    Bad Night at Cypress Point

    We stayed at CP not GV last summer. I'm not sure why you are thinking CPGV is closer to Disney as they are on the same property and you have to exit the same drive to go to Disney. Granted, they are both in my opinion VERY CLOSE to Disney but I wouldn't say one is closer. Just thought I would...

    How are crowds in April? Does fastpass work?

    We went last August which is supposed to be one of the busiest times and I don't remember ever waiting that long in line using Fastpass!

    Is there a Steak and Shake near Cypress Point?

    Bearzabout is correct about Steak n Shake, it's in the same shopping center as NY China Buffet and I think Tony Roma's is in the same center as well. I don't remember about the one on 192 by Wal-Mart but let me just say this... STAY AWAY FROM 192 BY WAL-MART !! LOL. There's a grocery store...

    Cypress Point Resort bathrooms?

    We stayed at CP (not Grand Villas) back in July in a 2 bedroom. It's the master bath in the Master Bedroom Suite that people are referring to as having no privacy. I had a picture of it somewhere but as usual can't find it now. The guest bath has a door that closes and locks. The Master bath...

    I need help... Can't believe I forgot!

    We went to WDW in August. This was our first family vacation EVER and man was it the Biggie! Well, can you believe I forgot to purchase an ornament for our Christmas tree??? I like to buy an ornament each year to put on our tree commerating something we've done that year. I know I...

    Do you really save at Costco??

    But I don't just buy everything in sight and pretty much have a certain list of things that are COSTCO items. For instance I buy a 700 ct pkg of Splenda for $12.35. The last time I checked at the grocery store a 200 ct pk was nearly $5.00 so that is a bargain. Eggs and milk are cheap too as...

    Beach

    Just wanted to add that I took this person's recommendation (as well as the recommendation from Unofficial Guide to Florida for Kids) and we chose PlayaLinda. It was a great experience. Definately no development so if you want people and development go elsewhere. If you are like me and...

    The ever elusive 3 day park hopper

    On mousesavers site, go to Walt Disney World, then Tickets & Passes then click on Special tickets and passes not sold at the gates, then jump to Convention Tickets. That pretty much sums it up. If you use the link you can put your last name (or any other word for that matter) as your Group...

    2 Day Park Hopper Pass for Conventions Only?

    And was NEVER asked for proof of anything. Simply put your last name in the Group name field and you are allowed to purchase. Select "other" if you aren't staying on Disney Property. It's that simple. They are identical to any other park hopper except they expire in 10 days or at December...

    Monorail experience

    Just want to remind everyone to ALWAYS ask if you can ride up front with the pilot. Out of 4 trips to MK (2 in; 2 out) we asked and were allowed up front on 3 of them, I didn't think to ask the first time. DS5, DS17 and DH (aka scrooge) all really enjoyed it and were very impressed by the fact...

    Hotel Royal Plaza and Holiday Inn - Never again!

    Maybe I'm confused, I thought Hotel Royal Plaza was the one that left you without a room AFTER you had already paid for one and they were the ones to get you a room at a less than equal hotel (Holiday Inn). I would think they should be trying to make amends. JMHO

    boggy creek????????

    I would say it depends on the child. We had DS 17 and DS 5 with us. DS 17 really enjoyed but DS 5 was in a "mood" that day anyway. The boat is kinda loud and they give you "headset" ear protection and DS 5 doesn't care for those so DS 17 ended up holding his hands over his brother's ears for...

    Cypress Pointe photos from our last trip

    I'm not sure what kind of "digs" you're looking for but several years ago I stayed in a place called Five Flags Inn. It is right on the beach not the Ritz but it was more than decent and the price wasn't bad either. Go to www.fiveflagsinn.com to check it out. BTW 2minnies, you aren't...

    Strange security check at Epcot

    At times I was checked thoroughly and others not. At Epcot they glanced through my backpack but didn't even look at my fanny pack. At MK the guard asked me to open the canister of baby wipes so he could look inside it and I did, no problem but I thought it was odd that I also had two Brita...

    boggy creek????????

    DH so hard to please and this was probably the part of the trip that he enjoyed most. I think they have two locations and we went to the one on Boggy Creek Road, they have a location south of town too. We went about 1:30 Pm and I was afraid we wouldn't see any gators because I had heard...

    a four day trip report.. some grievances.. is Disney losing its Magic?

    Thanks for clarifying that Sammy! Just wanted to mention that we didn't even get to the "scary" parts, the 3D effects just immediately freaked him out :) I also wanted to mention that I have been planning this trip since December either on these boards, all ears, mousesavers or two books...

    Playalinda Beach.... What's the deal?

    When we arrived at the guard post there was a sign that said "Sea Lice and Sea Needles are bad today and may cause a rash" I don't know what either are but I can only assume what we encountered were Sea Needles because the looked like broken glass needles and were just everywhere in the...
