    Northerners, how do you typically dress for winter in Disney World?

    From Connecticut here so used to the cold. We've gone many times in December. It's really best to prepare for anything. Most trips I'm comfortable with shorts, a t-shirt and sweatshirt for mornings/evenings. However... we did have two very cold December trips. Like cold enough to kill all...

    difficulties with on-line reservations?

    Anyone else having difficulty with the online reservation system? We've been trying to book our vacation online through Disney's official website for the past two days. All works out fine until we get to the last step when I get a picture of Stitch and it says "Someone ate the page." Have...

    Should I go in November or March?

    Quick background - husband and I are planning a trip to Disney without children :) We've been many times before and take a rather laid-back approach to the trip. We're trying to decide between November 2017 and March 2018. Specifically the week after Thanksgiving/first week of December and...

    Should I go for it?? Wilderness Lodge or Coronado Springs

    For my family, I would spend the money for WL for all of the above reasons. We've stayed there a few times and never been disappointed. Also, we just got back from a Disney trip and went to visit CSR because we'd never been out there and thought we'd go for dinner. My husband kept saying he...

    Official Poly construction update thread **updated video page 103(2/17/15)**

    Just got back from a week's stay at the Poly yesterday. Have to say that the construction wasn't much of an issue for us. We had a standard view room and originally asked for Tahiti (our favorite) but with the construction I assumed they were not filling Tahiti or Rapa Nui so we decided to...

    Typhoon Lagoon question

    We are going to Typhoon Lagoon this September for the first time. My teenage daughter, although an excellent swimmer, is a ride wimp. She knows she will love the wave pool, the shark experience and the lazy river. Are any of the slide-type rides milder than others? She'd like to try one but...

    fastpass+ question

    I'm planning for a trip next month and am just learning about the magicbands and fastpass+. I was able to order my magicbands with no problem but I had a fastpass+ question. I've been able to reserve 3 fastpasses for each day. However, the only options available to me are various rides. I...

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: June 2013

    I was able to get magic bands customized last night (leaving 9/21) and have not done on-line check-in so I think that is no longer required.

    Truly No rooms available?? Or website Glitch?

    My experience with checking room availability has been that it will let me check one or two resorts and show availability and then it will show every other resort as full. If I sign out and then back in again it will show me availability in the resorts they just told me were full. Again, it...

    Why aren't rooms available?

    Don't know if it's just me but I noticed something strange when checking on the Disney reservation website. When I search the first two or three resort options it will list availability. After that no matter what I check it comes up as no rooms available. If I sign out and reload the page and...

    Could POR really be full?

    I've been doing the same thing you are, except for the Poly in September. Some Poly people with reservations are being called and asked to move because of overbooking and I wanted to see what options are available to me. Anyway, I noticed a quirky thing about the Disney website. When I go to...

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: June 2013

    Just FYI for anyone who is interested. Due to all the information coming in about construction and potential longhouse closings in September I called last night regarding our September 21-28 reservation. We had requested Tahiti longhouse standard view and I had originally thought we would...

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: June 2013

    Hi! We're going to be at the Poly at the end of September. We had originally requested a garden view room in Tahiti longhouse because we've loved it in the past. Really liked the quiet, the beach and the closeness to the TTC which we used a lot. I just read that Tahiti renovations have not...

    What makes you keep going back???

    Besides the Disney magic, I love the fact that compared to other family vacations it is truly stress-free. Don't have to plan three meals a day, grocery shop, clean or really do anything except have fun. It truly is a complete break from my routine. Also, I love the Disney transportation...

    What food/cuisine does Disney need, or need improved?

    Would love to see Vietnamese cuisine - it would make a great cart food. Could offer summer rolls - the ones in rice paper and not fried because they're light, easy to prepare, require minimal cooking beforehand and ingredients are inexpensive. Also, a good bowl of pho offered at a stand would...

    Think I'm in love with WL, but are their rooms darker than Poly?

    We've stayed at both. I didn't find the Poly dark at all but the WL definitely was dark. I think the smaller size of the room made it feel darker as well (we had a room with bunk beds which are smaller than the rooms with two queens). That said, I loved both resorts. We didn't spend much...

    Disney Vacation Nightmare

    For what it's worth I'm praying that it's the Norovirus and your child can avoid surgery. I am a middle school teacher in CT and in the past few weeks 2 of my 15 students have been hospitalized for what was believed to be appendicitis and turned out to be a really bad GI bug. (Don't know...

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: September 2012

    Hi! We'll be there the week of Sept. 21 and have requested Tahiti also (although garden view). We have the same concerns. Want to stay close to the TTC and not sure what other longhouse to request if Tahiti is not finished. Keeping our fingers crossed!

    Snail Mail PIN Code!

    Don't know if this will help anyone but I received the same PIN and as we were planning a September trip it was perfect! After years of waiting and mutiple Disney visits finally, a PIN!!! I called today to see what the discounts were on a few different rooms. Not the most knowledgable CM -...
