    Staying @ Hard Rock Hotel, Portofino Bay Resort, or Royal Pacific Resort? Start here!

    Signed up for Loews First (now called YouFirst) then found out that stays at HRH Universal Orlando are excluded from receiving benefits. Maybe someone should change the webpage info.

    Caribbean Beach Resort FAQ Part 3

    Hi! We're thinking of staying at CBR for the first time, and the main attraction would be the beaches. Are there beaches other than in the main pool area? Thanks for your help!:)

    CBR and renting a car

    Hope you don't mind if I piggyback a question about transportation from CBR. :) The posts here have already answered some of my questions. If we want to take a cab, how do we go about doing that? I assume they're not sitting at the Custom House waiting for a fare? And, is it expensive to...

    Fireworks from Poly?

    We had dinner at the Kona Cafe and ended up eating very late because of the wait. Afterwards, right on the level of the restaurant, but not in the restaurant, therefore free and public, there are some very large picture windows and we watched the fireworks from there. DS loved it since he...

    Family of 4...how many suitcases?

    Hey! Overpacked or not, we're GOING (leaving the house in a few hours to go to the airport) with 3 26" suitcases, a stroller, a carryon size suitcase(to be checked), backpack for DS and I, and a briefcase type carrier for DH (and my fannypack purse, and a small softsided cooler)...and as you've...

    How big is the cooler that's allowed into the parks?

    I read that coolers are allowed into the parks if they can fit into the lockers. Since we were childless last time we went, we didn't pay any attention to coolers or lockers. What size does this mean? 6 pack? 12 pack? Thanks for all you help! We're leaving in the morning and I want to...

    Need help with plans!!!

    I would suggest going to Epcot before MK, Epcot is great when you're older, but will seem like a let down after MK for your 5 y.o. This may also solve your MK-on-Monday dilemma, too. Another idea is to let you 18 y.o. pick between Sea World and MGM. You'll probably have to split up at MGM...

    i am so discouraged!!!!

    I love my parents but travelling with them does add more stress. I was relieved when they decided not to come with us to WDW even though the free babysitting would have been nice. If they were going, I knew that the midday rest is as essential for them as it would have been for DS, and we...

    Stroller for Big Kids

    Hi! We're in the same boat. DS will be 4 when we go to WDW in May, but he is already over the 35 lb limit for our umbrella stroller, and I didn't want to spend the money for a stroller which has a weight limit of 40 lbs., knowing he can reach that weight by summer time. The problem is he...

    Do you get sick at Disney?

    Thanks for the good tips! I've been worrying about whether it's allergy time down in FL when we go in May because it sure will be pollen season in the Hudson Valley at that time of year. But, I just started thinking about being in a place where there will be thousands(?) of kids!! I will...

    OKW Studio

    Want to stick up for Maria a little; I think she meant "dangerous" in a facetious way....I can see why smileys are needed in postings, sometimes it's hard to tell how serious to take someone's comments. :D :D BTW, thanks for all the helpful hints about OKW (thanks, Doc, for the room config...

    Are there any wiggles attractions

    Wiggles were in NYC last year!!!!??? I just went to their website and was disappointed to see they didn't have any concert dates for the US this year ( yet, I hope). It's just so cute to see DS (3.5 y.o) clicking on the icons for each song at the website and trying to sing along (humming the...

    Is March really part of PEAK season?

    You're right! I had forgotten that college students are experts at travelling.

    Is March really part of PEAK season?

    Our niece, a college freshman in VA, has spring break the week of March 8th, but she's not going to WDW. How many college kids can afford to go to WDW or still vacation with their families? We have no experience with that... Hope your trip turn out super!

    Just back and used Fairy Godmothers

    Thanks for the helpful info. We're really looking forward to a grown-up meal and the possibility of sneaking in some "big people" rides! Having a real recommendation will help us worry less. We're going to stay at OKW, so thanks for the idea of putting DS in the laundry room (from the...

    Thanks, everyone, for the great tips and ideas! I'm really glad the last postings brought this thread up to the top! We're going in May '04, and these postings got me to get my notebook out to take notes! I just have one question for Lori (Lorix2): Where do you get the hearing...
