I half thought that it was for an elevator system. Does anyone know why they created that big a pit for an unload/load station?

I'm not sure when you are going but WL doesn't decorate until after Thanksgiving. It seems like you'll be there for Christmas, which is perfect, but just wanted to let you know.

Honestly, my only complaint is getting into or out of the All-Star resorts. The traffic light from Osceola backs up at peak hours with buses/cars and then trying to turn left to get onto Osceola is a similar challenge. Not terrible but that was my least favorite part of the resort. Of course...

I used DVC Rental Store for OKW and that time was less than a room at POR (probably same as Pop). OKW is very nice, the rooms are large, and it is quiet. However, if booking direct, OKW typically is $50-100 more per night and I haven't found any good DVC rental prices laterly. If the prices...

I stayed at All Star Sports last November and it was great. I used the bus system to get to/from Magic Kingdom but had a rental car that I used for Epcot/HS. I enjoyed the room and it was quiet and clean. I think when the Pop Warner, cheerleading camps, or those kinds of events are in town...

Between the two, I would choose POFQ for cost reasons and also because the bus service to/from the parks is excellent (although I would actually have chosen POR over POFQ). Plus, from a food perspective, I could walk to Riverside and expand my food options. I enjoyed staying at OKW but I...

Especially a single walkway with one way in/out to what will be an insanely popular ride at the farthest end. On those days when DHS is packed, this walkway will become nigh impassable.

I have been to sold-out Halloween and Christmas parties while also having attended a sold-out After Hours. The crowds at the parties were much larger. Wait times were reduced but not by that much and the firework shows were still packed. The after hour events were much better but the focus is...

Portorleans.org is saying that it will be Building 90. They are guessing that the princess rooms are being reduced down to just Parterre Place and that Building 90 is being reverted back to the normal Magnolia rooms. When I was there last week, I did not see evidence of construction but I also...

THAT'S why they are doing this. They discovered another fountain and immediately thought, "Whelp, that's got to go!" Creating the coaster was just an excuse to kill the fountain. Those sneaking water-hating gits!!

I'm certain that Disney can light it up with blue lighting and also spend $150 million to make it a themed carousel. That's as far as I would go.
