We were at Disney a couple of weeks backs for the 7DMT opening and it was a big mess. We didn't know what it was at the time.

My wife and I stayed at BLT the first week of April and we both liked the hotel and the look of it but also felt that there was a lot of wear and tear already. Our sink was cracked, the pocket door was really loose and the carpet had many patches. Hopefully they will do a minor refurbishment to...

I haven't been to the Wilderness Lodge, but my wife and I love the AKL. It has such a great atmosphere.

The problem I see with WDW is that there used to be a high standard of quality that is slowly fading. I could understand if budgets are tight then they need to focus on doing the most that they can to keep the whole together rather than a few individual things. Unfortunately for Disney, they...

I just feel that the ride has such a classic Disney feel to it. I also love the way the unload zone looks before you exit through the theater and I cannot get enough of that fresh smell of Laila as you exit the gift shop.

If only. The last Embassy Suites I stayed at had a really massive multi-story waterfall and pond in the center lobby.

Be careful what you wish for, they say Disney is the place where dreams come true. I do love Maelstrom, it is exactly what a ride in the WS should be. It would be criminal to Disney-fy it.

I really like TGMR. I am not into older classic films and haven't seen most of them, but I still enjoy and appreciate the ride. It would be a great loss if Disney decided to replace it. Unfortunately, gone are Horizons, WoM, WoL, the real Living Seas and the waterfalls at Poly. This ride will...

My wife is a big chicken and hates roller coasters but she like BTM. It really isn't bad at all. It always seems more intense at night and towards the back so try to get her on it earlier in the day and closer to the front as others have mentioned.

If the plans call for a large and majestic waterfall feature right outside the lobby that is viewable from the large and open space that will now be there, I think I could be okay with this. I wish there was more transparency with what the rest of the hotel might look like after this is all...

The Gaylord Palms is ridiculous in the most amazing way. It is like its own ecosystem. A replica of the fort at St Augustine, pirate ships, large multi-story waterfalls, an ice skating rink, etc... It is nearly impossible to believe. It really makes you feel like you stepped into Willy Wonka's...

This makes sense. I really want to believe that this rendering is just a small glimpse of changes and not all encompassing of the changes being made. The entire outdoor area is a mystery. It could be something completely grand and blow away what the waterfall feature was to the Poly. We really...

That's weird, I didn't get any sliders.

Personally, I am happy with what Disney has been doing recently. I stayed at Bay Lake last month and it was a really enjoyable hotel and the view of the fireworks was nice. The DVC expansions of GF and Poly are exciting. I can't wait to stay at the GF and I will reserve judgement on Poly when it...

They are both very similar and you can easily use the amenities of either. I suppose it comes down to price and if you want to be just that much closer to the particular one that has the restaurant or shop you prefer to frequent.
