    Are they going to bother fixing the Illuminations globe at this point?

    Sorry you think that. I have seen it open EVERY time we have been there recently. I have no reason to lie on something as trivial as this. See, this is one of the main reasons I stay off these types of boards. My experience differs so it must not be true. Or my experience did not live up to...

    How old are your oldest videos from WDW?

    Let me rephrase that ... I don't want to know where to get a VCR. Just need to get them transferred over to digital format so they will last a lot longer than on a tape. All of our movies, TV shows, etc. we watch have been converted over to digital and stored on external hard drives.

    Food and Wine Taste Sampler

    So the Taste Sampler for this year's Food & Wine is $69.23 (including tax). 8 tabs at $8.65 per tab. And there is no discount for buying two sets this year as there have been in past years. Somethings you CANNOT use the tabs on are: ALL Tasting Flights Artist Palette of Wine & Cheese Dom...

    How old are your oldest videos from WDW?

    1987 for us. Need to get them converted over to digital formats now. Not even sure where to get a VCR to watch them.

    Are they going to bother fixing the Illuminations globe at this point?

    Maybe and Maybe :) We'll be heading out to EPCOT for sure on Sunday evening (maybe sooner) for some Food & Wine fun. We'll be staying to watch Illuminations so I'll report back what happens during the show.

    Are they going to bother fixing the Illuminations globe at this point?

    Weird. We've been to EPCOT probably 7-10 times this month and Illuminations worked as normal every time we watched. The globe opened as normal. Were there on Wednesday or Thursday of last week (can't remember) and it worked as it should. Going tomorrow (maybe today after Typhoon) and if we stay...

    So we were sitting at Nomads Lounge at Animal yesterday grabbing an adult beverage waiting for our Avatar FP's and overheard this from a guest ordering a drink with a glowing drink cube deal in it. Asking a question to the bartender after ordering a drink ... "Are those water proof? It's...

    Sports Bar to watch MayMac fight

    The Buffalo Wild Wings on International Drive (behind Seaworld) shows every UFC PPV event and does not charge to get in that I have ever seen. They also do NOT take reservations so I would plan to get there early as possible if you plan to go to that location. I have watched several Boxing...

    Sports Bar to watch MayMac fight

    You will do better and cost less if you went to an off property spot to watch the fight. Something like The Ale House which has goodness knows how many TV's and loads more seating than any spot on Disney Property. They typically charge around $25.00 - $50.00 per person depending on the event...

    For those who have gone over Thanksgiving week

    It's a busy time of year for restaurants in general not just around the Disney area. But there are SO many options around here you should not have a hard time getting into restaurants with minimal wait times. As far as ADR's in Disney during that week ... I would take full advantage of advanced...

    Christmas in July

    WOW! Sorry that no one replied to this topic ... And now it's August. We go to Disney Springs a LOT and to be honest, I didn't even know they had this going on. They didn't do a very good job of announcing it or putting it on if most people didn't even know it was going on. I know/knew that had...

    Food and Wine Taste Sampler

    I've never seen either Tables, AP or DVC discounts offered on these. And I ask for Tables discounts on EVERYTHING! Even off property just to be funny!

    Anyone planning to wait at TGMR entrance tomorrow and enter at 9:29pm?

    It was. A few hundred people did it and they walked the entire ride with the ability to take as many pictures & videos as they would like. There was also the obligatory reception before and after as well with drinks, food, etc. It was fun.

    Anyone planning to wait at TGMR entrance tomorrow and enter at 9:29pm?

    Yes. It was a hard ticketed event allowing guests to walk through the attraction without the cars you ride in. It was put on, and several others for that matter, by one of the many unofficial Disney website people. I forgot how many actually did this type of event for The Great Movie Ride...

    RIP The Great Movie Ride

    Heading out there soon to ride The Great Movie Ride after hitting up EPCOT to ride Universe of Energy one last time as well. At least you can walk between the two parks so it won't be that bad trying to get to both them either driving or taking WDW transportation. The wait times are to be...

    What's Disney doing better now than it's done in the past?

    Yeah. I agree with you 100% there. I also believe they do not handle the stand by queues as well as they once did. I believe they give too many FP's right now. That's the reason (to me) the stand by queues are what they are like now. I understand to a point from Disney's side, though you'd think...

    Anyone planning to wait at TGMR entrance tomorrow and enter at 9:29pm?

    You and a LOT of others will be there I'm sure. We tried when Mr. Toads Wild Ride was closing and they had CM's there ushering people through that were "hanging around". Same thing happened at Malestrom too. We'll be there tomorrow & at EPCOT prior to ride Universe of Energy one more time.
