    News Mexican fine dining restaurant, Rosa Mexicano, coming to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin in early 2023

    They do have seafood with bluezoo and Japanese with Kimonos. So Mexican was the one thing sort of missing. As Picabu sort of covered that, but it is a cafeteria. ;)

    News Mexican fine dining restaurant, Rosa Mexicano, coming to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin in early 2023

    I’m interested to see if this will result in changes at Picabu. Will they be dropping the tacos and burritos there with this restaurant opening? It’s only just down the hall and would be cheaper than Rosa

    Poll: best queue in Epcot

    Hate to bring old Epcot into this but have to add a write in vote for Imagination’s original atrium and giant mural queue. The prefect cross between Epcot futurism and old school MK style queues.

    Will Call at Swan and Dolphin?

    Family trip coming up in November, staying at the Swan and Dolphin for the first time. Wondering if you can use your Will Call to get the park tickets at the Hotel Resort or do you have to go to Ticket Counters at the Parks? Trying to save some time and hassle on the first park day.

    How does Disney Cruise Compare to other Cruise Lines?

    First for proper comparison I am talking about 7 day cruises. The biggest difference I find - beverages. DCL has pretty well all non-alcoholic beverages included and the speciality coffees and alcohol tend to be cheaper on DCL than the other thee major lines I’ve travelled with even with “drink...

    How does Disney Cruise Compare to other Cruise Lines?

    Lot of talk the big difference is price, but want to mention something I’ve noticed. I do find my in on-board charges at the end of a cruise on DCL tends to be between 300 and 500 less (after subtracting shopping) than lines like NCL and Royal. Still makes DCL higher overall, but does bring it...

    DCL makes bid for second private destination

    With Rhode in charge you know DCL is going to be carefully handling environmental impact. Other signs - the release also mentioned developing only 20% of the property, turning 100+ acres over to the Government for a reserve. They are also going to use a trestle pier, like old school beach...

    Is Paint The Night officially dead!

    You’re safe on that one - MSEP is done, gone. I believe it as discussed here at one point WDW is in no hurry to spend on a new nighttime parade. There’s speculation there might be one for the 50th, but until then the powers that be have decided a night parade isn’t needed to attract people to...

    Is Paint The Night officially dead!

    WDW will never get it's own Paint the Night. Could by chance borrow the Disneyland one for a "limited run", but don't think will ever get it's own at this point. If WDW was going to get one, it would have it by now. Paint the Night will return at some point to Disneyland/DCA. DL/DCA over the...

    So why weren't there many strollers back in the day?

    In a desperate attempt to get this back on topic - I wonder if there would be less strollers and less scooters in the parks if Disney brought back the Main Street transportation, Epcot Showcase Buses, Animal Kingdom boats and other similar transportation. Would help reduce the walking in within...

    Swan and Dolphin Cove Construction - how noisy do you think?

    We’re planning out a trip for this November and trying to decide between Swan or Caribbean Beach. I’ve seen from a thread search most here prefer S&D over Caribbean, but concerned about construction noise from the Cove tower. We’re guessing Caribbean’s construction won’t be much of an issue...

    Favorite AFFORDABLE off property

    My latest fav is the Staybridge Suites LBV just down 535 (listed on Suiteside Dr) a bit from the Disney Springs gate. Two bedroom suites with a full bath in each bedroom which can be hard to find. Also pull out in living room form even more space. Decent kitchen with a decent amount of...

    Best Supermarket off-property?

    Publix is best overall, but where would be “close by”? Winn Dixie is very close to the Disney Springs/Hotel blvd entrance if you’re staying in that area the extra distance to the Publix at Celebration might not be worth the extra time.

    Which ice cream shoppe?

    News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

    Like others have said, makes sense to have this on the bypass. If it's used similar to Hyperion theatre at DCA then it will only have a few shows a day (think Lion King @ AK). Also the site has room for the theatre, but lacks room for the huge queue area Hyperion offers between it and the...

    Hey old timers! Tell us your early WDW memories.

    Two things I miss when arriving back to WDW - First the sign asking you to tune into WDW Radio with Jack Wagner as you headed down World Drive. Back then there was no big welcome arch - the only way you knew you were on property were when the road signs changed from green to brown. Second...

    Two Questions: HEA and DS

    You can walk around Disney Springs with a drink from a kiosk or even some bars/lounges - basically it has to be one served in a plastic cup, not glass. Keep in mind some stores will not allow drinks inside.

    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    Be Our Guest is waaaaaay over rated / disappointing. Much better food and theming to be had elsewhere. One and done for me.
