Hey everyone. My husband, my three DDs (7,5,4) and my MIL and BIL are going for seven days the last in March. We tentatively have booked the Spirit of ALoha show, but I made just in case ressies for O'hana and Whispering Canyon - we have tried WC, and we LOVE it. Haven't tried O'hana for...

And other than the fact they didn't have the bus services like Disney, we preferred it. The resort is very large and there is a lot to do there. It is in a convenient location and most of the units are either new or newly remodeled. We stayed in the west village golf villas and thought them...

Going in May and wanting to know what is the best water park between the two at Disney for young children. Between TL and BB, which has the "best" water slides for kids in this age range? My kids love a good thrill and will try anything as long as they are in height range. Oldest is 45...

We're staying offsite at Wyndham Bonnet Creek this spring, and I have a few plans to make our trip just as magical as on-site. I ran the numbers, and even two values at a discount doesn't come close to the deal we are getting with or without the dining plan. However, I am trying to pump myself...

Ok, so there is a separate entrance, but do we still need to pay parking if staying offsite? Our hotel does provide shuttle (Wyndham Bonnet Creek), but it might be easier to drive.

So this spring, we are probably going to skip the AK park, but I was wondering if it was possible to still eat at the Rainforest Cafe there without park admission. We love their breakfast there, and it doesn't appear the DD location offers breakfast.

How did the overall experience measure up when you tried out an off site resort? We are staying at Wyndham Bonnet Creek in May, and while the resort looks beautiful, I keep lamenting not having the entire "magical experience." Overall, was it worth the savings? Was it worth the extra hassle...

If you have the money, and I mean the cash money, with good savings and good investments, a home paid for in full, then by all means, do it. But in the end, it's just stuff. It doesn't mean you are more loved. It doesn't mean you are more important. It's just stuff.

This thread is humorous, I must say. I don't even understand why spending more makes for a better Christmas. I don't see how those who spend less are depriving their children. My children are 6, 4, and 3, and we buy them two to three items, a few stocking stuffers, and spend less than $85 on...

I have a 6, 4, and 3 y/o princess, and let me say there is no shortage of princess pleasures in the world. It might be too late to try to secure a lunch at the castle, but EPCOT's Akerhaus usually has lunch and dinner availability. If you are on the dining plan, Akerhaus is a good way to...

Wow. The nerve of some people. She didn't even think to acknowledge the sacrifices you make serving our country. You think she would have remarked on that and been awed by the fact that you could stay there as a reward for your service. This past spring we stayed for the first time and got...

We were planning on doing just that - MK for the last day. We did AK last year, and while it was fun, it's personally my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, I like/love all things Disney, but it's just not a park preference. The shows are cool (i.e. Nemo and Lion King), but as far as animals...

We have 6, 4, and 3 year old daughters that we will be bringing down to Disney for a second time next May. We plan to do three days of park, and I was wondering if it would be better to plan one day each at HS, MK, and EPCOT, or one at HS and two at MK. We've been before and did six days of...

We went to the parks that exact time last year. When we arrived it was quite chilly (50s at night, 60s during the day), and while the pools and water parks are heated, it was quite frigid to get out and dry off. Later in the week, it was better (solid 70s during the day and much less wind)...

Went ahead and reserved lunch at CRT. The one time we were at Akerhaus, we didn't see Snow White. I am hoping we will see her at CRT. If not, I guess we'll tell my DD she was sick, had to stay home, and then go wait in line to see her at her "home" in Toon Town.

A CM told me this today. She quoted me $35 per adult and $15 per child. This is a bit much since our three little girls (6, 4, and 3) can split a pizza and be completely full between them. I thought it was a la carte, but maybe they changed it. Don't think it's worth the extra bucks to still...

Booked my ADRs today, and still couldn't decide between which of the two is a better bet. Reserved both, but will cancel one. Went to the Chef Mickey dinner in March, and thought the food was okay, but the experience was fun. Which of these two is better for breakfast and which has better...

Getting ready to make ADRs tomorrow for May 8 - 15 trip. DD (6) wants to eat lunch or dinner with Snow White. She keeps going on and on about how she absolutely must see her. At which restaurant between CRT and Akerhaus will we have a better shot of seeing her? I wished she wanted to see...

I've noticed that for some of the resorts, the points required for two studios is less than a two bedroom. Is it possible when booking with DVC to book more than one unit i.e. two studios? Are any of the studios adjoining or at least side by side if we took my parents.

So would 150 - 160 at AKV, alternating 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom every year for a Sunday - Thursday stay be enough over the course of ownership. Also, how long can you bank points and can you keep banking and banking? For instance, let's say I need to use only 100 for a 2009 trip, but I have...
