Sounds like they went downhill.

I haven't been to WDW since 2000, but I had a good time. I would love to go back soon, any room in a suitcase for a cricket?

Are you going to go to Universal or IOA at all?

And take your kids to the Grand Canyon for crying out loud.

I was thoroughly unimpressed by Ohana when I ate there four or five years ago but a whole lot of people really like it.

Before making food recommendations, do you like the nicer dining or want to stick to the more mid-brow family dining stuff? Nothing wrong with either and good options in both categories, just wondering if California Grill is a recommendation worth making.

AAA has discounts for Universal Tickets too. I got an excellent deal last time.

IOA is amazing. WDW is awesome.

Food - Boma! at the AK lodge is incredible. The Plaza Rest. off of Main St. has great food and was rarely busy.

But, look for the threads from when I went in Oct. It helped alot.

Boma changed their banana bread pudding to something much inferior. So they're no longer on my must-have list for a WDW visit. They're still on Lani's though (she loves the soups).

No strong restaurant recommendations in Epcot but you can skip on the Mexico restaurant and the Germany one without any regrets.

I know - I already got L7 mojo for that.

Planning on just hitting the WDW parks and the Space Center. We have six days, but would like a day to redo stuff that we really liked. Also, my wife, who teaches geography and world history, might decide she's going to stay in Epcot the entire 6 days.

When the entire family went a few years ago, we set aside one day for "do overs" and each kid was able to choose an attraction to re-visit. I think that was their favorite part of the trip...

[scaeagles]

That has always been something we've tried to do....I think a lot of time the smaller ones in particular (6 and 8) are apprehensive, then really like it, then are bummed about no redos with anticipation of fun.

If funds hold up, I would recommend the "Keys to the kingdom" tour - you get a good tour of the park, get lunch, and see some seriously cool backstage stuff including walking through the Utilidors !!

PLEASE try to find HTHBellcaptain and see if you can tour HTH and make sure you meet up with Flippy, MF and any other bitter east coasters that can make it.

Oh, and see The American Adventure in EPCOT - it made me teary.

...and please don't miss out on at least one day at IOA.

...and don't feed the alligators.

I've not been since 1997, and we are going for our 20th wedding anniversary this year. I am WAY excited. I will be picking some brains before we leave too, for ideas! Plus, I have friends who have been recently, and will also pick theirs!
