    Coronado... The good the bad...

    Because CSR is the only moderates that has a conference center attached, it attracts a larger number of business travelers. As a result, it can sometimes feel a little less magical than some of the other moderates. I noticed this most in the breeze ways where there were often people out...

    ABC News Vault--Epcot Opening Video

    It's amazing to see the part with the trees so short! Great find! My first trip to Epoct was in '86. I truely do miss some of it's more educational magic. In my mind, nothing will beat the suspension of reality that was Seabase Alpha. But seeing the part now through my son's two year old...

    SM update 11/12 - Astronauts are back to work!

    Yes they do look very Daft Punk. Maybe they'll do the next soundtrack.

    Fastest Route from Animal Kingdom to Ecpot for Illuminations

    Or to Boardwalk and walk over. Whichever bus comes first... or whichever bus stop.

    I saw monorail teal!!!

    There is a white cut out in the colored stripe under the large window in the middle of each car. The delta shape is on the two (now three) trains that might get confused with other colors. All other trains have a continuous color stripe from nose to tail. Coral has the white delta under the...

    Terra-Cotta Mouseketeers

    I searched to see if anyone posted this article from the Onion. Thought it was silly and cute in the way only the Onion can be. http://www.theonion.com/content/news/legion_of_terra_cotta_mouseketeers

    What's Up With Splash Mountain?

    I think I know what the OP means by this. End of March I rode Splash. When on the drop that goes from one level of the laughing place to the very lowest level (with pop-up gophers), there was a curtain or scrim or something pulled back or missing that let you seen into the mountain. So...

    boardwalk inn

    Since you have a standard room, see if you can request an upper floor with a good view of Epcot. My wife and I stayed at the Boardwalk Inn for our 3rd anniversary. We had a top floor room that looked out over the garden courtyard (standard view) on the side opposite of the lake. It's...

    Any Monorail Expansion Updates?

    President Obama for Monorail Expansion I walked by the TV today in the break room at my offive when President Obama was announcing his high speed rail plan. I only caught a breif bit of it when he was talking about how in the long run it was less expensive to build rails than to build more...

    Balance of best commute to MK v. price - where to stay?

    Boats from WL My family was at Wilderness Lodge the last week of March this year. We made extensive use of the boats back and forth to MK. We chose WL specifically for the reasons you stated. We wanted quick access to MK but didn't want to spend the money for a monorail resort. The wait...

    Rebranding Pop Century?

    Oh my wife is gonna hate this "news". She's never been a big fan of the All-Stars because they are uber-Disney cartoon focused. She loved the Pop Century theme when we first heard about it from our bus driver on our honeymoon. She enjoys being able to stay at a value resort and see something...

    Hotel inside the parks?

    It's not just about the room, but also the room to make it look like it fits in. You could try to have very small hotels at Epcot in World Showcase but they wouldn't allow for very wide frontage with views into the park. DHS could be a better fit. You could try and build a hotel themed to fit...

    Has anyone seen one of these before?

    I can't recall seeing any tire covers. I did a quick google search and came up with this craigslist posting http://newjersey.craigslist.org/clt/844286170.html If you don't find one, you can get one custom made. There are lots of companies that will do that.

    Space Mountain - Question

    Ok, assuming they did take SM down to massively overhaul/gut, what would they do with the TTA? Would they close it down too? Would they construct a cover over the current TTA track? Would they run the TTA vehicles it along the storage track siding along the perimeter of SM with some new...

    HELP! Ideas for a short notice "memory trip"

    I had thought of that, but they are staying at Swan and Dolphin so they won't quite have that extra Disney Magic. DOH! Dunno why I didn't think of that before! Thanks everyone for some great ideas!

    HELP! Ideas for a short notice "memory trip"

    My wife's cousin has been given a "memory trip" to Disney World by the Jack and Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation. She has been fighting breast cancer for two years now and it has spread to other parts of her body. They are getting an all expenses trip to the World for three days in October...

    Oh yea... they could give it a kinda futuristic theme, like it was an undersea research base or something. :shrug:

    La Marina at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort to become seasonal

    A little off subject, but try renting a Sea Raycer at Poly, GF, or Contemporary instead. It's not as easy to get to as just walking from your resort room, but the Bay Lake/Seven Seas resorts offer a lot more water to explore. It's a great way to spend an afternoon. And it's probably the only...

    Gasoline - hard to get in Orlando?

    Partly yes, North Georgia does have special low sulfur fuel requirements. The EPA has granted a waiver to allow higher sulfur fuels in North Georgia to help reduce shortages after Ike. But like anything else in the real world, the problem is much more complicated than just that. One a...
