    Best Place to park for Tri-Circle D Ranch

    We are not staying at the campground, but want to drive over to visit the petting zoo, etc. Where is the best place to park? Thanks!

    Tips for Infants?

    Hello! We are a very lucky family who just found out that we will be taking the 3-night cruise with our 11-week old daughter (she'll be exactly 11 weeks the day we leave) next week. Her pediatrician has given the green light for her to travel (her exact words were "What a lucky little girl! Go...

    Parking ?

    My parents are DVC members and stayed at the VWL last December. Since I am relatively close to Orlando (closer than most, but actually it's still about 2.5 hours away), I came up to spend a few days with them in their villa. Upon their arrival, they told the front desk that they would need 2...

    Bluezoo at the Dolphin???

    Run (don't walk!) to bluezoo. This is the site of the best meals we have had while at DisneyWorld (and trust me, we like to eat, especially good food!). We've always had great service and their staff is well-trained about the menu and the winelist. The miso glazed seabass is my favorite, but...

    How do you like your steak

    My husband and I are both rare people (me more so than him), but we always find our meat a little OVERcooked in WDW. I'm not sure the servers and the chefs actually believe us, since most people are afraid of rare meat (we are pretty adventerous eaters...steak tartare and tuna tartare are big...

    Tell me about Kona.

    We love eating at the Kona Cafe for lunch and dinner. We ate there a few weeks ago when my husband and one of his colleagues were at the Comtemporary for a day of meetings and we met up at the Polynesian for dinner. We all had some form of red meat, if I recall correctly and we were all members...

    No Fries Please!

    I usually request grapes or carrots too and I've never had a problem ordering this way. During our more recent trips, I have done this at Tusker House, Pecos Bill, and Cosmic Ray's and the staff have been more than accomodating, but occasionally they do grab the wrong order, so just be on the...

    Kona Cafe: Poly Plate Lunch

    I've only had the mahi mahi and it was wonderful. Portion size is perfect for lunch (you don't feel too full). We love the Kona Cafe for lunch...nice and relaxing without all of the frenzy of the parks, good mai tai's too. Have fun!

    convince me i"ll love CSR

    Coronado Springs is the closest thing to a deluxe of all the moderates. We have stayed at several of the deluxe resorts (sometimes concierge) and we've found that we really enjoy the Coronado Springs just as much. It's relatively quiet, great pool (and pool bar!), the cast members are the...

    Best overall Moderate Disney Resort

    We love the Cornado Springs! The pool area is huge with a great slide, children's play areas, etc. and the transportation is the best of any of the moderates, in our experience. You do not share a bus with any other resort and there are 4 stops within your resort. Food service leaves a bit to be...

    Lilo and stitch breakfast

    We love the Stitch breakfast! There is plenty of food (just ask if you need more of anything...my husband is particularly fond of the waffles) and you can take as much or as little time as you need to eat. Checkin can be a bit problematic if it is crowded, but we've never had to wait too long...

    Celebrity sightings at WDW Resorts...

    My husband and I saw Tom Lehman and his family at the California Grill in October 2003 during the PGA event. He was very friendly and very gracious to the staff and dinner patrons who were a little star-struck.

    Hairdryer at AKL

    How good are the hairdryers at Animal Kingdom Lodge? I have a decent one that I use everyday at home and was wondering if I need to bring it with me or are the in-room ones good. Any advice is appreciated...Have a great day!

    How do I purchase an AP

    We just purchased one through the disneyworld.com website last night and it was so easy. Just go to the tickets section and go through the options for the type of annual pass(es) you need. They charge it right away and the voucher will arrive in about 2 weeks (fine since we don't leave until...

    Sundays in MK

    What you've heard is correct...Sunday mornings at MK are wonderful. I almost hate to publicize how fabulous it is, but it really is a great time to go. We typically do the first possible seating at Crystal Palace and are finished just in time for the rope drop (It's been a few years, so I'm not...

    Citricos or Narcoossee?

    Citrico's!!! We've been to both places and Citrico's was definitely the better choice for us. The menu is stronger and more adventerous and the wine list is much much better. We usually go a little early and have a drink at Mizner's before we check in for our PS and we always make sure we save...

    Plaza Restaurant ???

    I can't tell you anything about dining at the Plaza before MVMCP, but I can tell you that it's one of our favorite casual places in WDW. The food is dependably good and the portions are plentiful. Be sure you save at least a little room for dessert...nothing beats a really good hot fudge sundae...

    The Plaza

    The Plaza is one of our favorites and we always make sure we have at least one meal there during every trip. The food is always dependably good (my husband just loves their cheesesteaks and their club sandwich is outstanding!) and the service has never disappointed us. Be sure to save a...

    Where to Eat Easter Dinner?

    Hi Jewelray! While I've never been to WDW on Easter, what about dinner at Chef Mickey's? I believe they have a wide variety of meats and different kinds of potatoes. Because that week is so crowded, you are probably less likely to feel rushed in one of the resort restaurants as opposed to...

    Razors?

    Moosebug, You can take your razor in your carryon bag. I've flown a couple of times since September and I've never had a problem. I have had my bag searched each time I have flown, but the razor was never what triggered the search. I have, however, had my tweezers and my nail clippers...
