My Dad is sponsoring our family from Aug 22nd through 28th. I can't believe how close it's getting! :cool1: We should all meet up at the pool one afternoon for an ice cold Shades of Green!

I've been several different times of the year, but really enjoyed a May trip during the Flower and Garden Show. Epcot was so beautiful - even more so than it normally is. The weather was nice and the fireworks, etc were at reasonable hours that still allow you to be up early the next morning.

I was a Deluxe only girl until I tried out the French Quarter. I've stayed there with my ex-husband, with my best girlfriend, and with my Mom, aunt and grandmother. Three very different groups, but we all enjoyed the resort. The pool isn't as fancy as some of the other mods, but the resort is...

Yikes! I haven't used TGM in a few years, but recently recommended the site to friend. I just checked it out and the info is so outdated! He still calls Hollywood Studios D-MGM and the touring plans for it don't include Toy Story Midway Mania. Hopefully I can still get a refund and catch my...

I haven't stayed at the Dolphin, but spent a week at the Swan in 2003. Since then I have stayed at POFQ 3 times with 3 very different groups of people. I think both are great choices, but for me things are all about the details and POFQ actually comes out on top. Here's why: Swolphin: The...

How many days do you have for Disney/Sea World? Maybe it would be helpful to look at the websites for Sea World, MK, and AK with your daughter and talk about what she can do in each park. Her reactions to what she learns about each park may help you decide where to focus your time. Then she can...

I'd been to WDW dozens of times before I tried TGM and I was still impressed with how helpful his info is. There are some great charts and tips that can really maximize your riding time and minimize your waiting time. I'm not much into waiting, so I love learning to be in the right place at the...

I went last year for the first time and found only a few things to be unique to the party. There are a few shows that I believe (others may correct me) are performed only at MVMCP. You really could go from one show to another and see the parades and do little else while still completely filling...

Before my most recent trip to WDW, I downloaded tons of Disney images and made them into temporary tattoos to hand out to kids during the trip. The kids loved them and it was nice to be able to spread a little pixiedust! I'd like to make some dog themed temporary tattoos to give out (free) at...

Howdy Friends, A friend asked for planning advice for 2 days in WDW. She's getting one of those hotel deals in exchange for listening to a time share speel, but the date she agreed to is Aug 9. Their plan is to drive from South Carolina on Thurs Aug 8 and go to DTD for the afternoon/evening...

The decorations are mostly up even as early as mid-Nov. I went for a short trip Nov 10-14, 2007 and the Castle Dream Lights were up and the MVMCP was running, Osborne Family Lights were running, most of the decorations were up at the resorts and parks, too. Neither the story telling in the World...

I agree - I've even been able to squeeze in 3 rides before 9 IF: 1) Arrive early enough to be near the rope for rope drop, head toward the right hand side of the crowd to gain a little ground taking the corner onto Sunset Blvd. 2) RnR first: get FP for later and then ride. Save a few minutes...

I'm with disneyfan61 - I've read in several places not to fax anymore. Phone calls are better.

Last Nov I was at WDW with my mom, my grandmother, and my aunt - 4 grown women walking around in tiaras I made as a surprise for everyone! Inspired by this thread, I took lots of little things to hand out to kids during the trip. I found free clip art images of princesses and characters, crammed...

If you make it to rope drop each morning, you can squeeze in all 4 parks in 3.5 days. Did you get the planning DVD from Disney? If so, watch it with your girls to see what cranks their tractors and plan accordingly. My guess is that MK will be highest on their lists. If they are daredevils...

The autograph books are definitely the easiest, lowest maintenance choice. No muss, no fuss; just buy a book and you're set to go. The best pens are the really big fat ones - easiest for the characters to hold in their 'hands'. Some people suggest sharpies, but any big-barrelled pen will work if...

I've seen La Nouba 5 or 6 times, and it never fails to give me goosebumps. I've seen O and Zumanity in Vegas and 2 of the traveling shows, and La Nouba is still my favorite. Although the traveling Corteo was a really close 2nd! The theater is small, so you feel so close to the action no...

I thought the Pirate Cruise was only on the Seven Seas lagoon, leaving from the GF. I just checked allearsnet and they only talk about this cruise. Anyone know of something new on the river?

I love the Poly, too - even the 'Disney Water' smell when you walk in the lobby! We've stayed at WL and loved it too. It's hard to beat the WOW factor of the WL lobby, and the grounds are so peaceful. Nice pool with a fun slide and great theming. The Poly grounds are just as nice, but the lobby...

I recently went with my Mom, her sister, and my grandmother, and I have to admit I wondered how much fun it would really be. I wanted my grandmother to get lots of attention for her first trip (at age 84) so I did a bunch of stuff ahead of time that ended up being really fun. I made us custom...
