    I got the CRT I wanted after trying for a month!!! (NOW...a question..) haha!

    We had an 8:05 ADR for CRT and got to the park at about 7:30. We had to wait in the character breakfast line for about 15 minutes before they started letting everyone through. They never asked for our name or what time our ressie was for - so I would think that we could have had a reservation...

    Character breakfast on departure day?

    On our last day the Magical Express bus wasn't picking us up until 1:30 - a little early for us to try and squeeze in lunch, but plenty of time for a late-ish breakfast. We headed down to Beach Club to the Cape May breakfast and it was nice. I thought scheduling a character meal the night we...

    Face Painting in the Park

    My DD got the "Tinkerbell" face in AK and it was $15. I think the cheapest one I saw there was $15.

    Donald at Tusker House Breakfast

    I didn't realize this was a new format for the Tusker House breakfast. We were there about 3 weeks ago for our first time and I thought it was a little strange that he only posed for pics and didn't come to the tables. It didn't even occur to me at the time, but no he didn't sign autographs...

    What's good at Chef Mickey's dinner?

    I read all the bad reviews about CM's before our trip, but still made the reservation anyway. It ended up being my least favorite meal in terms of the food, but the character interaction was good. My opinion is, you never know unless you try it! I did like the desserts, but honestly I only...

    If you want to see Tink and the other fairies???

    We were there a few weeks ago and got there for 9:45 for Toontown rope drop. We rushed in with the crowd, waited about 15 minutes in the fairy line, came out and got right into the princess line and waited another 10-15 minutes (seemed like a long line, but it moved really quick!) and we were...

    Are touring plans really needed?

    I printed out the touring plans for parents w/small children from touringplans.com. I liked having them b/c it took the guesswork out of it for me. I didn't want to be wasting time standing around trying to decide where to go next. I just kept checking my list and off we went, no questions...

    CRT befor park opening

    I hadn't actually thought of that, but the PP is right - they didn't ask us for our names at MK when we had early ADR's at CRT. There is a special line marked "character breakfast" at the gate that you will need to wait in. Once they let you in you are free to roam about Main Street and of...

    Columbia Harbour House

    We ate there on 3/1 at 6:30pm - I know it was 6:30 b/c when we were done around 7pm, we were then trapped inside the park by Spectromagic (as a WDW first timer, I was taken completely off guard by this!! :) ) Then, both of my overtired 5 year olds started to cry b/c they thought we would never...

    Tell me about early March...

    We were just there 2/28 - 3/5.....first and foremost, I will tell you, it was COLD. Like, 30's in the morning and a couple days it didn't get out of the 50's in the afternoon. But, cold weather aside, I couldn't have asked for a better vacation - the resort was empty, we were almost always the...

    breakfast before the parks open

    We had an early ADR at CRT in the castle (8:05am) and an early ADR at Tusker House (also 8:05am) and these were two of our best days! We ate in the castle and were done at about 8:50, just in time for Rope Drop. It was fantastic b/c we waited right underneath the castle at the entrance to...

    At Ohana Now

    We ate there a couple weeks ago and thought it was pretty good. I'm not a meat eater, but my husband really enjoyed the steak, pork and chicken. We didn't care for the shrimp, but I liked everything else. I will say that the noodles to me looked alot like Ramen noodles, which made me chuckle...

    Anyone else disappointed by VWL?

    When we there, Roaring Forks was EMPTY, so I'm sure it was a totally different experience. I can imagine having long lines in there would not be easy! Our room was also next to the quiet pool. I think we were in 2531.

    Anyone else disappointed by VWL?

    Wow, we were just there a couple weeks ago and didn't have any real problems (aside from that toothbrush we found behind the couch - EWWWWW!) We used the internet with no problems (even had to contact tech support once to ask a question and we were helped immediately) and also had no problems...

    Deluxe with the best Counter Service?

    I'm going to add my vote for Roaring Forks at Wilderness Lodge. It had a pretty good selection of food, anything from burgers/grilled chicken sandwiches & fries to a sandwich bar. They also had small side salads and fruit cups, and the snacks & desserts were great too!! It is small, but we...

    Do you "talk" to the characters?

    We had a really great experience with the princesses in the judges tent. My 5 year old DS (who talks to EVERYONE, introduced to himself to pretty much anyone we saw on the monorail or in the hotel or on the bus, the bus drivers...etc... :) ) brought with him his Disney Transport bus into the...

    To Tip or Not To Tip (long)

    Funny story about tipping (I know I know, alot of people hate this thread, but I just thought I'd share...) When we were at Tusker House for the buffet breakfast a couple weeks ago, we asked for the bill and my DH gave the waitress his KTTW card (we were on the DDP). She asked if he wanted to...

    Back yesterday...feeling blue

    Yup - we just got back about a week and a half ago and I can't seem to get out of this funk. I don't know when we'll go back either. :( I spent so much time planning this trip, now I don't know what to do with myself!!! It's definitely depressing! Even worse is that I've been trying to talk...

    Favorite quiet pool?

    Just wanted to say we really enjoyed the quiet pool at the WL too - the bigger pool just had so much loud music and crazy games going on, and our 5 year olds don't swim well yet - we were MUCH happier at the small pool and the kids weren't overwhelmed. Having said that, I'm sure when we go back...

    A Magic Kingdom Video

    That was great! We just got back ourselves, and I created a video montage of our trip using One True Media & just ordered a copy of it on DVD - it's nowhere near as elaborate as yours, but I had a great time doing it and it's such a great keepsake to have!
