At the same time you can book the DLP hotels on Expedia (without tickets) for 179 € for Newport Bay Club. Also, the official packages are always a question of which discounts are currently being offered.

It always gets me slightly upset when a CM on the Kilimanjaro Safari tells me that the Okapi is so rare that it wasn’t discovered until the 20th century. They omit to say “by white men“. Of course the locals knew about it!!

Judging Discovery on the pilot alone is really not wise. I am aware that the way it is broadcast in the US set the show up for that. However the pilot is really much more of a prologue. I watched the fourth episode now and I am hooked. It feels far more modern than previous Star Trek series...

Ah, it used to work before Netflix came to Germany. I knew people who got an US Netflix subscription and used it to watch Netflix with a VPN. But I guess Netflix got wiser now... And the trip to Europe to actually change location (and not just virtually) will rarely be more affordable than the...

One tip to anyone with a Netflix subscription: You can use this in any country around the world where Netflix has a presence and you will see the content for the country that your IP adress is based in. So, here in Germany I can see the German Netflix content. If I log into Netflix in the US I...

It could also be very deadly. Fire indoors is always a very bad idea as it can cause carbonmonoxide poisoning.

Considering the U.S. National Hurricane Center, which is considered the world wide authority on hurricanes, publishes those tracks from 1851 on, I am pretty sure they are confident that there data is accurate. Also, all those Caribbean islands were once important colonies for European...

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/ Their data goes back to 1851. Considering that weather is especially important for any shipping and shipping has for a long, long time been an important industry where there was a lot of money to be made, I don't think they stopped tracking weather during the civil...

I think most areas here in Germany have underground power lines. Losing power is such a rare occurrence that people are in big shock when it happens. I remember when I was a kid there were power lines on poles and now and then we would lose power for a couple of hours in thunderstorms. I can't...

Orlando airport is closing at 5pm on Saturday. I don't think you will be able to fly in or out of MCO on Sunday. ETA: Ok, I just saw that @wdwmagic just posted that MCO took down this notice and a final decision seems to not have been made yet.

I have had my share of maintenance issues with DVC rooms. My theory is that it is a combination of high occupancy as well as reduced housekeeping. Because the housekeeper is in the room less often as DVC does not get daily housekeeping they have less opportunity to notice things that are not...

I think @Cesar R M speaks Spanish as his first language and that is why there was the comment about Spanish working well. In my experience there is no need to speak any French at DLP. However, a few phrases in French will be helpful, especially for the world around DLP. I only once (in 1997)...

I was actually going to write something similar to what @Direwolf27 quoted here: The link appears to be to the German version of Bare Necessities and that song is certainly a well beloved classic here in Germany. I am normally not a huge fan of films being dubbed. With animated films it can...

Well, the same sign read Tom Staggs for a long time. There is also one for Bob Iger.

Yes, or the Hogwarts Express. People were telling him that he lost his mind when he said that there would be aHarry Potter part at Universal Studios that would be connected by train to Islands of Adventure. Fun times!

DLP has really fun Halloween decorations, too. But October can already be quite cool in France, definitely not pool weather. But the parks are built for the cooler climate. I have been there in the winter and had no issues. Flight prices: I am only buying tickets in the other direction and it...

I like Kayak for finding flights, but I never booked through them. My preference is to always book with the airline itself if in any way possible to avoid things like that. To me this is worth a slightly higher fare. I never found one where the airline direct would have been more than maybe 25$...

Considering that GCV is currently being sold by Disney at 185$ per point, while the new CCV property is going to be sold at 176$ per point and that GCV has the highest prices in resales as well (comparable to Poly and GFV), I am sure a new DVC property at DL would be highly profitable in sales.

Is this an all outdoor restaurant with just a roof, but no walls? It looks like there are heaters up on the beams and fans, bot no airconditioning? Does that make sense in the Florida weather?

The 20th only had Disney Dreams, but did very well. That's why I think, it will be a test for how well they can get people in. But I am convinced that Operation Sparkle hurt their result last year. @ParentsOf4 I don't think DLP needs the same attendance numbers as the MK or DL to be successful...
