    First cruise, a few questions

    My wife and I have just booked a cruise for the beginning of November (ya, short notice, but we're pretty happy with the arrangements). We're doing the 3-day cruise on the Wonder after spending a week at the Boardwalk Villas. We were asigned cabin# 5128 (aft, port side, 4 doors from the...

    Lagoon Water

    The amoeba lives in the gunk at the bottom of the lake to a max depth of around 5 feet from what I understand. The problem in shallow water is that people stir up the bottom and this gives the amoeba a chance to swim around and get into your system. Out in the middle of the lake there isn't...

    Saw Cirque du Soliel!

    We've seen La Nouba 3 times so far. Great show! We're going to skip it this time, but only because we're spending money on some of the tours. I've also seen O and Mystere in Vegas... Both great, but I liked O better. We've seen the touring shows of Drallion, Varakei and Quidam - all...

    Clueless guest comments at WDW

    Even those of us who prepare are prone to 'moments'. :D On our honeymoon we stayed at Poly. It took until near the end of the week for us to realize we could walk to the TTC faster than the monorail could take us!

    Do you have to pick up La Nouba tickets one hour early?

    Also, any tickets not picked up will be re-sold.

    BCV availability

    Interesting... We are not DVC members but we're staying 8 nights in a 1br at BCV in mid-November. There was plenty of availability and we got the fall dream-maker discount without difficulty. Maybe the studios are more in demand?

    How long of a walk....at OKW?

    I'd say 15-20 minutes. You can't really cut across the golf course, so you've got to walk all the way down Old Turtle Pond Rd. and up Peninsular Rd. We were in building 45 and it was between 5-10 minutes to the Hospitality house, depending on how slow we took it. If you have a car you would...

    Downtown Disney Restaurants in December....

    All I know of for sure is that Rainforest Cafe' does some decoration. Last december all the gorillas had Santa hats on.

    shipping purchases from resorts?

    Some stores will ship your purchases directly as well. (The Art of Disney store and some of the World Showcase stores come immediately to mind). The bigger and more expensive it is, the higher the chance they will ship it for you.

    Dream Maker Extras

    The luggage tags are mailed to you along with your final paperwork (40 or so days before your vacation). You get the pins/lanyards at the gift shop at your resort. If I remember correctly, it's just recorded on your room key/card that you've used that feature.

    Epcot Toy Trains?

    Hopefully it is just a rehab. It wasn't running back in Dec. 03 either.

    Hotel Rehabs???

    I don't know if there's a specific list anywhere or not... I know Poly was just through a fairly major rehab. Contemporary rooms were redone starting somewhere around 98 or 99. Dixie Landings was completely redone as POR in the past year or so. The biggest is the Disney Institute which is...

    Kudos to Quicksilver

    Sedan (Towncar or Caddie), Limo or Van. It's a private service, so your group (1 person or a whole group) would be the only ones in the vehicle. Details at www.quicksilver-tours.com

    MEARS - Stay away from it !

    Mears has gotten worse and worse over the years. The first few times down we had wonderful drivers, decently fast service (even if we stopped at 4 or 5 places) and they were generally on time. Not so anymore. We waited at MCO for over 90 minutes for our van to OKW last December. Our return...

    Freaky experience

    Probably a higher chance of this happening right now - some of the operators aren't working as they're home dealing with hurricane stuff. Fewer operators means (along with longer waits) more of a chance of speaking to the same one again.

    Anyone EVER able to check reservation online?

    I booked on the phone to CRO while using the webpage as a planning tool (I'm still a little freaked over booking an expensive vacation online) and I was able to view my reservations for a while. I changed to the fall dreammaker package over the phone, and ever since I have been unable to see my...

    Vero Beach Resort

    I've heard the beaches in that area took a beating, but nothing specific about the resort itself. I know it is still closed and is expected to reopen to guests on Friday.

    YC or BC?

    There was JUST a special about YC/BC on the Travel Channel. The show itself is called Great Hotels and they featured both. If you can, see if they are playing repeats of it (if you get the Travel Channel). YC definitely looks more masculine to me as well. I don't like the room decor as...

    What's the ride?...

    It should still be running. The "Behind the Seeds" walking tour has been temporarily stopped due to construction of Soarin'.
