    10 Day Trip Countdown!!!!

    Hi All! Haven't posted in a very long time. We are leaving in 10 days for our week long stay at CSR. We were lucky enough to visit each year from 2008 - 2011 and due to a number of reasons (health issues with family and job losses) we were unable to visit our favorite place for the last...

    Coping with Older Parents

    Not a big poster here but a huge fan of the boards. I really need some help in coping with my elderly grandmother who raised me - to me, she is my mom. After a heart attack and pace maker implant, she seems to not be recovering. It tears me apart to see her struggle everyday. I don't know...

    *September Car Rental Rates* 2011

    Jut switched to Alamo from National and got $131.84 for Sept. 6 -17 for a midsize using $40 off and Contract ID 7014667. Anyone know where this ID came from? Just want to be prepared in case they ask for proof of membership. I've always used National EA so I'm hoping the counter pick-up...

    *September Car Rental Rates* 2011

    National's rates dropped again!!! Always been loyal to them but I'd been checking for months and rates were ridiculously high. So I booked with Dollar for $274.00 (Sept. 6 - 17). So hard to give up the counter bypass with EA. Then I read on here that rates were down. So I checked and booked...

    *September Car Rental Rates* 2011

    Usually go with National Emerald Aisle. But rates this year are outrageous. $600 plus for 12 days. Booked with Dollar for a Full Size at $354 and just checked for any new rates and got it down to $274...so happy.

    Parking at deluxes a pain???

    We always rent a car for the duration of our trips to WDW and have found that parking at the deluxe resorts is not fun, that is if you can find a spot at all. I can't tell you how many times we have circled a parking lot with no luck and ended up parking at the very end way in the back. And...

    Best shoes for the august rain and heat

    Absolutely Croc Capris. In fact, I just ordered a new pair for my upcoming trip in September. Coming from a person who has foot "issues" when travelling, these sandals are the greatest invention ever. I tend to get water bubbles (aka blisters...but that sounds so ugly) on my feet and cracks...

    Anyone prefer moderates to deluxes?

    Hi all. I have a trip booked for Sept at CSR - 12 days with free dining. As the countdown is on, naturally I'm second guessing. Would love to try BC and do a split stay but I'm unsure due to experience last Sept. Did a split with CSR/AKL and actually preferred CSR. AKL was beautiful but...

    Free dining question ...

    I was able to add 4 days to the beginning of my trip with FD with no problem. I originally booked before the Dec. 20th FD deadline and two weeks ago called up and added the extra days. The CM said sometimes the system lets them do it, sometimes it doesn't. As PP said, as long as availability...

    My CSR review

    We just got back also...stayed at CSR from the 7th to the 14th...it was heaven. And then AKL from 14th - 18th (but that's another story). We were in Cabana 8B, 2nd Floor, Corner Room, 8603 so no painting issues on our side of the lake that I saw. The Dig Site was fantastic as usual. What I...

    CSR wins over AKL anyday!

    Thanks for all the comments. I actually did do a lot of research before booking AKL. Looked at hundreds of resort photos but nothing can beat the actual experience. As for the pool...it was cold. The Dig Site Pool at CSR was always refreshing in the afternoon and almost lukewarm at night...

    Info on who fits/who does not - for FJ - post here if you've been

    Just rode FJ on Sept. 15. I'm 5'3", around 240 and fit fine on The Mummy, Hulk, Dudley Do-Right, etc. There was no talk of clicks as I was expecting...just colours. I tried the test seats outside and was a yellow. They have an indicator with 3 colours: green - Standard seat, yellow -...

    CSR wins over AKL anyday!

    Just got back from WDW last night. Split stay at CSR and AKL. CSR was amazing. AKL wasn't. The resort was lovely...theming was great but it just wasn't for us. What we didn't like: roomed had a distinct smell...can't quite put my finger on it but it was not pleasant upon entereing...

    Hi All! We're at CSR right now. Checked in yesterday and was upgraded to a corner lakeview room in Cabana 8B...just 3 doors down from where we were last year. Also was surprised with a complimentary champagne toast for our anniversary! The room was lovely but a little dirty...meaning it just...

    Leaving for WDW/US on Tuesday. Still looking for Universal tickets. Missed out on Maple Leaf. I did come across Orlando Fun Tickets - 2 day 2 park passes + 2 days for free - $134.99 + taxes each. Seems good. Considering this is what you would pay at US website for only 2 days. Is this a...

    Room only payment?

    I booked a room only reservation directly on the phone with Disney. I went online today to make the payment in full but the payment option is not available. I have heard of people calling Disney to pay their room only ressies only to have Disney refund the amount. I know the payment isn't...
