The airfare is so high because you are more than eight months away from your trip. Just keep checking (lower rates be released around October) and you will find something. FYI, the best times to check rates are Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for most carriers. Prices will probably be...

We (DW, DS8 and DD4) have stayed in both the AKL and WL. I would DEFINITELY recommend the WL. Here's why: 1: The views of the lake are beautiful. Yes, the Savannah is cool, but to me it is not as peaceful as the lake. 2: Coming and going from the MK via boat is very cool Yes, it can be...

Actually, all of the rooms have a balcony or patio. Rooms on the first floor have a patio area surrounded by rocks and vegetation. Personally, I prefer rooms on the upper levels, as they tend to have better views of the resort. Regardless, you'll love WL. :love: It is perhaps the most...

I have been going to WDW since the mid-1970s, and I would say customer service has slipped a bit. Some of this is the inevitable result of more / larger parks, the increased demands of the customers, etc. I must say, though, that I think part of it is due to declining management structure and...

I have stayed at both resorts and really liked them both. POR is beautifully landscaped and very peaceful (romantic, even) and has a really good pool. Its bus service was good, and it definitely had that Disney feel to it. Both hotels are kid friendly, but I thought POR seemed more like a...

:cool1: We stayed in one several years ago. They're very nice--they have a sitting area with a table and couch in the "living room" and then a large bedroom and bathroom area. Perfect to sit in the living room and relax / plan the day. We upgraded using SPG points. I do not have any...

We stayed in a Swan Studio this March. They are LOVELY rooms--nice and big with great views. What I particularly liked was the ability to sit down with family and plan the day in the "dining area." The heavenly beds are awesome, and the extra room is really nice. To me, a Swan studio would be...

Here is the information on the workout room at WL. My wife and I were just there and worked out every day. The rates are: $15 / day; $25 / person, length of stay; $45 / family length of stay. (We chose the latter. They write "FLOS" on your room key, which you bring with you daily.) The...

I would agree that it is appropriate to tip. To be frank, if you can afford the $100+ to stay in a Disney hotel, I think it is appropriate to give the maid $5 or so a day. I realize the person who started the poll was clearly asking for guidance on tipping--and thus probably shares my and...

Sorry to hear that your experience was so bad, JerseyJanice. We took the 8.30 a.m. buses to AK and EPCOT and the 8.30 a.m. boat to MK to get there a bit early, so maybe we missed the 'peak' times around 10.00 or so. (At least 10.00 is when I would estimate it was busiest). BTW, those buses...

My wife and I just returned from the Wilderness Lodge on Sunday, 6/16 after a five night stay. I had read the boards with some concern, as many complained of poor transportation. I must say that we thought the transportation was GREAT. The longest we waited for a boat or bus was six minutes...
