Wow, I just checked and it's showing no availability at any of those resorts. I opened it up to all resorts and all that was available was the first night at SSR in a preferred view. Sorry.

Okay, no problem. I'm heading out the door to work at the moment, will post as soon as I can look, hopefully within a couple of hours.

I'll look it up on the website for you if you tell me the dates and the accommodations to look at.

Very cool!

I was going to ask about the prices but I'm definitely in the camp of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it." I already know I can't. I'll be camped on the beach at the Polynesian which shouldn't cost me anything. But with Disney, who knows.

We got annual passes a few times when our kids were little and we went more often. But not anymore. But I just bought tickets with the recent deal through Undercover Tourist, get a 7 day ticket for the price of a four day. But what's nice about the 7 day from Disney is you can use it for more than one trip like what sherryberry is doing. That's pretty good.

I agree, we went to Santa Cruz also and enjoyed it. Our plan was to go to Roaring Camp for the railroad but we just didn't have the time.

Enjoyed your trip report. I don't think I would have recognized Joe Rohde, well, except for that nasty earring.

If you're planning to visit Alcatraz, get your tickets well in advance. When we visited last summer we did all the typical tourist things, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, etc. If you're venturing outside the city, Sausalito is very nice. Had a great lunch there right on the water at Spinnakers. Also, we didn't stay in SF, we stayed in Half Moon Bay, just south of San Francisco. Very nice spot, stayed at the Beach House, ate a few times at Mezza Luna, fantastic Italian restaurant. Not sure where else you're visiting in CA but Yosemite and Sequoia were the most beautiful places

Thanks for the pictures, they're great. I think they've done a really nice job and now I can't wait for our trip there at the end of the year. Nice to see the topiaries have returned as well. It's those details that have always made me love the Wilderness Lodge.

Great pictures of the castle suite. I love the starry night over the tub...I want that!

Looks amazing! I'm not sure if this has been covered somewhere but are they tiering the fast passes? I'm guessing they won't let you get one for each ride.

Beautiful pictures from Epcot. I love the F&G festival, it's so pretty. I like the idea of a ride and a drink at each park. I may have to implement that next trip.

That sounds really cool. Do the vehicles sway or anything? Or is all the movement felt from watching the screen? I guess I have to watch this movie before we go in December.

Excellent start, can't wait to read more.

I'm in, page one, yay! All I can comment on right now is the fact that JediElsa is wearing snow boots. In The Florida heat. Yuck.

Wow, that's some video, I'm going to have to go back and watch the whole thing when I have time. I did see the bike scene though and all I can say is, that poor pony who had to take the hippie for a ride! Couldn't they have found a horse for him to ride? Or maybe hippies have a thing against horses.

I wondered that too. I think it was a thing back then because I can remember some of my friends having those orange flags on their bikes.

Very cool video. Some of the things shown I remember, although I never did see the train.

Love that you have the sign. Now when I look back at our pictures taken next to the sign I can say "Hey, I know where that is now..." Very cool.

Thanks for the laughs. Although I was looking forward to trying the Live Off the Land plan...I've never had armadillo.

We saw it too, loved it. When we got home I had to google it to see how they achieved the Beast. They did an amazing job and I thought all the roles were cast perfectly, especially Gaston.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! We had actually reserved it a couple of months ago but we never found a good airfare that we could afford so we had to cancel . Now we have a trip booked for NYE, so even though I know there's no free party then, it's okay, at least we've got a trip in the works!

Were you there for the DVC party? How was it?

We have pictures over the years in that same spot. Yes, you should have stolen the sign.
