Actual Easter activities at Walt Disney World. 1. Wait 30 minutes....get in park 2. Wait 1 hour, ride a ride. 3. Wait 2 more hours, ridea nother ride 4. Wait another hour....get some lunch 5. Wait 2 and a half hours, get a marginal seat for the parade. ......

As a "thank you" for booking our trip earlier this month with her, my travel agent scheduled a Christmas call. We got it, with Mickey gleefully telling my kids that he just heard that their parents are taking them to Disney World. The problem was our trip was EARLIER THIS MONTH. I had to...

I did that my 8th grade year of high school with a bass drum on. It was pretty impressive. Unintentional, but impressive!

As I mentioned in another thread, we were at POR when the Pop Warner folks came in. There were several groups there, and, with the exception of some line cutting while waiting for the PO bus from MGM, we had no problems with the cheerleaders. Their PARENTS on the other hand were a serious...

I just got back. I was at Port Orleans Riverside where several groups were staying. They all decorated their room windows with Christmas lights and support messages for their teams. That was ok. They were not too noisy. HOWEVER, on Monday night, leaving MGM (during EMH) there was a HUGE line...

I am going from Nov 30 - Dec 5 (also from South Jersey). We did this same time two years ago. Waits were about 10 to 15 minutes max. In fact, I found the Magic Kingdom more crowded during the MVMCP then during the actual operating day. One event going on that week that I am suprised that...

We had my daughter's first cut there and they gave her a set of Mouse Ears with "First Haircut" embroidered on them. Pretty cool keepsake.

Unfortunately the under 30 seconds (or 15 seconds for that matter) guideline is a myth. Any portion of copyrighted material used with out permission on a public website is a violation of the law and the rights holder could take action. That being said, as was mentioned earlier, many MANY...

El Rio is clearly my favorite. I DO NOT miss it. If I am in EPCOT I must ride that at some point. Maelstrom I will do if I have time and am so inclined. The "thrill" in Maelstrom is hardly worth mentioning. Get a more thrilling ride on the bus to the park. You fly through the attraction too...

I listen to most of these as well. It is hard to say which is the best. I would lean toward the WDW Today, but as was mentioned before, it is sometimes hard to hear, especially through a car tranmitter. There are so many good Disney podcasts that it is overwhelming. I co-host a podcast on...

Not sure why it is, but I tried to buy one before I went a few weeks ago and got the same message. Florida resident ones were available but non-resident APs wern't. I live in the States (NJ), so it wasn't because you are from overseas.

I think another issue is people staying at Downtown Disney resorts (non-Disney) using the busses to get to the park. Several years ago I was at a conference in the Wyndham Palace. The bus that the Downtown Disney hotels shared seemed like it would run only every 45 minutes. So we would walk...

I am going down tomorrow. When are they more likely to run the opening? First thing in the morning or later in the day? We have the Studios/AK double planned for Saturday. Thought of doing AK first then going to the Studios, since they are open longer, but if EE openings are more likely to...

...you think a "Park Hopper" is something you need after refilling your mug too many times.

... you avoid the monorail because.."Doc says I can't afford to get that again!"
