Those two aren't at resorts, they're both at Disney BM> Village Marketplace. You are quite correct, however I consider anything within reach of Disney Transportation {for people that don't rent cars} as being within reach of Disney, just a bad habit that I have. BM> I'm trying to arrange Internet access to this echo so that I can BM> post daily reports *live* from WDW. If you have the email address to the echo, or a way to get e-mail into it, you can try out the Sega presentations at Epcot and sent Internet mail. If not maybe you could send them to my E-mail account and I could upload them. [SNIP RESTARAUNTS] I have eaten at many of those, some I have never heard of...but you can bet I will be looking for them next time through. See my company has business contacts in Tampa, Orlando, Miami, etc. And I ofte go down there and since the company wants cheaper aitfare I have to stay a Saturday, so I fly down, finish my business on Thursday and go to Disney for Friday and Saturday {all at company expense}. So naturally I have a year pass.

Although it wasn't as long a visit as Bruce is taking, it is still the best place in the world to me. his past trip was our family's third in four years. Just had to go back for the twenty-fifth celebration since I first WDW back in late November 1971. We had lunch one day at the Crystal Palace and did get autographs from Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore. There was a wide selcetion of food to choose from and it was all very good. The price was a bit on the high side ($65 for 5 people), but it was worth every penny to see my girls' faces (9 and 6) when the characters came over. You forgot to mention my favorite place at MGM to eat - the 50's Prime Time Cafe. My wife an I ate there last year and decided that we had to tkae the kids the next time we went. The kids just couldn't figure out what mom and dad were carrying on the way we did. The really funny part was the kids seein ll the old TV shows. They see one and say "We saw that the other night on cable". Again, the food was excellent but the tab ($60) was a little high there too. The prices we paid were high but I consider part of the cost includes the atmosphere. There nothing like that DISNEY MAGIC! I guess the best part of the trip for me was riding up from in the monorail. As we were leaving MK, we decided to try and get a seat up front. The first one that came already had folks sitting up there and they were going on. However, the next monorail that came in was all ours. My son and oldest daughter rode up front from MK thru the Contempory over to the T&TC. Boy did we get some weird looks from folks at the Contempory :) We still had to get from the T&TC back over to EPCOT where we started our day so we decided to try again. As luck would have, we got the first monorail that pulled in going to EPCOT. This time, the wife and all 3 kids rode up front. Not much of a ride along the interstate but once inside EPCOT, it was fantastic. EPCOT had already closed for the day (it was about 11:30) so the park was empty except for cast members. However all of the lights were still on and the monorail made the big circle around Spaceship Earth and you could see everything. It was a beautiful site. When we got off at EPCOT, the rier gave us all our Pilot's License and even took a couple of photos of all of us in the front seat. I'll hold on to that picture for a long time! Well, I've taken up enough space so I'll bow out for now. I already making plans for the next visit (hopefully next year). Bruce - have a great time and ride the GM Test Track once for me (if it's open).
