    WILDERNESS LODGE QUESTioNS

    Which was quieter, CBR or WL? WL was much louder for us; there was always a lot of noise in the hallway where we were located. At CBR, we didn't get much traffic past our room. A split stay is a good idea.:thumbsup2

    I just can't justify flying :(

    Since you "have to eat", why do you consider this as an additional cost when comparing driving to flying? I don't consider this an extra cost since we will eat the same amount of food any given day whether we drive or fly.

    WILDERNESS LODGE QUESTioNS

    We stayed at WL when we were able to get a really good rate and it cost us "slightly" more than staying at a moderate. We had read so many good things about it and thought it was worth giving it a shot. Our past visits have included stays at CBR, POR, and 2-rooms at AS-Music. We have several...

    Do you like early flights?

    If there are delays and/or flight cancellations, we have a better chance of picking up some other flight during the day if we are scheduled on an early flight. At our home airport, the earliest flights are out-station flights which must connect to a hub before going to MCO; these usally leave...

    What is the fastest way...

    I was thinking CCC referred to the place where you pick up rental cars at WDW (in other words the Car Care Center), but I couldn't come up with the words to match CCC.:goodvibes If you are staying at a Disney Resort, let the CM know at check-in that you will have a car so they will (should)...

    Too Risky using DME?

    If you have an on-time (or nearly on-time) arrival, you should be able to make it without a problem. You can pick up your clubs (as long as you don't put the Disney tags on them) and load them on the bus you will ride to the resort. You can check in; if the time is getting close, skip going to...

    Sippy cup scandal. Best tips for traveling with/wo kids

    The "spill on aisle 3" probably wasn't deliberate and store management probably didn't view it as being deliberate. I'm guessing store management would have affixed blame if a person was throwing spaghetti sauce on the floor on purpose and would have taken a different approach to the...

    Sippy cup scandal. Best tips for traveling with/wo kids

    The report did not indicate that the authorities made her clean it up. The report states that she was "asked" to clean it up; she made the choice herself. This was her decision to make, not yours or anyone elses; someone else made the decision to not give her a citation or put her under arrest...

    Transportation

    This had been our "policy" during our earlier visits to WDW. However, during our visit last summer (June'06), we visited the MK several times parking our car at TTC. We found this to work out just as good as or better than taking resort bus transportation on several occasions. The 1st time...

    Which breakfast should I pick?

    If you want to eat early (before park opening), Donald's Breakfastosaurus is a good choice. We were able to get FP's for a later ride on Expedition Everest and then ride on the 1st train of the day for Expedition Everest. When it comes to a big breakfast, we usually do one of the following...

    You guys think this would fly????

    We vary our schedule. We won't do an EMH morning if we stay out late at a park the night before. We have taken breaks and made sure to return in time for a parade but it is usually easier to plan that day for staying in the park longer. If we don't take an afternoon break, we'll plan that...

    Fastest Route to EE at rope drop

    Our experience with Breakfastosaurus was similar in June, 2006. We were released to walk past the Nemo theatre a few minutes before official rope drop. However, we did not encounter another rope so I walked to FP machines at EE to get FP's for all of us, then we walked on to ride the 1st EE...

    Memorial Day Crowds?

    Our kids get out of school before Memorial Day. We have found this to be the best time to visit compared to other times we have taking into account that we have always been locked in by school scheduled. Expect it to be a bit "cooler" but not always. Gay Days can cause resorts and parks...

    Thanks; glad you see the light.:goodvibes

    When in May?

    Some school systems end the last week or two of May, so early May is probably less crowded. I don't know the dates for Grad Nights, but I think they only occur on weekends (late April and/or early May).

    Why was Dixie Landings converted to Port Orleans?

    :confused: If you want to pick and choose a negative time period to associate with every location or society on earth, you'll need to rename a lot of places, including the United States of America.:rolleyes1

    Just Got Back: An Alternative View

    Right at opening, the line to EE could be very long, but will move quickly (no FP returns active). When we were there, the roped off areas for the lines were not all opened up, so the 1st riders went directly to the trains. After a few minutes, the CM's would open up new sections to the roped...
