Does anybody know how the Skyliners get electricity and comms to the individual gondolas? At first I though maybe there is an onboard battery that is charged via a wiper as it goes through the station. But there is the ability to have emergency two way communication between the gondola and...

The title pretty much says it. Has there been any rumors, talk, or innuendo as to if 2023 F&W will bring back the various seminars, wine & food pairings, and other events that they used to have? I have park tickets that I will be using for my June trip. If I plan on going back for F&W in...

Kind of a strange question here. Has anybody every used the United Airside shuttle at Newark Airport (EWR) between Terminal A and C ? I never have because EWR is my home airport, so I naturally never have to transfer there. However, we will be flying our of EWR shortly, and United has recently...

For those who have done an Alaska cruise out of Seattle (or I guess any cruise out of Seattle), do you have a hotel recommendation. Looking from something with hotel shuttles or transfers between SeaTac to the hotel and then from the hotel to the port. Also, if you were flying in from the east...

Normally this is the sort of stuff I have no issues figuring out on my own, but if somebody can explain the details on this, I will greatly appreciate it. I had a DVC reservation at Hilton Head the end of this month, which I canceled - clearly I did not have park tickets for this reservation...

My wife and I went to F&W over "Jersey Weekend" (Wed Nov 6 - Sun Nov 10) and I figured I would summarize our trip. We went for Food and Wine, and not much else. The only park we entered was Epcot. We did go to Disney Springs one day. We do this every other year or so, and try to cram in as...

I know people have been saying that it is getting harder and harder to book rooms at the last minute, however I have never seen it like this. My wife and I were talking last week and said we really need to get away. We looked at some flights and they were dirt cheap (well, cheaper than they...

While reading all of these threads going on about people walking in dates, and buying where they want to stay, and buying for value a though hit me. Has anybody who owned at say SSR used a company such as David's to rent out their points, while at the same time renting points at somewhere such...

We not really broken, but what are the chances of this happening? We arrive at MK last Thursday and go directly to Haunted Mansion Ride Haunted Manston, and sit in the graveyard for 10 minutes before the ride restarts. Head over to People Mover, about to get on the ramp up, and are told it is...

Just a heads up - registration for the Typhoon Lagoon moonlight magic event is now open for people with on property reservations (I got mine :-) ). IBooking is open to all members on April 6. -dave

We - meaning my wife and I and 2 or 3 children will be at WDW this year over July 4th. We really don't want to do the full on insane "get into a park early and camp out and fight the crowds to see fireworks and then get caught in the mob that is leaving" thing, but it would be nice if we could...

I belong to a DVC group on Facebook. One of the members there posted a picture of a receipt from Cape May She had ordered a sweet tea, while someone else in the party ordered unsweetened iced tea. She had a charge on her bill for an extra 50 cents for "sugar cane syrup flavoring" As she...

Maybe DCL will see this (and if they do, I am doubtful anything will happen). I just can't take the price of DCL anymore. My wife and I just booked a 7 night Celebrity cruise out of Bayonne to Bermuda. With perks and discounts it came to $3,100- total, for an ocean view stateroom. Bayonne...

Last Sunday (June 22) the Illuminations globe was non-functioning. There were a few sporadic bursts of LED action and then nothing - it remained dark the entire show. (spinning, opening, and fire all worked, just no LEDs). I looked, but don't see any other threads on the subject - anybody...

This last Friday (June 27) we decided we would eat dinner at the Turf Club. We were looking for a 6:00 PM reservation. I called at about10:00 AM, and Disney Dining offered me two times. 5:15 and 8:00 - I took 5:15. At 5:15 we went to check in, and there was a grand total of 6 people (NOT 6...

We ate dinner at BOG last week - on a walk up with only 15 minutes wait (so that was a suprise) We totally did not plan on eating there, but 4 out of the 5 in our group were at the end of their rope (Me, I never stop) and were looking for someplace to eat. Just for the heck of it, I asked, and...

We just got back from a week in a treehouse villa (June 21 - 28 , 2014). Just some thoughts. - Nice units, love the layout, and plenty of space. - Apparently the fold out couch is not too comfortable - I didn't sleep on it, but others did. - We were in a handicapped accesable unit, so we...

I know that you can (or a least could) bridge a discounted ticket to an AP. Buy a discounted ticket for $45 off of face value, enter the park with it to "lock in" the value, and then upgrade it to an AP and get the full value of the ticket. My question is, can I do the same thing, but only...

We just got back from our F&W trip. Three seminars, many tastings, and a dinner at V&A over 3 days - whew. When I get the time I'll post some comments (seeing as F&W ended yesterday, that's not very helpfull) however there is one dish that I just cannot get off my mind. It was the fish...

Just needed to celebrate/brag. My wife and I wanted to take an adults only trip for F&W (not the first time we have done so). However, because she is a teacher, the only time we can go is during "Jersey Weekend" - for those who don't know, all NJ Teachers have a 4 day weekend in November. It is...
