There is a mnemonic that goes "If red touches yellow, it can kill a fellow; if red touches black, it's OK for Jack." I believe this holds true for all red/black, and red/black/yellow snakes. Of course, you'd have to get close enough to see if red was touching yellow or black... Andy

"...short Lord Farquaad, who happens to look a whole lot like the tall, real-life Disney chief Michael Eisner" Actually, I thought he looked a lot like John Lithgow (the voice of the character).

I agree with you, Lisa (of course, that's my DW's name, so maybe it's just out of habit). When we bought our Nissan Quest, it came with a TV/VCR unit. Two years later, I still haven't installed it, because I don't want the TV to invade one of our last refuges. It's still in the box -- anyone...

Coachv, you were definitely treated unfairly, and I'm sorry for you and your husband. Hopefully you'll be able to salvage some of the memories. We're going in July, and bringing our 18-year old babysitter along. We're paying for nearly everything, so I expect that she'll be happy as can be...

I'm sure it would just be considered a complimentary upgrade. - Andy

While it will get them more money, I think it's more an attempt at controlling the building requests. If they make the most-requested buildings more expensive, a lot of people will think twice about making the request. As it is now, if 60% of the guests request 20% of the rooms, a lot of...

Um... will Steven Tyler and the boys speak french?

AK may not be meeting Disney's expectations, but it hardly looks like a failure, from the numbers. I never would have guessed that it surpasses Universal Studios and IOA in attendance.

Great advice, Kermit -- I've been doing it for myself, but I never thought of doing it for the kids. Heh heh -- "Welcome to boot camp girls, we'll start with a 10 mile walk in the rain!"

$13?? Is that correct? Last I knew, they were $6. Andy CSR, July 2001 (36 days!)

I loved it, my wife loved it, and my daughters (ages 9 and 3) loved it. All I had to say.

APM, haven't purchased yet

You're absolutely right, OWTS. There is a saying that goes: "There's no such thing as bad PR." I used to write and edit for a couple different computer magazines, and when we had a round-up review of products, every product would see a surge in sales related to the review -- even those we...

Quite a story! I'm glad everything turned out OK. Wonderful idea with the family picture and info -- I'll use it for my 4 yr old DD. Thanks! Andy CSR, July 2001 (57 days!)

I meant to add -- the busses can be tough with one of the bigger, bulkier strollers, so the smaller and lighter the better. But, put your baby's comfort and safety first, of course. - Andy

You should definitely bring your own stroller. Disney's strollers are great for bigger kids, but won't do at all for infants. The easiest to deal with are the light-weight, folding "umbrella" strollers -- At 5 or so months, your baby may or may not be ready for one of them (they don't...

We just received the DVC video, and it mentions using all or part of your first year points to receive a credit (presumably towards your downpayment?). Can anyone explain how this works? If we bought 350 points, and used them all for the credit the first year, how much cash would that equal...

How successful is Discovery Cove? I just made reservations for July but, according to their web booking system, we could go almost any day between now and August. They can't even sell 1,000 admissions per day? Is that success?

Your insights have helped considerably. We're going to WDW in July, and we'll certainly take a closer look then. - Andy

We're looking at buying into the DVC, but we're not sure it would be worth it for us, given my wife's occupation. She is a school teacher, and this we have Christmas, February, and April vacations available, along with all of July and August -- that is, the most point-costly times of the year...
