Just came across this old post. Last year we stayed in a HA Grand Villa on the second floor of Building 63. It was perfect, we thought. Elevator up to the second floor, the roll-in shower was just in the MB-perfect since DH and I were staying there and were the only ones who needed the HA...

All these photos are fascinating-I wish I had some to show. Last time I was at the Le Halles Bakery in France, I took my tray out to the courtyard area to eat, the open area surrounded by the Doorway to the ice cream shop, the France movie, where there used to be tables and chairs. No tables...

Just don't do what I did last year, my first January trip-As I packed, I figured "I'm going to WDW, gotta bring shorts." So I had 3 pairs of shorts, and 2 pair of sweatpants. Ended up having to buy another pair of sweatpants there, at Disney prices! At the very last minute I threw in a...

You mentioned fried chicken on salads. Every time I've asked for them to omit the meat on the salad, it's been done (and at a savings in cost). Are the "power salads" considered unhealthy? I've never had one. I miss the Entree salad at Liberty Tree Tavern. I used to love it without the...

The knee carts seem like a lot of work by the end of the day, considering how big WDW is and how hot it is. I tore ligaments in my ankle while I was at WDW, and luckily I had a scooter. It really helped. Good luck with your request for first floor at WDW. Although I had a little discussion...

My favorite is Kilimanjaro Safari. It's the one ride that's different every time I ride it. And I spent an entire day riding it once. This was back in the days when you pulled a paper FP. I pulled a FP in the morning, then rode it standby until my FP window opened. Rode it FP, then pulled...

Although I think Peter Pan's Flight is the better ride, I'll be riding 7DMT as much as possible, but never riding PPF any more. That's because I can't do moving walkways and PPF's walkway doesn't stop.

I bought $1000 worth, just a couple months after 9/11, when Disney stock was just $20 a share. It was also during a time when I was working full time, and I thought it was a good purchase. I'm not panicking that it's decreased over $25/share in the last few weeks. It's still worth about 7-8...

Was anyone here at the 50th anniversary of Disney LAND? If you were, you'd see how poorly WDW was treated by comparison. At DL, they had a ceremony, including people who'd been at the original grand opening, Mickey and gang on-stage, etc. By comparison what did WDW get? Just 50th anniversary...

Regarding pin trading-there is a cork board/pin trading location in each themed land in the MK. Often the blue umbrella guest experience locations can tell you exactly where they are. I know that's where I found out where they were in DHS. Also, don't miss the big pin trading board in the...

Ooh-that's tomorrow! And is it going to be free for all Disney + subscribers?

Is it correct that if you're staying on-site, you can get your first Lighting Lane reservation at 7:00 am? But then you can't get another one until you've used that first one (or at least scanned in via MB for your first one?

As a PP said, it's been the nickel and dime-ing. Genie + was the final nail in the coffin for me. Then the day of the 50th anniversary, from what I heard (I wasn't there), really affirmed my belief that WDW has become just all about money. Was anyone at Disneyland on their 50th? DS worked on...

Boo! The experience is such a major reason to order the kitchen sink!
