    7:30 at Rose & Crown a good time for Illuminations???

    I would have immediately asked to speak to the manager. That is not acceptable. To the op, we had a great time...7:30 ADR, showed up at 7:15, very nicely requested outside table (we saw others who were very demanding--it backfired on them), seated outside by 7:45, having dessert during...

    Truly bad dining experiences?

    Not horrible, but disappointing. No flames, but Chef Mickeys. Waited 75 minutes past PS, food cold, buffet dirty, service non-existent. And no, we're not overly picky. And CRT--well, loved the castle, got a bad table (right when you come up the stairs...boom, there we were...we got bumped...

    How is Hollywood & Vine??

    Crystal Palace is our favorite, glad to see you are having dinner there. I MUCH preferred H&V to CM. I thought the food was much more interesting and way better tasting. CM was not as clean at all when we were there! Funny how every experience is different.

    Does Belle always wear the same costume?

    We only saw her in blue (except for the mgm show). We loved seeing her in WS France behind the shops...we are all alone with her and Beast for at least 5-10 minutes. I found a blue dress at http://www.missem.com/storybook/village_belle.html It is pricey but cute. We justified it by using...

    Rose and Crown question....

    Wow, we had the opposite experience of rushing. Our lovely waitress helped us time things just right. When she brought the salads, she said she'd make sure we had plenty of time to enjoy them before the dinner. She then timed each course so that we were receiving coffee and dessert just...

    Plantar faciitis (heel spur)

    Start wearing the orthotics in your shoes now....sneakers or closed shoes, not sandels. The key for me was a heel insert, lifting the heel and lessening the stress. I don't know when your trip is, but you may get some relief before you go. The exercises mentioned are good, too. GL!

    ?? about Wishes location...

    We loved the view just at the beginning of the hub, to the right as you go toward the bridge to tomorrowland. But don't go too far toward the bridge, we were still right by the corner of main street. We had a great view of Tink as well as the show/castle. As I watched, I thought if you were...

    Should we go to Epcot? Help!

    Another Epcot vote. We love it. Really check out the show schedules. my kids loved playing the drums at the Africa station, acrobats, USA band, candy lady in Japan, etc. Many of the shows don't start until the p.m., so plan accordingly. They like both the Norway and mexico boat rides (Norway...

    Epcot, what am I missing

    We love Epcot! FW is good, but I too am not one to spend a lot of time looking at the displays. My dh likes it, I get a bit bored. But there are some things (they've all been mentioned) that are great (turtles, TT). I can't wait to try Soarin, it wasn't open when we were there. My kids love...

    Calling all Obsessive Planners!! I need planning help!!!

    re: your question on FP...there was a thread about this not long ago, but here is our experience. On our last trip we had several CMS tell us we could ride anytime AFTER the FP window, just not before. Anytime that day, not another day! They said that was what they had been told to do...

    Comments Needed: Wonderland Tea Party

    My dds 4 & 8 really enjoyed this. They called it the highlight of their trip, and we had LOTS of other princess encounters. My mom & I had lunch at the cafe right there at GF so we were close by. It is a very cute activity. My Disney Princess party sounds great, but this one is much more...

    Character Greeting Experience

    My dds were 6 and 2.5 and we stopped to check if we could eat lunch at the castle without a ps. No problem was the answer, but I warned the girls that there were no characters at lunch. Well, we walked into the foyer/lobby area and there sat Cinderella on the throne and the FG by her side...

    CRT or Princess Breakfast in Norway?

    We love the castle but would pick Norway. We gotta see Belle, Mulan, Jasmine...love 'em! The food was good, they do start with fresh fruit and cinn. rolls. Don't be shy about asking for something-they may be able to do it. Our waiter brought a big bowl of fresh strawberries when he noticed...

    cindys breakfast

    Well, if you are doing 1900 for dinner with Cindy, I'd book PSB for breakfast if you can. My dd's love it because they are big Belle, Mulan and Jasmine fans. Again, there is no guarantee about who will be there, but since these three appear at other places in Epcot, its a good bet they'll be...

    Alice's Tea Party at GF

    My dds did this in October and there were three or four boys at the party(maybe 16 or 18 kids total, I can't remember). The kids play games (hide and seek, simon says) with the Mad Hatter, so there are plenty of fun activities for both genders! The only problem might be if he is the only boy...

    If you had to skip one park, which would it be?

    I'd say AK, but I could do AK in the morning and MGM afternoon and evening and still see all my faves. I'd just focus my AK time on 3-4 things tops.

    Do my 5 and 7 DD's need strollers?

    I am a big supporter of renting the double stroller. With a 5 & 7 yo, I personally think you'll be ok at the resort and dtd without a stroller. So you might not need to bring one from home anymore. But in the parks--absolutely! I got a double for my 4 yo because i knew the 8 yo would want to...

    Need help on my itinerary!!!

    I may have missed it, but do you have any late afternoons at World Showcase? It seems like you are leaving Epcot in the pm for waterparks. Many of the great shows at WS start in the p.m. only...you may miss them if you leave too soon. Have a great trip!
