    If anyone's interested, I finally put my photos from this trip online. They're on my website, at http://www.beowulf99.com/digipics.html. W

    Our AKL trip, 8/14-8/21 (long)

    Sorry I didn't reply to this question sooner. I think they're basically the same thing - but with the Kodak offer, you get one booklet per camera, and each booklet has passes for 5 rides in each park. For the Studios, they're for T2-3D, MIB, BTTF and a couple of others I can't remember right...

    Our AKL trip, 8/14-8/21 (long)

    Hey Chris, We did skip some things (mostly lesser attractions) as we've done the parks a couple of times before. Plus I can't emphasize enough how much the express passes helped. I got my Kodak waterproof MAX cameras (with the Universal passes inside) at the Walmart down by Mopac and 290...

    The trip itself, and this thread, have combined into something I'll never forget. Awesome :)

    Our AKL trip, 8/14-8/21 (long)

    Well this is pretty amazing... Yep, we live in Austin TX and are originally from England. Unless exactly the same thing happened on the same night to other people, I think we've met before! I'm 6'5" and my wife is 5'3" (we look like a circus act when we're together :teeth: ), and I was...

    AKL Standard To Savannah Upgrade???

    We stayed at the AKL just a couple of weeks ago and were upgraded from standard to savannah. Didn't have to ask for it, no idea why they offered it, the resort seemed pretty full to me. Plenty of people were in the standard rooms too (we saw them going in to their rooms, lights on at night etc)...

    firstmickey: Day 5: Off to Mars (part I)

    Just wanted to say that my wife and I just got back from WDW, and rode Mission Space twice on different days. Neither of us got sick or suffered any ill effects at all from the ride, and not only that, we didn't see anyone who did either. In fact, all we heard as we were coming out was people...

    Our AKL trip, 8/14-8/21 (long)

    I'm not one for writing huge long trip reports, so here are some highlights. I might write up a longer version over the weekend if I get the urge though :) The travellers were myself and my wife (both 31, no kids). - Flights were reward travel tickets with Continental. I was able to...

    To tall to ride?

    I'm 6'5" too and I've never had a problem with any ride at WDW or Universal. RnRC is one of my favourites! W

    How wet do you get on Splash Mnt and Kali Rapids?

    I hated Kali. I thought the ride was severely lame (similar to POTC in severity, ie not a thrill ride at all), and they had stuff that was designed to just get you wet without any other point to it at all. I got SOAKED, like others said, jump-in-the-pool soaked. Doubt I'll ever do it again. W

    Terror Alerts and Flying...

    I guarantee that after 9/11 there will be many people like me on airplanes now - pissed-off 6'5" 220lb 30 year old males who will flatten any potential hijacker as soon as he stands up. There's no way I'm letting anyone fly me or my wife into a building. The 9/11 hijackers told the passengers...

    someone famous

    So beatlebailey, let me get this straight, a rockstar known for his hell-raising knocked on your hotel door and asked you to be quiet?! I'm not sure but I think that makes you some kind of superhero. W

    great car rental rate

    laurabelle, it's the base price. Total is estimated at $155 with taxes etc. I was expecting to pay around $130 - $140 total; as others have said, prices seem high right now. W

    great car rental rate

    Just use the CDEM code at Dollar for the compact weekly rate of $119. I've got one reserved for August. The coupon you get when joining FastPass isn't a double upgrade, you get two single-class upgrade coupons but can only use one at a time. Still not bad for free! W

    How about this theory... (movie spoilers ahead): In the timeline that resulted in Judgement Day in 1997, Skynet was built with a central core, as networking technology was more primitive and less widespread than it is today. However as we know, that timeline ceased to exist when the events...

    Who takes the same photos every trip?

    I've been twice to WDW, and the first time we were there (summer 2000) I took this picture: For some reason I really liked it, but it always bugged me that the very tip of the spire was cut off! It's a bit hard to see at this small resolution, but if I'd only moved the camera up a...
