    Sassagoula Floatworks Rennovation Thoughts; Horray or Neigh?

    It's definitely from the Post-IKEA Industrial school of design, but I don't hate it. It's inviting like a clean and bright kitchen, and it looks like they kept some of the old decor for nostalgia's sake, which is nice. Those light fixtures, though... Could they not find anything with a little...

    Last minute Resort Booking

    There might not be time left, but a certain DVC rental company that I'm probably not allowed to link to (it rhymes with DVC Dental Sore) has a decent amount of points that expire on Dec. 1st available for $8.00 a point right now. Now, that's pending availability, so it's risky to not have a...

    Disney offering new Epcot tour - World Showcase DestiNations Discovered

    Am I crazy for thinking that this tour is offering something that should probably be included with admission as part of the cultural representation of each pavilion? And at the cost of a one-day ticket, I think I'll be skipping this one. I could probably get this done on my own in less time...

    PHOTOS - Polynesian Resort DVC construction

    Glad they let that guy out of his hole. I wonder what he did. Maybe he pointed at something using only one finger.

    PHOTOS - Polynesian Resort DVC construction

    Pretty sure that guy in hole is being punished. Looks like he's in time out.

    Which Deluxe?

    Boardwalk is my favorite, but Animal Kingdom Lodge is a very close second. If it weren't for the transportation options, it would be a landslide winner for me.

    PHOTOS - Polynesian Resort DVC construction

    I really want to visit a place like this in the South Pacific, but I know I probably never will. Not necessarily because it's cost prohibitive, but because I will never leave. They will have to remove my arms to drag me away to my plane, because I will attach myself to anything I can grab a...

    Two new kiosks coming to Downtown Disney - Set the Bar and Sublime

    Boo. I really wanted Set the Bar to be an upgraded replacement for the Margarita stand that's now gone from the Marketplace. Now I'm limited to only the dozen other places in the area where I can pick up a strolling beverage. So disappointing.

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    I like it. It's pleasingly retro. Looks like the kind of thing you see in those 70's era tiki room bars that are still open and just as cheesy-fun today as they were back then, maybe more so in that ironic, tounge-in-cheek kind of way. If that's the direction they're going with the...

    Podcasts

    I absolutely love the Disney Hipsters podcast. It's not for everyone, and it's certainly not for kids or work listening without headphones, but man is it irreverent fun. I like nothing more than to listen to a group of friends sitting around a mic and hash things out. And as a bonus, Hipsters...

    Disney to expand Glow with the Show to new product line 'Made with Magic'

    Why is it that when Disney incorporates some sort of technology that's supposed representative of the future of interactivity, it always seems like it's of the future from the eyes of a stoned college kid in 1983?

    Island Supply in the Magic Kingdom's Adventureland to close next week

    Thanks. I'm terribly busy at work right now. Saved me tons of time.

    Restaurant suggestions for each park

    I'll give you my in and out of park opinion for casual and signature dining on each one, but like others have said, your best option is usually outside of the park gates: Magic Kingdom Inside Park: Casual - Be Our Guest Signature - Meh... Outside Park: Casual - Grand Floridian Cafe Signature -...

    PHOTO - First look at the newly renovated Grand Deluxe Guest Rooms at the Walt Disney World Swan

    I like them a lot. They are bright and sleek, and they still manage to look very comfortable. They look like an excellent place to decompress, and I bet their beds are still the best on property by a large margin.

    Kouzzina?

    I have a bit of a general rule when it comes to dining out, and it goes doubly for Italian establishments: if I can make it better in my own kitchen, the meal isn't worth my time or money. My wife and I can make some mean Italian food, so Italian restaurants have a steep hill to climb to meet...

    Kouzzina?

    Yeah, it was a real bummer. They're essentially replacing it with another Via Napoli, which bums me out even more. Via Napoli is fine, but do we really need yet another Italian restaurant, let alone a clone of one that is literally a fifteen minute walk from the Boardwalk? I would have been...

    Disney Springs construction begins

    I'll believe it when the last piece of blue concrete is dumped into an ocean trench or fired into the sun or some other situation from which there is no return.

    Disney Springs construction begins

    What is this, 1992? Just tear the whole place down already! Planet Hollywood was a dumb idea at its inception. 20 years later, it has long since passed through irrelevancy and is now is lost in a miasma of blandness, frequented only by those who have coupons or a yearning for ironic masochism.
