    Blizzard Beach temporarily closed due to capacity (23 Jul 12:30pm)

    Note to self: Never go to WDW waterparks in July. 2 capacity closings in one week! Yikes!

    20,000 Leagues and Alien Encounter. I miss them :(

    Back from a weeklong trip - report and updates!

    I just got back from a week at WDW on Sunday. It took me a while to write this up, but I hope someone still finds it interesting. We stayed at an off-site hotel, Bryan's Spanish Cove, from 6/6 – 6/13 and had a wonderful time. It was a park-packed week, with 2 days at MK, 2.5 at Epcot, 1.5 at...

    Foods you AVOID while at WDW...

    I liked the snails too! I tried them at F&W last year and they had a unique texture but were good. Of course, I'm sure anything drenched in the amount of butter they put on the snails would be good too. :animwink: The only foods I avoid in The World are the same ones I avoid at home, like...

    Paradiso 37...

    Yea, there's an "enough" in there. I don't expect cheap eats, but as long as the prices are in line with most of the other West Side restaurants ( average <$20 an entree), that'll be fine.

    Paradiso 37...

    That's good to hear! So, should prices and crowds be low enough, I should be able to eat there next week!

    Has anyone ever done a REALLY spontaneous trip to WDW?

    Yup! Back in January I took a 3 day trip with less than a week's notice. We decided to go on Sunday and booked the off-site hotel on Monday for that Friday! It was a great trip, and we even managed to get some same-day ADRs. As long as you know your way around the parks, you really don't...

    EPCOT Center shirts galore

    The green one looks like the shirts for Epcot's soccer team. I want the black one so bad; I'll try to pick it up when I'm down there in a week and a half!

    Procedures / Mayhem at Park Openings?

    Here's how it's been in my experience: Yes, there is an actual rope that CMs hold up. Yes. As someone said earlier, in MK you are in the area between the turnstiles and the train station, at Epcot you are in front of the FW fountain, at MGM the early risers fill up Hollywood Blvd, and at...

    What are your thoughts on the current state of The Living Seas?

    I don't mind it. The rehab definitely gets people into The Seas now; the pavalon was pretty dead in the years before it. That said, I really miss the old queue and the hydrolators. They gave the pavalon much more of a feeling of discovery, I think. And even after going fairly often for the...

    Sounds interesting, can't wait to see what the menu looks like.

    WDW Picture of the Day (Part 6)

    Is that a kangaroo at Animal Kingdom? Where are they??

    Blizzard Beach vs Aquatica

    I've been to Typhoon Lagoon many times, so for our upcoming trip I want to go to a water park that I haven't been to before. We originally had planned to go to Blizzard Beach, but then I remembered Aquatica. The park looks really nice, and the all day, all you can eat food pass is very...

    What was the big deal with Alien Encounter?

    It was awesome because it was unlike anything else in the Magic Kingdom. It had a completely original storyline and characters, and was one thing that very few Disney attractions are: scary. Even S.I.R.'s welcome presentation, meant (by him) to be enticing, was actually rather foreboding. ToT...

    Tommorowland Noodle Station

    Aww, that sucks; I was hoping it'd be open the week of the 8th. We were looking forward to trying something different at MK.

    What snack would you add to spice up the snack carts???

    I would love to be able to get wings in a park, and the poppers would be my #2. Disney is lacking in the hot and spicy department!

    Beaches and Cream just for dessert?

    Wow, after seeing that video, I want one even more! Even if I don't eat for three days after, it would be sooo worth it!

    Beaches and Cream just for dessert?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm actually glad that they don't take ADRs. If it is busy, I won't be able to kick myself for not making them. I think we'll keep this as an option and either hop over from Epcot or make the trip on a water park/DTD day. It'll be a fun and new thing for us. :) Oh...

    Beaches and Cream just for dessert?

    My bf and I were thinking about going to Beaches and Cream just for the kitchen sink at some point during our trip in early/mid June. We've never been there before, so I don't know how busy it gets. Is it possible to just stop in for dessert without having to wait too long?

    Vacation Village at Parkway - How Was It?

    I've stayed there twice, once in June 07 and again in October 08, and loved it both times. The location is great; you can get to any park gate in less than 10 minutes, both Publix and Walgreens are right down the road, and there's good shopping and dining, plus an on-ramp to I-4, all nearby...
