    What's your favorite WDW hotel?

    Of the ones at which we've stayed (man, what lengths I'll go to in order to avoide ending the sentence with a preposition), each had their own reasons/benefits: Contemporary - Was very close to MK, which was all that was there back then. Shouldn't count for this list. POFQ - Loved the...

    AKL...anything negative?

    I'm really reaching here, but we were down at one end of one of the trails and it was a fair hike to the lobby. That having been said, we're headed back in three weeks!

    Our L&M Car rental report.

    You are correct. Just went back through my records after reading your post and realized that it was Dollar, not Hertz. My apologies to the Hertz folks.

    Our L&M Car rental report.

    I wholeheartedly agree with an L&M recommendation. On our September trip, I had reservations with Hertz. The rep at the counter had trouble with his credit card machine and finally decided that it must have been my card. I was 100% certain that the card was fine and asked him to try it again...

    How do I make the most of one day USO/IOA?

    Going to WDW in September, but want to take one day to experience the best of USO/IOA. I bought the multi-day ticket, with the understanding that with a multi-day ticket, you can a) get early entry b) visit both parks using only one day c) get multiple express passes. First, am I right...

    Water shoes -- cost and what parks have?

    While you're unlikely to find them this late in the season up north, I'm fairly certain that if you hit one of the stores in the Disney area (Walmart, Publix, whatever) you'll be able to find them for a much better price than you'll pay on property.

    Disney Magic for Adults?

    Remember - if you tell them it's his birthday, you're lying. HOWEVER, if you say you're CELEBRATING his birthday, then you're OK with the ethics police! :cool:

    Any off property hotels to really avoid?

    Days Inn Maingate East is awful. It was dirty, our curtains fell off the window, and the staff was rude. Thank God we only stayed on arrival night.

    Big News for Multi-Day Ticket Holders

    I'm glad I ran across this info, but Universal won't be. I have a package that includes a 7-day Disney hopper and a one-day Universal ticket. I was going to upgrade to a multi-day ticket for Universal, since this will be my first trip to there (and 4th to Disney). The reason that I was going...

    Just back AKL, prob. won't do it again

    I could go on raving about AKL, but I posted a trip report. While we didn't go concierge, we did have a deluxe savannah room, so I can't address the size issue in a smaller room. I do maintain however, that the bacon cheeseburger at Mara was the best I've ever had, Beaches and Cream...

    8-day Disney trip Part III - May 3-5 (BWV & CSR)

    <b>Day 6 - Thursday, May 3</b> Another early wake-up! We’re apparently not the types to go on vacation to relax! LOL. We have breakfast PS’s this morning for 7:30 at Donald’s Breakfastasaurus, so the alarm rings at 6:00. That’s earlier than I wake up at home! Mickey Mouse calls 15 minutes...

    8-day Disney trip Part II - April 30 - May 2 (BWV)

    <b>Day 3 - Monday, April 30</b> 5:45 is awfully early to wake up while you’re on vacation, but Early Entry days are the best value in town. In addition, we also have reservations for 9:15 this morning at Cindy’s. This will certainly be the highlight of Lexi’s trip, since she wanted to go last...

    2000 SNOW GLOBE, WHERE DO I GET ONE!

    Don't know if this is what you want (it says mini globe) but here's a link to one up for sale on eBay right now... http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1135754492 Duane -- <font size="-1" color="red">Contemporary - March 1977</font> <font size="-1" color="blue">Port Orleans...

    Where to put backpack while on a ride?

    If it will make you feel more secure, put your leg through one of the straps when you put it on the floor. I did this and didn't have trouble on anything -- even the Rockin' Roller Coaster. Duane -- Contemporary - March 1977 Port Orleans - April 2000 (long wait, huh?) Animal Kingdom Lodge -...

    Tiffany late-night grocery stop?

    We don't arrive in Orlando until just after midnight on a Friday night. 1) Is the grocery store stop part of the Tiffany package, or is it up to the driver? I'm a little concerned that a driver working that late is ready to go home and not really wanting to make a 15 minute detour. 2) I...
