When I booked our sept trip, I did it online. I thought I unchecked the vacation insurance. Anyone know if I can have that taken off if I called them up?

Disney mamas, I need advice on whether or not this is a good value:

It's a promotional package through AAA. $1558.94 for 2 adults and 3 children ages 5,3,& infant at Allstar Movies in a preferred room with 7 day base ticket Plus free dining.

Dates: September 15, 2009 to September 21, 2009 (total of 6 nights)

I know that I want the "free" dining, and that we don't need the Park Hopper (kids can only handle one park per day at this age!). I don't know anything about whether the All Star Movies Value Resort is a dump or a decent place, and I don't know if the total price is a good deal overall. This will be our first Disney adventure, so I'm very nervous about making a mistake!

Smithie - We usually stay offsite, so I dont know too much about the onsite prices. We stayed at allstar sports one year and it was ok. I am used to resorts with bigger rooms/kitchen/etc. But I did love the transportation.
FWIW, I have always done the parkhopper, even with the little ones. The studios (for us) dont have enough for the whole day, and we like the flexibility.

Disneyland in three days!

I'm so glad I found this thread again

We are taking a much needed vacation to Disneyland in three days. We are staying at a good neighbor hotel, and will have five whole days to "conquer all the lands" as my son says

seems okay to me but I'm new to this too. We are paying 1574 and change for 8 nights + 8 day passes with the dining plan at the all star resort at the end of sept. My kids will be 3, 2 and 10 mos at the time and we got park hopper passes.

Disney freak hoping to be Mama soon

Hi, I am not yet a mom- working on it- but love Disney. I was looking for a tribe and thought that this might be "the one". I own nearly 900 videos, collect art, have a Figment and Elliot collection, even own Disney stock. Nice to meet you all!

when you ride the bus transportation what do you do with strollers? do they go underneath or on the bus with you?

would a bugaboo be hard to deal with....because it does not fold flat and only disassembles into 2 pieces
post #772 of 817

it goes on the bus. it might be hard to deal with - depends on how crowded the bus is
post #773 of 817
8/16/09 at 10:29pm
if it is not too crowded do you have room just to roll the stroller on without folding it up?

if it is not too crowded, yes, you should have room - especially up by the handicap section for the wheelchairs... you can also take the stroller right on the monorails, definitely

hmmm favorite memory or suggestion - not sure. we went for my birthday - which was great... best place to be on your birthday

we had such a great time we are going back for 2 nights in 6 weeks LOL

we just stayed at ASmovies and the rooms were tiny... we only stayed for 2 nights and my parents took 1 boy - no way could we have had all 3 in the room (which we've done at POP (shhh))

Hi All! I posted a long time ago. DW and I went on an all-out honeymoon last September. Deluxe everything. FABULOUS!

Apparently DW can't go more than a year between trips so we're heading back this December. But we're doing it on a budget. Staying at Pop Century for 6 days, 5 nights, only counter service dining plan. Only two Park Hoppers (two parks each day). We're going to spend one of the days at Sea World. Should be fun! Can't wait!!! She got it all for a steal. Everything with airfare from CA for $800. She always finds a way to buy Park Hopper tickets on Ebay and then re-sell them for more than she paid, so our Park Hoppers end up being like $50 each.

It'll be interesting because this will be my third time. The first time we did it all on the moderate level. Port Orleans, regular dining plan. Second time was the deluxe version and now this time will be the budget version. It will be interesting to compare them all and see what is really worth it and what can be scrimped on.

Also, the Disney family is opening a Walt Disney Museum here in San Francisco next month. DW scored free tickets on the premiere weekend, before it opens to the public. The tickets for that weekend run $500 each! CRAZY! Not sure why they are so expensive, but we're going and I can't wait!!!!

: we're on all the same threads today LOL (well maybe not alll - I haven't checked to see where else you've posted outside of TV haha)

I think you'll love POP - it's very very "disney" IYKWIM... personally I'd rather stay there than a moderate.

we are going deluxe on this next trip (6 more weeks! yay!) - just 2 nights... staying at YC. it's only our 2nd time at a deluxe - 1st was AKL right when it opened - they had a terrific deal for floridians...

actually we stayed at the Contemporary when Disney first opened in 1972 or 3 but I'm not sure if it was so "deluxe" back then.... or maybe it was? I was only 5, who knows? lol

HI! I know you're just MDC stalking me. Love it! It feels like my life is TV and Disney. Just kiddin.

Good to know about POP. Definitely looking forward to it. We're going to try and stay in the 80's decade. Totally up our alley! I hear they are making an "older century" a part of the hotel soon, like early 1900 or something. That should be interesting.

Have a great time on your deluxe stay! YC should be great! You're lucky to live near, except for the humidity! No thank you. I'm sure we'll end up retiring there and work part time at Disney. That's DW's dream, anyway.

the legendary years... it's just a shell of a few buildings unfortunately not to rain on the rah rah disney parade but that was definitely one place they messed up IMO a little less dvc - a little more value - especially if it could fit larger families, maybe suites.... sigh.

you can see them if you walk past the pool on the path...

there are a lot of rumors as to why they stopped building but I am not holding my breath that they'll ever start again

ETA - the buildings have been there for 8 years

ps - you mean life *isn't* all TV and Disney??
