    WWYD... a couple days in Orlando (just hubs and I). Best budget things to do?

    We once spent a week camping at Ft. Wilderness and never went in a Disney park. Youngest was doing Sea World day camp. We'd pick her up every afternoon and do all the "free' Disney stuff. Great stuff at the campground, Disney Springs, riding the boats, and the monorail, (and now the Skyliner)...

    Starbucks on main street.......:/

    We were there last week. On our way from EPCOT to Poly for dinner at Ohana we killed an hour on main street. Wanted to get a cinnamon roll but didn't want to have to walk all the way to the back of the park. That sucked. Otherwise it didn't impact my vacation at all. Maybe all the people who are...

    Are They Ever Going To Fix The EE Yeti?

    Does the Yeti move? I've ridden EE at least a dozen times, and I've never even seen it. I hear it, I hear people scream, but I usually get something in my eye, or think I see something in the floor right before we get to where he's supposed to be. ;) I'll try and check it next week when I'm...

    In Orlando; how to get the DIS thrill when not in the park?

    A couple of years ago my wife and I had an evening to do just this. We were at a conference without tickets and a 8 day/7 night family trip just 2 weeks away. It was my birthday so we started with dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse. Easily one of the best meals we've ever had on property, if not...

    Coronado. Definitely for an adults only trip. But you should visit POR for the Piano Bob show.

    week of T'giving deals???

    Last year when the discount first came out for Thanksgivng it included the weekend before. But as time passed, they moved the blackout dates further up. You just have to be patient and wait on it. It was on the DIS-Discount forum where I first read about the codes for our trip. Good Luck!!

    week of T'giving deals???

    You won't be able to get it for Black Friday or the weekend, but perhaps the rest of the week will be open for the FD discount.

    week of T'giving deals???

    We went in 2009, and 2011 for Thanksgiving week and had Free Dining both times. The discounts usually come out in August. The Saturday prior is usually the end of the window, but if you check in on that day, it is good for your entire trip. Seems like they were offering a good room discount for...

    Tip the Mousekeepers?

    Seems to me that it's a personal decision. If you want to tip then do so. If you don't think they are worth a few dollars, then don't. I like sharing the "Magic".

    Port Orleans Riverside FAQ thread - Royally Refurbished for 2011

    Can anyone provide an update on the pool between bld 90 and 95 in the Magnolia Bend section? We are arriving on the 19th and were hoping to be in that area but didn't want to have the construction site and lack of quiet pool. I was by there last week and it didn't look to have much more to be...

    Nov. 2011

    Regarding the GX8 code, I called more than once and talked to different CMs. Was told it was bounceback only. Then the last CM I talked to offered it to me, but it was only a room discount, and only good for the first night of my stay. I was thinking it was for free dining. Anyway, still hoping...
