    Is anyone going to see the Space Shuttle launch

    Well, my husband read an article on-line that said that they have 3 scheduled, but if this one does not good well they may scrap the rest. If they do eventually sell tickets to the 8/28 launch, you need to go online at the exact time to get the best viewing tickets. I decided to call that...

    Is anyone going to see the Space Shuttle launch

    Hi, We have tickets to see the Space Shuttle Launch on July 1st while on our vacation. Any other people going? My DH thinks this may be the last shuttle they ever launch. It will certainly be a moment to be remembered by our children.

    HELP--Still Torn - Pop(5days=$700) AK(5days=$1450)

    I agree with the person who suggested Old Key West Studio villa for the same money as AKL. We have stayed at POP, WL, CSR,CR, Saratoga Springs, POR, and Boardwalk. We are Disney Vacation Club members, but we spend a few days each visit at a Disney hotel. I would say of the home away from home...

    Marriott Frenchman's Reef in St Thomas???

    We stayed at Frenchman's Reef in January of 2004. It was wonderful. A great resort. Amazing beach. Good restaurants. It is very easy to take a cab anywhere and the rates are standard for all cabs to where you are going. While we were there the Queen Mary 2 was making it maiden voyage and we got...

    Change Last Year AP to DVC PAP now

    I got it done when we went, but it took begging and pleading with them at DTD guest services. EPCOT just refused to do it at all. Others have said DVC says it is ok to do it and that some CM's will just do it without problem. Not in my case. They finally did it, but no refund of money was given...

    Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon w/6yr old?

    We just got back and did both. Our children are 6 and 4. I would say BB is better for that age group. A bigger play area for kids and a good section called ski patrol for the 6 to maybe 12 year old. Tikes Peak for the under 4 foot crowd. Our son is taller,but still did many of the things there...

    Would you put your 4 year old on Mission Space

    We did let our 5 year old son ride it maybe 3 times last year. We just came back from Disney on Tuesday. We did not let him ride this time because of the childs death. At age 5 though he rode everything including rockin roller coaster and tower of terror. He loves them. I think the child that...

    Space Mountain: Can a thin-ish 5 year old handle it?

    Our just turned 4 year old rode it. She loved it. You have to sit behind one another. Individual seats. There are 3 seats to each cart. 2 carts are connected. So, you would want to sit in seats 1 and 2 or 4 and 5. She seats in 1 or 4 and you in 2 or 5. You should be able to hold her shirt...

Everyone seems to go there. MGM was bad at RNR and ToT. Saorin I would do a fastpass for. It was amazing. I...

    What to bring....

    We just got back from BWV studio. I would bring softsoap in a dispenser. We bring our own roll of paper towels. I like bounty better than what they provide. We always bring/buy too much food there, so I would trim your list down by at least 1/3. We did mostly breakfast. That worked good. Hope...
