Can't get the picture of Clark Griswald's cousin Eddy with the t-shirt tucked into the Speedo our of my mind.

Are they bringing the dawg with them?

Very funny thread - thanks for the laughs!

Sorry if this lowers (?! ) the tone of the thread, but there was a serious question hidden here somewhere...

While it seems to be enforced sporadically, WDW does actually have a policy (whether official or unofficial) of only allowing resort guests in the front of the resort monorail. Certain monorails are designated as "Contemporary", "Poly" or "GF", and priority is given to guests at that resort. I have seen this on several occasions. One time, we were permitted to ride up front from MK, with the warning that we would have to vacate if there were guests waiting at the Contemporary who wanted to be up front. We were Poly guests at the time.

Sorry for the intrusion!

PS By the way, if you see any characters in the parks, go right on up to them. Don't be concerned about the people standing in line - they just don't know any better... If you want to go off and do some rides, just leave your kids with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy etc. After all, who better to look after your young-uns than Disney characters! You should also ask as many CMs as possible what time the 3 o' clock parade is. They think that's really funny!

Wow!!! Who knew. Even after staying at the Polynesian and CR I never heard that.

Gosh, we stay at WL. Does this policy extend to the boats between WL, FW and MK? We stay at WL, and I can just hear it now, "Give up your seat or walk the plank, camper!"

Don't forget to NOT tip mousekeeping, leave your trash on the table at the food court...you might miss sneaking to the front of the line for the bus.....first thing when you get to the parks is grab a wheelchair so you don't have to wait in any lines. Oh by the way, you can use anything as a "refillable mug" I read a post one time and it said they saw someone filling a bread bag with soda. I think the best pool is @ the Boardwalk, so be sure to pit that on your list...heck you can even throw a party there, send out invites and all!!!!!

Sorry....couldn't resist! (Couldn't find speedo clip, but I found another Cousin Eddie classic)

Clark : Real tomato ketchup, Eddie?
Cousin Eddie : Oh, nothing but the best.

Cousin Eddie : I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don't you, Clark?
Clark : You're the gourmet around here, Eddie.

Aunt Edna : Why don't you just ask him for the money, Eddie? He sure as Hell can't take a hint.
Cousin Eddie : Well, I didn't want to ask you, Clark, you know, but could you maybe spare a little extra cash?
Clark : Sure, Eddie, how much do you need?
Cousin Eddie : About fifty-two thousand dollars.

BT that is hysterical. Do you have the quotes about the metal plate in his head?

I have to sit on the floor when I watch that movie...if not I fall off the sofa...truth!

I don't want to be groteseque but you can do what one family did while we were relaxing at SAB - don't bring your kids to the bathroom when they have to go - you don't want to waste your valuable sun time - just pull down their bathing suit and aim for the drain between your lounge chair and the poolside- you know the 15 foot walk to the bathroom is too far!

After that you could move on to your next pool!

I'm sorry - but I had to share that story - I was totally offended.

RIP - Snoots(the dog) committed suicide 2 years ago. We had him tied to the trailer front steps on a 2 foot leash and the porch is 4 feet high.
When we came home form bingo - well, there he was ...
(NO JOKE - I really had someone want to call off from work using this excuse - NO JOKE - see my profile)

The kid with no clothes on cannot be mine if he was 2 or 3 years old.
I have not been to Orlando since the "tenament on wheels" broke down 4 years ago - so he can't be mine.

Why even bother bringing the refillable mug? Just take a short trip to the chic-a-fil-a in Kissimmee and use that at the food court (I did see this at POFQ in August).

I would pool hop to AKL. Even DVC'ers are not allowed to pool hop there.
