TH is still not working for me. @figmentfan423 did you get yours for Tiffins or TH? I already have a reservation for TH...I wonder if I call if they can switch it to the package and if the dining plan only takes 1 credit. If not, I'm just not going to worry about it. Maybe I'll be able to get a fastpass....I think Dinosaur was on our fastpass list, but since that's closed, I'll just rearrange some things.

Tusker still won't go for me, I still have not decided if I'll keep the tusker breakfast or go with tiffins. I told hubby the options but he wants to think about it some more. I might try for a fast pass one night too, then maybe I would drop the dining package. Too many possibilities.....

Well i have now watched both Zootopia and Capitain 'Merica Civil War and even though i enjoyed both films i wasn't really wowed by either

I'm going to check Civil War zoon, but I really loved zootopia. It depends on tastes.

 

[Cesar R M]

So we are having lunch at the Poly. There's a show in the lobby? Anyone know what that is?

a show? I only read that the statue does some noises and flashes lights and stuff..

 

[Cesar R M]

I haven't seen Captain America, but how could you not like Zootopia?!

It's okay, we can still be friends.

he is no longer my friend.. our relationship is over. I will ask for the divorce

I liked it just wasn't OMG . I even thought TFA had room for improvement

ok, we're friend again.
I honestly felt TFA heavily overhyped.
Just a rehash of 2 of the original movies.

Is it just me... or is this site running very slow today?

I've had the same issue...accidently double posted somewhere else because it just froze.

not you, it timed out a few times for me. Perhaps a server "fart". (fart = when the server is doing background movements, like defragging, heavy processor loads, backups..etc.. or ISP side glitches)

 

[spacemt354]

It's not just you!!

Glad I'm not alone!

The other day, the pic had a cheeseburger in it and it looked SOOO good that I decided to make burgers for dinner that night.

I have done the same thing. I see a picture, and sometimes I have to make a trip to the grocery. It's lucky, that I can walk to it.

 

[betty rose]

I'm sure it will be. My first trip was in the 70's...I was only 3, so I don't remember that trip. But we went again when I was about 9, and once more when I was a teenager, and we went for our honeymoon, and then once with the kids. So I've been there a few times, but I never knew half the things I've learned here. And of course it's changed a lot with fastpasses, and newer films, etc. I have a suspicion that I could go every year and still manage to find new things every time. I wonder if 2 weeks is going to be enough! LOL I am sooo excited. I'm glad your experience is still great!!!

I would love to have two weeks, I have to admit I would like to spend half the time between Disney and Universal. I want to see, Universal since I haven't been there. Daughter says it's not for me, I can't do roller coaster's. And I only see out of one eye, so 3 D is impossible for me to see. I would still like to walk through the park, as I have never been there. And some of the restaurants, look good too. Maybe a one day pass would be good enough. We are trying city walk to get a taste of UNI, pun intended!

 

[MinnieM123]

I wish Disney had an all day breakfast restaurant, or all day buffet. I would get behind that very quickly.

That is an excellent idea.

Which is exactly what I liked about it. I have gone on record of never actually sitting down and watching the first Star Wars movies, but, it is impossible to live in this world and not have seen most of them in little snippets, so I generally knew what they were about.

I went to TFA simply to see how they would incorporate the original actors, whom, by the way, are all older then dirt into a believable movie. They did a wonderful job as far as I was concerned. That one did make me go... wow! The problem with that is I don't know if any of the others will be as good unless those characters are included and unless they go backwards in time it is going to be tough to use Solo again.

I'm gonna bet Rian Johnson is gonna do something fresh and unique with Ep. 8

I think they had to reel everyone back into Star Wars so something familiar that would appeal to a wide audience was probably the way to go.

And after Star Trek into Darkness I expected no less from Abrams

One thing I might suggest is to always figure in some flexibility in your schedule. The reason I say this is because when I was down there for 4 days, I had to try 3 times for Spaceship Earth (it was broken down for a few hours one afternoon). I ended up getting on SSE two days later, instead.

Another day, I had planned to hop on the monorail from MK over to Epcot. The monorail had broken down while I was in MK. So I ended up waiting for a bus to my hotel (Swan), and then I had to switch over to a Friendship Boat (they go between Epcot and DHS, with stops at the Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Swan/Dolphin), to get to the back entrance (International Gateway) of Epcot, for the evening.

Neither one of these breakdowns was extreme in my case, but for those guests who really do plan out everything for each and every day, I worry a bit for them. (Hypothetically, let's say I had an ADR over in Epcot, and the monorail from MK to Epcot was down. There's no way I'd make the dinner reservation on time, unless I took a taxi from MK.)

@MinnieM123 Did you try any other new eats/snacks while on your trip? Did you have an opportunity to try any of the Flower and Garden kiosks? I enjoyed a few of those in March.

 

[MinnieM123]

Just think of yourself as being "special" !

Also I'm really excited for Rogue One

And idk if any of you saw what was just leaked maybe @StarWarsGirl ..but it looks like a certain someone with a breathing problem might have a role to play

They have activities in the lobby throughout the day. Including a hula class, which is what you may have been seeing.

Actually, I didn't make it to any of the kiosks for food. I just wasn't in the mood for the menus I saw while passing by, (I'm tempermental about food, and also if it's hot outside, I don't like eating outdoors--no appetite). I was also there one evening, but since I had already eaten a few hours before that, I didn't try anything at a kiosk.

A meal I also enjoyed was the breakfast at Picabu (cafeteria style restaurant) over in the Dolphin. They had best bacon I've had in a long time!!! The scrambled eggs, potatoes and toast were good, but that bacon was awesome!!!

Another good meal was at the QS at the France Pavilion. I had the toasted Croque Monsieur, a soda, and chocolate mousse. It was all very tasty!!
