    Artist Point, day or night?

    It seems like we had a 9:30 seating this past February. We've only been after dark and the architecture of the restaurant really stands out against the dark windows. I'm not sure if the view is anything spectacular as you either face the Contemporary Resort & Bay Lake or the tall trees...

    Are all Fast Pass return windows always 1 hour???

    If I recall correctly, the return window also plays a part in when you can get additional FPs for other rides. So, not only do you get the luxury of waiting to ride at any time past the open time on the window but you can also use your tickets to obtain other FPs for rides. It's a science...

    Studio or 1 Bedroom??

    We just returned from our 1st stay in a studio. In fact, we spent 2 nights in a studio and 2 nights in a 1BR. Our kids are 14 & 11. Even if it is just DH & me, I think I'll always go for the 1BR. I get up earlier than he does, and it is so nice to be able to close the bedroom door to make...

    Expedition Everest for roller coaster chickens

    I would compare it to Space Mountain but not in the dark and not nearly as rough. I think it was scariest because you are going from inside the mountain to outside. Sadly, my eyes don't adjust to light changes like they did when I was younger!! It was kinda like light-dark-light in seconds...

    Great Movie Ride tip

    When we first entered the building, there were two "lanes" at the entrance. Waaay before the movie room. We honestly thought we would get turned back but we took a chance. This right-hand lane was an empty queue within the movie room. Someone must've noticed that we took that lane...

    Disney Bus Transportation for WL

    We used ME from MCO to WL and had to stop at 2 other resorts on the way to WL. I'm not sure if they are always the same 3 resorts on that bus, though. The driver told us it would take approximately 1 hour and he was very accurate. We waited on the bus for about 30 minutes for it to fill up...

    What time do the Contemporary shops open/close?

    We left Cali Grill and browsed in the larger gift shop - cannot recall the name - and left around 10:30. They were not in any hurry to close up so I guess they are open fairly late. Hope that helps. Enjoy your trip - I'm having post-trip blues. :sad1:

    Kim Possible Attraction ??

    Kim Possible is one of the most fun things we have done at WDW in ages. It is very appealing to adults as it is very interactive. You will probably see things you glossed over in the past. We did 3 separate missions and a CM told us there are 7 total missions. A little hint - you only...

    Great Movie Ride tip

    When we arrived at the line last week, we noticed the entrance to the right seemed open. The line was getting pretty long on the left, though. We just knew the right side must not be open but we took a chance. While the left side was waiting outside the building, we walked right through into...

    Expedition Everest for roller coaster chickens

    I held the backpacks last year while DD & DS rode EE several times in a row last year. I did ride Splash Mountain, Space Mountain & Thunder Mountain railroad last year but as a rule, I am the biggest roller coaster chicken in our entire family. After much reading here on the board and...

    Toy Story Mania is darling

    Do not leave visiting Toy Story Mania until your last day in the parks! You might not make it on!!! Case in point.....We were at HS last Friday and thought we would grab a Fast Pass for TSM for the entire family. By 1 pm, there were no more fast passes to be distributed. And the...

    Recent reviews of Portobello Yacht Club

    We've been to the Portabello Yacht Club on past trips for both lunch & supper. We had an ADR but still had to wait 30 minutes for a table. It was very crowded for a 9:15 seating! The service was not as attentive as in the past. We waited about 10 minutes before the server arrived at our...

    What is the latest time to check in?

    When we cruised the last time, we had two little ones and I had the travel agent book everything - air, transfers, etc. The kids are much older now so I'm booking some of these details. I'm trying to find out what is our latest arrival time into MCO on the day we cruise. We are...

    My waitlist came through - I think

    I was checking on the member website and it looks like my waitlist for a studio came through. It shows the nights broken out and the points redeemed for them. Will I receive a written confirmation like I did when I originally booked the trip and received separate sheets for each portion of...

    Towncar from Airport to Disney?

    If you are doing a round-trip, you do not necessarily have the same driver for both segments of your trip, so tip accordingly! We've used town car service several times before with our most recent trip by FL Tours. They have been the best so far.
