Let me preface this post by saying that I don't intend it to be critical of anyone--we all have bad days. It seems that tonight was one of those nights at Fantasmic where things were a bit off kilter. First time I've ever experienced them having to start the show 3 times before it began...

FOTLK Question Saw the show (Tivo recorded it due to it having WDW in the description). I fast forwarded through everything except the FotLK at the end. I love that show and have probably seen it 5 times since December. As I was watching it, I tried to see if I could recognize any of the...

My wife and I are taking another couple with us to WDW this weekend. We're AP-holders, but the other couple haven't been to Disney before. We plan to spend Saturday in the MK. Sunday we'll have to leave WDW to drive home around 2 p.m. or so. What I'd like to do is have a nice Sunday noon meal...

I'm soo excited. My wife and I just made reservations for 8 nights at AKL in early June. We booked the rooms using the AP rate. We've never stayed there before, and I'm sure we won't get great rooms at the lowest rate. Can anyone offer any helpful hints regarding this trip? Any tips on...

I'm going next weekend (the 14th and 15th) and am rather concerned because the WDW resorts all seemed to be booked full. To me that would suggest really big crowds. A bit surprising since this is supposed to be a slow time in the parks.

Not sure how you're showing moderate rooms during that date. If I go to the WDW website and look for "room only" for May 13-15, the initial screen shows lots of options. When I click on any of the moderates, the only one that actually shows availability is a Junior Suite at Coronado Springs. At...

My wife, some friends, and I were planning a weekend trip to WDW May 13-15. According to the Unofficial Guide this is normally a slow weekend. I expected that with the 50th Anniversary that might not be the case. What I didn't expect was our inability to get a hotel room! We don't want to...

The email I received from Disney regarding the event indicated its hours would be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

My sister-in-law is a cast member. My wife and I are going to the AP preview of Soarin next weekend. Anyone know if they'll let my SIL ride with us (since she's not an AP holder). Do they let non-AP people that are just guests in the park ride (like a general soft opening)?

Now that you mention it, we did stop at the Poly. I remembered because I had never seen it up close and thought it was neat that I finally got that opportunity. It wasn't a peak time when I was there, so perhaps they were running things differently to allow for maintenance and such.

I suppose anything is possible, but if you're leaving the MK ticket area, isn't the only monorail one that takes you to the MK? I remember that one going through the Contemporary but not stopping anywhere. The one I rode this time stopped, as I recall, at the Grand Floridian on the way to the...

My SIL is a seasonal cast member right now working at WWoS. She's been able to pick up some shifts at various other parks over the past few weeks and has done a lot of training. One training that she's heard of but has not had deals with how the parks would be evacuated in the event of an...

A few weeks ago when I visited the MK I noticed that they were doing a good bit of renovation to the monorail platforms in some locations. I also noticed that instead of going straight to the MK from the ticket plaza, we actually stopped at a few hotels. I assumed that perhaps the monorail was...

My wife and I will be there on Saturday. Anyone know if they let non-AP people ride with you if they're in your group? My sister-in-law and her husband are seasonal CMs, and they haven't been able to get to see Soarin' yet. We'll be driving in and hanging out with them all day. It would be...

I'm an Annual Passholder who lives about 7 hours from WDW. I'm contemplating heading to WDW for the Soarin' AP preview mid-April. I'm wondering what kind of crowd to expect for that event. When I've made these weekend trips before, I've driven all night Friday, had Saturday totally to devote...

I live in Pensacola where Hurricane Ivan hit. The bridge that is problematic is Escambia Bay Bridge. Headed east there is only 1 lane of traffic. During the day, expect significant delays headed that direction. On Friday 12/17 my wife and I went to WDW. We left Pensacola at 2:30 p.m. It...

I took no offense to anyone's response to my post. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew I wasn't a cheater. :) (As Gail noticed, we were told by a CM yesterday that we should redeem our vouchers "later today or tomorrow." My wife and I discussed this for about 30 seconds and I told her...

I did not know that my post would generate such a controversy here. I don't in any way feel that WDW or any CM created a problem or was trying to cheat us. Also, we didn't cheat as well. I posted what I did here just because I thought it was an ususual situation. I have no idea if this had...

Spent today at the Magic Kingdom on day 1 of a 5 day Christmas WDW vacation. Had something unusual happen that I wasn't prepared for. We ordered FL annual passes via the web about 2 months ago and received the yellow plastic voucher cards. When we checked in at the park this morning they...

I'm planning a trip during that timeframe as well, and I'm rather confused about crowd expectations. I was told that in recent years 12/25 was very full, and 12/26-12/31 was also very busy. But people who visited the park the week prior to Christmas last year said that it was very low...
