Hi Sorry to jump in here, but I just noticed that your dates for Disney this year are the same as ours from last year!! We took our kids 11, 13 and 16(thankfully too grown up to want to bedshare!) and they had a great time :dance3: (even the very cool 16 y/o boy) I hope your visit is...

We were there for 5 nights Nov '05 and the fireworks were cancelled 4 out of the 5 nights!! The high Santa Ana winds are the real problem, we were told. At least we got to see them once :cool1: :cool1:

Harmony, I understand entirely where you are coming from!!! I flew last year from Australia with my 2 daughters and I was really anxious about how I would find my way around LAX. We also ended up flying one day earlier than planned (last minute change due to flying standby) and had no...

Hi JanetRose, We were there last year from 15th -20th November. The only day that was really crowded was the 20th, which was a Saturday. The other days were fantastic with totally managable crowds, even though crowds were apparently up due to the 50th. I think this is a great time...

We used it last year for our first ever trip and found it fabulous. It made a big difference to how we used our time. But by far the biggest help was knowing that fast passes do not expire during the day. We found no problem in using them at night when they had officially passed their return...

Matterhorn bobsleds was our familes first ride and is one of our favourites! :thumbsup2

hi Judy, I think you definatley saw the very best we have to offer! I love my hometown of Sydney, but if I had to live anywhere else it would be in Queensland! (For those who don't know Brisbane and Port Douglas are in the state of Queensland). :love:

Thats great Judy! I hope you had a wonderful time. Where abouts did you go? (We are in the south of Sydney) I'll bet you have some fantastisc family memories. :grouphug:

We took our kids 11 and 13, out of school for 3 weeks at the end of last year to visit your beautiful country. Our school system is obviously very different to the US or the UK! We don't have to ask permission and the schools do not gain or loose "credits" or anything if the kids are away...

I was very chicken too, but did manage to give it a go. :cool1: It is really not that bad!! One tip I would give you though is to sit at the back. ;) There are 3 rows of seating, just like in a cinema. I felt safer in the back row than I am sure I would have in the front!! Good luck :wave2:

We stayed at HJ's in November and loved it. Our family of 5 had plenty of room and the beds were really comfy. We went into the parks for 4 1/2 days and took our trusty UnofficialGuide with us. We followed their guides for 2 days, improvising when we needed to. It was a good help. The best...

We went in November 2005 and stayed in a 'home office' room in building 2 at Howard Johnson's. It was a corner room and therefore an unusual shape, but that made it bigger than normal. It also had a microwave and trailmix and bottled water were left by housekeeping every day. We are a family...

We did 4 1/2 days in November, with only one day really crowded. My kids are 11, 13 and 15 and we all agreed that we could have easily had another day or 2!! We didn't "do it all", but did do our favourites many times. I guess it all depends on what you are wanting out of your visit. We...

Thats the thing with the hotel....it is not a 4 or 5 star luxury hotel. I think because it gets such good reviews, people expect it to be more than it is. I also think that some of the smaller buildings (3,4,5,&6)looked older than building 2, which was really nice. My only complaint would...

We stayed at HoJo's in buliding 2 in a home office room (slightly bigger room, microwave-great for 5 of us) from 15th November for 5 nights. It was the least expensive hotel we had during our 3 1/2 week vacation, and the most comfortable. We just loved it! Clean, comfy-our beds were superb...

Great photo's and entertaining captions!! I just love seeing the park from other peoples perspective! :rotfl2: Thanks

Hi, We are at DL at the moment (still can't quite belive it!!!) and even though crowds are pretty low in the morning, we are still getting a fast pass early and then we keep getting them as soon as the return window opens. Some CM are telling us that we don't need one, but we get them anyway...

:teeth: The fireworks were on tonight. They were delayed by about 10-20mins, but the happened! :cool1: They were brilliant, but you could tell that it was windy way up. We were dog tired, but really enjoyed them.

I tend to agree, although I booked direct with the hotel due to recommendations from DISboards and tripadvisor.com! The crowds are great. We have seen a few wait times of 45 mins mid arfternoon, but then we could walk around the corner and get straight on something else. Mostly wait times are...

Hi All, We have just finished our 2nd day at DL and are having a ball. It is much more family friendly than I expected and the rides are beautiful. The crowds are great, wait times are minimal 0-20mins at most (most 10 mins). The only downer is that due to the wind (which was nothing...
