    News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests

    We have been to SOG many times and were at SOG in May just after the walkway closed and I can tell you it is sorely missed. Instead of an easy walk to the monorail we now have to drive or take a bus to the TTC, then get on the monorail in order to go to MK or Epcot. For our family, the...

    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    I got two Incredipasses. After waiting about 45 minutes of watching the circle spin on the woody page, I went ahead and refreshed the page even though it said not too. After refreshing it went straight to the checkout page and went through. Good luck everyone!

    Walkway between Shades of Green and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort to permanently close

    This is devastating news to my wife and I. We have stayed at our beloved SOG many times with our children since the early 2000s as an Air National Guard member and now retired military. Truly one of our fondest memories was to take that walk on the first morning of our trip over to get on the...

    Any good YouTube channels?

    Not really videos per se, but Lou Mongello on WDW Radio has excellent podcasts.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    As a stockholder I am relieved. Maybe I can recoup some or all of the losses over the last few years with better leadership. As a parks fan, I hope we can return to the quality experience of the past.

    Activating Armed Forces Salute Tickets

    We used these tickets in February as we have many times before. However, we did not have to activate them at the front gate like we used to do before the My Disney Experience app. We simply entered the number on the back of the ticket into the My Disney Experience account for each person and...

    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    The new colors don't bother me, but somehow that new scheme take ways a bit of the magic for me. I guess because no where else that I can think of could you see signage like this and it made me happy. I wonder why they would spend millions of dollars on this when I can think of so many other...

    Attraction waits years ago?

    Interesting topic. I would really like to understand why wait times has doubled. Couldn't be just overall attendance could it?

    News FastPass+ comes to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    My family are within our 60 day window and already had fast passes selected. By the time I heard this all of the passes were gone. I feel like we really got shafted here and wonder if we will get to ride without a very long wait now. I wish they would have made the change greater than 60 days...

    MK - Do You Control FP? Or Does FP Control You?

    I much preferred the older system. I loved planning my day and using the Unofficial Guide plans was always able to get onto every attraction we wanted to see, even during Spring Break when we always went. With the new system, even staying at Shades of Green where we do get an earlier time to...

    Soarin' Expansion and new Soarin' Around the World film

    Just got fast passes for June 4th, plenty available. Remember to use the right Tier fast pass, I had to trade a Test Track fast pass for it.

    Staggs resigns

    Conflicted about this news. As a stockholder I have been very pleased with Iger's performance and if he supported Staggs I liked the idea of an orderly transition which is good for business. After all, this is a business and you must make money to build all those new attractions. However, as...

    A little disappointed in Disney concerning miliary room rates

    Have you tried staying at Shades of Green? I am retired military and have stayed there many times. It is very affordable, you pay no taxes for rooms or items purchased at the hotel, has some of the largest standard rooms on the property, you can walk to the monorail at the Poly and has it's...

    Golden Oak - Living large in a new Disney home

    WDW1974, I am curious about your thoughts on Celebration. I drive through while on vacation and it seems like a nice area. Has the housing crash and home values dropping caused disaster or has the experience of living there been not what was expected?

    Using Polynesian Beach

    My family will be staying at the Shades of Green Resort this March. We usually go to the pool there but were thinking of walking over to the Polynesian and going to the beach one day. Is this allowed or is it frowned upon?

    Question on Free Birthday Admission

    Thanks for your comments. I am starting to worry a bit. I have not even gotten a print out or an email or anything. Could be fun trying to get this done. Since I will have a pass for my wife through the veterans deal I was going to try and get the voucher for services. I wonder if that is...
