    Our trip from 18 months ago...updated 3/5 with day 8 & 9, finally home

    August 27, 2010 The kids ended up waking up around 7:30 today. Lucky me. We let them watch a little TV while we tried to wake up but there must be something about these hotel rooms because these kids just go crazy. We headed down for breakfast at around 9:00 and after your standard Holiday...

    Our trip from 18 months ago...updated 3/5 with day 8 & 9, finally home

    August 26, 2010 We were all up around 8:00 this morning and we made our way outside for a morning walk on the beach. While the hotel we were in may not have been the greatest, the location surely was. Our room door was about 500 feet from the shore line. The whole family took the short walk...

    August 25, 2010 Everyone woke up around 8:00 today. We went down to have breakfast as a complete family this, our last morning at WDW. We picked up a couple of “Bounty” meals which consisted of french toast, eggs and sausage as well as all the drinks that came as part of the dining package...

    August 24, 2010 We wanted to leave for MK at 7:45 this morning. I woke u at 7:15 and Becca was up around 7:30 while the kids were still sleeping. Once I was ready to go I ran down to the food court to get some drinks for the day. When I got back to the room Laney and Mason were up and getting...

    August 23, 2010 Our kids were nice enough to sleep in for us today with Mason being the first one up at 8:15, Becca and I had been up for 30 minutes already. Once Mason woke up I took him out of the room and down to the food court for breakfast. For breakfast Mason got the waffle meal...

    THanks GG. We loved our Augist trip. It was only crazy hot a couple of times. Most of the time your in and out of AC and the rain does help.

    Our trip from 18 months ago...updated 3/5 with day 8 & 9, finally home

    August 22, 2010 Mason was up first today, around 7:00. I was foolishly hoping he would have slept in a little but that’s not how he rolls. Laney woke up shortly after Mason so I took the kids out of the room to let Becca and Cole slept a little longer. We learned early in our family...

    August 21, 2010 Everyone was up around 7:30 and we filtered down the hall for the complimentary breakfast. Breakfast was good enough, your standard hotel breakfast fare, waffles, oatmeal, boxed cereal and so forth. We ended up hitting the road around 8:30, stopping at the Florida welcome...

    Parking reimbursement

    We will already have our park tickets when we arrive for our next trip to the world (we'll be driving in from 2 hours away). I would like to go right to AK and check in to CBR after we leave the park. Will I be able to get reimbursed for the price of the parking when we check in or no?

    Toy Story Mania August Refurb

    It’s unfortunate that the ride will be down while I’m there but what really gets me is that the people who would have been in line for TSM will now be in line with me at RNRC and TOT.

    Did anyone else notice they extended the kids free Disney Visa offer?

    i just called to push my trip into value season from the beginning of August to the end of the month. I was told that there are no codes for anything past Aug 14th at this time. Maybe I'll call later and try to get a different agent.

    Driving from Western NY?

    Last year we left Buffalo at 4:00 am and arrived in Jacksonville, FL around 10 pm. The trip back we left WDW after breakfast at 11:00 and drove straight through arriving home at 5:00 am. That was a bit much but we wanted to send the kids to school the next day, and we did. This summer we...

    Found a camera

    A couple of weeks ago I left my camcorder on the Buzz Fastpass machines. After freaking out and searching all over I eventually checked City Hall an hour after I lost it and it was already there. I'm sure it was turned in right away.

    Pony Rides?

    We just did the pony rides last week. The pony ride is a quick lap around a marked path which takes about 5 minutes, where as the Segway tour, which I've taken on a previous trip, is about 2 hours. There are other things to keep kids busy like a playground, look at the stable and animals and a...
