Oh...yes.. this! I knew from the first time we stayed at the Beach Club, there was no going back. Being able to walk into my favorite park (EPCOT) is priceless. We love Storm Along Bay, as well. I also found much better customer service at the Beach and Yacht Club than we had when we stayed...

We were just at Universal in April, for the first time. We did not like it. I was disappointed as soon as I realized how close the park and our hotel (Royal Pacific) were to the highway. That made it feel cheap to me, from the beginning. Customer service at Universal just isn't on par with...

FWIW, I stayed at the YC in April and did not see a single dog, anywhere, and we were there for a week.

There is absolutely a part of me that wishes we had bought into DVC when we had the chance; it makes the most sense from a monetary stand point. That said, I'm also somewhat happy that we didn't lock ourselves into annual Disney vacations.

We were just at Disneyworld in April. Stayed six days at the Yacht Club, with a general public discount. I am truly sick over how much the trip ended up costing. It had been a few years since we'd been back and I thought prices were up considerably on everything. For example, I was always...

So annoying....when planning our trip for this summer, I realized that we can do DHS is in a few hours if we want. We love Star Tours, will get one FP+ ride on TSM, and that's about it. While I can appreciate the beauty that is ToT, it is too terrifying for me. Did it once; never again.

So, is there any word yet one when/if GCH will be touched? I had kind of thought soon-ish and that my trip this summer might be one of my last opportunities to see it in its current form? Is this true?

I went with my son from December 31 through January 4 this past year. It was fun and we go to WDW pretty regularly, so we were there to enjoy the decorations and the atmosphere, as much as anything else. There were lines everywhere and the crowds really are significant. But, with proper...

Personally, we LOVE Storm Along Bay! If you and/or your family love swimming and would really enjoy having a mini water park right at your resort, then the Beach Club is the place for you. I've stayed at numerous resorts on property, and none can compare to the Beach Club. I love the lazy...

If its true that 8Traxx was the most profitable bar in the country, and I don't doubt it, why did Disney close it? I've never understood why Disney shuttered Pleasure Island.

Yes...THIS...exactly. Why try to push more people into a smaller park when you have your highest capacity park (EPCOT) sitting there, in miserable need of a tune up? I love EPCOT and it remains my favorite park, but I'm hard pressed to explain why to other people, at least in terms of major...

I will be at MK on Friday. Is the area expected to be still at "soft opening" status then? I know there's a post that said it started on the 12th and will continue for a week, but I wasn't entirely clear on what that meant.

The deluxe plan is totally worth it IF (and only if) you want to eat at a large number of signatures. They eat up two credits and you really do get your money's worth that way. We love the signatures so much that when we return I'm seriously considering the Deluxe plan even though it is a TON...

Again, in no particular order... TS -- Non Signature Kona Cafe -- have eaten here so many times and always have a great meal Via Napoli Crystal Palace for breakfast; always the best character interaction, truly magical, although I admit the food isn't the greatest TS -- Signature California...
