    Just Returned Home, a Few Observations & Questions

    Great update. I agree with you that SM seems to be rougher than it used to be. I road it a few months ago for the first time since the refurb. The time before that it was closed to the refurb so it had been a few years and I thought some of the turns were brutal. Still a lot of fun and I am...

    New 3D Luggage Tag

    I got mine a few weeks ago and I admit it took me a few mins to figure out how the plastic cord to the tag was supposed to attached the tag. I agree. They are much cheaper than the old castle ones. The hologram is cool but the really cheaped out on the plastic sheet. You have to literally...

    Tolls from Airport to Disney...

    If you take 417, it will depend on where you get off the highway. Generally you will hit 2 $1.25 toll booths. So give yourself $3 in quarters each way and you will be fine.

    Magic Kingdom: the movie

    I like the Kingdom Keepers books. You just have to remember that they are written and marketed to the pre-teen and tween set when judging them. The 3rd and 4th grade kids at my daughter's school absolutely enjoys them. They may not be on the level of Harry Potter but anything that gets kids...

    entrance change to the seas w/nemo

    Very happy to hear that they have done this. It was pretty obvious before that you were supposed to stand in front or sit on the ledge. However, if this sends that message io folks a bit more then that is great.

    Magic, The Memories and You! to continue through the holidays along with Dreamlights

    I was totally blown away by the MM&Y show when I saw it a few months ago on a short trip. I am interested in seeing whether the lights interfere in any way. I assume they have tested this and the answer is that they don't interfere. However, the overlay of MM&Y is so intricate it is hard...

    Trip is 3 weeks away! Crowds in late August?

    Will be there in 21 days also. We have gone a few times before at this time of year and the crowds are very manageable. The only thing that makes me think that the crowds this year may be a little higher is that Disney has extended park hours more this year than in the past. This may be a...

    VIDEO - Lights, Motors, Action! Lightning McQueen sequence

    And I agree with you completely. And saying that Lightning was going 10 MPH was generous. It was probably closer to 4 or 5 MPH. I didn't think they could manage to slow down LMA any more than it already was.

    Mountains fixed?

    It shows what they could do easily but are choosing not to do. It also shows that they know it is unacceptable if they didn't want "the boss" to see it.

    How soon before your vacation date does your voucher package arrive in the mail?

    The package can arrive as late as 10 day before you depart. If you worked with a travel agent, likely the package will go direct to them first, before they forward it on to you.

    Disney Visa points question

    Once you have one card, you can reload it with your new points. So my suggestion is get a rewards card now (don't wait until the last min because they take a couple weeks to ship) and then reload it with all your points that you have obtained right before your trip.

    What airline do you fly with to go to WDW?

    I look for things in this order. 1) Has to be Non-stop 2) Price 3) Airport location (I live within 15-90 mins of 5 airports that have direct flights to Orlando and it pays to check all of them for flights. And it pays to check flights to both MCO and Sanford) 4) Airline preference. I like...

    My Geekiness is Getting in the way of my Nerdiness

    I do lots of research so that I don't have to have a minute by minute plan. I do plan which parks to be in each day, mostly for dining ADRs and avoid or hitting things like Fantasmic days at DHS if appropriate. And I do want to know what I am going to do the first couple of attractions...
