The best part of this video is he keeps saying Disney is owned by 57% of China. Like, which 57% of China owns the company?

Oh my gosh, yes all day to this. My lady and I were sitting in the Hub watching Holiday Wishes and the grandmother next to me would not shut the front door to her grandchildren every single time a fire work hit the sky in front of us. Her grandkids were not responding to her in the least but she...

No I get that, but I've been many times, including in May 2015, so it would really be more about the ambiance, etc. than pure touring.

So I'm thinking about planning my first Christmastime trip to WDW in many years but when I just looked, all of the WDW hotels are priced way high. Anyone know of any discounts or is this just too hot a time for that? Is Disney worth it on New Year's? I know it's going to be packed but I'd love...

By quiet, you must mean less crowded because Trader Sam's is many wonderful things but it's not quiet! It's better than most lounges at WDW where it seems like there's a carbon monoxide leak. I actually wrote a little review of Trader Sam's in a recent trip report...

We got into Trader Sam's twice in a week with no wait, the week after Memorial Day - the first time was at around 6:30-7pm and the other was at like 11pm on our way to MK for EMH. It is a little awkward that they let people in "standing room only" when there really isn't a very obvious place to...

He really sold the lie though - that's real Disney Magic!

When SM was closed a few weeks ago during EMH a cast member explained to me they needed to close it at midnight because the water needed filtering but this makes no sense since I'm pretty sure it uses the same water as POTC which is open during EMH.

Easily the Hoop-Dee-Doo. This is not even bleary-eyed nostalgia although my family went pretty regularly growing up. My lady and I attended on our most recent trip and both said afterwards that it was some of the most fun we had all week. The performers were so engaging and the energy was...

Day 4 - Part 2 - Wilderness Lodge Check In and Thoughts on Club Level and Resort Departing Hollywood Studios and getting into our super warm rental car we were prepared to be disappointed. We had received an ominous text regarding seeing someone at Wilderness Lodge about our room assignment...

Day 4 - Part 1 - Hollywood Studios morning Since it's been exactly two weeks and feels like two years since Joelle and I were at DHS at WDW, I figured today would be a good day to pick this back up. For our last morning at Coronado Springs we ate by the Mayan Temple Pool since the pool bar...

Day 3 - An Evening at Hollywood Studios After one last lounge by the Mayan pool and a slightly mad rush to pack our bags for our impending move to Wildnerness Lodge the next morning, Joelle and I were on our way to the Disney MGM Hollywood Studios. My two cents on DMGMHS: The Studios catch...

To be fair, we didn't get engaged IN Disney... just celebrated the engagement. As the title suggests, it was kind of a flimsy excuse but my lady was good with it.

Day 3 - Universal Studio Florida Growing up coming to Orlando, before the Islands of Adventure and long before the Wizard Worlds, Universal Studios was almost always my least favorite day of family vacation. The tram tour was boring as hell and Jaws kind of scared me and the whole thing was...

We just stayed at the WL last week and while and there was some mild scaffolding on parts of the front and a few on the back visible from the pool, tt was still amazing and barely noticeable in photos. Besides, the WL has boats that travel to the Contemporary/Fort Wilderness and the Magic...
