haha sorry i hit the wrong button...i'm not done!
One tip I can give to aspiring pin traders is a CM must trade with you no matter what you want to give them in return so don't hesitate if you see something you like! Now this doesn't mean you take there pins...you must give a pin in return!
My tips and suggestions are:
1. Definetly rent a car if you have the means to...a night or two eating outside the world can be refreshing and cheaper!(Inqire about Chevy's-great mexican!) Plus it cuts transportation time down. A lot of the time we'd park at the beach club and hop the boat from there to the international gateway in Epcot.
2. Don't neglect the world showcase in Epcot..when the merchandise in the parks becomes monotones the shopping here is like a dream come true! And it's not that pricey either.
3. Definetly eat at Norway's buffet in Epcot. The food is incredibly well prepared and the variety is amazing. Its not all fish, the hot entres are mainly meat, vegatable, and potato dishes.It was some of the most delicious food we've ever had! Eat at the Cape May buffet- classic favorites and all the steamers you can eat. Never dissapointing! Although we liked Boma it was VERY spicey and interesting so if your a picky eater I might not suggest it! Don't be afraid to try buffets because your afraid the kids won't like them, most offer a childs selection with all the kid-freindly standards!
4. Goodings is a grocery store located down by Typhoon lagoon and downtown disney. Before we went to the lodge we stopped and picked up snacks to sustain us between meals it's good but not necessay....definetly buy a refillable mug it pays for itself!
5. If you have kids who are old enough to be left alone for a night treat them to a night at disney quest- all the video and virual reality games they can play-and treat yourself to a night by yourselves! However its fun for young kids too so make it a family activity!
6. Don't feed the birds down by the pool at the lodge! feed one bird and within seconds you could film your own remake of the hitchcock classic with all the birds that suddenly flock to your chairs and tables...and they won't leave you alone!
Allright I swear I'm done now! I hope this was at all helpful to anybody! enjoy the lodge you won't want to leave!

Also, can anyone tell me what kind of weather to expect? My daughter will be 21 months old when we go and absolutely loves the water, so we were hoping to use the pool if at all possible. If not, I'm sure we'll at least enjoy much warmer weather than what we'll be leaving behind in Wisconsin!
