    Pool gates at Contemporary

    Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere... Staying at Contemporary this week and came to the pool today. Workers are busy installing gates around pool. No opinions here (I can see more pros than cons), just thought I would share.

    Trader Sams drink prices

    The chicken lettuce cups with Hoisin ginger sauce are very tasty. The Mrs and I went here for a couple of cocktails before dinner at Kona in June. We got the Uh-Oa (two straws) and the Krakatoa. Good drinks, somewhat pricey (if you keep the glass, which we did), the entertainment when you...

    Thanksgiving at Mickey's Backyard BBQ

    We have dining resv on Thanksgiving for the "Mickey's Backyard Thanksgiving Feast" at noon. We have eaten at the normal BBQ/show in the past and enjoyed it. I have seen the Thanksgiving feast menu on other sites so I do have an idea of what to expect. Does anyone know how this Thanksgiving...

    Bus Horror Stories

    After our first time experiencing the Hoop Dee Doo we were subjected to their bus system to make it back to AKL. We waited on the campground bus for 30min before we left. I didn't really sweat it because my girls were still hyped up from the show and the bus wasn't even at 25% capacity. When...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    It has been an interesting week here. It won't be ruined, I'll just never forget any of it. We got in on Sat and that night the night club attack went down, then Tuesday nights tragedy happened, then the new castle show this afternoon had almost 1 to 1 guest to security personnel during it...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    Looks as it is supposed to keep people out...not wildlife away. Staying at Poly right now and workers are still installing on the beach by the boat dock right now.

    Can't find a 6:15 Hoop Dee Doo reservation for any dates in the fall

    Same here. I went to book this online at our 180 window and nothing was available for any of the shows on 11/19. I called (407) WDW-DINE and they told me nothing had been released yet and call back tomorrow. I called 5 days in a row. On the 5th day she said nothing had been released but she...

    Hoop de doo or Backyard BBQ?

    We have done both with two younger kids (now 9 & 7 but younger then). Both kids and adults enjoyed each experience very much. The food and the show at Hoop-Dee-Do are much better IMO. The Backyard BBQ is fun, but there are no servers and you miss a lot of the show waiting in line to get food...

    The Trip Down I-75: City Driving Strategy

    If you avoid coming through Chattanooga during late afternoon/early evening areas it is typically fine. Once you get past the I-24/I-75 interchange traffic is not an issue until you hit ATL. We come through Chattanooga on I-24 and it's crazy coming through that section of the city. They are...

    The Trip Down I-75: City Driving Strategy

    AGREED!! We always avoid I-4 and come in on 429 to Western Way when we come down. We made the mistake of coming all the way to I-4 when we brought friends with us during Thanksgiving week '14. Worst decision ever. We were locked up in traffic for over 1.5hrs. It killed all the time we saved...

    what was the best WDW guest meltdown you've observed

    We (wife, daughter 8, daughter 7, and I) were in Epcot at Rose and Crown about 45min before Illuminations this past 8/6. We were looking for a place to eat our Fish and Chips in the outside eating area behind the beer cart (left side facing R&C). The al fresco dining to the right of R&C was...
