    Saved 15% off my one nights stay at RPR

    Woo Hoo Indeed!!! Thank you very much for sharing. I saw your post 15 minutes before midnight and I jumped on the deal through Travelocity. I've known which dates we needed for some time, but I've been dragging my feet looking for a deal. The code you shared basically saved me $100...

    What Ride Used to Scare You When You Were Younger?

    When I was very very young, I remember crying my eyes out as my older brother dragged me through the line onto Blue Streak at Cedar Point in OH. I kept my head down and eyes closed the whole them - then predictably bounced out and wanted to do it again as soon as it was over. That was my first...

    This is why Peter Pan's Flight is so popular

    Our family loves the Peter Pan ride. I remember favorite Disney rides came up as a topic of conversation on one of the first dates with a girl I went out with over 20 years ago. We both had PP, PotC, & Splash Mountain as our favorites from trips with our individual families as children. That...

    Water Parks - Avoid or take advantage of Extra Magic Hours?

    Thanks for the tips! Good points about both parks getting to capacity, so I might as well go to the one that I can get in an hour earlier. The kids were pulling for TL because they love the wave pool and we've been to BB more recently. They'll still have fun though, this will only be our 2nd...

    Embarrassed to admit this!!!

    We have done the figment ride every time we go to Epcot. Though I agree, it's not the best ride ever it is still fun and worth a few minutes. There is never a line, it's air-conditioned, and is something that Epcot is short on - A Ride! Especially a ride that small kids can do. They need...

    Water Parks - Avoid or take advantage of Extra Magic Hours?

    I'd like opinions on this topic - is it better to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours at the water parts or to avoid the early opening park on that day? We are in Orlando this week (moving from Nick Suites Resort to AKL tomorrow). We've tagged Thursday as our day to do a water park...

    park crowds and weather now

    I think it has rained for at least part of every day all week (arrived Fri 6/24). Even when it's not raining on top of you, it is common to see a dark cloud in the distance raining on someone else. It has rained pretty hard some times. Mid-afternoon thunderstorms are common this time of...

    Parks or Cruise?

    I would vote for the cruise, especially since you have the option of doing at least one day in a park. One reason I would pick another cruise over a week at WDW is just because I've still cruised less than I've been to the parks. We did the cruise/Orlando quicky during election week last...

    Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon questions

    I always wear watershoes to waterparks. My kids never do, even though we've bought them decent ones, they just prefer barefeet. Their feet are no doubt tougher than mine and they are carrying a lot less weight. I was at Blizzard Beach yesterday an I would estimate about 35% of people had...

    Is all day dining deal worth the $?

    I noticed on the Sea World Website that you can buy the All Day Dining Plan ahead of time. I know you get big discounts on tickets if you pre-buy them, but I don't see and advantage to getting it ahead of time. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    Typhoon Lagoon on BB early entry day???

    I see that there are early Extra Magic hours at Blizzard Beach every Thursday this month. That seems like it would be a good day to Typhoon Lagoon if all Disney Resort guest interested in doing a waterpark that day choose BB. We are going to do one or the other one day this week. Should we...

    The LAST in the park resort you would stay at is?

    My last choice would be any of the All-Stars. There are too many nicer off-site places that you can get for the price of the values. If I was that concerned about the cost, I would wait for a sweet discount or stay offsite. The Values do have there place though... My sister has stayed...

    what kind of a teacher must you be to get discount at Swan?

    My wife is a teacher and we got the discount. After we checked in and got to our room I realized that no one ever asked to see any type of verification. We had it, but they didn't ask and we didn't think about it. We loved the Swan by the way - super comfy beds!

    Help Me Please!!

    POR - AB section is the most simple option as stated above. It is by no means a consulation prize, POR is really nice. It's a beautiful resort with a really nice feature pool, huge food court, and boat transportation to Downtown Disney. Another slightly more complicated option would be...

    Which hotel to stay at for our January 2010 Vacation?

    Not knowing your family, I voted for the one I would want to stay in the most - the Poly. Your choices really covered the whole spectrum. I would try narrowing it down to a category, like the Moderates for example, then choosing between them. You pitted 2 deluxes vs. mod. vs. value...

    Chef Mickeys or Crystal Palace?

    We've done Chef Mickey's many times, and Crystal Palace once. I guess that's my answer. I did enjoy CP though - we were there near closing time (seated just after Wishes) so we felt like we had the Characters to ourselves. They even did a group photo with all of them together and the...

    New Country in EPCOT

    I like the Egypt & Australia ideas the best so far, both are exotic and could have enough wow to get people excited. Australia could have a Finding Nemo tie in (I know they've already got that at LS) but it would be cool to have a simulation ride where Bruce the shark chases you around the...

    Aquatica vs. BB / TL ???

    We'll be at the AKL the week after next and plan to do a water park on one of the weekdays. We will not have water park and more tickets this time, so really we are free to try one of the off-site waterparks since I'll be paying out of pocket for whatever we choose. We've been to Blizzard...
