    Questions about Saratoga Springs Buses

    I just got back from SSR and stayed at Congress Park stop#4. Most people who boarded with wheelchairs were at the Springs. The ride to MK seemed very long between waiting for the bus, circling the resort, and getting there. The parks were all very busy last week and by taking it slow we had a...

    Is Disney Dining really worth it for DVC members?

    It's been awhile since I've posted, but I just figured this out for our last trip. Just returned with my wife for 6 nights and our food cost was $320 including tips:goodvibes. We used to live in FL and used the 20% discount card and we have used the DDP. This time, we wanted ultimate flexibility...

    Town Car / Van to Port

    Greetings! I used FL Tours last week for the Christmas Cruise. The driver was on time at the Hyatt Airport and drove us in a clean towncar safely to the port in about 40 minutes. At the end, the driver was there as we got off the ship. He brought over the car and drove us safely to the...

    I got a Secret Porthole Room!!! 5020

    I was in 5022 for the 10 Christmas Cruise in 2005 and it was great! We booked it immediately when the tix went on sale. It was awesome and as previous poster mentioned be careful as workers are out there all of the time especially in port. Enjoy!

    Anyone have any trouble using the raddison shuttles

    It was crazy for sure. We were worried once our luggage got on that we had seats. It ended up being okay. We sat next to a lady who's husband was the doctor on board so we learned about that. We saw her and her husband many times on the cruise (not from being sick). We returned via taxi at...

    Hello Disney Christmas Cruisers. I was on board when this thread started and tried keeping up for a while but between moving last year and spending the summer away it has been difficult. My name is Doug and my DW is Amy. We will be in 5522 and are looking forward to meeting everyone. I...

    Florida Disney Dining Experience?

    We love this card and have made great use of it. They even take it at the food court in All-Star Resrts! Makes the coffee that much cheeper! If you go for a weekend you've paid for it and can enjoy the savings the rest of the year. We got it in Nov 03 and have saved over $200 so far. We are...

    anyone eaten at Grand Floridian Cafe for dinner?

    My wife and I ate there for dinner on Thanksgiving and had a terrible time. Stick with the Park Fare Buffet for dinner there or of course their fancier places if that's your thing. We were not impressed with the service or food quality at all. Maybe it's nice for breakfast but I'd pass on it...

    Please review - 50's Prime Time Cafe

    Keep this reservation! The peanut butter and Jelly Milkshake is great! It is enough for 2 easily! I enjoy their meatloaf and the fried chicken was enjoyed by my father in-law. Desserts look tempting but I'm able to say no since the food was so good. Oh, we had onion rings one time and...

    Thanksgiving question

    We dined at Disney last Thanksgiving and had dinner at Grand Floridian Cafe. My wife and I were very disappointed. Our waitress had a very large table that occupied her time and all of our food was brought out together. We had an appetizer, salads, and turkey with trimmings and it all came...

    Is being near the elevators a good or bad thing?

    I never like being by elevators. There is much more foot traffic. I am surprised to hear that the noise is not louder. I guess that I'd rather not have to worry as much about people passing by as I am exiting and entering my room all the time. I have booked rooms mid ship mostly. I sat with...

    A couple of easy questions

    A couple of thoughts. 1- I really like having a power strip handy. I really didn't like pulling out the tv. This is especially true in an inside cabin standard. We had a few more options with the larger rooms. 2- We had tablemates who took the catamaran in St. Johns. They had a miserable...

    Castaway Cay Massage

    In March I cruised the Magic and booked a CC massage. It was $135 for 55 minutes (or 50?) Since it was a busy time of year I bet they jacked up the price. It was very warm that day and the fans were blowing in the room. I had imagined that the sound of the ocean would put me into a state of...

    Great idea, Garry!!! We could probably sell out one of the mornings. I am sure there will be enough of us by the time Dec 18 comes along.

    Garry, My wife and I are in 5522. I might have sent you a message before but now I am not sure. We are looking forward to enjoying our Secret Porthole. We know who is in 5524 and 5024, but who are in the other three secret porthole rooms. Disney does not admit that they exist. They...

    Candlelight Processional Dinner Package ??

    We did not get the package although we thought about it. In the end we were glad we didn't. We waited in line for the first show (if you get in line for the later you listen to the first show be performed). There were so many people who filed in with the VIP package that they were not all...

    Brown Derby..Yay or Nay??

    Sorry...I had heard so much good stuff about the Brown Derby and was in the end a bit disappointing. We made this our first meal of our vacation so perhaps we were just too tired. Later on we tried the Prime Time and really enjoyed ourselves. PB and J milkshake!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

    20041218-cruise-friends-memories

    We are in 5522. I've emailed Garry to get on "the list"! We can't wait to be a part of this adventure! My wife and I are new residents to Bradenton, FL and will not need airfare for a change. This saves us some $$$. More for cocktails and coffee drinks at Palo! We'd love to have 3 or 4...
