"I am a new subscriber and am planning to book a room at the
Wilderness Lodge. I was wondering what the chances are of
upgrading there during our stay from April 7-11? Is that
considered a value season? I haven't found a listing of the
value vs. peak seasons anywhere. Are they included on your
web site?

Also, I need to make sure there are no animals mounted on
the walls at the lodge, as my 7-year-old will freak if there
are. Do you happen to know?

Finally, I am planning to book one of the deluxe resorts
mainly because I want super easy and fun transportation to
and from the Magic Kingdom for my 1 and a half year old. It
will make the trip much more fun (for all of us!) if he has
a boat or train to make the back and forth more exciting for
him. I did want to make sure there is not typically a long
wait for the boat from the hotel to the Magic Kingdom, as
that would defeat the purpose. Also, how long is the ride?

Thanks for answering my many questions. It is an adventure
just getting all this planned, and your tips are making it
easier!"

WL does have totem poles with carvings on them. I believe
they are of Disney characters. Can't remember if there are
any animal heads.

Deluxe resorts: Peak Season: February 17 - April 16. Chances
of an upgrade are slim or none. Yes, that info is in our
book.

The boat to the MK is slow going, especially during the busy
season. The bus can take a while, too. For speed and
comfort, try one of the hotels on the monorail line.

A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

Our Ticket agent has GREAT PRICES on tickets to Walt Disney
World and other Florida attractions!

"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even
being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years,
but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family
over $300!!! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD

"Plenty of roadside outfits in Orlando promise discounted
tickets, but most of them really want to rope you into a
time-share sales pitch in exchange for vouchers - accept at
your own risk. [Affordable Disney's ticket agent], though,
is legit." The New York Post, November 16, 2004.

FORGET paying too much for your Disney tickets! Keep that
extra money in YOUR pocket! Join our Disney family today.

"Hi John, I was hoping you could help me... My husband and I
have some old tickets from WDW from 2000. I know we have a
day or 2 left on them but don't know how many.. Do you know
if there is a way to find out how many days we have left on
the tickets. Thanx so much."

They will scan your tickets at WDW and tell you how many
days you have left.

Disney framed stock certificates are works of art. They
feature Walt Disney and the Disney characters. Unlike stock
brokers that require you to purchase several shares of
stock, OneShare sells one share of stock and mails you the
certificate. You can frame the stock certificate yourself or
OneShare will frame if for you at a nominal cost. Click here.
