It's interesting how in the past couple of weeks' worth of endless coverage on Michael Jackson, I haven't seen a single mention of Capt EO when they talk about his long career. No footage, none of the music from it, not even a mention of the name. Maybe it has been mentioned, but I've been...

Quick question for any CMs: I know that Disney managers have some sort of hand signal or gesture to let CMs know that they need to smile, without blatantly just telling them to "smile" right in front of a guest. But I can't remember what that is. Can someone refresh my memory on that?

I seem to recall, a while back, that someone had posted a link to a page that listed all of the Disney Stores that had been (or were scheduled to be) closed. I did a few searches, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have that information?

I was just thinking that now that Pleasure Island is no more, maybe there's a slight chance we could see City Walk open clubs similar to Comedy Warehouse and/or....dare I dream it....Adventurers Club.

I'm having dinner at Jiko this coming Sunday. I've never been there before, and I'm wondering how strict they are on their dress code. Their dress code for men states that "dress shorts" and jeans are okay. If I wear some plaid shorts, a polo, and these sandals...

For my girlfriend's and my upcoming trip next weekend, we will only have one day to see both Universal parks. The good news is that it will be on a Monday, so I'm hoping that means it will be relatively slow. I'm wondering if anyone has any tried and true strategies on how to maximize our use...

We're going to WDW in a little over a week (woo hoo!). A friend gave us some PI tickets that they purchased almost 10 years ago but never used. Do you think they will still work? They have the old PI logo on the front (the one of the character who looks like a crescent moon), but there is no...

We will be there in a couple of weeks for a very short trip, and will only have two full days to spend at theme parks. The one Disney park we're going to is Animal Kingdom because my girlfriend has never been there. She also has never been to Universal, so we're spending one day there and...

It's amazing how the anticipation builds and builds when a trip to Orlando is coming up. I feel very fortunate to get to take two trips this year! I just went in June for a week with my brother and sister (an annual tradition). But recently, I came across a great deal online for airfare...

I'm struggling to come up with the wisest decision, for something that may seem simple, so I decided to consult with the people here and see what most of you think... My girlfriend and I will be in Orlando for just a few days in a couple of weeks (8/23 to 8/26). We will only have one day to...

I'm taking my girlfriend on our first trip to Orlando together and wanted to take her to a nice dinner while we are there. Not necessarily Victoria & Albert's caliber, but something nice. Any suggestions? I've heard Boma and Jiko are both nice (never eaten at either of those). How is...

I just booked a trip tonight for my girlfriend and myself to go in about 3 weeks! Very excited!! I have a couple questions for anyone who might be able to provide some insight, advice, etc.... 1. We are staying at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando. I have seen this hotel many times, but have...

I just booked a trip for my girlfriend and myself to go in just about 3 weeks. It will be a really short trip. We are getting there on 8/23 and leaving on 8/26. I noticed the hours drop back to closing at 7pm by then, but I assume that's because kids are returning to school and that's...

A friend of mine and her husband are going to WDW in September. She works for HP and was wondering if she would be able to get into the HP lounge at Mission Space by showing her employee badge. Does anyone know? She was asking me if I know what is in the HP lounge, and I wasn't sure. Does...

I have no doubt I'll be in the minority on this, but I have never understood why so many members of these discussion forums seem so impressed by Expedition Everest. I just don't get it. I think that as a coaster it's pretty boring, and from a show standpoint, it is extremely lacking. People...

When you take a trip to Orlando, do you stay on Disney property the entire time (with the exception of traveling to/from the airport)? Or do you venture off and enjoy the many other things the area has to offer? If it's the former, I'm curious what drives the unyielding desire, for some, to...

We just got back yesterday from being in Orlando about a week, and a very interesting observation we noticed was an abundance of anti-Disney/pro-Universal statements that we overheard from other guests. Just a few examples... We were in Pleasure Island the first night we got there and we...
