    Ferry From POR To DS: Which Dock?

    We just got back from a 3 night stay at POFQ and have to say that the boat transportation was pretty bad. By pretty bad I mean that it was super crowded and took forever to get back to the hotel from Disney Springs. To hop on a boat at POFQ going to DS was no big deal, but after spending the...

    Gift Cards for no room service

    We just got back from a 3 night stay at POFQ and they offered this to each room in our party. The offer was a gift card that was loaded with a credit of $15 for every day you opted out of housekeeping. We were still able to request fresh towels, soap and shampoo each day, but had to call...

    I take my shirt off on Splash Mountain and no ones ever said a thing

    Do as Adam the Woo would, and just "Heck It!" ;)

    Coronado Springs

    CS is actually my family's favorite resort. Bigger rooms, queen beds and awesome pool for them. It is spread out a bit, but that is a good thing sometimes. The outer rooms are quieter as the convention guests usually get priority for the main building closest to the convention center...

    Hot Dogs or Turkey Legs

    I say throw a couple of those Casey's corn dog nuggets down their throat and let 'em choke! Oh wait, never mind, those things are too good to waste; and it might be a little too violent for Disney families in line with us. I will just enjoy mine with cheese sauce and mustard thank you. (And...

    Waterfalls in WDW

    As a kid, I remember these more than the castle. The hub was actually surrounded by large trees (oaks, I think) and the castle wasn't as prominently viewed as now. Those towers were awesome! Really made you think you were walking into a different realm. Kinda looks like something out of the...

    Waterfalls in WDW

    Oh, yeah. There is a video of a waterfall inside the three amigos boat ride in Mexico with people diving off into the water below also. Don't forget Norway. They have a waterfall that is currently hidden behind a wall. The trolls are gonna drop you over those falls!

    Waterfalls in WDW

    Way back when... the entrance to Tomorrowland used to have two giant towers/spiers that had waterfalls/waterwalls that were pretty cool. I do not have any pics, but I am sure someone here does. BoG restaurant has a nice waterfall. New Little Mermaid ride has a waterfall also. There is a...

    Snow White's Scary Adventures

    I think they should have kept the ride. I did not see any of the demo of SWSA or rebuild of the princess area, and I have yet to step foot in there. Does anyone here know if the ride track is still in place or did they remove it completely? If they were smart, they could have left the ride...

    Magic Band security clasps

    They do sell sliders at resorts and in the parks. They slide on the band similar to a slide on a leather watch band keeps the strap secured. They are not like a zip-tie. I also received one with my passholder band that has a little Mickey ears on it and says "Passholder 2014". I don't see...

    IlluminNations fastpass+ viewing area

    Um, no I don't think you stood at the "gate" for FP+ as that is on the Canada side of the gift shop and you would have been behind a couple of trees and not had the same view as FP+. If you were on the other side of the area, the central plaza, you were in between the two roped off areas for...

    PotC ride effect

    Not to worry, I dodged a bullet (or cannon ball, if you will) with the forcefield my special Mickey wristband placed around me. I am so glad I was wearing it at the time!

    Magic Kingdom parking lot closed due to reaching capacity - park remains open (March 26 2014)

    A lot of Florida public schools have spring break this week. Glad we went last week.

    Disposing of old bands

    Um, just a little sarcasm at the expense of MM+ and MDE. Well, ultimately that costs all of us!

    Magic Kingdom operating hours extended tonight (March 25 2014)

    Wow. We were there 3/20 - 3/23 and the only day we experienced any major crowding was on Sunday the 23rd at Animal Kingdom. That place was packed and when we left at 1:30 more buses were lined up dropping off spring breakers and tour groups. Looks like my son had an early spring break and we...

    PotC ride effect

    Thanks for all the replies. Looks like it is a matter of timing. Pretty cool effect that I will now be looking/feeling for each trip. Oh, and the boats still have the water issue. One boat even had a castmember with a bilge pump at the unload area emptying one out. First time I have seen...

    IlluminNations fastpass+ viewing area

    You can still do that if you wish. The dessert party takes up the area that says "Disney Traders" in the picture and does not cover the entire middle of the plaza. The dessert part is also outlined in ropes to keep the "riff-raff" :) out. There is still plenty of seating, but it was elbow to...

    PotC ride effect

    Had a great trip this past weekend to the World. I did have one unique experience on the Pirates of the Carribean that I have never really had before. We were seated in the last two rows of the boat and were turning the corner out of the battle scene where the cannons are fired between the...

    IlluminNations fastpass+ viewing area

    FP+ area for Illuminations is exactly what is highlighted in the picture above. It is a nice location to view the show. They do not open the area lower than the shrub islands on the right though. This is for safety reasons regarding the wind and fireworks. We got there at 8:30 and the area...
