So... could you all help me out with suggestions, hints, tips, anything that might be of use? We're going from Sun. Oct. 12 to Thur Oct. 16. Four adults and a six year old girl (3 generations). Three years ago was the last trip for all of us. We have tickets for the Halloween party, plan to do a character meal (any suggestions?) and are staying at one of the hotels across the blvd (Dessert Inn). I'm an old hand at general tips for Disney, mainly I'm interested in anything concerning any changes over the past 3 years - new shows, rides, eating suggestions, things that are no longer there, etc. Thanks ever so much, I've always gotten great advice from this group, and am sure I will again.

The thing with the CD is you own the pictures and can print them. Tip though you can have more than one photopass card and just enter them all in together - Also anytime you get a card either write the number down or photograph the number on your camera - that way if you somehow misplace your card you can still retrieve the pix!

I always have guests tell me how easy and convenient it was for them. Also, if you end up having multiple cards, bring them to the photo shop and we can put them on 1 card for you. Again, have a great trip and hopefully I will see you at the Resort as I am working that whole week.
