    Skipper Canteen, what's the wait like to get a table?

    There is something just kind of off about the whole restaurant. I can't quite put my finger on it either. My sister and I tried it this past Monday. Magic Kingdom was unusually busy (60+ minute waits for Space, Big Thunder, Peter Pan) and we expected a long and painful wait for dinner at...

    World of Disney expansion

    I am so happy to see that CMs got a new uniform. I was really hoping that with all the renovations happening that they would get the poor CMs out of 1995 and into this decade. The new checkouts are fantastic. So much more organized and easier to navigate.

    Uber

    I suppose service roads and backstage areas could pose a problem around Disney property. One time I did have Google Maps take me to a pickup location and I was one street over from where I needed to be. The riders house was on a cul de sac that backed up to another cul de sac. I guess the...

    Train refurb in Germany?

    Interesting. I had no idea. I always wondered what kept the train running all day. I love watching the trains go round and round.

    Train refurb in Germany?

    That's kind of how I figured the procedure went. It's a relatively small piece of an otherwise enormous compilation of attractions. Maybe they just call in a model railroad expert when something breaks or it is time for a refurb.

    Train refurb in Germany?

    I've always wondered this. Is there a CM specifically assigned to turning the trains on and off every day? I can't imagine that they leave it running 24/7. Who fixes it if a train de-rails? I doubt this is something that just a random Germany CM is tasked with. There must be a train...

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    I do wish it was better. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant but I can't justify spending money on what is very likely to be a horrible meal.

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    Oh. This reminded me of the disgusting strip steak I had at Coral Reef. I wasn't brave enough to try seafood there as I knew the food quality there is questionable at best. I figured the worst that could happen to a steak would be it getting over or under cooked. Wrong. It was overcooked (I...

    Uber

    I don't understand how an Uber driver can get lost as long as the rider drops the pin in the right spot and gives the correct address of their destination. The Uber app makes it so easy to just switch over to Google Maps/Waze/etc and drive directly to the rider. I've picked up and driven...

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    We'll probably just end up at Studio Catering Co like we normally do. I'm calling this trip "Adventures in Counter Service." I'm on an extremely tight budget this trip so we are not eating any TS. It's going to be 100% counter service and snacks from home. I've been studying CS menus and...

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    I am glad I am finding this out about the Fish and Chips at ABC Commissary now. It was one of the places I had considered going during my trip next week. It's likely I would have ordered the Fish and Chips too. Figured they would be like the Columbia HH ones that are pretty decent. Crisis...

    2015 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

    This is exactly what happened to me last year at the late Boo To You parade. I found a spot on a curb about 45 minutes before the parade started. I was on a solo adventure at this point in the evening and just hung out and waited for the parade. About 5 minutes before the parade started a...

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    When I decided on the pasta station that day I had no idea what I was getting into. It never crossed my mind that pasta with alfredo sauce could go that badly. I've had alfredo sauce elsewhere on Disney property and never had an issue. I'll never try that particular station again. Way too...

    Tables in Wonderland - worth it for my plans?

    I agree that these numbers seem off. I have had TiW for years. The last time I bought a card was August 2014. I kept notes on every meal that I used the card for. During August 2014 I had a 6 day trip with 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Our discount with TiW ranged from $17-$38 per meal. I have...

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    Last winter I stayed at POR and grabbed lunch at the food court. I went to the create your own Pasta station. I ordered linguini with chicken and broccoli with the white Alfredo sauce. Horrible. The chicken was so disgusting (parts still raw), the Alfredo sauce was basically white water...

    Uber

    I had to provide my own insurance information to Uber when I applied to be a driver. I was not required to notify my insurance company that I will be using my car for commercial purposes. However each trip is covered by Uber's insurance policy to some extent. The name of the insurance company...

    Art of Animation Questions (first timer in WDW)

    The whole Little Mermaid section is far from everything but the buildings themselves are close together so being in one building versus another doesn't make much difference. The last time I stayed there we happened to get the room that is the closest possible room to the rest of the resort...

    Uber

    I drive for Uber in NJ and we definitely make a lot more than Orlando area drivers. Not sure why that is especially since I always find gas is cheaper at home than it is in FL. I wouldn't think twice about using Uber to get around WDW. If I hadn't already booked a rental car for my upcoming...

    PHOTOS - Electric Vehicle charging now available at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Reading all of this is making me really wonder why people fork over thousands of dollars for electric vehicles. Seems like a lot of effort to make sure your car is actually driveable for the distance you want to go. Seems like it takes some spontaneity out of going places. Can't go too far...

    Pecos Bill Cafe closing for short refurbishment to launch new menu

    While I am disappointed that I will no longer be able to eat at Pecos Bill (I would never consume anything on the menu...yuck!) I appreciate WDWs efforts to serve a more diverse selection of food. I will definitely miss the old Pecos Bill menu. I'm sitting here reading through all the other...
