Good point. Now I see that https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/planning-guides/in-depth-advice/extended-theme-park-hours/ uses the same "select" language. I'm not aware of any Walt Disney World hotels ever being excluded from EMH (well, at least not any Disney-owned ones or the Swolphin), so it's...

Yeah I suppose. Seems obvious to me that evening EMH wouldn't affect pre-existing morning EMH, but I guess not to others. Now we just have to figure out why the official announcement uses "select Walt Disney World Resort hotels" instead of "all Walt Disney World Resort hotels". At least until...

Thanks for posting the official announcement. What does this sentence mean... "This benefit is in addition to the Extra Magic Hours already available to you at Disney’s Animal Kingdom."? Or is that just in there to confuse us forum people?

I do not know the answer, but your window being defined by your tickets seems odd/incorrect. I have an 8 day ticket but will be on property 10 days/9 nights. We probably won't use our tickets on the first day. Disney doesn't know what day you're going to first use a ticket, so it seems weird...

Has anyone actually ridden one of these? Regardless of whether you like the look of the vehicle wraps, if the windows are wrapped, the rider's experience is diminished. My city transit system has a full wrap bus and the decals block sooooo much light. The celebration balloon stickers on the...

Keep in mind that the way that touringplans calculates their crowd ratings. Namely, they are based on wait times for the major attractions at MK. While there's no doubt that attendance is up, Space Mountain closing will likely affect crowd levels at MK and might possibly affect the crowd...

Big yes, but it does seem to be looking less like a sore thumb now that it's more than just a big gray box. Is it just me or are they making really quick progress on this? I wonder what their target opening date is (other than spring, of course).

Anyone seen anything for Children's Day at Japan, also on May 5? I'm trying to figure out if I should try to squeeze Epcot in that day because I'm curious about both Japan and Mexico... so far, I can't figure out a way to get there, but I'll keep trying if there's something interesting happening!

UoE was supposed to reopen on Monday... apparenly it hasn't reopened yet?

What, like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/EPCOT-UNIVERSE-OF-ENERGY-CAST-COSTUME-SHIRT_W0QQitemZ310128909714QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

RickyMouseMom: What a horrible story! Sorry to hear your vacation was so messed up! Luckily the only time Capital One has turned off my card was when I accidentally mistyped the security card on a charge to a company in Germany. But anyway.... definitely a good reason to carry some back up...

Thanks for all the responses! :) I don't really know what sort of computer system is in place to take care of snack credits like popcorn and mickey bars, but I figured that with that level of computerization, we might be able to expect that even the mobile carts would be accepting plastic...

I feel like this must be somewhere on the boards, but I can't find anything. When touring the parks, can I get away with just carrying my key to the world and no cash? I'd rather rely on the dining plan and charging to the room key if possible, but I assume that I'm not going to be able to...

What menu? Looking at the handful of photos of dishes floating around, it does seem fairly classy, but it's hard to make judgements on the # of credits based on pictures or a general description of cuisine unless you see the prices.

Actually, the April date was from the audition notice from Disney, and it was reported here on wdwmagic: http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/Stitchs-SuperSonic-Celebration/News/22Nov2008-Stitch's-SuperSonic-Celebration-coming-in-April-2009.htm
