    Day 2 – Saturday, December 5 We got up early and ate breakfast at Contempo Café using four CS meals from our plan. I have to say I didn’t care for the breakfast food here at all. Basically McDonald’s quality scrambled eggs, French toast and waffles. We did like that we were able to take...

    The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort FAQ with PICTURES! (APR 2009)

    We'll be at CR next month and staying in Garden Wing for the first time. My DH would like to stay on the third floor so noone is above us - eventhough we won't have balcony or patio. So how do I request that room? Do I call Disney's main reservations number? What specifically should I...

    Strangely Cold Feet? (Speaking Metaphorically)

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who freaks out. We too are doing our first trip with our boys - twins 7 yr old - December at CR. Once I got the date and restort booked, I was fine, but now I'm totally freaked about ADRs and which park which day. My DH laughs at me and says I need to just...

    Does anyone know the open times in the morning for the counter service, Wave and Chef Mickey's for breakfast? My kids wake up really early and I'm wondering when they open for breakfast. I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Thanks! Kate

    Keep trying for cancellations! It pays off!

    I have been really frustrated trying to get the reservations I wanted via the online tool. I finally called the number for WDW dining yesterday and was able to get two reservations at Saana, which I had been trying for every day. Still couldn't get into The Wave, but when the CM put in The...

    Is anyone else wondering about the crowds the first part of Dec?

    Boy it is hard isn't it? So frustrating not being able to get restaurant reservations. At this point, I'm not sure what we are going to do. I guess we are going to have to try to show up at restaurants and beg for a table. We are staying at CR 12/4-8 and I can't get one reservation at ANY...

    One month to go!!!!

    We are taking our 7 year old boys for the first time in December too. We are so excited! It is a surprise. We haven't told them at all. Have hardly told anyone, because we don't want them to spoil it and spill the beans. We fly out on a Friday morning, so our plan is when the boys get...

    Just back from an 11 day trip - any questions?

    Were you on the dining plan? Where did you eat? Did you have ADRs? We are headed to DW in December for our first trip with our 7 year old twin boys. We are disappointed in not being able to get ADRs at the restaurants we want to eat at. Hoping maybe we'll get lucky with walk-ups...
