    Just back! Reviews of our "amazing journey"

    kadaten, I understand completely. Being from South Jersey, I have to have my cheesteak fix every so often. It's a heart clogger, and they just don't make 'em like this anywhere else (true Philly cheesesteaks, that is. Cheez Whiz, fried onions, and dripping with goodness. Yum.) You made me...

    Just back! Reviews of our "amazing journey"

    Well, I had to say that because during our wonderful week, we happened to watch "The Bachelor" finale, and I swear, if they said "amazing journey" one more time, my husband and I would have choked! It became the "phrase" for the rest of the trip! We'd say, "well, we could eat here, but if we ate...

    CM almost cost me my Cindy's reservation!

    Wow! I've been to WDW three times, (and am happily returning in 4 days-yay!) but have never been to the castle to eat. Is it that out of this world that one would seem to have to be, well, kinda rude to the people on the phones to get a ressie? No disrespect here, but it seems like loudly...

    New Land

    After reading (with a measure of surprise) so many comments about "rude New Jerseyans ...with apparent accents", of course I would say, add "New JerseyLand"! What a great idea! It could feature rides such as "It's a Small New Joisey World After All, Dude!", "The Teacup Ride" (where teacups...

    Late Friday arrival, need cheap hotel 1 nite and then will check into POR?

    I would absolutely do that - we were so buzzed from getting up so early in the morning last time we flew in that the first day was all a blur. It would have been a shame to waste it in the parks. Plus, my kids were all grouchy and by dinnertime, completely overloaded. We stayed at HIFS, which I...

    POR review - our first time!

    IandGsmom, don't worry at all - I tend to notice tiny details (maybe a little too much, lol!) and there was no dirt, nothing out of place at all at the POR. We stayed there last fall, and so highly recommended it that my sister is there next week. I can't imagine a poor review, unless it is a...

    Give me your PS recomendations

    I have to second the Prime Time Cafe votes - plus the Biergarten, both are fantastic for the ambiance and show for kids, and the food is generally good as well. We all liked them. We LOVED O'Hanas, and I would also highly recommend it. The food is top notch, and the coconut races and atmosphere...

    I more question before I go.

    As far as the daily schedule, everywhere you go there are paper schedules for each park at the entrance and they have that day's parades and shows. These were great, because I was so excited my memory jsut went on me, and I referred to these little schedules constantly - oh, and when I got home...

    I'm not making reservations...any thoughts or tips?

    Well, honestly, I hate to be bogged down by "we have to eat here" plans, but if you want to relax, why wouldn't you make PS? First of all, they aren't fixed in stone, so if you are doing something else or change your mind, you can cancel them. Secondly, I went last year during a completely dead...

    When does FTP end, anyway?

    ...I'm just curious as to crowd sizes. I've heard the possible crowds the first week or two of November, but we're going the 15th-22nd, and I was hoping they'd diminish some. If FTP is still going on then, they may not! Thanks for the heads up from anyone who knows! Melissa

    Hmm. Never a FaQ page for the poor Poly?

    Just wondering if there was a thread somewhere a while back containing "all you need to know faq" about the Poly? There are everywhere for the WL and some of the others, but I never see one for my beloved Poly! We're going there next month, so if I knew anything to contribute, I'd start one...

    Spending and Food

    I'm the same way - I hate to be caught unprepared, especially since we are not credit card people - other than a debit card for emergencies, we use traveler's checks and cash. Last year I kept a log and tally of all expenses, and I was within $10.00!! I swear! So for next month's trip, I...

    Saturday arrival, what to do?

    We always go through the same thing on our first day - we're tired, but excited to start doing things. Unless time is tight, you may want to do Downtown Disney (Disney Quest is our first day tradition), or do Animal Kingdom, which can easily be seen in an afternoon. You could also do a pool...

    Three days at WDW - which parks?

    If it were me, I'd probably do MK first, then spend Friday in MGM, then Saturday in Epcot. If AK is a must do, then I'd split MGM into a half day, doing AK first in the morning. If you can schedule seeing Wishes and Fantasmic, and try to not to do a commando schedule, you might be able to...

    Beach Hotels - Fort Myers area

    Well, I don't know if this info is still current, but fifteen years ago we stayed on the beach in Estero Island, aka Fort Myers Beach, and had a wonderful time at the Outrigger. It was right on the main road and the hotel was something like $50 a night(?). Of course, fifteen years ago is a long...

    HIFS or Amerisuites - please help me decide.

    I hate to be one of those people who posts anything negative, but because of our experience with HIFS, I'd stay the whole time at your other choice. I had to laugh when you posted about the train ride! We picked the HIFS (although only for one night, thankfully) because of the train ride and...

    Spirit Airlines - Atlantic City

    Yes, we flew out of AC last fall on Spirit. It was a new experience for us, and I have to say I was really happy with them. They left on time, the stewardess with my kids (sorry, I forget what you're supposed to call stewardesses now!!) was so friendly and nice - she got them flight pins and...
