I have to vote for the German buffet as well. Yum. Just found out we will be going this year for spring break. We were going to the beach but added another family and needed another time share condo and found openings in Orlando but not at the beach so Disney here we come!

It seems like there are quite a few posts about online contest and instant wins. I would like to suggest that a forum be started for just these posts.

We have used the passporter book and would recommend it. It provides, ratings, suggestions, plans for the day given different age ranges. Pages are removable so you can take just what you need with you. Contact and phone numbers are also listed which is helpful for reservations and cancelling reservations. It helped us alot. You will have to do some pre-planning and it does take some time and effort. If you aren't into that sort of thing, don't buy the book.

You can get conference rated tickets if there is a conference on or around your travel time. The only difference is that once you start to use the hopper passes, you must finish using them within 10 days of your first visit or they don't work anymore. They don't check to see if you are attending the conference. We bought these through a conference my brother-in-law attended. We ended up with a ticket we didn't use and sold it on e-bay. http://disneymeetings.disney.go.com/dwm/ticketpages/generalTicketGating?name=GeneralTicketGatingPage

You know when the large stores offer such deals and mark downs, it is hard as a consumer to not shop the offers. With family members in small retail businesses, it makes it harder and harder for them to compete. I can't feel sympathy for large box stores missing quota or not making profits when they are severely hurting the little guys who offer great knowledgable service but can't compete with the loss leader pricing.

I too enjoy the site. I just found it about a week ago. I want more deals!!! I want BF prices all the time.

I highly recommend Sam's Club and Sam's Club Online. I bought a digital camera almost a year ago. Still under warranty, it broke. I contacted Sam's about it and they said I could return it to them. I get a credit to my card, no questions asked. If you purchase online, your reciept is always there for you to print out so you don't have to keep track of those things.
