    AK-Flame Tree BBQ or Rainforest Cafe?

    I just returned two days ago from a five day visit to WDW. My most disappointing (and over priced ) meal was at AK Rainforest Cafe. My crabcake was very small and the clam chowder tasted like Campbells- this plus ice tea added up to around $22.00 - on top of that, it was very crowded and I...

    CSR - a WOW upgrade!

    I just returned on Monday from five days at WDW. I had a wonderful stay at CSR - When I arrived I mentioned my requests to the CM - she stated that a room was ready in Cabanas 8A - so far so good I thought - this was one of my requests. Imagine my surprise to find my room on the second floor...

    A friend just got back last Friday and she said the crowds were getting larger day by day. I will be down next week too - as will lots of other people who are posting on these boards. The upside is the weather looks pretty good! Gailelle

    Okay, early planner, lol... Coral Reef vs Le Cellier for CP dinner.......

    Friends of mine just returned two days ago from WDW. They were unimpressed with Coral Reef and did not think the food warranted the high prices. What places did they like? They raved about Brown Derby! Gailelle

    Tell me about your Prime Time and Le Cellier experiences

    I had lunch at Prime time last year. It was lots of fun - the waitress and I kidded the couple next to me who were hiding their green beans under mashed potatoes. I was dining solo and it was a fun way to meet other people. I thought the food was fine - had a turkey sandwhich and maybe a...

    We have made a 5:30 PS reservation for Rainforest Cafe - AK. Will it be possible for us to make Illuminiations at Epcot that same evening? It sounds like there should be plenty of time, but I understand RF Cafe waiting times and service can be slow. Thanks in advance for any opinions. gailelle

    Heads Up on MK March Hours Changes

    Does that mean they anticipate large crowds? I guess that is good news (longer hours) bad news(perhaps more people) for those of us who are there during this time! Gail

Do buses run early in the morning ( 7:30 or so) from the parks as part of their route? Perhaps...
