    Sum of All Thrills Closing?

    I was there in June and spoke with a few of the workers while waiting to get on the simulator - Raytheon pulled out - they pulled the name, sponsorship and took the website down to watch your ride after you returned home. If this was already said somewhere in these posts, then sorry. We really...

    Is Disney World ours? And therefore,"those People" shouldn't be able to enjoy what we can't afford?

    I would pay for more than 3 Fast Passes and I already pay the $$$ to stay in a deluxe resort in the park. Not sure How much, but I would consider it. We are not late night people for the parks (we are rope drop - crack of dawn people) - the early morning deal is a joke - perhaps because my kid...

    Has 50s Prime Time Been Tamed?

    We like the food because it is a filling lunch and a good value for 1 dining credit ; you get as good a piece of grilled salmon as you might at Artist point - we also like the theme but we get annoyed at times with the acting. Its cute the first time...We often are seated next to a large group...

    Via Napoli - never been and need some outside perspectives

    Pizza is good, but like any other Disney dining due to the limited choices in a category, average, becomes very good. Biggest issue I had was made a reservation 180 days beforehand, confirmed it earlier in day and still waited 45 minutes to get a table. They have a massive amount of walk ins...

    Watched the WD historical documentary on PBS - is it a matter of time....

    I have always been fascinated by historical elements of WDW and Walt Disney himself. On the recent 2 hr American Experience PBS special, they went into detail on the controversy surrounding Song of the South. (for those of you that don't know, this is the movie that Splash Mountain is based...

    Am I the only person who thinks Beach/Yacht Club pool is overhyped & overrated?

    We have stayed at either the Beach or Yacht the last 4 years and truly enjoyed the experience from beginning to end, each stay being for 7 days in June. The pool is really important to us as we go during very warm June, are early riser and first ones in the park so we can go back to resort at...

    What WDW restaurant is the best looking???

    Wife & I got food poisoning at Sci Fi last year so it could be the best looking place ever and we still hate the place. We really like the California Grille with open kitchen, wine cooler doors right as the elevators open and yes, the view. Of the on property Signature Dining places, this place...

    Trip Report Yacht Club - 7 Days June 19-26

    3 of us ( H, W & 10 year old son) retuned home yesterday from a great trip - stayed at Yacht Club and room was ready at 11:00 AM immediately upon arrival Friday 6/19 - location of room is NOT a big deal for us and the room was fine - last year we got a free upgrade to club level and yes the...

    Disney No Longer Including Appetizers for Deluxe Dining Plan

    this has got WAAAAAY off topic - You can argue till you are blue in the face, but you tip on the entire cost of the check, not just the portion you have to pay over and above the dining plan. If you want to do 15%, which was always a "rule of thumb" then go ahead instead of the suggested 18% &...

    Disney No Longer Including Appetizers for Deluxe Dining Plan

    i just got back and was talking to my mouse made simple representative and she DID VERIFY with Disney appetizers are gone from table service - This is sad for us becase we like sigature dining and did table service lunch and signature dinners and roughed it for breakfast. The desserts do appeal...

    Le Cellier .... good food but why two credits???

    Craft Steak at MGM is very good - (I usually eat at the bar when there) I love trying different versions of Steak Tartare and Craft Steak's is right up there. Arguably my favorite Steak House on the LV strip is Carnevino at Venetian (Palazzo) this is Mario Batali's place and it is a great cross...

    Le Cellier .... good food but why two credits???

    its a steakhouse...with a steakhouse menu - Anywhere you can get an 18-20 ox bone in Ribeye, rack of lamb, etc in a nice setting is most likely going to be 2 credits; I know people go there for the cheese soup (which I find kind of funny, but to each their own, who am I to judge) but it is in...

    ADR thoughts and advice?

    I m going to 50s prime time café for lunch, but it is almost by default because I got food poisoning at Sci Fi DI last year and swore to never go back. I am not a big "comfort food" person, so the thought of meatloaf, pot roast, fried chicken, etc for dinner with all that commotion is a bit...

    ADR thoughts and advice?

    Eating at Le Cellier just for the Cheddar Cheese soup is not a really good reason (please don't take the wrong way) they have herded people in there for years to eat that soup and then get a very pedestrian steak - news - the soup is not that good and you would probably spend those calories on...
