    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    You are correct, that day guest = anyone who comes to a WDW hotel to eat, shop, etc. The main restriction used to be that only people staying at the hotel could park overnight. WDW's written policy has not kept pace with on-the-ground policy. I quoted that policy because it says day guests are...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    Anyone staying at one of WDW's hotels and AP holders are onsite 'guests.' This is not an interpretation, the wording is direct from Disney. For example, under parking policies WDW's own website says (bold is direct from the WDW website) , "Additionally, standard self-parking is complimentary...

    Severe Cold Weather Advisory Issued for Walt Disney World Nov 11 2025

    Long ago, my oil ran out on a cold night. I had 3 dogs staying with me. They slept on the bed. It was a 3-dog night.😁 Stay warm everyone!

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure to transition to 2D with brief refurbishment in November 2025

    Off-topic, but IMO the best way to ride Tron is to avoid using the handlebars at all, except to load/unload. IMO, the ride is only fun if you ride- especially the outdoor part- with your arms out Superman style. Also makes for a great photo. Otherwise, I'm with you on skipping it. It isn't...

    MNSSHP Table Service Question

    Did you end up going, or are you planning ahead for next year? Your thread asks a good question, and is the type of question that is perfect for a WDW forum, because it can be hard to find out via WDW. If you are planning for next year, the menu offerings may well be different. This is just...

    Bad experience at T-Rex on 10/20

    The outage on the 27th was pretty significant, but I have had this happen to me other times at WDW, while dining at a WDW owned restaurant. One time it was when we went to pay the bill at a TS, the other was a mobile order. The mobile order looked like it had gone through, I had a verified...

    News The Magic of New Year's Eve at California Grill

    Still $&$, and above what I'd be willing to spend, but the menu does sound appealing. And it is better than last year! It would be rough though if say, you booked prepaid this offering and then came down w the flu that day or something and had to cancel that day. Even just for two pple...

    EPCOT Spaceship Earth refurbishment coming soon?

    Er, it is actually a bit out of date. Releasing Ladybugs to control pests has largely fallen out of favor. The LwtL ride still promotes the idea as a solution to pest control. There was a time when WDW used to release LOTS of lady bugs. Children were regularly invited to participate in...

    EPCOT 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

    I was at the opening day of Stella Nova hotel. It was downright bizarre to be surrounded by so many vloggers. Almost all of the tables around me were people posting and talking while they were eating. Many of them looked rather disheveled, especially at breakfast the next morning. Admittedly...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Compared to what? (I'm not saying that to be sarcastic. I mean are you asking about WDW food quality, or non-WDW?) Here at home, I can make better steak, but I have to grill it myself. Off-site dining, I'm sure there are better steakhouses. On property in a similar price range, it is decent...

    Resort Christmas Decorations

    WL is probably my personal favorite, but exploring for yourself is half the fun. If I were you, I'd avoid looking at any (more) photos ahead of your visit, so that THIS year's decorations are a bit of a surprise. I would also say that where you visit depends a bit on where you are staying and...

    Updated Yacht Club Rooms

    It is better than some of the recent updates, like CR, but it still lacks some of the fun whimsy. The GF rooms feel rather off to me. CBR rooms are very bland. With any of them though, I'd have to try the room in person to really decide. Just looking at GF photos, for example, doesn't tell...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    IME, where WDW food budgets differ wildly from off-property meals is the table service. 'Ohana $67 per adult, $44 for 'kids', but 'kids' only goes up to age 9. Any child age 10+ is charged the full $67. and that's just current pricing. WDW has price surges over the holidays. GF's 1900 PF...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    All of these are quick serve options, except where noted: Chipotle near WDW burrito/bowl $9.15-12.30 (but 12.30 is just carne asada upsell, all other options are 9.15-10.90) Moe's near Universal: burrito 11-13, nachos 12.40-14.40, tacos (3) 14-15 (though they offer additional upsell options)...

    Again, I simply posted a few facts. Where you are trying to go with them is all you. Factually, Orlando has convention visitors. That's all.
