    We Just Got Back...

    We were there during this same time period (9/29-10/8), and I thought the crowds were very manageable. We made efficient use of fastpasses and made sure we got to the parks at opening, but we didn't go commando-style or rush to everything... and we still had no more than a 20-30 minute wait for...

    is the carosel of progress open?

    I was surprised to see it open on 9/30 - we rode it then.

    Skatebording in the parks

    FWIW... I saw Heely's (sp?) everywhere last week. Lots of kids scooting around on them, in the parks at at the resort.

    Food and Wine Reviews

    One thing I missed from last year... they used to have samples of each item offered for viewing in a plexiglass container. For all of the unfamiliar foods, it was nice to see what it was. They didn't have that this year. I would also echo the comment that it would be better without children...

    Crowds for Columbus Day Weekend

    I didn't think they were bad. We were there from September 29 through yesterday, and I had expected to see a marked upswing in crowds on Friday the 6th and Saturday the 7th. We had had a nice week crowd-wise - always a crowd just walking around, but certainly nowhere near as bad as went we last...

    Anybody know if it's open now? Or more to our point, will it likely be open the first week of October? :) Carla

    Visit water park & theme park same day, no park hopper?

    Please confirm that I will be able to do this... I was assuming so, but read something on TGM this morning that made me unsure. We have 10-day MYW tickets with the Water Parks & More option. We have not purchased the park hopper option as I don't think we'll need to use it. So here's my...

    Mountain Dew available on property?

    Thanks for the replies, I broke the news to the Dew junkie yesterday. She then asked if Mr. Pibb was available... so yet another pop question, I guess! Carla :banana:

    Mountain Dew available on property?

    A question for my Dew-obsessed teenager... is Mountain Dew available on property anywhere or is it Mello Yello (or nothing similar :sad2: )? I know Disney serves Coke, and I think Dew is a Pepsi product, so it's probably Mello Yello... but I can't remember what they serve since none of us were...

    Glasses allowed on slides at water parks?

    We've been to WDW before, but not to the water parks. I'm very nearsighted, and since I like to actually be able to see :thumbsup2 my children while swimming/visiting a water park, I generally wear my glasses on the slides. Some water parks don't want you to do that, however. How does Disney...

    Ticket increase doesn't affect paid in full pkgs, right?

    I paid off our MYW w/ free dining package on 8/5 just in case when I read about the ticket increase (payment was due by 8/14 anyway). I paid the amount it had shown due for months online and it showed a zero balance after the payment. The next day I happened to check it and it shows a balance of...

    Has Disney ruined you for other parks?

    I also wouldn't say Disney has ruined other parks for us, but it is really hard not to constantly compare them. We went to Silver Dollar City the first weekend in June and had a good time. It was a fun long weekend, and it definitely has a different feel to it than your typical theme and/or...

    Hot chocolate at Disneyworld?!

    Yes, what about hot chocolate? :) DD has developed a taste for hot chocolate since we were last there and loves to have it every morning for breakfast. I assume it will be available at the POR food court and table service restaurants like it is when we go out for breakfast at home? Carla

    Non smoking room request

    Interestingly, when I made our reservations for October at POR, I gave a non-smoking room as our first request. I didn't do anything more than ask for it, no mention of medical conditions, etc. When I got our paperwork from Disney, it is listed as "Special Request: Guaranteed Non-Smoking"...

    Going in October and thinking of skipping MNSSHP?

    We went to MNSSHP in October 2004, and as the night went on it was more and more packed. In fact, it was far more packed than at any park any time during our June 2003 trip! We liked the atmosphere and it was fun wearing the costumes to MK, the special parade and Wishes were very cool, but we...

    Make your LeCellier reservations quick!!

    I had no problem getting the time we wanted (around 5:30 pm) at LeCellier for the first week of October when I called a few days ago... no trouble getting anything else either, for that matter. When I got to the LeCellier day, the CM on the phone said "Oooh, you're going to love eating there!"...

    Anyone having trouble getting adr's during free dining?

    Got everything we wanted, within a half hour, Sept. 29-Oct. 8. I bet that won't be the case for too much longer though... it's a relief to have that taken care of! Carla
