I know this is probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I miss being able to take advantage of all the little secrets that I've learned over 15 years as a passholder. For example knowing how the MK parking lot loads, starting on the left side until it's full then switching to the...

The idea is to keep them profitable. The reality is that we're in a challenging economy, and there is nothing to suggest that it's going to get any better in the next several years. I personally have been surprised that Disney, and the entertainment industry in general, have done as well as...

I once got a telephone response from an emailed complaint. The complaint was fairly specific, and the response was also specific, so I think your mileage may vary. I'll explain what happened to me below, but my suggestion would be to be prepared with what specifically was wrong, and what...

You say that as if budget was irrelevant.

I personally haven't used the buses at all because we never stay on property (AP holders so usually just day trips). But based on the kinds of complaints I've read on these boards over the years, it seems to me that the experience with the bus system can vary considerably depending on the...

I should have also said that everything on the operating hours calendar is subject to change. So until dates are announced and tickets on sale for MNSSHP (assuming they're not already - I really don't know but I assume not), try to maintain flexibility.

The fine-print on Wet n' Wild's ticket web site says it is 6.5%. http://www.wetnwildorlando.com/tickets.php In FL sales tax is 6% to the state, and then each county and city gets to add their own on top (it's called "local option sales tax"). That might be why you thought it was 7% -...

Nothing to offer on your specific questions, but don't forget to account for MNSSHP which will be going on at MK selected nights during this period. You can tell which nights by looking at the MK calendar on Disney's web site. If the park closes at 7, it's probably a party night, meaning not...

If it were me - given you'll be arriving late, that your son doesn't like big crowds, and that it will be New Years Eve (I've never been, but understand it to be quite a zoo) - I'd probably consider not entering a park at all that day, and instead maybe taking in Wishes (or whatever is running...

I haven't tried 301 before (but if you end up doing it I'd love to hear about your experience, I'm always up for an alternative through that area). I have used the Richmond bypass before, but only a couple of times. I think it's a couple miles longer but much less traffic normally, but if...

You should probably already know this if you live there, but Puerto Rico is a US Commonwealth, not a country. And English is one of your official languages. On the other hand, the US doesn't have any official language.

icp?

I'm a little confused, why do you think this? IE why would it be easier to enforce a no photography rule than a no flash photography rule? If anything I'd think no flash photography would be easier to enforce because it's easier to detect.

I think you're being a little unfair characterizing them all as ignorant. Most know exactly what they're doing - they're just bad.

Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi) is one of the two we never miss. 2U (U2) is the other. A new addition last summer was Little Queen (Heart), which unfortunately I wasn't able to make. I'm hoping they'll be back this year.
