I'm a brand new member here, but not to message boards in general (been a very active member of a breast cancer support board for several years.) Anyway, I haven't had a need to post yet because I know how to use the search feature, and have been able to find all of the answers I needed for our first family trip to Disney World. This will be my husband's and my 1st trip since we were teens (my last time was my high school senior trip, his was with his parents.) We are bringing our three kids and our moms - my mom is staying with us in a family suite at All Stars Music, and my MIL is staying in her own room because she needs a real bed due to back problems.
Anyway, as I said, I was able to answer all my own questions by using the search feature (where, by the way, I learned that pool hopping is not allwoed, something I never would have guessed otherwise since most resorts I have stayed at allow guests to use the facilities at their sister resorts. BTW, this puts a huge wrench in my plan to have lunch at Whispering Canyon, take the kids swimming, then go to the campfire sing-a-long. As we will have a rental car, we can obviously drive back to our resort to swim; it just would have been more convenient to use the pool at Wilderness Lodge. Oh well, no biggie.)
Anyway, my reason for writing... I'm wondering why there are topics here that are taboo. I, as an active member at another message board, understand how to use the search feature and thus wouldn't waste time asking a question that has already been asked. However, I am pretty sure that a lot of people asking these taboo questions are not just newbies here, but newbies to message boards in general, and may not know how to use the search feature (or even that it exists.) Isn't one of the main purposes of this board to give info to people that have questions about their upcoming vacation?
Anyway, it was just something I was wondering as I read through this thread (which, by the way, I found by searching for "pool hopping" info!)
