Thanks for the great ideas! I actually forgot about the water proof issue... which is something that's important since all of us just have tennis shoes. As for the gaming systems... I'm thinking that may be helpful on those evenings when they cancel fireworks and we go in early. And...

My family is going to DLR for the week starting 2/14. It looks like rain almost every day. :fish: We're traveling with another couple and we both have 8 year old (and very active) boys. Any tips on what we should do, given the bad weather? Also, we're staying at the GC. Do they have...

JandD Mom, I think they just go to one -- although you might want to check and see if they'll go to more than one for an extra fee. Their website shows the main places where they go. I know Albertson's and Chamberlin's aren't listed but they'll go there as well at no extra charge. They do...

I am wondering if I would be able to use the phone in our 1BR at OKW to make dial-up calls (local) to an ISP. Has anyone done this or are these phones not "dial-up-friendly"?

We are *thinking* about selling our OKW DVC. We live in California, so being able to use our points at DLR hotels was a big selling point because we knew we could always use the points in CA if not in FL. However, they have steadily increased the amount of points needed to secure DLR rooms --...

Kez (and others interested in health food), I just found out that "wegoshop.com" will p/u food from Chamberlin's -- which is a local health food grocery chain, similar to Whole Foods. Just thought you might want to know! --LM

I would add my vote to those who prefer the GC. We stayed there for NYE year before last with 5 people and it was just great. I think extreme luxury helps me to deal with what otherwise would be a really difficult situation (5 people in one hotel room.) My son, who was 3 at the time, slept...

Kez, I just looked up an overhead map of the area :magnify: and just saw that I had a (typical for me) dyslexic moment. :upsidedow In fact, Whole Foods IS farther than I thought. I thought it was inbetween MCO and WDW -- but it is actually farther north of MCO -- going NE. Sorry. Now I...

Thanks! That's very helpful! Do you know if there's a list of spices in the kitchen? I seem to remember there being salt & pepper in the cabinet but can't remember what else. As always, this is the best place for DVC info! :)

I remember there used to be a list of the items in an OKW 1 BR condo. Does anyone have that? We're doing our packing and grocery ordering and want to make sure we don't buy/pack anything that's not needed (must leave room for souveniers!) :) Thanks for any info!

We've used our points at the Disneyland Hotel, Paradise Pier & the Grand Californian -- but I don't recall seeing laundry facilities at any of these places. I'd recommend calling to be sure.

If you are into health food, you can also contact Whole Foods. I believe they will have all of your groceries ready for you to just pick up and pay (so you don't have to go through the store to shop.) Albertson's on Orange Blossom Trail did this for us once upon a time (before we cut a lot of...

Thanks for the help! Is there free WiFi anywhere on the WDW property?

Our family is heading back to WDW after 5 long years.:cool1: I have a few questions: (1) I see OKW (our home) now has internet access. Is this free for members? Do I need to be sure to request a room with access? Are there places at OKW where I can get free WiFi access? (2) Last...

... we prefer the HoJo's in Anaheim. They have ample-sized rooms and are clean. They also have nice prices. If you go to www.mouseinfo.com you can also get the low down on how to get the best price for this spot. We're fairly picky about where we go (before we found HoJo's we would only stay...

As a Californian who goes to DLR at least 3-4 times per year, I'm bummed to hear that folks have had bad experiences at DLR. Our family (who regularly goes there with a child in a stroller and a senior in a wheelchair) have had many a magical visit to DLR. We've been taking my grandma to DLR...

If I were to go to DLR by myself I would stay in the GC (make DH pay for making you go on your own!) But also, you would want to be within walking distance of everything - so you wouldn't have to get into a rental car/shuttle to go off property at night/early morning by yourself. As for...

I don't know if they do that at DLR, but here are some other considerations - we've had our Digital camera for over 2 years and here are some ways we work with it: (1) Target and Wal-Mart have on-site digital services. See if there are any near the park or where you will be. Their prices...

This is an on-going debate we have in this household all the time... not so different from the Mac vs. PC and Star Trek original vs new Star Trek series arguments! :jester:

We'll see you there! :wave2: This is our 2nd trip to DLR on NYE - both times at the GC w/a DTD view (Dec 2001 and now Dec 2003). We enjoyed watching the NYE fireworks from our room - much more enjoyable. I still can see the crowds in DTD - wall to wall people. We left the park mid-day and...
