I just booked a car last week through Priceline for our Disney trip, which begins this coming Saturday. I got a minivan from Alamo for $25 a day for 8 days. That was my first bid. Of course, now I'm kicking myself for not bidding lower to begin with. I never thought that one would be accepted...

So, which parks have opening shows with characters now? Just MK and AK? I read on another thread that the AK opening show is getting the ax at the end of the month. Never been to DS at opening. Do they have a show?

Does this mean... ...that we can expect AK to be a zoo (pun intended) during the weekends that the show preview is going on? Seriously, will the crowds be crazy for a preview like this?

I am heading to the World for a quick trip for the weekend of November 3. I know that the Food and Wine Festival will still be taking place. Is Epcot just a madhouse during the Festival? I don't plan on hitting the World Showcase because of time constraints, but I would like to do the rounds...

I am sorry for posting this here, but I've been searching for somewhere to gripe on the DisneyonIce site for about thirty minutes. My wife and I purchased tickets to this event in our town, along with our next door neighbors and their two year old daughter, for this past Saturday night. We...

I don't know about anyone else, but I was really turned off by Universal's "Express Plus" pass system. We were there earlier this month, and the lines were two or three times longer than they should have been, all because of that awful system. First, it's a poor value: roughly $25 for one...

While waiting in line for TOT this weekend, I started studying the building. At the risk of sounding like Tiny Elvis, "That thang is huuuuge." Does anyone know if there are other Disney facilities in the building besides the ride itself? I realize that the queue inside takes up some room...

I was at the World on Friday and Saturday. I saw Space Mountain queues as long as 60 minutes, and Thunder Mountain queues as long as 50 minutes. We even had to wait 30 minutes to ride Pirates! Soarin' was 110 minutes at one point on Saturday around 12:00 p.m. RNR and TOT were both 45 minutes...

Walk in and Win show I have some tickets for the Thursday taping, but my friends and I are considering giving the "Walk in and Win" a try on Saturday? Is this a first for MGM? If not, has anyone ever been? What are the crowds like for the "Walk in and Win"? Do we need to get there super...

I know that this is not a trip planning board, but folks keep mentioning these huge waits for Soarin'. I am heading to Epcot on January 14, which is the Saturday before MLK day. Should I expect a long wait for the ride? Thanks for any input!

Actually, didn't Rowling just announce that Potter will die in the next installment? Sounds like Harry's fate has already been determined...
