    How Busy Will it Be 3-9 to 16?

    We just got a reservation for this time period and were told the room we got at CBR is the last open room in all of the moderates. This is the latest we've been to DW - are we going to be surprised by crowds? Previous trips in late Feb were always very pleasant - even during Mardi Gras. How...

    Tipping Mousekeeping

    $1.00 per person per day - tip daily - mousekeepers change from day to day. My mother-in-law wrote notes every day to the mousekeeper telling her what a great time she had had, where she had gone, what she had seen. The surprises when she got back to her room were amazing! Being treated...

    How many days are you actually in the parks?

    Everyday that we are there - that's what we go for! Even the day that we visit the water park we will go to the park in the evening. Thought that we might just hang out the day we arrive but we couldn't wait until the next day - will try whatever park has fireworks on that first day. 12...

    WDW in March?

    Last time we went was th first week in March - even though it was Mardi Gras and you're supposed to have a lot of people escaping New Orleans we did not think it was crowded. Liked it so much we planned this trip for the same time. We had cool weather on a couple trips in Feb ( cool for FLA...

    Electric Floating Parade???

    Where is the best place to watch what my guidebook calls the electric floating parade and how would we get there? Is this an every night occurance or how would I find the schedule? How would you rate it? We're looking for new things that we've never done before and thought this could be fun...

    What if you don't want Priority Seating?

    From your last post Gilligan it sounds like you're skipping a character breakfast???? With the ages of your kids I'd say don't miss it - Mine are 12 and 9 - I thought that they might have grown out of it but when I mentioned the thought they were adamant that we had to do one again this trip...

    What if you don't want Priority Seating?

    I know just how your husband feels - 22 days to go but we won't make any PS. We never have - just can't plan that far ahead and we have never not gotten into places on our plan. We will probably call a day ahead for a character BF but other than that we've taken our chances in the past and it...

    What to order/not order at 50's PT?

    My husband loves to go here later in the trip for Pot Roast. By that time he is ready for home cooking and this hits the spot. My kids always want to go because they have so much fun. This trip I told them we would be doing Sci Fi instead of Prime Time. How is the food/atmosphere there?

    What's Your Favorite Character Breakfast?

    We've done the Contempory 4 times. I think it is time to try something new. Any suggestions? Saw a post about taking the boat to Cape May from MGM. Can anyone tell me more about that? Where do I get the boat? We'll have a car - should we drive?:confused: 1 month from...

    Family Magic Tour

    OK - I've found out that my kids are too young for Keys to the Kingdom. Someone suggested the Family Magic Tour. The description doesn't help much. Has anyone tried it? What did you think? My kids are 12 and 9 - will they enjoy it? Thanks in advance.

    Crowds Mardi Gras week?

    We were there 2 years ago over MG - stayed at Port Orleans (at that time). Crowds didn't seem bad. And unless they do this all of the time PO had special MG parades and activities (with free beads) that made it fun. My husband still recalls the dancing girl on stilts (I think he secretly...

    What's New?

    We just booked our next trip for March 1-8. Last time was 2 years ago. This is our 4th time at WDW. The kids are now 12 and 9. Looking for suggestions for keeping it "fresh", new things since the last trip, age appropriate activites. Any suggestions from you experts on these boards will be...

    Favorite Dining Please

    We really like the Prime Time cafe at MGM. The food is good (I had some great salmon , while my husband had pot roast, and the kids had the Disney chicken strips). The 50's kitchen atmosphere, the waitstaff reminding you "no elbows onthe table", all were great fun. Our waiter Dale had the...

    What to include on my Packing List?

    I always pack a small flashlight. I get up earlier than everyone else and I can get around the room without waking them up. And have you ever been in a hotel room when lights go out? You'll never leave home without one after that. How about a book to read on the plane and at the pool?
