    Anyone Take Their Laptop?

    I brought mine in September. I probably didn't 100% need it, but I'm pretty loathe to be without it. We stayed at All Star Music. Now from what I can see in this thread, the safes at Pop Century must be larger. The safe at ASMu might hold a little netbook or something, but it couldn't hold...

    Keys Tour start question

    Inside that building to the left of City Hall, that's where you go. Same place as package pickup if I remember right. (I have some confusion about this, but I swear it said that on the building. Is that building really "underneath the train station" though? Hm.) 8:30 tour on a non-EMH day...

    photopass bonus???

    Yes, we specifically got a new card during MNSSHP and definitely added that card before ordering CD. Ah well. It's not a big thing but you always hate to miss things. ;)

    photopass bonus???

    I must not have done something right? No bonus pics on my CD, and we were there during MNSSHP in Sept and had at least one PhotoPass shoot during the night of the party. :confused3

    Anyone else think RNR hurts?

    Your head will still move around and more unfortunately bang into that shoulder restraint ;) even on a very smooth coaster. And still, even though it's smooth, you can probalby, esp if you ride pretty close succession, notice a difference in front of train vs back of train. The back would bump...

    Tusker House Breakfast

    You probably can go in early on a 9:10, because they probably start at 8:00 for breakfast. We had 8:15 and 8:05 reservations on the trip. One was at Epcot opening at 9, but they seemed not to let anyone in before 8. The other was at AK with 8:00 early open, but they didn't let anyone past the...

    Tusker House Breakfast

    The times are so approximate anyway it seems. Do the 9:10 and be there for the rope drop show. When you walk back to Tusker House, one or two people in your party take all park tix and go and get FPs for Kilamanjaro Safaris while others are waiting to check in/get pic with Donald. The FP...

    Anyone else think RNR hurts?

    I'd say any coaster is naturally rougher in the back. Some people enjoy this part. ;) (WDW Space Mountain is kind of an exception, really doesn't matter as much because the trains are so short, only two cars par train.) For RnR, or any coaster with a headrest and over the shoulder...

    How to verify age for tour? Re: dd turns 16 2 weeks before we leave!

    Just ask them on the phone about proof of age, explain the situation. I'm guessing it'll be fine, but you might want a simple copy of birth certificate in case. We know that sometimes what the phone CMs say is not what will pan out in reality. ;) As far as advance booking, you just have to...

    Booked for Sept. 2011...but...not interested in Halloween themed vaca

    As others have said, decorations are moderate, and I would add that the halloween music and character themes are otherwise saved specifically for the extra ticket halloween party nights. You will see some halloween themed merch in all the shops, but it's far from the only merch. So, it won't...

    Why is Soarin' so popular?

    Soarin' is borin' :eek: Okay, that's way too harsh, it's really not that, but you can't help the rhyme. ;) I rode it a couple times on a really empty day with some others who were really into it. It did feel overhyped to me. One thing that gets me is it's not that complicated a simulator, so...

    Photopass Pre-Order with Family

    Pics expire 30 days from first view. (Before that, you have 30 days to claim the pics by entering the card number, or they expire without you even viewing them.) In your case, if you start viewing your own pics while you're at WDW, the 30-day clock for the whole thing will start then. If...

    Glasses

    Wore mine on everything, including RnR. And I'm sure I've worn them on other intense coasters too. I had on a fairly new pair this last trip (bought maybe a month or two before trip), but I've been wearing glasses all day for years and was confident in their fit. A well-fitting and properly...

    Am I crazy or was Hallowishes "moved"?

    We stood near the carousel for Hallowishes a few weeks ago (seems like ages ago, but it was 9/23). Now this was my first time seeing it, but I was suitably impressed by the show and some of the fireworks effects. Did end up looking this way and that a bit to see everything, because they kept...

    Toy Story Mania - what's the big deal?

    One thing, for those who have never seen the regular queue, you should go through it at least once. But you have to get there pretty early to do that without standing in line forever. You miss some fun things on some rides if you only ever enter through the FastPass line. I got to ride just...

    Harmony Barber Shop

    Why not? You have extra time, you make use of it. We still were at the Harmony door 10-15 ahead of appt. We actually didn't walk down for the pictures, we walked for the kid to get a closer view. Pic was just a consequence of being down there.

    Harmony Barber Shop

    Here's a tip: go on a non-EMH morning and make a 9am appointment. They will let you into the park early! I think we walked in as early as 8:30, maybe earlier. We took advantage of empty main street and hub to get some PhotoPass pics with the castle, watched them lead the horse out to the...

    Keys to the Kingdom Tour

    If you go to MK on morning EMH, what you can do is around 8:30 or so, grab something to eat in the Main St Bakery and take it to a table you can find down at the end of Center St (the side street). You might get about 10 min of free tour talking there. Our group was standing there for about...

    Thrills for "ride chickens"?

    :thumbsup2 Absolutely. Although I gotta share the funny story about pressure from kids. Kid with us really loved Mad Tea Party, but after riding with us was pressuring her no-spin-ride parents to go on it. She's not even 3 years old. :laughing: She didn't pressure them too hard, hehe...

    Get Me Excited About Allstar Music

    Just stayed in Sept. I can't compare to other Disney resorts but am typically picky about hotel rooms. I've stayed in my share of cheap, crappy rooms and have sworn to avoid if at all possible. And my verdict here is, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at ASMu again. Rooms are in good shape...
