Ok Disney Junkies I need some advice. I guess I'm not really a Disney Junkie yet but I sure want to be. I've been to Disney World once in high school for a cheerleading...

The dogs, I would suggest renting off property, I've never brought animals with me so you could call and check out the prices & such and see what best fits you. As far as food, go to allears.net , they have all the restaurants for the parks & resorts & what they have :) I personally love fall in Disney, there's not too much sun, honestly if you don't mind cooler temps this time of year is GREAT. It got about a low of 30 ish tonight but nothing a sweater couldn't fix :) And as far as the disability, if walking is THAT big of a deal, they rent scooters, like the ones you see in grocery stores and such, that was awhile back. Or a wheelchair, most rides are easily accessible for handicapped people so that won't be a problem at all :)

We have 2 cats so it's a little different for us but I have a fantastic friend that house & kitty sits while we are away. I had only stayed on property until this last trip. We split it 1/2 and 1/2. while it was really close to Disney, 12 mins from driveway to gate, it still wasn't as magical as when we only stayed on property. IMO To be all inclusive in WDW is AMAZING! You don't drive, cook, clean so to speak....a true vacation. With a family of 5 you would have to stay at a moderate resort or get a suite at a value resort. All Star Music has suites. I have yet to stay at one of the moderates but we are looking into Caribbean Beach for our trip next year. Looks absolutely beautiful. We love the dining plan. I have an Autistic son who is a very picky eater and we have found something for him to eat at all the wonderful places everyone recommends. I have an allergy to tree nuts as well. So we send over that info to Disney Dining and the Chef comes out and talks about options for you. A Chef has also tailor made a dinner for my son at Cinderella's Royal Table because he wouldn't touch any of the options with a 10 ft pole, even at 22 years old. I spent MANY hours on allears researching restaurants and menus before our first trip 4 years ago. I think you will find plenty of options even for the pickiest of eaters! If you see a steak that has all this fru fru stuff all over and you don't want it just order it w/o all that stuff. Easy. I would start planning your trip right away. We usually do a year in advance. You can put down $200 to reserve your room and dates, then you pay as much as you want as often as you want. To be paid off in full 30 days before your trip. Disney lay away I call it. They also have a new vacation savings acct that I haven't looked into yet. You can also change dates or move the vacation if you need to up until 45 days before travel. Happy Planning!

I do it understand the way unforseen disaster worries. I did it for our first trip 4 year ago. Knowledge is power. I would bring the snacks you know he likes. I even brought a jar of pb and jelly and purchased bread in resort store. Coz I knew at least he would eat that. we don't do that anymore. Plus if you need to go off site for any emergencies Disney is very accommodating and there is always a taxi. Study all ears.net it is a wealth of knowledge from resorts to parks to menus. It will ease your fears. Also the moms panel is fantastic! Disneyparksmomspanel.Disney.go.com

A great program we use for boarding/pet sitting is sleep over rover. Www.sleepoverrover.com my dog loved them. They put the dogs up in house not kennels. Second I would say the best time for you to go would probably be feb mar. Less crowds, sun not as bad. Make sure you rent a scooter (with a shade) so that you can rest and enjoy your time.

for your lupus they make uv shirts and llbean and rei and columbia all make different kinds. Some are really light weight for the heat. A hat and plenty of water. I would go early apring march no later than may or october or november. All ears.net has a full list of all menu's.

You will still have problems finding property to take pets. Especially four. Allears.net has great information and menus.
Can anyone recommend a good restaurant in the french quarter of new Orleans?

Marni. Sorry to hear. Prima facie evidence of the Fall. The First Couple had the privilege/opportunity of working and dining together. ;)

Alex Rachel's recommendation is a real winner. NOLA's is top notch from Emeril Lagasse.
Alex C. replied:
Thanks everyone. I opted for a burger tonight so I could watch the game (not an option at The Gumbo Shoppe). Might look for NOLA's another day. Gdnight!
Sorry, a memory from a Kenner restaurant. Brewer's on Williams Blvd.
I would get a seafood muffaletta at least twice a week. It was delicious.
Anyone else?
Lynn F. replied:
Never Brewers but Kenner Seafood on Loyola every Friday night for years.
