    EMH on check in day?

    I wasn't sure where to post this. In resorts or theme parks. Sorry if I posted to the wrong board. We are staying in Orlando a few days before checking into POR at my parents' condo. We will be checking in to POR on 9/24 and will only be staying until 9/26. 9/24 is a morning EMH and its the...

    POR Buildings

    My boyfriend and I are going to POR in Sept. This is his first trip, my 16th trip! It will just be the 2 of us, as its DD's senior year and I don't want to take her out of school. Anyways, my BF has back and feet problems (degenerative bone disease) and has a hard time walking. I've got the...

    Boatwright Dining Hall

    I agree with the pp. We were a bit disappointed when we went this year. We went a few years ago for dinner and loved it. We also enjoyed the ambiance. This year the portions seemed smaller and weren't as tasty. I didn't care much for the potatoes with the pot roast. The cornbread was really...

    Port Orleans Riverside

    Hi. I'm hoping you can help me. I just made reservations for my daughter and I for POR 12/8 - 12/12. I was wondering if you could tell me about POR. Are there bldgs. to request for close bus/food proximity? I'm not sure how many bus stops there are. We will be relying solely on Disney...

    Vistana Resort Review

    Hi Blessed_wth_Triplets. We actually did not pay for the resort, but exchanged it through RCI. It took about 5-10 min. to get to the parks. We would take a right out of the resort and at the first light and just drive down a bit and you were at the parks. It was very convenient, and when we...

    Vistana Resort Review

    Just got back from Vistana last night. I have to admit, I was really nervous after finding out we were in the Courts section of the resort. After staying there, I can honestly say, we found very little to complain about in the Courts section. Our unit was extremely clean and huge! We were...

    One Last Vistana Question

    Thanks so much Maria! Haven't had a chance to post in a few days. With work and trying to take care of DH, I haven't even packed or gotten my last minute dinner reservations. Looks like we may wing it this trip. Sometimes it seems that makes the best vacation. I will definately post a trip...

    One Last Vistana Question

    We are leaving Friday to drive to Orlando. :banana: Unfortunately, I had to call and change our room request, as we requested a top floor and DH broke his ribs cutting grass Sunday (long story), so now we will need a ground floor unit since he can't maneuver stairs very well at the moment. We...

    Roller Coasters at USO?

    Hi there. I have been lurking for a while, but never posted on this board. I'm a complete wimp when it comes to coasters. I can't stand them (the drop on Disney's POTC almost did me in!), however DH and DD (15) love the things. So I'm wondering, are there roller coasters at USO? I want to...

    Narcoossee's Menu

    We have ADRs for next Sunday night at Narcoossee's. My DD (15) does not really find the menu appealing. She doesn't eat steak or fish. She thinks the chicken looks to "fru fru". Is it possible for her to order a burger or chicken from the kids menu? We are staying offsite, so we will not be...

    Finally got Guest Certificate for Vistana Resort

    Maria, thank you so much! It really doesn't look like I thought it would. I think I was picturing a really run down apt. complex and it, at least in the pictures, doesn't look that bad. I did call and request a top floor, so we can get a little balcony (my morning coffee needs it). I also...

    Finally got Guest Certificate for Vistana Resort

    I didn't want to start a new thread and clog up the boards with my neverending questions, so I'm just adding on. Well, we got an e-mail from Diamond Lane and it is confirmed we are in the Courts. They say they can't upgrade us as the resort is full for the holiday weekend. Anyways, does...

    Finally got Guest Certificate for Vistana Resort

    Hi Maria and Spiceycat. I just wanted to thank the both of you for all of your insight regarding Vistana Resort. From the bldg. locations and age to pools. You have helped my family more than you can imagine with our upcoming vacation. I did want to clarify, as I was freaking out a bit when...

    Finally got Guest Certificate for Vistana Resort

    My boss came back from her leave yesterday and gave me my guest certificate (mailed to her for some reason). Unfortunately, when I looked at the certificate it has us arriving on Saturday in a 6/4 instead of the 8/6 occupancy we were originally supposed to have. From what I've read from the...

    Super Pool at Vistana?

    Thanks for the info. We will definately have to try that pool out. My DD plans on pool hopping and trying out all the pools while we're there.

    Super Pool at Vistana?

    I have been reading trip reports from various sites and have run across quite a few that talk about the super pool. Can anyone tell me about it? No one elaborated about it, just said not to miss it. Is that where all the activities are? Any pics? Thanks for any help.

    Dtd Hotel Perks?

    I believe the only non-Disney hotel with EMH is Hilton DTD. I'm not sure about the packages, though. I thought package delivery was only available to WDW resort guests, but I could be wrong.

    Am I going to miss Disney????

    We only stayed once onsite. DH and DD actually did not enjoy it. After staying in a 2 bdrm condo on vacation for years with our own kitchen and a great pool, they just felt too cramped at a moderate resort to feel too much magic. Unfortunately, I was the one who had to hear about their lack...

    Ever get Complimentary Upgrade at Radisson Resort Celebration?

    We got upgraded! We booked one night through Expedia the night before our stay. When we got there, they couldn't find our reservation. Someone checked the fax machine and it was sitting there. So, since there was a little mix-up (nothing major), they upgraded us to waterview. The room was...
