    Being Financially Responsible

    My family and I have been blessed enough to have many happy Disney memories. We spent 3 weeks in FW the June after Katrina, and this next trip will be my 35th trip. :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 We lost one of our babies (DD, Madison-16) last year, and haven't had a Disney trip since 2006 after years...

    Very, very disappointed with Disney food

    Moonvine, Tomorrow we leave for my 33rd trip to WDW. I've never cared for the food at CSR, but please don't judge WDW food by those restaraunts. It would be like coming to New Orleans and judging the food by dining at an Applebee's and a Shoney! There is plenty of terrific food in Disney and...

    Which Park for Day After Thanksgiving

    The resort hopping is a great idea. We actually will get to WDW on Tday, but will really avoid the parks until Monday. Sunday, I'll head to the ESPN club to OD on NFL, but for the most part, we hit the parks really late, really early, or not at all, then we stay the entire following week and...

    Do you like the sometimes just ride the Monorail?

    We too, love the Monorail and will just ride it around a while, but I have to say that I find them to be rather stinky these days. Now, I have a nose that's more of a curse than a blessing, and can smell better than the average K-9.

    DisneyQuest???

    Can't see it. the place is a "money machine!" It's packed in the summer, sucks a crowd out of the parks, which from a "crowd managment" standpoint is the idea, and teens love it, perpetuating the Disney brand with the 13-17 yo crowd. Don't see it closing.

    Best time of day to go to water parks

    Early, early, early! Was there 3 weeks in June, going for 5 days in August, and then again for 10 days in December.... Leave by 10am and then hit the room, rest, and then to whatever park DOES NOT have early Magic Hours!

    1st time in cabins - do you ever request a particular loop?

    IT really depends on what you want... 2200 is nice if you have familly in an RV and want to be close but still want a loop with some privacy... The loop right by the quiet pool is our fav (can't remember the loop # just offhand... 2800, maybe?) and yes... we do request loops and they've always...

    Is June is WDW a nightmare?

    I would certainlly go! All the above advise is good and I'd add one more thing... plan to tour the parks early in the day and late in the afternoon/evening. We usually get to the parks at opening and about 10:30-11am we head back to the room for lunch, rest and a nap. Then, about 4 or 6pm we...

    Bring your fishing gear?

    Definitely bring the gear. I've caught the biggest bass I've ever caught at Disney... Right outside of our room at the Poly I've caught Bass and Bream, caught those with a azalea leaf run through a hook!! I did the fishing trip with the guide once and that's a hoot. The 3 of us landed 8 or...

    Is anyone elses RV/TT Disney themed?

    We've just started theming ours. For our trip in 2 weeks, DW and I have a "budget" just for theming the RV. In Marketplace, there is a really neat store across from the Pantry that has really cool disney themed stuff; plates, cups, utensils, towels, sheets... all kinds of neat upscale things...
