Brighter side Well, I don't mind making ADR's and am able to get much better dining experiences than I did before. I think the same thing is going to happen with this system. Next-Gen will start out with the X-Pass, which a small group of people (like me) will use and become absolutely...

Wait and see... That is all I have to say. You guys are such downers! I have enjoyed every single trip I have ever taken to Disney World, bar none. I wish I could go back to some of the fastpass threads from when it first open and find out how it was going to be terrible and a disaster. It...

Huh? I could not possibly disagree with you more. Money doesn't lie. Avatar made 36% as much as ALL THE HARRY POTTER MOVIES COMBINED. And there were 7 of them, ALL of which rank in the top 50 grossing movies of all time. Maybe we Disney World fanatics were not hugely impressed, but the...

Boys $$$ Disagree. My son is four and has been a constant pusher for Cars merchandise almost since birth. Every year for Christmas, birthday, etc. almost all he asks for is "Cars stuff". We were up playing in his room yesterday and I realized that he has 3 Maters, 2 Ramones, multiple...

Villas Wilderness Lodge Saratoga Springs (x3) Treehouse Villas Caribbean Beach Resort Coronado Springs Resort Contemporary (wing) Villas Wilderness Lodge We loved the Wilderness Lodge: themeing is great and access via boat to MK were the kickers. We stayed at the Treehouse Villas in December...

Wl! Make that three votes for WL! It is one of my favorite places, not just at WDW, but ever!

Color me amazed I was a bit skeptical but now totally in love. As for me the pics bring back memories of my time there with the kids, making me very emotional. It doesn't matter they're not my kids: the emotions on the little faces are just the same. Cannot wait to see in person. 254 days.

Yay Someone had that thread. Thanks! I wish I'd found the original thread earlier, because the last post on the first page mentions the flags in the lake. I will say, though, that they looked newer than October, so maybe there has been some additional work. Anyway, have a great day!

I am a frequent lurker and rare poster. I have read all the rumors and remember a page with drawings etc. of the River Country site but I cannot find the thread so I am posting new. Please do not blast: I am only reporting what I heard and saw. Last week I did a fishing cruise on Bay lake...

Check for B-Bugs I travel weekly for work and so am familiar with the procedure to check for the bugs. The best thing to look for is little black stains on the mattress, carpet, or furniture. When the little suckers eat the blood, it turns into black defecatory material....and it is the...

I don't get it. I really only understand this only if Epcot is your favorite Disney park and you don't go anywhere else. For me, the loss of LOW is more than offset by the Castle Dream Lights, which is by far the coolest holiday addition the parks have had in a long time. Combine that...

Lotr Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Spiderman 2. Toy Story 2. Godfather part 2. Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Kahn (not to mention the most recent Star Trek). The Bourne Supremacy. T2: Judgement Day. Batman: Dark Night. Sorry, but there are an awful lot of great sequels out there. I...

Patience I for one am holding on to a little bit of patience with this one, specifically because Disney just bought Marvel. Please note that Universal has the rights to ride applications for the marvel characters for a period of time...but then they revert to Marvel, I think in 2013. I expect...

Seconded Wilderness lodge. Although, if you are in the mood to splurge, you could get a turret room at The Grand Floridian. I hear they are amazing! :D

Philosophically Philisophically, the OP is hitting on the essence of the modernist to post-modernist transition. Disney was in every way a modernist. He believed in people, in right and wrong, in the idea that by dreaming humans can make the world a better place. Unfortunately (in my view)...

Anecdodal evidence But we went to the 12:15 p.m. show at our local theater today and it was PACKED with kids and parents. I think the movie is doing just fine thanks. I really enjoyed the film. It is not quite on the level of the all time classics but it is a beautiful film with a good...

Hot One word: HOT. It is HOT in August in Orlando.

Not too bad We have been twice in the first week in December (and lived there for a bit also) and are going back this year. The temps aren't too bad for the pools....the hop back to the room is pretty short and you aren't exposed to the breeze for very long. It can get very cold if you sit...

After a day of consideration.... I am not in alarm mode as most are. I trust Lassiter and the folks now running the parks. I have watched all the documentaries and read some books concerning these folks and do not believe he is going to let the parks get completely whacked. There have been...

Intelligence I think this is the most intelligent post of this whole thread.
