    Shades of Green or a Disney value resort?

    Have done both. Would tell you 100% SoG. Bigger room, no tax, and SoG has a feel to it that is more layed back.

    Late ADR for Ohana

    We did this about two years ago and did not fell rushed at all. I felt like our waiter went out of way to not make us feel rushed. It actually worked out great for us. We got up, did the Extra Magic Hour at a park I don't remember then went to breakfast. Because we ate so late in the...

    Shula's Question?

    My wife and I dined there about two years ago. If I remember correctly on the menu it says if you split a meal you still get charged like $15 or $20. I am not 100% sure on this so please check. But any other upscale steak house that we have dined at had the same policy. By the way you will...

    Disney Vacations During School

    We use to do it all of the time. At least twice a year. Now, however, kids are 16, 13, and 10 so it is harder and harder to do because of the amount of make up work and it seems like teachers are not willing to work with us as they have been in the past when the kids were in lower grades. Now...

    Savanna View or Arusha View

    Trying to talk my wife into staying at AKL over Thanksgiving. And so far I have not been to successful. For those of you that have stayed in a Savanna or Arusha view room I need your help. First of all what is the difference between the two. When I go on Disney.com to get an estimate...

    Has a CM Ever Been Exceptionally NICE To You?

    My wife is at WDW as I am typing this. She is there with some friends for a Girl's 4 day weekend out. Anyway, they went to DS today wanted ride RandRRC. I guess it went down around two. So they waited, waited, and waited. They kept going back checking if the ride was up. It never was...

    Give it to me straight! (bed bugs)

    I have stayed in 9 different hotels in the last two months. In Sacramento, North Little Rock, and Atlanta. Not once did I have a problem with bed bugs. Also all the times that we as a family have stayed at WDW no problem with the bugs.

    Brush with greatness at MK!

    We were able to get a personal meet and greet with Favre at ESPN the weekend in 2009. I was waiting for my son to do some stuff at a booth and struck up a conversation with a cast member in a plaid vest. After a while she took me and my family behind a wall and told us to wait there. About...

    Best resort for a couple?

    Two years ago my wife and I stayed at POR and loved it. It is a small resort not very loud and it was nice to just sit down and people watch. Looking back on it I think that I should have gone with either AKL or WL. We both love those resorts, however this was a last minute trip and did not...

    I guess this is what I get for not being on the Sog thread for a while. Looks like we will be walking to Poly to hop on the monorail from now on.

    parking at resorts

    As many times as I have been I have never seen someone get towed. Guess I was just not in the right place at the right time. Also, while staying at SoG over Thanksgiving we would drive to CR or Poly to do some shopping and ride the monorail and we were never given a parking pass. Were also...

    What can you tell me about Shades of Green?

    For a family of 5 we can't beat it. Room size is the biggest plus for us. Food is hit or miss like someone else said. They do charge you to park. Can't remember how much I want to say $5 a night but not sure. We use to drive to all the parks when we could park for free. Now I hear that Sog...

    The WALDORF ASTORIA ORLANDO and HILTON BONNET CREEK Information Thread

    We stayed at the HBC for a couple of nights back in Feb. On the 11th floor and upgraded to Dis view because of being a HHoners Gold member. Only paid $81 plus tax which was a military rate. B-fast was good. We had it both days we were there. Again free because of HHoners. Kids loved...

    Beaches & Cream

    We love B and C. We feel like the burgers are better there than any other restaurant at the World. And the amount of food seems like is larger than other CS restaurants. Last year the kids and I were setting around on a Sat AM and were thinking what we could do to suprise the wife for her...

    POP or Hilton DD?

    Do you have to stay at the Hilton at DtD. We stayed at the Hilton at Bonnet Creek which is nicer than the Hilton at DtD. And the pool is 100% better than a pool at a value or the DtD Hilton. On a down side you do not get EMH and parking is $13 a day. I would encourage you to take a look at it.

    I am wrong?

    Thanks for all of the replys. I probley should add something. My wife has not seen her BF since OCT when she moved to TX. That is why I have no problem with her going on the cruise. I guess that is the only time that BF could get off work because I did ask if she could move the date...

    I am wrong?

    For the past two years we take the kids to ATL to watch a Braves game. We usually catch two or three a year. So when the schedule came out we picked three games that we would go to. We live about six hours away so when we go we make a weekend out of it. One of the weekends that we picked...
