My DD had just turned two, and I could not have made it without the harness. We took both the wrist band and the harness. They were life savers. She did ride in the stroller most of the time, but a few times she refused. I was so glad that we had the harness. She would not listen to my...

We usually stay 9 or 10 nights. One time we reserved fewer nights, and I ended up adding a few nights to our reservation while we were there. Anything less than 9 nights and I do not feel as though I have had time to enjoy the parks and the resort.

Hello! I have a question and need the advice of some experienced Contemporary Resort aficionados. As a child, my family always opted to stay in the Contemporary Tower with the Bay Lake view. We always had a room on the 10th or 11th floor. My family said they chose this location, because it...

I would definitely do the Poly. I enjoy the dining plan, but I do not save money with it. DH and I eat a lot! And we can still share a fast food meal at any Disney eatery and feel full. So no savings there! As for the character meals, the dining plan does not save you money on...

Hello! For what it is worth, I have spent a week-long vacation at the Caribbean Beach Resort in 2003 and one night at Coronado Springs in 2006 and been disappointed both times. The moderates are not the same as the Deluxe Resorts. We are on a budget this summer too, and I am considering...

I have been reading in a variety of places (and heard from a CM, too) that POFQ rooms are being refurbed, and that is not on that list either. So I at least think there is hope. Especially since it has been a while, and I have heard that they are due for a refurb.

I believe most of the rooms that overlook the interior lobby would be a standard or woods view. We asked for a Courtyard View (looking out over the swimming pool) in August 2006, and I really wanted to have a view of the interior lobby, too. From what I gather, most Courtyard View rooms do...

I have never posted in the Podcast before, but I happened upon your thread and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your family. It must be incredibly difficult to lose your mother and your grandson in the same month, so my heart goes out to your MIL. Your family will be in my...

Did it seem like the rooms needed to be refurbished? Worn carpet or chairs? Etc. Thanks for any info!

Hello! I called to make room reservations at POFQ for late summer 2008. The CM said all of the rooms at POFQ will be finished with their refurbs by then, and it should look very nice. She stressed a couple of times how nice the room would look, so I know that I heard her correctly. Has...

My sister stayed in my room August 2006 and she has a different last name. I too have been waiting for a code. I cannot imagine that would be the cause of not receiving a code, but it certainly is interesting....

Last week, I read this thread here on the disboards. It made me laugh and cry--it's about a princess trip for a mom and her four year old daughter. It's the most beautiful trip report I have read in a long time. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1667773 My DH is rather a...

Both of those resorts are Deluxe, but they are much less expensive than the Polynesian or Contemporary. I do have to brace myself whenever I stay at a Moderate. In 2003, my room at CBR was a bit of a shock. I had always stayed Deluxe. The room at the CBR was like staying at a Best Western...

I am a teacher, too. My DD will be 4 this summer, and it will probably be the two of us. In August 2006, we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, and I swear it was 10 degrees cooler there than anywhere else in the World (probably because of all the trees). It was hot, though. I can remember...

I imagine it will be next on the list, though!

I live South of the James, too. I sure do hope they include us soon!

Hello! I received a Pluto postcard with a PIN late last summer, but I wasn't able to use it. Now that I am ready to plan a trip (and needing to save money), NADA! I am wondering if those of you who have received the 40% off postcard or 40% off e-mail (or called and had a PIN attached to...

the CM said, "Oh, that's always booked. We do not have any availability." I asked her to double check for me and she pulled out a three-ring binder. They did have one spot open during our stay (on the morning we were checking out). We took it! It was wonderful. I purposely made my hotel...

I enjoyed your trip report so much. I shared the link with family and friends. I cried a few tears, too. I am so happy for you that you got to experience this trip with your little girl. Count me in with the others when I say I loved the video, too. I purchased Meet the Robinsons last...

I really like the free dining, too. But it isn't the same value without the gratuity included. I would split my stay. You could always take advantage of the free dining for just half your stay (thus, only buying park admission for one day). Or you could purchase the no expiration...
