    How to handle crazies?

    Maybe I'm crazy, but I would have tried another tactic with them. We had a family "move in" on us at TL once. We were just in the chairs by the wave pool. There were 4 of us and we had a beach towel, xtra clothes, etc. on 4 chairs. We were gone for about 30 mins and came back to find...

    Can't decide POR or POFQ

    We have stayed at both. We always spend a day around our resort, too. Both times on our "resort day" we started out with a walk to the other resort, a visit to their gift shop, a snack in the food court, a stroll around, and back to our home resort. Once back at our home resort, we took...

    BC/YC and BWI Questions

    I think CS is more of an issue at breakfast than at any other time. We have gotten things from the bakery and they were very good, but that was on days when we had an early lunch planned. Our kids love the pizza window on the Boardwalk and I seem to remember them getting some corndogs at...

    If the most important amenity was easy access to laundry...

    My 2 faves were the YC and POR. It didn't matter what time of day you went to the YC laundry...at the most there was only 1 other person in there. At POR I liked the fact that there was a laundry room next to the quiet pool so it wasn't much of a walk and it was never busy. I did laundry...

    How can anyone not enjoy themselves at WDW??

    I know several different people who took one trip to WDW and came back hating it. First example is a couple we know who always take resort vacations. They go to some resort somewhere and they always take his mom. We found out that they pretty much stay drunk the entire time and mom watches...

    Disney Hotel Reviews - Do you consider them?

    I think you have to judge the "tone" of the review. Some people are being truly honest...cleanliness issues do exist everywhere...even at Disney! Some people just have an axe to grind, and some people are just impossible to please. We have stayed at a lot of the WDW resorts and I have to...

    Yacht Club or Poly for family of older teens

    YC was our teens favorite resort! But, in all fairness, they have never stayed at the POLY. They loved being able to walk around the Boardwalk at night and since EPCOT and DHS are their 2 favorite parks, they loved the location. They also loved SAB. It was easy for them to go to either...

    Does anyone plan fantasy trips?

    I actually have a "fantasy" itinerary stored on my computer. It's basically a rough draft of what I would do if money were no object. We haven't been to WDW since 08 (due to several illnesses/deaths in the family and the fact that DH and I starting a business from the ground up). We are...

    Anyone ever go resort hopping by bus?

    We always spend a day resort hopping. On our last trip, we were at POR. Our plan was: Bus to DHS Boat to Epcot Resorts. We got off the boat at the 1st stop and toured the resorts around the lake. We caught a bus from DHS to AKL. Toured AKL and caught a bus from there to MK. We caught the...

    Do you stay the whole day at the park?

    We have been to WDW many times and I can only remember 1 day that we were in a park at rope drop and made it to closing. We enjoy our breaks, though. Returning to the hotel for rest and/or a swim is part of vacation to us. We live in Louisiana and are used to the heat and humidity and...

    Character Dining... please wait your turn

    We had a similar thing happen to us at Donald's breakfast in AK (back when it was in Restaurantosaurus...not Tusker House). My son was only 4 and Donald was his hero. I planned alot of our trip around where he could see Donald. This breakfast was special for him. AS SOON as Donald walked...

    WDW SNAKE BITE - pics of my son's "adventure

    First of all, I'm glad your son is ok. Thank you for posting this. A couple of years ago we were at POR and the water was a little low, so alot of the cypress knees were exposed at the edge of the river. There were some kids playing on them (which is dangerous anyway, even without snakes!)...

    I would love to hear all the great things about YC!!

    The YC is our favorite resort! I can't think of one negative thing about it. Others have pointed all the great things about the resort, so I just wanted to tell you about something that happened to us. We returned to our room one day for a shower/nap and shortly after we arrive in the...

    I didn't expect...(inspired by other lists, please share!)

    I didn't expect 1. That after our first trip together, WDW would be the ONLY place my DH would want to vacation from then on.:thumbsup2 2. That I would jump up and down when I saw the view from our room at the YC.:yay: 3. That I would spend an ENTIRE DAY in the Dinoland section of AK (DS...
