    DVC Fantasyland Preview

    ELMC: call member services. We had not pre-registered but I called and was able to get in. There are certain dates. They had Nov 4 and 5, but I believe they have added more. They also had AP previews and you did need to register for those. I don't know if you still need to register for...

    Empty Nesters Looking for Wet Adventure Advice

    We haven't been to the Disney water parks in a while (we have a large water park close to where we live so my husband doesn't want to give up a day there since our trips have been shorter lately - 5 days or less). However, for relaxing, we loved Discovery Cove! We swam with the dolphins...

    Easiest way to get from FW to POFQ

    Not sure where the trail rides start / end, but we did the carriage rides, and it was towards the back (close to HDDR), a quick walk to the boat dock. If this is the case for you, I think it may be quicker to catch a boat to MK, then bus to POFQ. Have fun!! Sheri

    Do you checkout when you leave? Increasing room turn efficiency

    We usually call and let housekeeping know when we are leaving. A few years ago I ran into a manager type in the BW lobby as I was leaving and she asked if we were checking out, then asked the room number so they could let housekeeping know. Last week I went to the front desk (again at BW)...

    Travel Router on Sale

    Thanks for the info! Looks like I found it too late, but I appreciate you sharing it. While Disney is going wireless, we do travel to other areas, and not all are wireless. For this price, I would have purchased. Thanks again! Sheri

    Back from VGC - Week before Easter

    Thanks for the report! It's nice to know you can get a lot done in the morning with early entry every day. Yes, the paths are much narrower than DW. We went several years back Thanksgiving week, and while the lines were not terribly long, it was crowded everywhere we walked. Are most of the...

    Longest Vacation Ever! VGC, Aulani, & More!--Complete!!!

    Just got back earlier this week from a quick trip to WDW to see Flower and Garden Festival. Came to see if there were any updates and there are!! But I have to wait to read. Just wanted you to know I'm still following along! Glad the CC is going to (hopefully) pay for the rental car...

    What have you seen people do that was too much like they were home?

    A man lounging on a couch in the little lobby room of the BCV massaging his bare toes on the throw pillow!! Sheri

    35 hours until our 7 months

    Also check park schedules for show times for any shows you are wanting to see. I believe at some periods during the year, Aladdin in CA is dark on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so you would want to see this Tuesday. We love this show!! Sheri

    35 hours until our 7 months

    I think that will be enough time in San Francisco for what you have scheduled. I think we spent about 4 hours at Alcatraz between the ferry over and the tour. We biked over the Golden Gate bridge and really enjoyed that. It was really cold though, and that was the first week in July! On the...

    Longest Vacation Ever! VGC, Aulani, & More!--Complete!!!

    It's a shame about the rental car. We never get renter's insurance either. I think some credit card companies include it if you charge the rental to it. I think American Express and maybe others. It seems like you would have received a charge by now if they were going to have you pay. Great...

    Longest Vacation Ever! VGC, Aulani, & More!--Complete!!!

    We ate at the Hula Grill too. Our table was in the sand. We really enjoyed it too. We didn't see the tasting menu. Either it wasn't offered then, or we got there late. I thought you were exaggerating when you said 2 spoonfuls of creme brûlée, but then I saw the picture! Nope! 2 spoonfuls. It...

    Americans in (Disneyland) Paris

    Also, I hate to see your trip come to an end. I'm really enjoying it. Is there anything you may have done differently looking back? Hotels, transportation, sites you visited? Thanks! Sheri

    Americans in (Disneyland) Paris

    Thanks for the update, gorgeous photos, and Cory comments! You did such a great job in planning! I'm going to have to reread your report and take notes again for when we go (I had been taking notes as I went along, but when my computer went for a swim I lost them). We don't have a trip...

    How often does waitlist come through

    We wait listed at VGC for last July. I called a few days before the 7 month window and they had 1 studio, but several 1 and 2 bedrooms. I didn't know how many would be going with us (just my husband and me or plus one or two daughters). I booked the studio for 4 days thinking it would keep our...

    Animal Kingdom Villas CL?

    We were able to book AKL CL at the 7 month window for a trip August 2008. I was able to have a choice between a studio and a one bedroom. However, the resort had not been open that long, and there were fewer AKV owners at the time competing for the rooms. There are only 5 2-bedrooms total...
