Thank you, Eljay. What is bad about the Dinosaur ride at AK? I remember riding that the last time I was there (8 years ago) and I'm thinking it wasn't that bad, not like a roller coaster would be. But maybe I'm not remembering it right?

My Mom and I are going to be staying at POR for a week next month. Mom's brother and wife spend their winters in Zephyrhills and she was wondering about calling them and seeing if they want to get together one night for dinner. We will not have a car (using Disney's Magical Express service) so...

I've never thought about it. HM is my absolute favorite MK attraction! I can't wait to go on it again next month!! :banana:

My Mom and I are going to Disney for a week next month and I'm wondering what rides/attractions she should avoid since she has a pacemaker. I don't mean the obvious ones like Tower of Terror or roller coasters but are there others that should be avoided? I definitely want to do Stitch's...

For me it's Haunted Mansion and since we'll be there for a full week this time I hope to go on that one more than once this trip! :goodvibes Also Country Bear Jamboree, It's a Small World, Carousel of Progress, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Muppets 3D and A Bug's Life.

Wow, some of you go 10-15 miles each day! That's a lot! I know I can handle it myself as I walk a lot for exercise (outdoors in the summer/fall and Walk Away The Pounds videos during the cold weather months) but I'm already nervous about my Mom not being able to handle it. We are going to...

I never have, but I'm sure my Mom will this trip. She will probably be thinking that it will be her last trip to Disneyworld. Plus she gets emotional over things. She teared up when she boarded the Disney Wonder with us, as she just never thought she would ever get the chance to go on a cruise.

We got our travel information a couple of weeks ago, and inside it said we would get the $200 gift card upon check-in at our resort.

It was back in 1973, Christmas vacation from school, I was 15 and went to the Magic Kingdom with my Mom and grandparents. Grandma was in a wheelchair because she had polio as a child and walked with a limp so she couldn't walk long distances. All of a sudden Chip and Dale came running up to...

Thanks for the info. I'm going to love these boards. Ask a question and within a few minutes you get answers! :lovestruc

I made notes, it's good to know about these spots for my Mom as I know she will get tired of walking.

We are supposed to get a $200 gift card when we check in at our resort. I read somewhere they are not good for food purchases but can you buy souvenirs with them? Can you use the gift card at Downtown Disney, or does it have to be used in the parks?

Thanks for the quick responses everyone! We will definitely buy and wear Mickey Mouse ears proudly then!! :earsgirl: :earsgirl: I didn't know there were so many different kinds, it will be hard to choose!! I also didn't know you can get just the ears on a headband either, maybe...

It will probably be 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. before we check in at our resort and I'm sure my Mom (she's 71) will be too tired to go to a park for the evening so we'll probably check out our room and relax a bit, then go explore the resort (POR) for the evening and take pictures, eat at the food court...

Forgive me if this isn't the right place for my question, but I'm wondering if adults wear the Mickey Mouse ears in the parks? I know lots of kids wear them, and they have special "bride" and "groom" ones, but I'm talking about the regular ears. I think it would be fun for my Mom and I (she's...

I voted for Carousel of Progress. It is my favorite attraction. I just love it and I'm so glad it's still there. I'm looking forward to seeing it at least once more, maybe twice, on my Disneyworld trip next month. The last time I saw it was January 2001 so it's been awhile. It was in...

I booked the trip for myself and my Mom and we are doing the 4 nights/3 nights free promotion too. I thought about going in early November but it would have cost us over $1000 more to go then instead of March using the promotion so we decided to go in March. We aren't using the dining plan...

My Mom and I will be at POR March 8 - 15. Can't wait!! :banana:

My Mom and I will be at POR March 8 - 15. She has been wanting to go back to Disney before she's "too old to enjoy it." She's 71 and it's been several years since her last visit. So I told her I would look into it, and had seen the ad on TV for the buy 4/get 3 free so checked into it and...

Mom and I will be at Port Orleans. We've never stayed there so we're looking forward to seeing what it's like. From all the pictures I've seen it looks like a lovely resort!!
