...

    Terra Verde Pool Home Recommendations or other resort?

    Can't recommend a home but we stayed here for 2 weeks last year in a townhome and really enjoyed it. I am always a bit hesitant to try out a new resort but glad we did. Some pluses I liked were the gated community, smaller complex size and less crowded. It is a little further out but not...

    Armed Forces Vacation Club - Anyone ever booked an Orlando stay?

    We stayed at Silver Lake on a ground floor 2 bdrm unit and loved it. Would go back again if we could find openings for our dates. It is a smaller, gated resort, nice pools, quiet, and CLOSE to Disney. There is also a back gate out of the resort that can't be more than 2 miles from Disney...
