In regards to MGM, most of the shows end early...so check the times to make sure you aren't there at night with everything closed.

Oh thanks for telling me! I never thought about that. The main thing we were going to do there is Playhouse Disney. I'll have to check that out.

We went 2 summers ago in July with our then 12 & 9 year olds, we were there for 8 days and went to one of the parks every day we were there for most of the morning and day. We were exhausted at the end of the week, we knew we would be, so we had planned an extra week after the Disney trip to go straight to Clear Water Beach for a week to really relax. One week for the kids and one week for Mom and Dad. It was sooo hot, I lost 7 lbs. while I was there, I guess from the heat and walking all day too. I gave up on the wearing makeup, thank god I had a tan, LOL, just melted off. I would rather have heat than cold, so I really didn't mind the high temperatures. The water themed parks were fabulous, my boys could have spent every day at those. Of course with a 13 month old not sure if he/she would enjoy it. There were lots of slides, but they had lazy rivers too which you could have your toddler ride on tube with you in that. Like everyone said taking extra cash is best, you never know what you may find there. Plus I always relax better not having to worry if I brought enough. Have a fun and safe trip!

I just asked my Husband and he said we spent a little over a hundred dollars a day for souviners.. Also he sad to remind you this year the dining plan doesnt cover tips (which sucks) so you have to take money for that

That would be neat staying at one of those two. We love CBR so much I have a hard time wanting to stay at another resort. Hubby wants to try the deluxes after this trip. I think I would like WL.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Playhouse Disney is an early shows only attraction. Same with everything in the Backlot Tour area and the Beauty and the Beast stage show.

Chachi...are you going for a MNSSHP in Oct?

Yes we went last year and loved it so we are definitely going this year. My Husband and daughter have costumes but I have to get mine. The bummer is every year when we go down our anniversary falls when we are down there so we usually go out to eat and go to Pleasure Island. This yea we shortened our October trip so we wont be there on our Anniversary

BamaFan121s · 02-27-2008, 10:51 AM

Aww...that stinks. We're going to a MNSSHP, just don't know which one yet...have to wait on dates and the school's announcement of when DD is out for fall break. Going to fly down Thurs PM and back Sun PM...just a short trip.

It is well worth it. Everything revolves around the villians. They put on a real good show in front of the castle then the villains come out in the audience. The villians also walk around the park. The parade revolves around the villians also. The kids trick or treat through the park

My hubby would love that!

chachi · 02-27-2008, 11:10 AM

It is just different than being there on a regular day. I am looking for a malicifent or evil queen costume to wear

got an answer for you:

Go to the top where the colored tabs are and select the park...scroll down and find the show times. Now if this link sucks, don't blame me...I got it from someone else.

Sounds awesome from evrything I've heard and the pics I've seen. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that they have one a night when we will be there (Oct 10, 11th or 12th)

I love Maleficent...you just don't see enough of her either!
