Hello from another Texan (east Texan that is). Welcome to the Dis. There are alot of very friendly people here who would be very happy to help you with your trip planning. I just found this board last fall, but so many people here are true experts (as well as Disney lovers).
I'll be at WDW May 13th-May 22nd. I'll be staying two days at POP, then renting DVC points for Boardwalk Villas for five nights, then two more days at POP. I'll try to post a report about POP when I return. Meanwhile if you look over on the resorts board, POP has it's own thread and has LOTS of information. If you have any questions about transportation, post them on the transportation board. A guy named Tyler who works transportation at WDW, posts there alot and is the resident expert. Also if you're interested there is a sub board under resorts for codes. Hopefully an general code will come out for your time and save you some money. Have fun planning your trip.
