Cinnamon rolls at Main Street Bakery Still like the cinnamon rolls at the Main Street Bakery better! :D They're our traditional post-fireworks 'dinner'... Mmmmmm. ;)

When to go to Disney I can only speak to the summer break option. (My wife's a teacher too.) ;) We've gone the past two summers (late-July, mid-June). The weather was scorching hot as you'd expect, but it didn't put a damper on our fine. The lines weren't too bad- as long as you get...

If I were in Disneyworld I'd be on Soarin' right now!

Top picks for Disney moderate resorts Here are my picks for top moderate resorts: http://disneyvacations4families.com/disney_orlando_hotels/top_disney_moderate_resorts.htm There are picks for the other categories (both onsite and offsite) too. I'm jealous because I want to go back so bad...

Proposing at Disney OR maybe he's setting you up for the big surprise? :D When we were there last year, a guy proposed right in front of the Castle. Sure it was a bit contrived, and maybe even a cliche, but it was also very romantic. Everyone around was watching, a few hundred at least, and...

SpectroMagic parade at Magic Kingdom We LOVE SpectroMagic- so much that it gets its own SpectroMagic Photo Gallery! We see it at least a couple of times each visit to Walt Disney World. I think it's our favorite of all the parades. It would be nice to see them make minor 'tweaks' every few...

Favorite dessert at Walt Disney World The cinnamon rolls at the Main Street bakery in Magic Kingdom! YUM! :sohappy: Since we've had them twice for 'dinner' after the Wishes fireworks show does that still count??? ;)

Visiting Walt Disney World What I look forward to most is that first glimpse of the castle once inside the gates of Magic Kingdom, and walking down Main Street for the first time toward the castle.

2010 Disney theme Celebrate yesterday? tomorrow? ;) One thing I missed this year vs. last year was that last year, it seemed all the cast members said "Have a Magical Day". This year, we only heard it a few times. :(

Best restaurants at Epcot Not sure if this qualifies as 'quick service' or not, but we really enjoyed the walk-up outdoor dining at the Mexico Pavilion. It's outside the San Angel Inn and called La Cantina de San Angel. Good food, not too expensive.

Stuck on Tower of Terror Yikes! A little extra late-night Terror! That is definitely a ride I would NOT want to be stuck on- especially in the elevator shaft.

Great camera for travel We bought a Canon SX10 IS (10 mp) for our trip to Disney this year and have been very happy with it. The 20x optical zoom is great for bringing the action closer. It has advanced features (for me) but is also easy to use on automatic (for my wife). Paid just over $300...

Cape May breakfast buffet I'd recommend the character breakfast buffet at Cape May- if you can get in. It was delicious! :D

Disney movies at WDW While I've never gone there looking to buy movies, I've noticed many stores sell them on DVD and now on Bluray. I've never seen any that I haven't seen locally at stores, etc. so I don't think you'll find any discontinued movies at any of the Disney stores. You'll just have...

Favorite souvenir store in Walt Disney World If you go buy $$$ spent, at least for the kids, it's definitely the LEGO store at Downtown Disney's Marketplace (www.DisneyVacations4Families.com/disney_orlando_attractions/downtown_disney_marketplace.htm). My kids spend at least 1/2 of their savings...
