"Do you or your family know anyone who has stayed at the Hampton Inn at Lake Buena Vista near WDW? I would appreciate any input. I would greatly appreciate any advice. I have been searching thru all of your wonderful information. Thanks for everything."

"John, Just had to write you and thank you for all the tips I got from your book. We stayed at the Port Orleans Riverside and just loved it. We stayed in the Oak Manor which you recommended in your book. We had a view of the pool out one window and a view of the river out the other... The tips in your book saved us so much money."

Thanks, Joni, for your generous comments.

"I was wondering can you tell something about the port orleans riverside. If you have pics of the resorts. Which section has the nicest rooms and quite pools. We are 2 families of 4 traveling in may. We each have 2 daughters ages ranging from 8-5. And also what's the best thing on that resort to do. We both have stayed at the coronado springs and caribbean beach. How does this resort compare to them. Once again all your help is so much appreciated. Just sitting back a waiting for those awesome deals to come through."

"I am planning a vacation to disneyworld this summer and plan to take my dog along with the family? Do you have any information on the kennels located in the resort? Info like cost, care of pets, and restrictions as far as vaccinations for the animals?"

Kennels are located at the Transportation and Ticket Center at the Magic Kingdom and at the entrances to Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

Fees: $6 per day and/or $9 per night per animal for Resort guests and $6 per day or $11 per night for those staying off property. You must visit your pets at least once a day. Dog owners must walk their dogs twice daily. Puppies must be walked three times a day.

Kennel space is not guaranteed with your reservation. Ask for availability when you book your room. Disney's kennels also accommodate birds, rodents, ferrets, and non-poisonous snakes. Animals must be in a carrier. No exotic animals are allowed.

Kennels require cats and dogs to have a vaccination certificate. The document must be signed by a licensed veterinarian. Dogs must be vaccinated for rabies, parvo, DHLP, and Bordetella; cats for rabies and FPRC.

Disney has designated certain full hook-up campsites at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for visitors with pets. Disney charges $5.00 per day per site (not per pet). Those staying in pop-up campers and tents must keep their pets in kennels.

Visitors with pets are expected to abide by the following rules:

  • You must always keep your pet in the pet loop area

  • You can only walk your pet along the canal and you must clean up after your pet

  • Pets must be leashed or tethered at all times. Tethers must be less than 8 feet long

  • You may not leave your pet unattended. This causes your pets to bark and whine which disturbs others.

  • No pets are allowed in the electric

For information, call 407/824-6568.

While having dinner at the English Pub, staff spotted that they were newly married and promptly gave them a free bottle of Champagne and the best seat in the house to watch the Show Illuminations. great stuff."

"We were originally going to stay at the Port Orleans Riverside in the mansion section, at least that was what we wanted to. We are now considering staying at the Caribbean Beach. We have stayed there before but we where so far away from anything that we did not get to really enjoy anything. The only thing that was past us was employee parking. I was wondering if you know where the smoking and non-smoking buildings are. Barbados and Martinique look nice. We like to stay near a quite pool. Any help once again we would be much thankful. Looking forward to reading all your great info!"

All buildings have some rooms set aside for smokers. Each village has its own pool, so I would choose the secluded buildings: Aruba and Jamaica. Choose Aruba to be close to Old Port Royale, where the eateries are located.

Shades of Green, the WDW resort reserved for the military, is owned by the Army's Community and Family Support Center in Alexandria, Va. which also owns resorts in Hawaii, Germany and South Korea. Disney sold the resort to the Army in 1993 for $43 million. Disney still owns the land which it has leased to the Army for 100 years. The 500 workers employed there work for the Army, not Disney.

"I read in one of your updates about the Pirate Cruise at the Grand Floridian. Would you please let me know how to make reservations, how far in advance you can make reservations, and the cost for two adults and two children (ages 5 and 7)? ... Thank you for your help. I am really enjoying the updates and book."

The Pirate Cruise is for kids only. Children must be potty trained and 3-10 years of age. All visitors, including those staying outside Disney property, can take advantage of the cruise.

"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.

Lori writes: "It books up pretty fast and I was able to sweet talk my way into a spot for our little guy! The cost is $24.95 + tax and includes lunch, a story about a true FL pirate, a cruise around the lagoon on their TREASURE HUNT, they get to bring home their treasures and they dress up as little pirates. (There is also a lifeguard who is along on their journey)... Advise people to call early (like Cinderella Breakfast early) and to keep calling back for cancellations."

The Pirate Cruise takes place Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 12 noon. Make your reservations 120 days in advance by calling 407/WDW-DINE. Glad you are enjoying the book and newsletter!
