    Driving to Disney from NJ

    Made the drive from NJ to WDW 20 straight years! Baymenxpac has the times just about perfect. One tip that worked for us when kids were little: Start collecting little trinkets from dollar store or elsewhere, candy, pencils, crayons, little tablets, little books, tiny Lego kit, etc.. Put...

    OKW Renovations Nearly Done

    I hope you are not as disappointed in the "renovation" as I was. Been a member since 93 and yes, a renovation was in order. But this is awful. It totally lost the "Key West" feel. I think they moved into "best western" feel. Not at all tropical. Ugly bedspreads; painted (not new)...

    Any end in sight for Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It?

    Any end to Move It, Shake It Walt wanted one thing: A place the whole family could enjoy. I am NOT a ride person; never been on Splash or TOT or RRC. But I sure enjoy entertainment. -- live entertainment. My family and I LOVE all the live musicians, the entertainers, the shows, the...

    I wish we could say "Bye Bye" to Fantasmic

    I am so very sad. I just can't believe what I am reading about Fantasmic. I feel that this is one of the BEST things in all of DisneyWorld!! It never ceases to amaze me. I always tell anyone visiting that it is THE do-not-miss. My family and I have seen it each and every year since it...

    1987 Magic Kingdom Pictures!

    Well, perhaps the trees were getting TOO big -- but without them it's like putting a prized painting on your wall without the beautiful matte and frame. I believe they just enhanced a beautiful icon! Yes, I understand it makes for better show and Wishes viewing but it's just too stark. My...

    Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade starts TODAY

    KCW -- Maybe your "trained" eye sees things differently. Mine wasn't a naive comment. It had nothing to do with hurt feelings or self-esteem issues. I'm not a dancer, I'm not a parade planner. And I sure hope you're not telling your students that they aren't good enough!!!! I'm just your...

    Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade starts TODAY

    Just returned from a trip to WDW. I can't believe what I'm reading here!! The new parade was AWESOME!!!! Yes, less characters -- but no less "Disney". Sounds to me like some of the posters here weren't good enough to be IN the parade -- thus the dissing. Why can't we all just enjoy the...

    Contemporary Daybed Question

    The daybeds at the Contemporary do not literally fold OUT. The size remains the same, and takes the same amout of room, as when it is a sofa. It's actually very cool -- the part where your back would sit on a sofa in a sitting position flips down with a simple pull on a handle. A bit smaller...
