I don't really 'hate' any ride at WDW, but I will say that I'm still disappointed at the Tiki Room change. I so much liked the previous version better.

How about some love for the classic Tiki...

Nice to know that! I was wondering if for our next trip down with the two DDs, we would be better off with a bigger room in POR with the trundle, or to just get two rooms at a value resort for about...

Spent last week trolling all four parks with my two DDs, 11 and 14. Some thoughts for those planning a vacation anytime soon.

1. We stayed offsite for the first time in recent memory, right in...

One thing to remember (having made that mistake myself) is that WDW is on the opposite side of Orlando from Daytona. It's easy to assume that once you get into Orlando that you're, 'just about...

I'm not a huge fan of this ride, but the comment that it's a way to cool off in the middle of the day is right on the money. The lines are usually longer in its neighbors (TT and MS), so getting in...

9 Days to go, and I need a bit of help, having been away from the World for 5 years...

Where, in each park, is the best place to have a reasonably filling and inexpensive meal? I seem to remember...

We had grand success one night on the deck beside/behind the Mexican restaurant just over the first bridge as you go clockwise into the World Showcase. Get there early, grab a table and some of the...

Do they traditionally pull people "off the street" to test rides/attractions? We'll be there Apr. 28--May 2, and that would be pretty neat!!

:mickey:

My DW is not as Disney-crazy as my two DDs and I, so will spend a good part of our time in Orlando at the condo pool. She is, however, willing to drop us off in the morning, and pick us up at night....

I assume most Texas schools have a mid-March break as does most of the south. In the northeast, many schools take a February and April vacation. School vacation week for Mass, Conn, RI and some of...

You said your DD is 16? I'd be willing to bet she's a master at text-messaging. Assuming you will let her wander for long periods of time (and where's a better place to do that than WDW), you can...

I have 4-day Park Hopper tickets leftover from 2003. Each has two days of credit left. I want to 'upgrade' them (as I did last time) to four day tickets at the beginning of our visit to WDW in...

Three things come to mind that don't seem to be mentioned here.

1. Think backwards--most people tend to ride the first thing they see upon entering (like SpaceShip Earth at Epcot). Skip that, and...

Don't be surprised by the vanilla way that American history is presented...although it's real to talk about racism, or our horrifying treatment of the Native Americans, that's not what people come to...

I believe this may be the only ride that ever had two legitimate names: Skyway to Tomorrowland, and Skyway to Fantasyland.

I surely remember this ride, and the "rooftop" view you got on it. In a...

I have three passes from '03 that are: Non expiring, park hopper, with two days remaining on each.

If I were to buy similar 2-day tickets today, they would each cost $199. The three-day version...

Thanks for all the tips, I really appreciate them. Kids were too young for Mission Space in '03, and "spinny" rides aren't too good for my insides :ack:. I had forgotten completely about Soarin'.

Since most of you have been to WDW a lot more than this deprived New Englander, can someone update me on what's worth seeing for the first time? My two DDs are 11 and 14, so are open to just about...

I bought a Pal Mickey for my two DDs back in '03 literally the week they became available (he turns five in about two weeks!). My kids really enjoyed the little guy, and played with him quite a bit...

The parks are indeed beautiful Christmas week, but having done it once, I won't do that again. The number of people in every park, the extremely long lines, the long days, it's just not worth the...

As you can see by my member name, I've been a huge fan of SM since my first trip over 30 years ago. Over time, I'm not sure if it's my age, or the incredible coasters built elsewhere, or the aging...

Having stayed at POFQ, it's true that the buses pick up and drop off their first. At more crowded times, it might be worth it for you to walk (or even take the 2 min. drive) over to POFQ to 'jump...

As a teacher, let me flip that on it's head...why should a teacher, who cannot even think about taking a vacation during a non-vacation week, "jump through hoops" for you? ...

People tend to forget that HS teachers have (in my case) 131 students give or take. To expect us to create individual lesson plans for each kid when they want to take a vacation is impractical to...

If this will ease the worry for some...

My HS sent 280+ kids and chaperones to WDW for a music event last week, and were a test case for the ME. They were met by the aforementioned reps on navy...
