Thanks all! I thought that would be the case (not gaining lots of time for the price) but needed to convince my DH that I wasn't crazy and/or "wasting" Disney time. Have a Disney day!!!

We leave on a Sunday (plane at 4:15) and with ME, we'd have to leave the park around 12:15 to get back to the resort in time to retrieve checked bags and be at the bus stop for the Magical Express by 1 for a theoretical 1:15 pickup. My DH thinks we should shell out the $ for a cab or limo so...

My kids LOVED Epcot at those ages -- the Kidcot Fun stops, of course -- be aware, they are often hidden in the back of pavilions in the countries. At least three times that I can think of, characters came out to the Fun Stops (I think they were on their way to the autographing, but the kids at...

Just wanted to add a big hip-hip-hooray to all the wonderful CMs. I can't imagine they get paid nearly enough to take some of the things dished out to them, but the fact that SO many of them go out of their way to help out (and even just smile and be cheerful) is what makes the Disney magic so...

I just want to add that we aren't novices -- we use all planning tools we can find (this forum being invaluable!!) and have always had not only a plan but a backup plan, but nothing prepared us for the crowd levels. You literally couldn't move at some points. In the past I've been very...

Last week Test Track was the only one I saw. Splash Mountain and Tower of Terror specifically were NOT doing it, and I didn't see the availability for it on any of the other rides.

We were there for Thanksgiving week and everything was up, including the gingerbread houses. (Maybe there's some stuff not up, but I can't think of where else they could put stuff!)

Hope I can make sense of this: If you are standing FACING the amphitheater where CP takes place, and you have your BACK to the American pavillion (thus you are on the walkway around the world showcase facing the Epcot ball): the line for people WITH the dinner reservations is to the LEFT of...

We found the crowds last week to be absolutely hideous. We've been Thanksgiving week before and never seen it like this. Sunday: Not too bad Monday: Getting worse -- couldn't figure out why things were taking so much longer than in previous years. Tuesday: Morning EMH at AK on...

I wanted to see it the first night (the day after Thanksgiving) and was unable to get a dining package reservation, so I thought I'd wait in the stand by line. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! By 4 pm (for the 5:00 show), the stand-by line was so long it was being roped off into several back and forth weaves...

Caitsmama - I'll look for you! Keeping our fingers crossed for some quality pool time . . . (PS - LOVE your scrapbooking posts, I've been lurking over there as well) [Okay, really going to finish work now and stop reading posts!!!!]

I've done it both ways (requesting and not requesting) and have had decent luck. My first trip, I requested a particular building of the former Dixie Landings and I got it. When we first went to WL, I requested bunk beds and got it. I LIKE to think that because I"m only asking for one thing...

This will be our second Thanksgiving trip. A few years ago the weather was GORGEOUS -- couldn't have been better. Sunny & warm, but not hot -- could use the pools, etc. This year looks to be cooler, but it's still better than summer-hot!! If your choices are summer or Thanksgiving, turkey...

Thanks everyone!!! Hope to run into some of you there and that we all have a magical trip -- I'll be the mom clinging to the lamppost next Saturday refusing to leave . . .ever!!! :teeth:

Thanks again to everyone -- leaving in 7 hours and already drooling over the thought of steak and ice cream (it doesn't take much for me, and hearing mostly awesome reviews . . . well, let's just say breakfast is looking mighty poor in comparison). THANKS!!!! :goodvibes

Does anyone know if Downtown Disney is open on Thanksgiving Day? We were thinking of using that as our "day off" from the parks, as the wall to wall people I keep hearing about seem less "festive" than lying around by the pool did. Now that the weather forecast is a bit chillier, I'm trying to...

LANYARDS!! I knew I was forgetting something . . . forget the toothpaste :teeth: , we need to find our lanyards!

We're leaving tomorrow and I'm still not packed. I'm supposed to be working but am reading the DIS instead. And making lists of things I SHOULD pack on little pieces of scrap paper all over my desk . . . and thinking of questions I SHOULD ask on the boards . . .

Thanks to everyone! These are all awesome tips and we cannot wait! DrmWvr1299 -- I packed all the paperwork already and can't remember the exact rate, but I want to guess and say around $270 with all the taxes? It was better than what we could get at WL on a non-AP rate, and there were no...
