Very interesting.

Awesome, looks like fun!!!

My parents have cell phones, but rarely use them. They still insist on calling us on our house phone, which annoys me, because it's across the house. My cell phone is sitting in my lap usually. We only have a house phone because of the cable bundle.

I'm getting really excited to arrive in less than a week!!

Lived in North Charleston another lifetime ago when 1st spouse was in the Navy. Crossing the bridges was an almost daily occurrence for awhile as I worked on Kiowa island. Unfortunately, didn't have a camper back then. One of our favorite things was going into Mt. Pleasant for the seafood, and since we were still pretty young, went to the beach quite a bit. Also enjoyed going to the Cooper River Bridge to see if I could get a glimpse of the sub as it was coming in, then get back to the base as they docked.

Also, with the Sky Transportation bringing more guests to the International Gateway rather than the main entrance, that will relieve some of the main entrance traffic.

Although I've never heard of them having to use it, I'm sure there is some type of overflow exit somewhere. Also, looking at the satellite, they might be able to create some walkways running under the monorail line behind the Camera Center, and the shop on the other side. Leading folks directly to Nemo on one side, and Guardians on the other side, and bypassing the area around Spaceship Earth.

The problem with hotels, is it's a hotel. Unless you spring for the big suites, with a balcony, there is no "lounging around" There is nothing better than stepping out under your awning and relaxing in the big gravity recliner in the morning. Or sitting around with a bunch of Fiends in the evening. Looping, checking out the decorations, etc. We no longer spend more than a couple hours a day at most in the parks. Hanging out at a hotel is not the same. Offsite is even worse. We have that stupid, heavy ECV to contend with. Loading it in the truck a couple of times a day is no fun. Having sa

We're scheduled to arrive the 26th, booked through the 12th, but may actually pull out on the 10th. We are discovering we can't push home in one day anymore, and may also not have the 12th as a Holiday.

Yes, it still works. Purchase the tickets from UT, when you get to WDW, go through a turnstyle, then go to the TTC. They know tickets inside and out.

That is annoying. I wonder how it is handled if you have 6-8 folks at the same table, all on separate checks? Do they get $15 per person, $15 per table?.........

Is she renting points on a DVC room? If so, that is about right. You get towel and trash service on DVC rooms, but have to pay for full cleaning.

Yeah....... ever since I saw a little girl totally showing her tail acting just awful after a makeover and during a photo session, I now refer to it as Bippity Boppity Brat..... (The mom didn't spring for the shoes)

I love Carousel of Progress. I actually think they could add another theater. Now load and unload are at two seperate spots. They could make each scene just a bit longer, add an additional "scene", and put load an unload in the same place. That would help with the gap between the 40's and now 🙂

You could, but you would have to pay to park

There was a right hand curved road that bypassed the toll booths to Vista, but it's been blocked off as long as I've been going. Perhaps that is the road that you remember.

COOL!!! So how soon will the entitled blogger mommies insist their trip is ruined because they weren't the "family of the day"

Since they converted 2100 loop back to campsites, unfortunately there is not an easy cabin loop to get to a regular comfort station.

Yes, on the waterskiing, but on the parasailing, you don't get wet. You are winched out from a platform on the back of the boat, and winched back in.

That was my experience a couple of years ago too. General work email, Webex meetings, no issues, working with large files live on SharePoint, my Verizon MiFi did a better job. This was in 1700 loop. Just as practice though, when I'm working remotely on a wireless network, I generally just check out the file, download it to my hard drive, work it, then upload when done. Lots less bandwith required than saving to the server every few minutes.

Wow! I really wanted to try parasailing eventually

Spent the weekend with Kathy and Bob and Tim and Sheila. Great little park for an overnight stop in TN if you are heading down I-65.

No thanks, from what I've read on the "Mom's Panel" advice, they don't allow any "real" advice, it's all tote the Disney line crap, and push their upcharge stuff.

I did get the bill the other day. $14 and change for both trips. They had a picture of my truck and camper and a picture of the camper tag on the bill. I wonder though, if I was from one of those states that don't require trailer tags if they could have seen my truck tag?
