I don't think there is such a thing as "boat gas" My guess is the ferries use diesel and the other craft probably run on a premium gasoline no different than what you use in your car, and no more polluting. Compared to a lake surrounded by developement and city runoff, I think Bay Lake is much...

We got to see the backstage area of this on the Backstage Magic Tour. The computer controls area right out of the mid 80's but still do the job. The equipment behind stage is amazing and we got to see them doing the preshow checks. Our guide said that the reason the American pavillion is...

Thanks alot. I really appreciate this!

When we were at WDW in December my brother-in-law gave is fire departments patch to the fire station in the Magic Kingdom. They said it takes a few days for them to put it in the case. I was wondering if someone could check and see if it is up yet and if possible take a picture for me so I can...

I've heard from several HR type people over the years that facial hair is a subconscience effort to hide something. I remember the placement office at my college recommended shaving for job interviews also. A clean face is a sign of a clean life. Not my opinion just saying what I have heard

We were warned that there would be a lot of walking, but there really wasn't. Anyone who walks around the parks shouldn't have trouble with the tour. There was a lady who just had a knee replaced in our tour group. She used a wheel chair and it didn't slow us down at all. The day we took...

Use the Disney Visa to get 20% off

No photographs backstage, but you can take pictures when you are "onstage" in the public parts of the park. The guide said we could take pitures at the Tree Farm now.........I suppose there aren't that many secrets there. The tour starts off at Epcot and you get to see the inner workings of...

Walt and Deana were our guides. It was a great tour. They now include Animal Kingdom, so you get to go to all 4 parks. A few more pics: Some obviously are in need of some rehab

We went on the Backstage Magic tour last week and they let us take pictures at one of the stops. These are from the Tree farm behind Animal Kingdom. It was interesting to see the different topiaries in various stages of growth

This is a big debate in our houshold too. We love them both and will probably alternate between the two. 1 year at the Poly and the next at the Lodge. If we are going for a shorter trip and need/want to do a lot of things, I would chose the Poly for its access to transportation, but if we...

FINE PRINT: "Park entrance is included; TWO one-day, one-park ticket for EACH GUEST will be available at the Guest Relations window at the Main Entrance to Epcot® on the day of the event. Park tickets and Disney Quest tickets must be used by January 30, 2010" Could you get a refund for these...

We are booked for the Backstage tour in December, but I am also thinking of switching to the Keys to the Kingdom tour. I think I will like either tour, but my wife and brother-in-law might get bored with the length of Backstage. I have heard the tour of the laundry facility is a bit long. I...

When can you make reservations for tours. Is it 90 days, or is it 90+10 for resort guests

I got the same error. Try entering your phone number. I had to call and get a number added to my reservation, but that still didn't work. I finally gave up and called in my ADRs. I think my problem was going through a travel agent. I am booked under a group reservation.........I guess...
