The chances of getting a table with next to a window with a view of the park are slim 30 mins before the fireworks. But it will still be great. I actually prefer to view them outside on the observation deck... more romantic than through a window.

Try to find some trip reports here on the Dis for that period. If you are lucky, they may even embed some photos so you can see the crowds in the background.

Two totally different experiences. Really depends upon your situation and patience. CaliGrille is not great for small children. It is a long meal with nothing to do but visit the observation deck overlooking the MK.

Congrats to your son! I don't know that the HS means as much as an activity as it does an academic achievement. My DD made it this year. I don't even think they have meetings.

Most of the touring pros advise to go to a park each morning and use the afternoon as your down time. It sets a good pace and does not overwhelm the small ones. This also helps you plan your dining if you have TS meals...about half of the TS restaurants are outside of the parks, so you have...

Not a total expert on this, but I believe the only time the MK would close at 7pm is for a party. If there is a party, the fireworks are during the party, not before.

Tampa is 2 hours away. If the tix are much less expensive, you might pay for the rental car. I always rent a car at Disney. Much more convenient than relying on the buses.

I live in DC. Memorial Day WE is a tough one. You will have to contend with lots of school aged kids on their senior year trips. Buses everywhere - sort of like Disney! Also, just like Disney, if you get an early start, you can usually stay ahead of the crowds. The zoo and museums are great...

My apologies. You taught me something...I never knew this existed - it is in the Villas http://www.wildernesslodgesite.com/content/sturdy-branches-health-club

I would call the credit card you short-paid and pay the difference by phone. You will need a copy of a check. There may be a fee, but it is better than them jacking your interest rate and assessing a short fall penalty. If you are beyond the payment date, after you have paid by phone, call them...

No such place - that's why you can't find any info on it.

The premise of the study is flawed. You need to take a sample at birth, have a control group and a study group. That is not happening, so we go on guessing. It can easily be understood that defiant children are prone to the activities that precipitate spanking. I was spanked as a child and...

You should have 2-3 parties during your stay. Can't tell you when they are. Not sure there is a pattern.

We did DxDP this past Dec. We did snacks for breakfast and a TS lunch and signature dinner. This worked out really well! I would suggest skipping the TS breakfasts so you can be at the park 10 mins before rope drop. Have an early TS lunch when you are nice and tired and the break is welcome...

As far as I know, that would not be a problem. No drinks through security, but solid foods should fly. (pardon the pun)

We were there mid Dec this past year and it was warm enough to swim every day but 1. I think the type of swimming makes a difference too. If you are going to the hotel pool, it can be cooler and still be enjoyable. If you are going to the water parks and will be standing around wet for extended...

Try priceline.com first and bid for a rate lower than the promo. We did this in Dec last year and got a mid-size car for $15 per day.

Definitely do it on line at 6am. It is actually very convenient. Make sure you have a printer or copy and past all your confirmation info into another document just in case there is a glitch - just like you would do on the phone. It will take you much less time and put you at the front of...

Don't know about the technical process, but we did this for our trip last Dec. We already had the DDP and another discount on our ressie, when free dining came out and it reduced our cost, she added it NP.

Well, you probably have forgotten something...everyone forgets something. As long as you have transportation, shelter and meals covered, along with your touring planned, relax. You are not going to the desert. Just roll with it and have fun.
