I would DEFINITELY go with AoA! It's new, so it will look much better than the All Star Resorts. The theming is much cuter too, in my opinion.

I'd never miss an opportunity to visit Disney at Christmas! The crowds really aren't bad enough that it should deter you. I also always recommend people stay on site. You just CAN'T be the convenience. GF is the most expensive deluxe, and it is by far more costly than other deluxe ones like...

I've only stayed at the villas side so I'm not really the best person to give advice on views. However, I'll say that while the rooms further from the elevator are quieter, they can be a pretty long walk. I know a lot of people complain about that on here. The standard view rooms overlook...

oh geez this is SUCH a hard question to answer! The AKL is my favorite hotel. When I go there I just feel like I've been transported somewhere far far away. Everything about it is just amazing. The ONLY thing I didn't like when I stayed there was that there aren't really grounds to walk...

There are many great signatures aside from Cali Grill. However, since you mentioned that your mom loves Boma, I suggest Jiko. It's a signature restaurant right across from Boma, and it's my fave in all of Disney. There are lots of more "exotic" dishes, but then a pretty basic filet for your...

Don't hold me to it, but I think most of the special events end right in time for New Year's. I know Epcot's Candlelight Processional ends December 30, and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party ends right before Christmas. The Christmas decorations should be up for a few days after New Year's...

This issue is debated a lot on here. I did the DDP once and currently have TIW. With TIW you have to spend $500 on food and alcohol to break even. So, make sure you look through the menus to see what you'll be eating to make sure it benefits you. If you like to eat at somewhat pricier places...

Whether you go on EMH days really depends on how much use you'd get out of the extra hours. If they're morning ones, it's only an hour and so you should be there as soon as they start. The duration of the evening ones range a lot. When the parks first close there will still be a decent amount...

This is kind of a hard question to answer. When are you goin to Disney World? if it's during a pretty busy time of year, or when free dining is being offered, you'll need reservations for most restaurants. Even during slower times of the year, many restaurants turn away walk-ups (especially...

I forgot to add that they do all serve alcohol. Jiko has a very expansive wine list if you're into that. There are several wines that you can't find elsewhere. Entrees at Jiko run $30-40 and appetizers $10-15. 'Ohana is all you can eat/family style and costs about $35 for dinner. I think...

My absolute favorite restaurant for dinner is Jiko. I love it because: it offers foods I don't know how to make, everything is delicious and always prepared perfectly, and i love the atmosphere. The entrees are delicious, but it's one of few places that i usually make a meal out of appetizers...

I think your friend should book ADR's for the majority of her meals. It is possible to get a walk-up at some restaurants, but they do turn people away quite a bit. I know this past year I tried a walk-up at Jiko and 'Ohana, and they weren't taking anyone the whole night without ADRs. However...

My last trip was summer and the one before that was early December. This next trip will be MLK weekend, so I guess it'll be pretty busy. I'll try to get there before epcot and HS close and hopefully that'll help!

Someone posted on here that you can eat at the bar/lounge at Bluezoo without reservations. Has anyone done this? Is it a pretty big area, or can the wait time be pretty long? I hate making so many reservations, so it woudl be nice to just stop by somewhere for a change! I'd be visiting the...

Thanks! Is a post-park visit (like 9:00) pretty much out??

Hello, everyone! I love to get ice cream Beaches & Cream whenever I stay in that area, but whenever I go in the evening I'm unable to get a table. They always say they've stopped seating for the night, even if there's over an hour until close. I don't mind eating outside in the summer, but...

I think having workers from each particular country add a lot to the experience. I'm italian and don't want someone similar waiting on me in Morocco! And that's interesting that many of the restaurants in the World Showcase aren't actually owned by Disney...I had no idea!

I think that sounds like an awesome opportunity. There are very few affordable ways to live abroad at such a young age! It's nice to know most of the workers enjoy it, too. To Katt, good luck! I hope you are accepted ;)

I've always wondered but never asked...most of the world showcase employees have accents and are clearly from the country they're representing. Most of them are also very young. Is there some program where they come and work for Disney for a year or so and then return home? Or did they all...

I think it all depends what your vacationing habits are. I did a split stay between OKW/BCV last week and wouldn't hesitate to do one again. I pack lightly and didn't mind spending roughly 20 minutes each packing and unpacking bags. We dropped our bags off at bell services in the morning...
