I've been at Thanksgiving for a number of years. Finally a few years ago, I stayed for about a week after and the difference was unbelieveable. If you can either stay longer or delay your trip until the week after t-giving you'll find the crowds much less!

Space Mountain (still) has a gift shop????????:ROFLOL::ROFLOL: While Disneyland's Space Mountain shop is little more than a sales counter at least you can find Space Mountain merch there. It seems more and more that Florida's is being taken over by the arcade, and generic "parks" merchandise.

Absolutely. Pam and her staff are great about looking at all the discounts and booking what's best for you, including AAA

I've been a member, ok mostly lurker, on WDWMagic for several years, and have been going to Disney -- both Florida and California since I was a preschooler. I have gone from parents planning the trips, to trying travel agents, to planning totally on my own, etc, etc, etc, over the years...

I hope this is a sign of things to come, and DW raising the quality of the offerings at its restaurants, which has been sorely needed to offeset the decline in quality and selection which has come with the disney dining plan

Isn't there an archive of splash mountain on-ride photos and/or overlays/borders anywhere-- CMs any ideas? Thanks again

I'm trying to find out what borders/photo overlays that Disney uses on Splash Mountain. It seems like these days, usually the only overlay is a small logo with the year. In 2005 I got one at Disneyland during the Christmas season with all the "critters" in their holiday finery, and snow on top...

Pam at Kingdom Konsultants is wonderful. Until I decided to book with her a few years ago, I handled all my own reservations, getting up early when AP rates hit, calling central reservations daily trying to book events and get the new rates, etc, etc, etc. Pam takes care of all of it. She is...

Use Disney Transport! Remember that in addition to everything else listed above, you will be spending a LOT of time walking to your car in the parking lot. The bus/monorail stops are right outside the parks. While there may be some delay getting a bus at your stop, it's MUCH faster than...

Unfortunately the rules changes a few years ago. You used to be able to renew when you went, however now, the renewal time period starts when the old one expired

Thanks! The designs and info for all three, especially the Asian look like they would have been great. hopefully we'll at least see it emerge from the mists of Imagineering's vaults at some point. Given the focus on Asia at animal Kingdom with Everest, maybe it could be another AK area hotel.

Man, I'll try anything including ToT once, and generally there's nothing at a Disney Park I won't/don't ride, however once on ToT was more than enough for me. Coasters, no problem, MS no problem. ToT... erm let's just say it took a bit to recover.

I think it is just some levels of Florida APs. I've had both a regular and premium AP (out of state/standard versions) and had no blackout dates.

OK, I know that this is based on VERY OLD information. In fact it came from two sources-- one with only icons for the resorts from the maps which used to be wallpapered to the walls of every room in the Polynesian-- waaay back when I first visisted in 1976. The second source is from "The Story...

Anyone where you're sitting in a nice restaurant while the showers cut loose. :) Seriously, while the summer rains are heavy, they don't last long-- frequently less than an hour.
