    Stroller Graduate - now what to do with our stuff?

    We used these: I ordered them from Land's end and had them shipped to our resort. They were less than $10 each (sale) The first day we just had a regular LE backpack that we had used for carry on luggage and it was heavy and uncomfortable. These little string bags were awesome because...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    Thanks, we will certainly enjoy visiting the Cars area even if we don't get a room there. I tried sending the Touring Plan fax - it opened in a new window, empty except for a spinning icon indicating something was loading. I assumed it would format the page for me to print or fax myself, but...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    I called the Art of Animation number (407 938 7000) and the girl there put me through to the general réservations number (407 939 1936) so if you want to call to request a building or room or anything not on the check-in form, I guess that is the one to call. She said they don't do...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    I have it figured that there is a 50/50 chance because Nemo rooms are likely not included or would be full already - unless there is a reason that more people would prefer a Cars room. I figure the Lion King is probably more popular with all kids, and the only reason we care to have a Cars...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    Oh, and Touring plans has a fax form we can fill out for very specific rooms - is it better to ask for a very specific area, or just say anywhere in Cars. Are there elevators? Because we'd make a ground floor request if not.

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    What is the best way to make a room request? We are 9 days out and the online check-in doesn't have an option for our highest priority request for a Cars room. Because we are going on free dining, it is a reservation for a suite, assigned at check in. I see posts about faxing it in, calling...

    first time - rent a van for 10 days or not?

    Thank you for your reply! That makes sense to me - there is also a price to pay for having four kids - it keeps coming up for everything on this trip! But sometimes it works out - I did not expect free dining for our dates but it came up and is going to really save us some money and make it...

    first time - rent a van for 10 days or not?

    This is our first and probably only trip for a family of 6. We have 5 days booked on resort at A of A, and are planning to do the rest at a nearby hotel with suites so we have more room. I am flying into Sanford and want to rent a vehicle, but will really only need it to get to and from the...

    Rental tips - from Sanford

    Bumping this up, I have a little more information: A one-way shuttle is $110 - $120 from Sanford for all 6 of us. Some of the companies do a grocery stop which would be awesome. The difference between minivan rental for the whole trip (10 days, Sanford to Sanford) vs. rental for the part we...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    I tried going in again but it still says Family Suite is the only type of room available for this offer. Not a problem, I will just make a room request and hope to get it. It is the cozy cone pool etc. that I think my son will really love, with the cars all around etc. so I know we can use it...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    Okay, Nemo or Lion King wouldn't be as bad, but he will certainly be most excited about the Cars if we can get it! I will call and make the request.

    Rental tips - from Sanford

    Hello, just wondering if anyone has rented a car coming in from Sanford. That is our only option for flights and Magical Expess doesn't run from there. We need to get 6 people and our luggage from Sanford to Disney, we have a 10 day stay - half on property, and half off of the property. I...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    We are booked in August and used the deal with the free dining. We had previously been booked in a Cars family room but when the dining plan came up we had to change the reservation and it was only available for a family suite, not specifically Cars. Part of our reason for staying on site...

    My DD10 wants to try pin trading???

    I figured the ebay pins were just like garage sale items - somebody who knows they are Disney pins finds them at a bargain or collects and sells pins other people don't want anymore. If pin trading is a hobby there will be pins some people value more and others that are less valuable - and...

    August 2015, it's early but who's with me?!

    I have the PIN with the park hoppers added and 15% off the room at A of A, and I can also see the Summer discount on the website that would be 20% off the A of A room. For a family of 6 I am not sure what the better deal is. Also, I am thinking about doing the Orbitz deal for extra savings...

    VacationStrategy quoted $211/nt for 2br BonCrk. Good price?

    I don't know your dates or how long you are staying but I am seeing a few week-long stays in April on ebay - seems to be a reputable seller who deals with WBC properties and good feedback/rating. About $700 for a week starting on the 19th or 26th.

    Comparing Orange Creek with WBC

    Thanks, when you are finished enjoying your trip, would you be able to tell me a little about your experience and why you choose OL? There are endless threads about WBC on this forum but a search for OL comes up with only a few threads and the reviews seem to be mixed - either super positive...

    August 2015, it's early but who's with me?!

    Tried the magical deal but it won't work for our party size (6) unless we want to book two rooms. The resorts covered by the deal don't have rooms that size. Just FYI for anyone who might be curious. If anyone gets a different reply please let me know!
