To Shelly, Thank you so much for keeping us all motivated and keeping a running total on who is all coming and when.
I agree Thank you Shelly for having so much fun with this, it is nice to have others to share our planning and excitement with.
To sixisenough-you asked about the Fort. If you mean Fort Wilderness, we stayed there with extended family in February 2006. It was kept very clean and well laid out. We were in loop 1400 and very convenient to everything. If possible stay in that loop as it is very close to where the campfire with Chip and Dale and movie night is and Meadow Trading Post. In my opinion that was the better of the two there at that time. We also could walk up to the boat launch for Magic Kingdom, we loved that option.
Thank you Remmy, We have rented a golf cart for our trip also, so that will make getting around easier. Do you know did they have any crafts/activities for the kids? How spacious were the cabins??
You also mentioned bad bus service at the Pop. May I please inquire what your problems were. In the many guide books and on various sites, it should have been the best of all values for the buses as they don't share. That is one of the major reasons we were considering it. We have heard from friends who have been at All Stars and the above, there is much wait time to go to the other resorts to load up and drop off. I am not saying that is always the case, but just from what I have read and heard. I am curious at your reasons, if you don't mind sharing as I have time to change.
I think the POP has gotten so popular and I saw that it is the 10th biggest hotel in world. We went the first week in Feb last year, and we had very bad waits for the buses, especially at MK. We stayed til after fireworks, and waited over an hour in line with 2 kids asleep. Feel free to PM me if you need more details. The all stars did not have the lines the POP did, and it is the furthest to walk to.
Last year at that time also, there were cheer groups, along with huge tour groups from Europe. They did lots of chanting in the parks. I think anymore there are so many groups throughout the year that travel to Disney.
I am so bummed about this ADR situation, my call in date was supposed to be July 21st. Have any of you done CRT and do you recommend, I may still try to reserve that and Chef Mickeys?
Also, can anyone tell me how to post pictures on the DIS? Thanks!

We're staying at BWV. This will be our first time staying there!
I am glad to do it, I mean it, Disney has taken over my life! 
I know in May we were at AK and wanted to go to ASMo to check it out so we went to the bus stop and a bus pulled right up. The bus was probably 3/4 full and that was for all 3 All Stars. From there we took a bus to DHS, after about a 5 minute wait. It was about half full and it had already stopped at the other 2 All Stars. Not bad, especially in May! I've never had any experience with the POP buses. And we have had good and bad with all the Moderates. 
to our new Snowbirds! That list is sure growing! 
Any suggestions?? 
) so we're planning on hitting the am EMH at the parks, stay until 1:00 or so, back to the hotel for a nap/rest and then back to the parks and maybe hit some pm EMH ~ we'll see.
) first time to Disney so I'm glad to have at least that part taken care of. Still waiting for hours here too. Welcome to the Snowbirds!
