Disney Freaks - UNITE!

Another trick is if you are not doing the parade is to make a dinner reservation for the parade time, less crazy dining experience!

clay · 02-25-2012, 11:06 AM

hey Medusa...you will so enjoy this trip! I stayed at Port Orleans Resort Riverside my last trip there June 2007! The beds are made of tree trunks..actual spaling trunks..amd mirror frames, picture frames, etc all are made with birch bark...really rustic but an awesome resort.
DO the dining plan and the food is so much, you wont believe. DON"T use the dining plan snack tickets for bottled water or drinks....just an FYI!
DO make one of the dining reservations for the Hawaiian restaurant there...you won't be disappointed. There is also a retro 50's diner...straight out of the Donna Reed show of the 50's. The waiters are just the cutest lil gay boys!!! VERY attentive.
See the parades from down by the Magic Kingdom on Main Street...and be sure to see one at night. All the floats are lit with colored rope lighting and spectacular. PLUS you see the very best fireworks show from there at night.
Be on the front side of the Kingdom at night...one of the Disnye characters does a surprise zip line experience will leave you breathless.
No matter how many times you go, you will never be disappointed....grins.
Usually the first weekend of June each year is gay days..and OMG! It is "unspoken" but red tops are the "uni" of the day..and there are always many straights that happen to wear red that day as well. I went June 2007..it was my late wife's Last Wish request to go to Gay Days...so we spent a week there. It was an experience I will never forget..and a beautiful memory!
Go, be a kid, and enjoy it all...you will want to go back again.
Have fun....hugs..Clay
MY fave rides are It's A Small, Small world....and Peter Pan's Fantasy Flight.

Oh heck yes....and you've already had good advice.

I was a finalist (alas, did not make the final cut) to be an official Mickey Mom....but I am the unofficial Mickey Mom for my colleagues.

Definitely stay on the property...take the airport transportation (you don't even have to pick up your luggage, they'll deliver it to your room).

Use the bus system to get around...it's handy and no parking.

Go when they have the Free Dining option if you can....the parks are slower and you'll eat much better for far less money.

When you have a choice...go left. Most people go to the right.

Parades are fun...but the BEST time to get on the most popular rides is during the parade.

Go early in the morning...most people don't....then back to your hotel to nap and swim and enjoy the hot part of the day with leisure. You'll be back refreshed for evening fun and fireworks...while the rest of the crowd is cranky and footsore.

Bring several changes of shoes and swap them out when you go back to the hotel midday. Gives your feet a rest.

I have a list of busy and slow times (and days) at the parks....I'll share it with you once I get on my other computer.

Hollywood Studios and the waterparks are less walking than Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Alternate them to give your feet a rest.

We LOVE Coronado Springs. It's a moderate resort....with great dining options, a lovely pool and waterslide and a giant hot tub. It also has the big central pool, full of kid rowdiness, and "quiet pools" in the various sections that are open all night and more adult occupancy....no marco polo games when you want to lounge and float.

Enjoy!

durrrrrrrr · 02-25-2012, 11:35 AM

Disney ( at least last time i was there, which wasnt that long ago ) will let ya bring in your own snacks and drinks, water. may want to consider taking a backpack with ya with these items in there. Disney doesnt mind as long as your not bringing in a freakin store of supplies in.

I have a camelbak

http://www.camelbak.com/

that i am thinkin about takin with me next time i do something like this. when i wear this, i dont feel it at all. even when i am sitting down. the camelbak i have even has small pockets for keys, phone..etc etc.

bringing in your own snacks and a few drinks will help ya and save money

nycfem · 02-25-2012, 12:03 PM

I am a Disney freak! Let's have one of our Reunions there!

Seriously, great thread! I haven't been there in many years but would love to go back. Nothing like Disney!

A friend of mine started a facebook page called "Veg Disney" about veg/vegan/healthy dining options while at Disney. vegdisney@yahoo.com

Excellent idea! Even better, during Gay Day!

I spent many a Gay Day there, wow, it is amazing.

How about 2013 or 2014? I may actually consider going then.

Cuddles · 02-25-2012, 12:57 PM

I friggin' LOVE Disney World!!! It's the only perk of being a Floridian I enjoy!

One key thing to remember... if you're eating in the park or at the resort just know that it'll cost you double whatever you're expecting it to cost you!

With that being said I'll ONLY stay at the DW resorts when I go there now. You can get great deals on the rooms there now. Plus... since it's now costing $15 per park to park your car, you're saving a lot of money by staying in the Disney resorts. The shuttle buses run all day long (just not past like 11:30pm), plus they'll take you to Downtown Disney too.

I would go to any reunion in DW in a heartbeat. That's one place that no matter what's going on, a smile is on my face and the youngster in me is like a fat butch in a femme candy store!

You're going to have so much fun!

weatherboi · 02-25-2012, 01:43 PM

The monorail provides great transportation for hotel bar hopping during happy hour. They will not let you drive!

We've been to Gay Day a few times, and I would go back in a heartbeat. And you don't necessarily need to pony up for WD resort. Any hotel on the property (I think there are a couple run by Sheraton - Swan & Dolphin?) is going to have busses that will shuttle you all over the park.

Oh, we would absolutely go to a Reunion there.

Just make sure you pack it carefully in your suitcase 'cause you can't carry on a snowglobe.
