Pirates all the way. I like Mine Train, but its slightly higher thrill offering can't compete with such a long, immersive classic with one of the best queues ever.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and I don't want to get into a heated debate (I respect your opinion and am just stating mine). Personally, I'm ok with removing a direct image of suicide by hanging from a Disney parks ride, particularly in the one park that is strongly geared towards...

I wasn't aware that someone hanging themselves is part of "the charm of a different time...". Disney parks are also not a museum and serve a very different purpose. I'm as big a fan of the Disney parks as anyone, have been visiting since the mid 80s, and am still visiting FL and CA parks...

I'll be at the Anaheim Convention Center for work next week and was unexpectedly able to add two days and two park hopper tickets to end my trip! I'll be solo, which means I'll get to experience everything at my own pace. I typically try to do as much as humanly possible in that situation...

I recently saw a video from about a year ago that shows the more minimalist Huey-Dewey-Louie renovated room at this resort. Not sure when this was done but I'm wondering if all of their rooms are like this or if some have been renovated and some haven't. I'm guessing they all have but you...

Thank you all for your input. We went with Movies and I have a feeling it was the correct choice. I'm curious to see if I'll love it (nostalgia, here I come!) or if it will remind me why I avoid value resorts when possible. Either way, I can't wait to be in WDW again!

We will be staying three nights at WDW in early May and have the option to book a regular room at any of the All-Star hotels (Pop Century is not an option). We are a family of four: me and my wife (both 30's) and our two sons (5 and 2 1/2). Day 1 is check-in, pool time in the early afternoon...

I'm surprised to say this, but Big Thunder Mountain would probably bother me even more than Haunted Mansion or Space Mountain. Even though Big Thunder isn't my favorite ride in the parks - it's high on the list, obviously - any time I think of childhood WDW trips, waiting in queue for Big...

I always enjoyed being sat next to other people on rides. The little small talk exchange and glimpse into someone else's life and vacation journey was always a fun connection to the world outside my own, especially if we had already talked a bit in the queue. These days, though, many people...

It’s not new or in high demand, it’s not especially controversial in any way, it’s not a thrill ride, it’s not in danger of being eliminated (that I’m aware of, correct me if I’m wrong), and it doesn’t take up a ton of space that could clearly be improved or at least changed by demolishing it...

I will be in DL with my brother and his wife in early June, all staying in the same room at DL Hotel (they booked the hotel, then added me to the room reservation once we found out I’d be there). We booked park tickets separately, though, as they already had passes and booked their own park...

I hear you. It's a struggle much of the time, but as a parent and (hopefully) considerate member of society, you should be doing your best to keep your child from being to loud or distracting when possible, especially in confined spaces.

Next came the moment Michael and I had both been waiting for: his first view of the castle! Remember, he's 3 1/2, so the castle basically IS Disney World as far as he knew. I got a great video of him going around the corner and seeing the castle for the first time, but these photos should...

DAY 1 The Drive and Check-In at Port Orleans French Quarter My mom and dad, Michael, and I arose EARLY in the morning and got on the road around 5:45am to make the one-plus hour drive to Disney World, arriving as the sun came up. What a sight! My mom did mobile check-in before we arrived...

It's not possible to keep them from bugging people 100% of the time, but my wife and I certainly try our best! It's a lot harder on longer flights, especially when connections are involved...
