    Let's talk Manatees

    OP here. Thanks! I had read that too. Figured we would need to get there around 8AM to hopefully get in when they open. I'm now stalking their FB page, web cams, etc. and Three Sisters as well. I have narrowed it back down to Blue Springs and Three Sisters - just can't decide.

    2023 Sea World Christmas Celebration

    I'd love to hear more about everyone's favorite parts of the Christmas event. My hubby and I will be going in early December and we have never been to Seaworld at all! Any input on the calmer roller coasters? I can do speed, but not a fan of lots of upside down, or lots of twists. Any free...

    Does anyone live near Crystal River? Manatee question

    Thank you so much for your response! Incredible pictures. Definitely close - I actually meant that Blue Springs would be a close drive - not close to the manatees. Gosh the water looks clear and gorgeous ! I read that the Oct 12th tornado caused a lot of damage and that the springs had...

    Does anyone live near Crystal River? Manatee question

    Most importantly I want to express my sympathy for all that this area has gone through in the last few months. Hurricane and then a tornado? I can't imagine. And if you do live there, my next question is pretty insignificant and perhaps insensitive. I apologize in advance. We will be in...

    Let's talk Manatees

    OP here. Thank you so much for all this great info! I thought I had to go over to Crystal River to see them. Lots of great options here!

    Let's talk Manatees

    Hubby and I would like to take a day away from the parks to see the Manatees the first week of December. Not interested too much in formal swim with the manatees type thing, but would love to see of them what we can. We have been reading a lot and using the search feature here, but would love...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    You know I think this was true in 2021 at least. We went the first night which was Nov. 8th that year. The lines were really short, and some also speculated that influencers, etc were just busy making content and not riding rides. We had an incredible time, but I think it will be more...

    Bonnet Creek

    The following is copied and pasted from my rental agreement with them. I made an initial deposit of $250 about 3 months before our stay. I don't know if that amount is a percentage of the total - that may vary. I owe the remaining 30 days before the stay. This is for an upcoming stay in Dec...

    Bonnet Creek

    Vacation Upgrades with Ken and Denise Price are also recommended. I have my current reservation for Dec. with them, and so far the communication (and the price) have been great!

    The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

    Thanks! That helps! I did see that view on a video and it looks really nice! I wonder if Building 6 is situated so that most will not get a blacktop/parking lot view from their balconies?? I just really want to enjoy the balcony. EDIT: I should have researched better - learning presidential...

    The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

    If I am most interested in a lake view, higher floor - and can book either a 2 bedroom deluxe (thinking there is more of them) or a 1 bedroom Presidential - which would you think would be the better gamble? I realize I can communicate my preference at check in only. I am not an owner. They...

    Worldmark to Toy Story lot

    https://www.disboards.com/threads/toy-story-lot-pedestrian-entrance-off-katella.3900546/#post-64403561 I am disappointed that my thread didn't show up on your search - I even have a picture! (and the sign on the left is no longer there) 😁 But more importantly - YES, I will reaffirm all the...

    Where would you stay?

    I haven't heard many people on the boards recommend the Hampton Inns and Suites on Katella at all. Not sure why they call it the Convention center as I associate that more with the hotels on Harbor south of the parks. We stayed here mid December and preferred it to our usual Homewood Suites on...

    Hotel help please!

    They’ve been doing this for a while. I’m not sure exactly how long. We did this Dec. 12-14, 2022. Yes, same entrance area off Harbor. The bus pulls up to a dedicated area on the south side (toward DCA) that is barricaded from the rest and you just walk through. You couldn’t go through security...

    Hotel help please!

    We have always stayed at the Homewood Suites. On our last trip the newer Hampton Inn on Katella was less expensive, and the walk to the Toy Story Lot seemed even shorter than Homewood Suites. We always use the free shuttle at the TS lot, and this last trip enjoyed the fact that you clear...

    Who is going in December 2022??

    This happened on Dec. 12th - not to us. We shared a table with a mom and daughter at the WOC dessert party on Tuesday Dec 13th who were staying at DLH. They said the same thing, got a paper under the door and glow sticks.

    Security/ CA Line Entry

    Just went Dec 12-15th. TOY STORY lot buses use security BEFORE you board the bus! It's awesome. When you are dropped off, you enter the Esplanade without going through security!

    Who is going in December 2022??

    Let me encourage you about rain. I stalked every weather source for our recent trip Dec.12-15th. Of course it changes the closer you get to the actual date, but on the 11th, there was an 80% chance of rain for the 12th. It did rain the 11th, and very early AM of the 12th, but not a drop the...
