Thanks everyone for your input! You've definitely given us a lot of food for thought (I shared this thread with my wife yesterday).

I want to take my wife on a cruise to celebrate her birthday. She has been wanting to go to the Caribbean for a long time and she loves Disney, so I thought a Disney cruise would be perfect! However, while doing research I'm having second thoughts and I wanted to ask for your opinions, since...

Oh and last year I LOVED the new "Let the Memories Begin" castle show they started doing before Wishes.

For me: MK: Wishes EC: IllumiNations HS: Fantasmic AK: The Lion King Festival Pretty much if it has fireworks, I'll make sure I'm there. :wizard:

My wife and I have been to Disney World three times in the past three years. This year, we decided it was time to take a break and go elsewhere. We decided not to go back to WDW until at least 2013. Well, in November I switched jobs, and one week ago my manager asked me to go to a conference...

I know that when my wife and I went to the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney last week we were asked "Are you on a Disney Dining Plan?". Our answer was no, but I would assume if they ask, it means they accept the KTTW card. Otherwise, what's the point of asking?

Splash Mountain is my favorite ride, and my personal record is riding it 7 times in one day! Anyway, that said, last Wednesday the ride had some technical difficulties while I was on it. They had to stop it and evacuate us, so I got to see some of the backstage. I have to say, after riding...

Oh and here's another trivial change...the plastic bags you get when you buy something changed. :upsidedow They used to be baby-blueish with the image of Cinderella castle in the background and Mickey holding some balloons in the foregorund, and they had the words "Walt Disney World" in them...

Also new is the "Let the Memories Begin" Castle show before Wishes, which I thought was awesome. :thumbsup2

I remember back when the water cannon was on, I practically never got wet, only a couple of "unlucky" times when we the cannon did hit us. On this past visit, the cannon was off of course, but my wife and I got soaked at the end of the big drop every single time! I don't remember ever getting...

Don't worry! The shops on Main Street will stay open at least 30 minutes after the park closes, and usually up to 60-90 minutes on busy days. And in Summer, the park actually closes an hour after Wishes starts! As far as the buses, I've mostly stayed in Downtown Disney area hotels, and their...

In previous trips, my wife and I used to just hang out in Main Street after Wishes until the park looked pretty empty, and only then head to the buses. It was a good way to relax and find souvenirs, and honestly one of my favorite parts our day in the MK. This time, we were there with my...

Sports -> Music -> Movies However, during busy periods they may each get their own bus.

Coffee Hot chocolate Regular offerings of a standard Coca Cola soda fountain machine. I found Diet Coke from the machine to taste bad in the All Star resorts. Too much syrup or something. I liked Coke Zero from the machine a lot better, so that's what I usually had. I'm not sure if anyone...

I agree with those that have found Soarin to be a pretty gentle ride. I was personally a little bit disappointed with Soaring the first time I rode it, but I did have huge expecations from reading reviews online. The second time I rode it, one year later, I had very little expectations since...

I actually love the hat in its current location too! It's also my favorite picture spot in WDW. So I guess for now, the minority is the majority. :thumbsup2

Hang around the MK at night, just enjoying Main Street USA, looking at souvenirs, the castle, etc. To me this, and Wishes, are the highlight of every trip to Disney.

Probably save it so I can come back sooner. :) Otherwise, go for a better Disney hotel, since I've only ever stayed at the All Star Movies resort.

You could park at DTD and walk to the Wyndham Hotel or some other DTD area resort. It's a five minute walk and they have buses to the parks every half hour. When you get on the bus, they don't check if you're a guest at the hotel. Not saying it's the best way to get the parks, but if you are...

We always try to get a magnet for the fridge, if possible one that has the year in it. We do this for every place we go. :thumbsup2 Also, I always get a pin I like and something Steamboat Willie related.
