    People trashing the parks

    After a recent trip to Disney World, I just have to voice my displeasure with other guests who trash the parks. I was disgusted to see gum stuck all over the wall on the first lift hill of Splash Mountain. I am not talking about a few pieces, but like 50+ pieces of gum. And when I rode...

    Soarin, around the world

    I liked the new Soarin' film. Though, I love the smell of oranges, so that was missed by me. I sat both times on the left and the curved screen distorted the picture, so I am looking forward to seeing it from the center. And, I like the last scene very much!

    Crowds are down? Curious about the claims . . .

    Just came back from Disney, and I thought the crowds were very manageable for June. I think there are many factors influencing this. I work in the nonprofit world, and i can tell you that even in that environment we can tell people are holding onto their money right now. Not everyone takes...

    FP+ with off-site stay

    My family will be going to Florida this summer for a week and a half. Our first week will be spent at a timeshare we own. But, we couldn't go to the Orlando area without going to Disney. So, we are spending our last 4 days staying on Disney property. When we booked that stay, thru Disney, we...

    Is Shanghai Disney Making Us Look Bad?

    The technology that I have seen is amazing, but Shanghai Disney is new and there was not much tradition, sentiment, or nostalgia factor to figure in the equation. It is a totally different target market. That target market not only lacks the Disney history but is also more technologically...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    I have learned to just clear my mind at Disney and not think about food prices. It was hard to do, but makes things less stressful. Plus, just open your eyes and notice what food costs have done everywhere. A burger at Disney might be around $10, but it is too at Applebys, Fridays, Chilis, etc.

    Reedy Creek Firefighters planning to picket.

    Show me a group of workers that are not upset about wages and insurance. This is nothing special to you Reedy Creek!

    First-world problem, I know, but...

    My family has never stayed a WL, so I can not really comment on it. But, we live in the Ozarks, so the last thing I want to see on vacation is another log cabin looking lodge building....hahaha. But we did stay last summer at Poly and we loved it. It is beautiful and relaxing, though still...

    Poly room requests?

    My family stayed at Aotearoa too. Before arriving, it was not one of my buildings of choice, so I was a bit irritated. However, it was perfect. Had a ground floor with great patio. We could hear the luau, see the castle, space mountain, the beach. Wonderful location. Only down side was how...

    What's the center of your WDW universe?

    I don't think I could pick just one center of my WDW Universe. I remember certain rides that I loved when I was 10 years old. I have places at Disney that remind me of my first trip with my wife. I have spots that bring a smile to my face because they represent milestones for my kids as they...

    What job would you apply for if you wanted to work for Disney?

    I would love to have an operations management job in a park...maybe overseeing a group of gift shops at Epcot. I would want the ever-changing challenges to bring variety to my job, rather than being tied down to one location. It would be great to have the ability to help guests and make their...

    Which room at Pop Century?

    We stayed last summer in the 60's Building, overlooking the kiddie pool. It was a perfect location. The walk over to AOA is a bit further than walking to the front of POP, but not bad, as the bridge makes for a pretty view, especially at night. Food courts are good at both resorts. And...
