Was there today. Loads of heavy equipment working behind the kiddie coaster and next to DD. Looks like they started some major work to me.

I can tell you from personal experience that Disney is very strict about height measurements. I remember one time that my daughter was measured 5 times by 5 different CM’s before we got on to Mission Space! We had to laugh about it, because she kept telling the CM, that she just rode it...

I am also one of the nuts at Disney this week! :hammer: When we first drove onto Disney property on the 28th around 2:00pm, there was a sign saying that AK was closed! :eek: Since then, we have been trying to avoid the heavy crowds as much as possible. So we decided to swim for a while...

I am also planning our first trip to Epcot on New Years Eve, and had planned on arriving late afternoon. We are staying at the Beach Club, so we will be entering from the rear gate. I spoke to a few CM's when we were there in July, and they both said to lay low all day and go to the park at...

We’ll be driving out of Pittsburgh, but not till December 27th. We usually go for Thanksgiving, but wanted to try something different this year… I must be insane! :hammer: Hope you have a great trip! It’s great to see so many people on these boards from the Burgh. GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All :wave: I was at MGM tonight. The place was pretty empty. Got there at 7:30, Star Tours and Tower of Terror were both walk ons. The Great Movie Ride had a 10 minute wait, but they were only running ½ the ride. The second Fantasia Show was less than ½ full. We had a great first night...

We look for Hidden Mickey’s! Several years ago we began by just pointing out the Hidden Mickey’s, but it has since developed into a competition between my kids as to who can find the most. My daughters keep a running total throughout our trip, and because they are so competitive, it becomes a...

Thanks so much for all of the great tips. :wave: :wave: :wave: I’m especially excited to hear that the MK does the New Years Eve fireworks on the 30th. We will defiantly make plans for that! I was expecting big crowds, so we planned our trip for Dec. 29 through Jan. 6th, hoping the crowds...

Hi all! :wave: We are visiting Disney on New Years Eve :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: and I’m looking for any advice (it's our first time for New Years), specifically on where to eat dinner. We were thinking of the Rose and Crown, Biergarten or Alfredo’s. We are staying at the Beach Club...

JPVonDrake - Thanks for the wonderful info - My daughter got strep last June and her doctor wouldn't call in a script for her :hammer: . So we ended up going to ER at Celebration because I had no idea where else to go. I wish the person I spoke with at the Beech Club told me about Central...

Is it your experience that the rate quoted at the time of booking is lower than rack rate? If so, in your experience, by how much? Many thanks for any info.:wave:

Thanks so much for the info. :wave:

If Disney extends the program, and I book a room... Do you know when I would know the final rate for the room? Do I get that info upon booking online, or do I have to wait until check in?

We do not typically renew our passes... Our trip schedule is usually - Late June trip, Nov trip, then early June trip... Then we let the passes expire and start again the following June with new passes. I may be mistaken, but I thought that the AP rates now had to be booked online, and the...

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I did a search and couldn't find anything helpful... I have been a AP holder for years, and have booked under the old program, but I'm not sure I understand the new one. Our passes expired in June, and we are thinking about a trip for this June...
