    Large fountain drink cups removed from Magic Kingdom?

    When you do the math the cost per ounce of soda in the regular cup as opposed to the "large" allows for 30 percent more profit per ounce of soda (not including the lower cost of the smaller cup). So, the bean counters once again increased profit by eliminating a lower profit ratio item. I have...

    Express Transportation starting Dec 7th

    With all these value-add services being added there are only two things I can think of that justifies the lunacy behind them. One - Disney is trying to create an up-charge environment that matches the additional spend they get out of Disney Cruise Line patrons. Or, there is actual...

    How low can you go?

    (cited from another source) "From the people who brought you pizza at bus stops there is now a mobile cart in the Epcot parking lot selling drinks and snacks" What can possibly be the revenue stream on a daily basis for this? Corporate bean counters are inhaling more than just air in my opinion.

    How often do the dates for this event get updated? I've been trying to get a reservation for over 2 months for November but the available data have never extended past the end of this September. Thanks in advance for any help

    Interim show 'The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic' confirmed to debut ahead of Rivers of Light

    Bad is not the proper word for this. What’s a good description of something that has the production values of an elementary school’s Christmas play?

    "Disney Early Morning Magic - Fantasyland" Anyone know?

    So, we have Disney's #2 resign, Iger's Tenure of Terror to end in 2018, Singapore Disney way over budget and cast member per guest service and support ratio decreases, food quality reductions, resort fees and other additional cost items multiplying like bacteria across the kingdom. Putting my...

    Disney After Hours Event

    The next price scam I see coming (other than the suggested water parks) is $25 per person per day for enhanced FP+ (6 selections vice the current 3) and the extra magical FP++ for $50 per person per day which allows for immediate access to all FP+ attractions for the entire day. You can see the...

    Premium Parking coming to Walt Disney World's parking lots?

    What absolute moron of Disney's executive idiot team thought this one up (probable the same idiot that wants the resort fee). Disney would appear to be trying to appeal to once a decade (or less) visitors. People like myself who have been to Disney multiple times over the years will now probably...

    A little disappointed in Disney concerning miliary room rates

    A few months ago went to make reservations at Caribbean Beach (standard room). However, found out that there was no availability for the time period needed (1st week of November), so decided to book a garden view room at Port Orleans Riverside. I retired from the United States Air Force a few...

    No room at the Inn

    Went to book three rooms at Caribbean Beach Resort today and they are already out of standard rooms for the end of October. My family has been going to CBR for the last 20 years. Is there any strategy, other than hope and wait, to obtain these three rooms? We need two beds in each room, and all...

    Trip Report Not the best experience 16-19 October 2014

    Overall, this was not the best of vacations, my wife and I enjoyed our time there, but several factors diminished the experience. We spent four full days (16 Oct – 19 Oct 2014, at all 4 of the parks and downtown Disney. Over the last 20 or so years my family has vacationed about 10 times at...

    The Little PIN That Coulden't

    Pin Code? I really feel you pain. We've been going almost every year in October since 1995. And even with signing up for vacation DVD's, getting a login account on disney.com and other various strategies recommended to generate a Pin code we've never gotten one.

    When is management going to realize the ineptitude of Meg Crofton?

    I realize that this post is probably going to never be allowed, or be taken down due to the language, but I have to speak my piece. And considering I've both a former cast member, and a vacation patron, I need to express my opinion. I have to assume cutting corners, quality and costs, and via...

    Record crowds this month?

    Crowds 15 - 22 October 2011 Went to all the parks 2 to 3 times during this period, also went to DD and Blizzard. I have never seen crowds, even during the week as large as they were. I would estimate at least twice as many people in the parks as I have ever seen (I have been going to the...

    First Time Disney Vacation --- Questions Questions Questions :)

    Park in a day I would highly recommend www.touringplans.com. Now only will they allow you to plan which park to visit each day, but allow you to download touring plans which will give you the best way to see each park. There is a subscription fee, but it is rather small. In addition, once...

    Short term gain to alleviate bad management over the last few years?

    Let me start off by saying I don't have an MBA , but after more then twenty years experience selling to the government (for various public companies that have revenues anywhere from 200 million to 20 billion a year) I can at least express my thoughts without being accused of having no experience...
