    Restaurants for Breakfast

    I just want to put it out there that there is no counter service outside of Starbucks in Hollywood Studios for breakfast. Don't suffer as we have.

    News Magical Express to pickup 4 hours before flight departure time due to new security measures

    We recently flew out of MCO with pre-check and it took about 20 minutes to get through the line but it was a zoo. I thought the main reason for the early pick up was because of the tram construction. We got this message from JetBlue the day before our flight: As part of a long-term airport...

    Castle Projections: Your thoughts

    Up till now I've had no interest in projections but after seeing what they did recently with the new MK show - its definitely improved. I would go out of my way to see it. That said, I don't need to see it on every park weenie.

    What is a ride/show theming that you hate that is liked/loved?

    Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid. I think that attraction is just terrible. I enjoy the queue more than the ride.

    SSE Planetarium

    I think I'm in the minority of people who can't see the stars that well. I also can't remember the last time I rode it without flash photography going on at that part either (note, I only ride it a bunch of times every two years when I visit). Thanks again Marni!

    SSE Planetarium

    I love planetariums! I even worked in one during college. I've never considered the star projection in SSE to be of typical planetarium quality because the stars can be hard to see (maybe I'm still blinded by the FL light even by then) but I understand it does in fact have a stellar projector...

    Anyone Not Want Online Check-In?

    Hah! Its always about the location of the room. The ONLY hangup he has during the entire trip is getting the room he wants. Its fine that it takes a while because it takes that long for us to wait for a table at Beaches and Cream anyway.

    Anyone Not Want Online Check-In?

    I think its great but my Dad likes to haggle with the CMs about the room EVERY SINGLE TIME we check-in. Its to the point that we consider it part of the trip's entertainment.

    What little things that WDW used to do/have do you miss?

    I miss going into any given store and seeing something different. Main Street is just one big Disney store now. I also miss enjoying the parks for what they are without all these up-sell options.

    Minor missing show effect that bugs you

    EXACTLY! I've blogged about this in the past. I think part of the charm was that it was sort of cheesy. It added a little something.
