    Motorcycle Parking???

    It's in the very front. When you go through the gate into the parking lot they will direct you where to go. It's great to go on the motorcycle because you get front row parking!

    How long did you wait for Wishes at CG?

    Normally we make our ressies for 1 hour prior to the fireworks. If I can't get that then I try for right at the fireworks time. Actually I don't want to be seated to watch the fireworks. CG has a great room in the back called the "wine room". If you watch the fireworks while waiting to be...

    Emeril's lunch ?

    We've had lunch and dinner at Emeril's and I don't know that the lunch menu is really any cheaper. I think it offers a few different choices such as pizza and stuff that I don't remember the dinner menu offering. Our lunch with 2 adults and 2 kids was $100. Now my husband and I both enjoyed a...

    Totally random question about WISHES

    I was told at some point that Illuminations cost $50,000 a night. So $35,000 might be right for Wishes.

    Parking at swan or dolphin going to epcot

    You can park at the Boardwalk. We do this all the time when we go to Epcot for the afternoon. It's easier to escape at night through the back entrance than to fight the crowds through FW. Also, the prevents us from having to pay to park. If we go for the day, we park at the front. We live in...

    Anyone else going to Parade Filming Tomorrow?

    I'm going Sunday, the early morning call. There was one for afternoon too, so I imagine they are shooting all day on Sunday.

    MK on Sun. Dec 5 - christmas parade taping

    They are taping all day on Saturday and Sunday. We are going as extras for Sunday morning. But we could have chosen Sunday afternoon as well. It was pretty crowded last year. I would stay away from MK on those days if possible.

    360-degree Wishes... where it starts?

    We happened to be at California Grill last year for our anniversary on Dec. 18. This was the last night of MVMCP for the year. They shot off what the CM's called "perimeter fireworks". From California Grill, they were going off all around the restaurant. At the same time, Wishes was going on...

    Anybody get an AP rate for WL?

    Pretty much nothing available in deluxe from 10-13 thru 10-16. So I changed the dates to 10-10. I could then get $144 a night.

    Those who have moved to FL - How did you do it?

    We moved 2 years ago from Savannah, GA. Now we were only 4 hours away, so my husband could come down and interview without having to fly. But he sent out resume's to every heating and air company in the area(or the big ones) and got quite a few responses. He interviewed and I searched the...

    Whats the best Disney stuff to do not in the parks?

    I think everyone has covered all that we do, but I thought I would reply anyway. We live in Orlando and have found cheap/out of the park ways to Disney when we don't have passes. Downtown Disney/Both Marketplace and Westside Boardwalk -- the takeout Pizza window at Spoodles is great, we...

    Tower of Terror not so "Terrorfying"

    Tower of Terror is my favorite ride at Disney. I rode it for the first time last week since summer 2002. I thought it was much scarier now, than it used to be. The drops were not as good though. Maybe we were on the one without the big drop. But because they mix it up and show the people...

    Who is going to the parade taping on Saturday??

    We had a great time. Everyone at Disney was very curteous. They had drinks and snacks for all the extras. We stayed for our time slot, 7:30-11:30 and then left to enjoy the park. We were right up front on the curb and saw Jump 5, Clay Aiken, and Brother Bear. The park was busy, but we had a...

    Who is going to the parade taping on Saturday??

    Actually, we got an email from our den leader (boy scouts). The Boy Scouts of Florida or just Orlando, I don't know were invited. We have to meet at a certain turnstile at 7:30 and will be given bracelets. From there I don't know. I 'll let you know after Saturday. We've never done this...

    Who is going to the parade taping on Saturday??

    We just got an offer for our family to be extras in the parade. They said the schedule was from 7:30-11:30 and then we had the rest of the day to ourselves. We have somewhere to be by 5 pm. I thought this was a great opportunity and much fun. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Watching "wishes" outside the park

    So the beach at the Poly is out. I'm assuming there is no music there. How do you get to the observation area at GF/Narcooosee (sp?)? Do you have to have eaten dinner there?

    Watching "wishes" outside the park

    We are going down on Oct. 9 to see the new "Wishes" fireworks. We live in Orlando, but can't afford passes this year :( I would like to hear the story and music, along with the fireworks. But I'm not sure this is possible. We were going to sit on the beach at the Poly. I know no one has...
