Wasn't turn down service exactly. Housekeeping set the bed up real cute, tied balloons around the bedposts, and left treat for the kids. Phenomenal service! - CravingDisney150.1 #2296 3-7-11 7:31PMLike Reply
Ok I promise that I did an extensive search on the best places to watch Fantasmic from and came up empty handed. We don't want to wait forever for best seats so if anyone has suggestions on decent spots without the wait I'm listening. T More...

try viewing from the bridge above pirates line queue. Usually don't have to stand too long there, maybe 30 min. - Ht614.0 #178 3-4-11 1:42PMLike Reply
Ok. I always get front row seats and wait about 30-40 minutes. I always watch the second show at 10:30 ish. I just stand closeby in NO on Pirates or HM and when the first show ends I swoop in and get front and center seats. Have fun! We love Fantasmic - ChimChimCher-ee171.3 #1985 3-4-11 1:50PMLike Reply
Yeah, i was about to say that. right when the first show ends, everyone leaves and you grab the best spots. So in this case, Fantastmic will end at about 9:25pm..so get there around that time and swoop a spot! - goinghometime24.3 #4719 3-4-11 1:52PMLike Reply

Go for the moderate hotels. We stayed at Saratoga Springs when it was Dixie Landing- loved how they had boats there. A plus if you have that option in pkg (plus you can time it to see fireworks fr water taxi!), Yacht Club had best food (Cape May's clam bake buffet), Port Orleans had a pretty good pool but would rather have stayed elsewhere. Wilderness Lodge was like the Grand. Amazing pool and food. Also stayed off property and hated it. Shuttles were fewer and more of a hassle. Plus, WDW didn't deliver packages to your room. We loved to shop, even for little things like pens and ornaments and food. It was a relief to not carry it around or worry about it melting. Plus, resorts have heated pools!!! - Elaine404.5 #323 2-26-11 5:59PMLike Reply

JustGoofyDad and Tinkaboutit - I don't know when you are coming home but drive carefully. The whole valley is supposed to be covered in dense fog the next couple of days.

I am having a tiny bit of guilt. We made reservations in July for 5 nights at PP. We are AP holders so we didn't do tickets. I just called DL reservations to see if we could get a discount with the new fall offers. They gave us $444.0 More...
Don't feel guilty. I am pretty sure it doesn't really cost DL $15 to allow a car to be parked in the structure. - HotDiggityDogDaddy1112.2 #74 9-6-10 11:46AMLike Reply

I don't know why it is but when my adult friends and I go to DL we tone down our profanity to like zero. But there are times you just wanna scream out a 4 letter word or two. We use 'pooh bear' instead of swearing. It's very cleansing and family friendly too. I think it's because we get to say 'pooh' - BlueberryCrusader650.7 #161 5-12-10 9:08PMLike Reply
