    quietest place near magic kingdom

    Tom Sawyer Island. Take the raft over and go to the right. Where Aunt Polly's used to be is a wooden deck, roofed over, with rocking chairs. You can watch the coming and going of thE steamboat and see Liberty Square and Frontierland. My DS and I relaxed there our last trip. Even though we...

    Canadian Buffoon's Hi Low Vacation - South Central Musings

    Just got here...just before you fly back from part I of your trips. Looking forward to hearing all about them! I'd add more, but currently in mourning since my football team lost :sad:

    Double check Disney Quest. I know they were planning on closing it, but the deal for the NBA place fell through. Last I heard, it was still open?

    Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

    Sounds like we do/did something similar. I worked for an airline years ago, and I was in the Operations department. We basically handled it all - the pilots, getting the planes fueled, dealt with ATC if needed. There were times I was bored, times I was going nuts. Luckily, we weren't 24/7...

    Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

    Sold my mom's house so using that for tuition, and can live on one salary. Hard to get motivated to look for work since they cut off unemployment (only get 6 months by law) and aren't breathing down my neck. Keeping my eye on discounts. But everything at this point is way over the top...

    Hershey Park crowds

    just wondering if anybody here has experience with Hershey? I have been there many times, but never in August. Thinking of going sometime in the next two weeks, and wondering if there are any locals who know which is the best week? It would be mid-week, not on the weekend, and we aren't doing...

    wait times seem low today

    Wait times look low compared to what I have seem in past years. It is very often filled to capacity especially on the fourth. I have heard people mentioning crowds seem a little lower this year, but it does not look like a 10 day. Maybe it'll pick up late in the day as people come in closer...

    I'm in tears! Just needed to vent/cry a little...

    A friend by as a daughter who wasn't interested in the larger sororities - she felt they weren't her style. She pledged with a nin-national one that was on campus. It was a much less stressful rush, and the sorority seemed a little more laid back than the national ones.

    wearing a backpack or handbag in the park

    That center thing on Kali never kept my things dry. I recently heard they removed it but haven't been back to check. For that, I would use the nearby lockers.

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Pretty tight space though - you would brush into it going in and out - would it by chance hang over the clothes rod where the hangers go? I think it was pretty long, although a little lower than a door.

    1985 prices

    DH and I are having a disagreement. We went to the parks with complimentary tickets in October of 1985. Liked it so much, we came back for two more days. He claims that cost almost $100 for the two of us - trading the old ticket in and getting a pass for three days. I only remember about $30...

    Fastpass question

    Problem with single rider on TT, it has the potential to have a wait just as long as the SB line. We went in the SB line on another trip (we love this ride), and it took every bit as long as the SB. Just as we were getting ready to go inside, there was a sign posted in the door that single...

    Help! Our Pixie Dust Dreams are fading!

    We are taking a break. We too have gone many times since 2006. Now our boy is in college, so we figure we will wait a few years and then go again (I still have some old NE tickets I need to use up!). We will probably stay at SOG or a moderate resort, eat less in the park and spend less on...

    Fastpass question

    I was able to ride RnR twice with very short waits during SB by hitting it at rope drop, and then used the FP for TSMM. That would work better than trying to schedule a day of FP for either of those rides.
