I did go for the passholder preview weekend, I thought it was an excellent ride. I felt the stops just added to the tension and the overall experience. I do wish the yeti was displayed longer. I rode it 8 times that weekend.

I gotta agree that Soarin is pretty lame. A couple of video monitors and nothing else.

While we're at it, the pre show at Soarin is pretty cheesy too! (but the ride is awesome)

While I love everything listed, I don't necessarly think of them as secrets. TTA is a great place to rest and relax on a hot, busy day or after a long day at MK but there is just so much to see and do. You really need to slow down and appreciate the little things. How about the maze/hedgerow in Engl...

Unfortunately, money is usually the deciding factor for most people, including me. I have only stayed onsite 3 times, 1 at ASMu, one at CBR and 1 at AKL. AKL was just a fabulous resort, we stayed there last December as what will most likely be the last "full family" trip. WE got an email c...

Fast pass is a great thing. It let's you maximize your time in the parks. Let's face it, a WDW vacation is not an inexpensive undertaking and this is just one of the things that help you get more done for your money. I use it when the standby line is longer than about 20 minutes, if it's shorter, th...

We loved the rooms, the carribiean theming was excellent. We spent time relaxing on the island between Aruba and Olde Port Royal. There are sev...

MK and EPCOT both opened between 12pm and 1 pm. Safety of the guests has to be most important. There were several tornados that set down in the south central Florida area on Monday morning. I think that it was the most prudent thing to do and all of the other Orlando attractions except Sea World clo...

In the semi circular walkway just in front of the baby center, between Casey's and Crystal Palace.

Far enough away from the crowds, close enough to center to see all the effects.

Watched Hallowishes from the same spot. It was just awesome.
