We've traveled the AT 3 times now. We've always done coach, last time home with snowbirds and will never do that again! I was talking to a gentleman in the lounge and he had a roomette. He said he couldn't imagine anyone who was claustrophobic being able to do manage it. So for those who...

I know this is highly touted for college students but we never used it. Most of the stuff he needed for school we ordered and had shipped for free from other online stores before he moved in. His books were ordered from other bookrenters, or the college bookstore, and I paid to ship some...

For the OP, another perspective. We just retuned from Universal. May 9th to 13th. I had purchased the buy 2 day get 3rd free, park hopper for 3 of us. I got them before the prices went up. We spent about 3 to 4 hours per day in the parks, saw everything we wanted, teens rode favorites a...

Just returned so I thought I would give an update on our trip, though this thread does seem to get lost on this site, so don't know how many see it if not specifically looking for it. But here goes. We left on Friday, May 13th and most of the previous week, the train seemed to be running...

We were there last week, and we liked it a lot. We upgraded for $20/night to a family suite. It was in Castaway opposite Sapphire Falls. There with 2 teens and they loved the extra room as did I. Thought the theming was really cool, great pool areas, buses were fantastic. We never had to...

Yes, I saw that too. Actually, I just went in and did the status link you provided and went back as far as the calendar would allow. Only a weeks worth, but still a good indication of how things have been running. One bad day where train was almost 4 hours late. Hoping ours won't be like...

Thanks for that link, that is specifically what I was looking for to check on departure day. However, just recently used a link, I thought I saw in this thread, where you can pull up a list of dates and times for the status over a period of time. Just can't find it anywhere.

I've tried searching the web and this thread but can't find what I'm looking for. I am looking for 2 things. One is how do I know if the auto train is scheduled to be on time the day we leave, which will be end of this week. Also, I know there was a site where I could see all the arrivals...

Thanks all. Just arrived and upgraded from standard room to the one w/ the kitchenette. Across from construction, but so nice to have so much room. :teeth: One more question? If it is early entry for IOA all week, is it best to go there for most of the day or head over to to US ASAP? I...

Last time we had kids now we have teens. They are into the thrill rides now so plan on letting them go off, I will be more leisurely and probably get stuck holding everything. Is it worth taking water bottles into the parks? If so, can we refill them and where do you do that? Should we take...

Can an adult order off the kid's menus at the CS restaurants? My daughter is terrible for ordering food and not eating it, we usually take it home with us but obviously won't be doing that at the parks.

Thanks all.

Currently at Pop Century. It's been years since we been to WDW and I had forgotten how much planning was needed! I am feeling overwhelmed and my kids, teens, are already annoyed. Reading this thread is just getting me more confused. Pop has bus transportation only. I know we can get to...

We are all very tired from a very long trip to FL. Decided to do a quick trip after moving DS out of college. Well, we are all to exhausted to head to a park on Sunday as planned. Yet, I don't want to end up just sitting at the resort, Pop Century, all day. Any suggestions on what we...

Question on parking. From another thread, it appears the parking area near the area we are staying, standard rooms, requires valet parking, due to construction? How does that work? and is it already included in the parking fee?

Just wondering if anyone has taken the Auto Train North from Sanford recently? We will be heading to FL in a week or so and coming back mid May, so I was just trying to get an idea on how crowded it has been lately.

Oh, I'm sorry, I never mentioned the hotel. We are staying at Cabana Bay. We are all about the lowest cost. Do the standard rooms have a fridge? Also, is there a quick link to lower cost restaurants in that area?

We will be going to US and only booked a standard room. I thought there was a mini fridge, is that correct? If we upgraded to the suites they come w/ a microwave as well. Is it worth it just for that? Just to have other options than eating out all the time? In the past we've always stayed...

Thanks all, just a few clarifications and another question or two? OK, so we can spread out if there is room. We do coach and prefer upper level. Don't know if it will be crowded or not in mid May. (I did search this forum but couldn't really find info on that.) If we want snacks/drinks...

Doesn't seem to be an active thread, and awfully hard to find! Looking back through the thread and see things have changed quite a bit since we took AT 6 years ago. Just looking for some updating if anyone would like to contribute. We are picking DS up from college in the south, so driving...
