    Another rainy trip report

    Day three: Thursday. We have gone to the World the week before Memorial Day three times before so we knew that it was now or never for the Magic Kingdom. The weekend crowds are huge. It happened to be EMH so we put in for an early wake up call from Mickey. The boys used to love waking up to...

    Another rainy trip report

    At this point the weather report was not improving. Quite the contrary, this was just about the time that the news transitioned from "Sorry tourists but we have been having a drought and we need the rain." to "We are experiencing a unique event with terrible flooding." At least it wasn't...

    Another rainy trip report

    Sooo... We decicided (based in part on responses from the Dis) that the studios would be a good park in the rain. We were a little tired from traveling late so we decided to wake up without an alarm and therefore, missed the rope drop. Its a nice boat ride from YC but it does stop at the...

    I have ever seen a park as crowded as the studios were on Sunday. There was a 25 minute wait for Toy Story Mania Fastpass distribution. Yes you read that right. You had to wait 25 minutes just to get a fastpass for a time 5 hours later. We left the park at 12 when there were 75 minute waits...

    Another rainy trip report

    I'll try to get around to pics. We really didn't take too many. Us in ponchos wasn't a look we wanted to record but here goes. We originally were going to go for a shorter stay but got sucked into 4/3. The boys had off from school Thursday and Friday so against our better judgement we took...

    The New 2008 Beach Club and Yacht Club FAQs thread

    The room we had was in OK shape although we wished there was a fan in the bathroom and the TV was a bit of a dinosaur. Overall we reelly preferred the atmosphere at YC. I've stayed at disney resorts that were undergoing rehab. If I hadn't read about it online, I wouldn't have known it was...

    How do you get rid of gas?

    I don't wnat to be an alarmist but if you are not eating one week post op (whatever the operation was) you should see your doctor. You need to have your abdomen examined to make sure you don't have an intestinal obstruction.

    OK, what is your 2nd choice epcot dining?

    You asked for second choice and I keep offering more. I guess my point is that they are all good but one more thought. I once made ADR at Rose and Crown for 7:45. I arrived a little earlty and asked for a waterside table. I was told that the wait might be a littlr longer. It was but I was...

    I agree. I've never met a CM who didn't try to accomodate.

    Argh, which one is must do and live without?

    I would say the breakfast choice depends on your plans for the rest of the day: MK or Epcot? I'm a big fan of Rose and Crown. If you time the ADR right you can tell the hostess that you are willing to wait for the next available waterside table. There is no better view of Illuminations...

    The New 2008 Beach Club and Yacht Club FAQs thread

    They are essentially one resort. The theming of the yacht club is slightly more serious. My DW called it "more elegant" so we stayed there. We were far away from the Marketplace. We bought refillable mugs but often couldn't use them unless we walked all the way over to the Marketplace in BC...

    Sunscreen on airlines

    The spray can can actually be tough on the skin when used too much. Had to bring my son to the dermatologist last summer for eczema. She reccomended stopping the spray and the skin cleared up.

    Changing room reservations

    I would ask for a daybed. Not all rooms have them but with one you will sleep 5 comfortably.

    What Are You Reading Right Now?

    I also listen to books on CD in my car. Right now I am finishing Fabric of the cosmos by Brian Greene and Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban when the kids are in the car. We've listened to all seven several times. I reccomend it to anyone with kids. Jim Dale reads the US version (someone else...

    OK, what is your 2nd choice epcot dining?

    Coral Reef had fantastic food. If you don't have kids I suggest later ADR's. Throw in another vote for Biergarten too. Good show, good food, good beer, not hard to get a table so you can put it at the top of the "if all else fails" list.

    How do you get rid of gas?

    A week seems like a long time. Are you passing gas? Stool? are you eating? Is the pain localized? How do you feel otherwise?

    The New 2008 Beach Club and Yacht Club FAQs thread

    Just came back also. we had a very good experince at Hanna's on both Saturday and Sunday. We were given pagers and our food came out about 10 minutes later. I much prefer waiting for a freshly cooked burger and fries than getting quick service of food that's been sitting under a heat lamp...

    It could be new policy because every time we went in all week they only asked for one card. Early in the week I assumed that it just wasn't crowded. (The weather was pretty crappy) But by Sunday it was very crowded, no chairs, even on the beach no tubes and 30 minute lines at Huricane Hannah's.
