    Mvmcp questions

    I feel ya- DH and I had to wait 4 years to get our honeymoon due to the Army. But on the up side you do get a military discount on the MVMCP and MNNSHP. Just ask at the ticket counter outside outside of the MK.

    Mvmcp questions

    When you purchase a ticket for mvmcp it is for that specific evening. It does not matter what other tickets you have on top of those. DH and I went in 09 and had a blast. It's easy to avoid the crowds and we rode just about every ride. We arrived at FW thursday, set up our camp, took a nap...

    Buying autograph books at FW

    DH and I brought a collection of disney books with us to be signed- the characters got a kick out of it and we have more than autograph books to remember our trip by. I went through and marked with a post it note where the characters could sign and the characters who weren't in the book got...

    Silly question - shoes?

    I would like to suggest New Balance as a tennis shoe- they have great support. I also love my Merrell shoes! They are great and make wonderful shoes! Yay for running sandles! I would suggest not wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row- and when you get to the hotel to change into...

    Crystal Palace

    I was super impressed with all the salads. The warm foods were good- DH had 3 helpings of the pulled pork! We took our time- we were there for 2 hours so if anything was empty it was quickly filled.

    Where to find buzzlightyear and woody

    Buzz is outside @ MK in Tomorrow Land. He has a super cute stamp. I found Woody and Jesse at the gate to the left of Splash Mountain in the MK. (where the parade enters the park) This was accurate 12/22

    River Country

    May and September- I would label those months as 'spring' and 'fall'? The race starts and finishes on the beach @ Ft. Wilderness. BUT they do NOT allow anyone to have any 'practice swims' prior to race day. I would expect that is because all of the boat traffic and the need to lifeguard the...

    WDW at Christmas

    After just getting back ourselves (17th-23rd) here are our tips: The closer you get to Christmas, the busier the park is. You may want to revisit your dates to be the week or 2 before the 25th. The park did not start getting crowded until the 20th for us...and once it did I was very...

    River Country

    Trust me 500 people running into and out of the lake in any given triathlon will stir up quite a bit of ick. Trust me- you swallow quite a bit of water and that 2.5 mile swim can take quite a bit of time! I wonder if any triathletes get sick? Hmm...:confused3

    Christmas at Fort Wilderness Campground 2009

    We will be at the Fort the 17th-23rd! Can't wait to meet everyone! I just tasked DH with making a rope light mickey head- I think he's happy to have a 'job' related to our trip. We will be in our medieval tent with our lime green mickey out front.

    Thanks ya'll for all the warm fuzzies :) I will admit I am coming close to throwing in the towel- on the vacation and on DH but that's another story! So just after I changed our reservations I realized that we had tickets to MVMCP on the 17th! So, I changed our reservation again because...

    We need a way (while at the Fort), to identify DIS Camping Forum members!

    I took mine to Office Max and they too turned out darker-than-lime green.

    Fw & mvmcp

    I purchased ours over the internet not knowing there was a military discount! I just got off the phone because we had to change our dates (from the 13th to the 17th). The Castmember set up a guest service file for us- we changed the tickets to the 17th, but she put in the file that when we...
