    DL instead of WDW

    In my opinion, the two experiences are very different. WDW is on a much larger scale than DLR. At DLR you have many e-ticket attractions in a relatively compact space, whereas for WDW you may have to hit multiple parks for those e-ticket attractions. Also, DLR is walkable from many area...

    AKL LITE unofficial FAQ thread#10 - I believe that's known as a 'Jambo Dozen'

    Yes! We had one - room 4321 on the Kudu Trail in August. I believe its pretty much at the end of all the club level rooms on that trail - pretty long walk to the club lounge (and pretty much to everything else too). Ours was a connecting room - and it connected to a 2 queen bed room...

    Friends and Family Discount

    My MIL CM is kind enough to accompany us on our upcoming trip Aug. 2 to 11. She was able to get 60% FF rate, but no discount on the regular dining plan because we are staying at AKL Club Level or we could get the discounted dining plan if we gave up our club level room. In years past we were...

    AKL LITE unofficial FAQ thread#10 - I believe that's known as a 'Jambo Dozen'

    Hi there! We are thinking of staying at AKL CL in Aug. We have only ever stayed at the YC and BC. I was thinking of requesting bunk beds instead of 2 Qs. If anyone has stayed at both AKL and BC/YC, how does the room size compare? Will the room have more space to move around in with the...

    Upgrading to Premier AP

    We are DLR Premium AP holders and are going to WDW for a 9 night trip in Aug. I was wondering if it's worthwhile to upgrade to the premier pass for the trip. We plan on visiting all 4 parks and going to visit at least 1 water park. We have 3 adults and 1 child on this trip. We will likely...

    2011 Yacht & Beach Club FAQ, Part III- DO NOT POST HERE- Summer/Fall

    Teena, you may want to bring some warm clothes to LA. Believe it or not - its forecast to be in the very low 60's. (I know that's not really cold - but it is for So. Cal.!!) Our weather in So. Cal. has been a rollercoaster ride - yesterday it was 84 and windy, today a perfect 74, tonight...

    Help me not to waste $ on a girls swimsuit

    I recently picked up some Speedo suits at Kohls. They were at 60% off reg price. With coupon I think I got 4 suits for about $8 a piece. I noticed that these Speedos run small - so my size 5 DD is wearing a size 7. Likewise, my DD10 who normally wears 10/12 is in a 14. I think Kohls'...

    We took a cab from the Yacht Club in July to T-Rex at DownTown Disney. I think it cost around $17.00 with tip. It took around 10 minutes or so, but don't quote me on the time. HTH Jennifer

    This summer has been interesting. Sunday morning I thought I mistakenly woke up in Florida as it was raining and humid! But I can't complain the humidity was nothing like Florida's! Newport is great. My office is actually in Huntington Beach, but I live in South Orange County, very east...

    2011 Yacht & Beach Club FAQ, Part III- DO NOT POST HERE- Summer/Fall

    Hi All! Got back late Thursday night from 9 nights at the YC CL. It was great as usual. We had a standard CL room # 5192 which overlooked the hotel's main entrance (and yes, some parking lots, too). But the view was fine in my opinion as there are lots of trees. The room has 2 queens...

    What to do in Southern California with a couple of near five year olds

    As for shopping, South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa is a must. They have a carousel and a Rain Forest Cafe restaurant inside.
