    Minor Hall of Presidents update

    A Facebook friend of mine works for an Orlando sign company that is contracted by Disney, and he posted a pic last night of installing an updated sign outside the Hall of Presidents. I don't know what that means for the expected opening of the attraction, but it is a small, interesting update.

    Full online check-in comes to Walt Disney World Resort hotels

    Anyone know if getting your parking pass will still necessitate a trip to the front desk or not?

    POTC Headless Bride?

    Someone on Reddit (yes, I know) posted a picture of the brides for sale in the auction scene about 2 hours ago. In the picture, the last bride is missing her head. https://www.reddit.com/r/WaltDisneyWorld/comments/3xzvbq/bride_missing_her_head_on_potc/ I'm very suspicious, but I was curious if...

    Chanting at WDW Banned?

    The news articles that have popped up about this lately discuss an "incident" on Main Street USA with an Argentinean tour group. Does anyone know what actually happened? I can't find anything that isn't vague or rumor-ish.

    DCL Believe - Tinkerbell light

    It's possible, but I looked pretty hard for something like that. I looked through the video and they don't seem to show the effect. Probably because it doesn't happen on stage, but above the audience.

    DCL Believe - Tinkerbell light

    I've seen the Believe show on Disney Cruise Line twice, and I cannot figure out how they do the Tinkerbell light effect. Near the end of the show, Tinkerbell (as a green point of light) comes out and dances above the audience's head. It's hard to describe, but if it's a laser light, I can't...

    iPhone 6 cases

    I know that you can have custom iPhone 6 cases made at the co-op in Downtown Disney, but has D-Tech released any prepackaged iPhone 6 cases yet? My wife had the Haunted Mansion wallpaper iPhone 5 case and loved it. There are some third party products on Amazon, but I haven't been thrilled with...

    Merch question - high heel ornaments

    This may not be the right place for this question, but I've searched the forum and can't find what I'm looking for. My wife really digs the high heel ornaments that started coming out last year, and she's got about 7 or so. I'd like to get her a couple for her birthday, so I wanted to see if I...

    Sudden cruising...

    My wife and I live in Merritt Island, literally 2 minutes from the Disney cruise line port. (We can hear the horn when it leaves.) I've heard rumors that you can get an excellent deal on Disney cruises if you just show up at the terminal without reservations. This obviously would only work if...

    Last Day for Turnstiles at Magic Kingdom

    I can't speak to decremented days on a ticket, but my wife is a CM and she still has an annual pass from before she started working there. We went in one day, her using her CM pass instead of her AP. And when we tried to get a Fastpass, she accidentally used her AP. The ticket that came out...

    I saw Matt Lauer and his family being escorted on to Soarin'.

    So, is Unleash the Villains still happening?

    For those talking about the Hades face character, I was on a Disney cruise about 8 years ago. There was a Hercules stage show that was amazing, and during the 'intermission,' Hades did about 20 minutes of stand-up. He was incredibly funny, and very improvisational. I've always thought since...

    So, is Unleash the Villains still happening?

    I've seen other schedules show that the fireworks are at midnight. Is this schedule official/confirmed?

    Is there any rides you've never been on and never want to go on?

    Had a bad experience the last time I rode the teacups, so I'll never go on Primevil Whirl. I used to love the teacups; but one time I got off and felt awful for the rest of the day. I rode Mission Space once, and again felt odd for the rest of the day. So never again. Basically, spinning is...

    Disney Dollars still accepted?

    If you're buying something on property, and paying with cash and the cashier has some in their till from a previous customer; you can ask for change in Disney Dollars. No assurances, and you might get dollars that have some wear/writing on them; but it's also possible that you might get an...
