    Realityland?

    I recently read it, also as a prelude to an upcoming trip in September, and overall I enjoyed it, but felt that the second half of the book felt rushed. The first half did an excellent job of presenting the initial construction story in great detail, which is obviously the heart of the story...

    Why does Disney put up with the Sci-Fi Drive In?

    I've never looked at Sci-Fi as being popular so much for the food as for the ambiance.

    Nemo Goes Belly Up

    This appears to be a common occurance. When we saw it in late November the show started with the curtain opening and then it immediately shut and they had to pause and restart in a minute or two. Then it got to the point where the mines explode and the lights came up and we were told the...

    Dining Plan Service ?

    I'm so tired of this myth that the DDP acts as a disincentive to the servers. If anything, the DDP is a huge benefit to the servers, not a negative. First, it likely drives diners to order more expensive things, which is what their built in tip is based on. Second, it provides a guaranteed...

    DME when do we get the luggage tags?

    We received ours maybe a month prior.

    A little ol' trip report . . . Thanksgiving 06

    We were there Thanksgiving Day through the following Wednesday, and I can attest to the crowds. We arrived on Thanksgiving and decided to go to Epcot, getting there around 11:30am. We thought that would be less crowded, but all the major attractions had 100+ minute waits and the earliest...

    I Switched Resorts...

    I actually agree with you, as my wife and I just returned from a week long stay at the Boardwalk. We had stayed there before, but we were still marvelling at what a great atmosphere it is. With the water and the hotels and restaurants along it, I honestly don't think any other hotel touches...

    I Switched Resorts...

    I've stayed at WL, and it's really not that much of a hassle to get on the WL boat after Wishes. I'd take WL's ambiance over the concrete slab any day. Seriously, we were there last week and took the monorail through it and to me it's one of the ugliest hotels I've ever seen.

    POR late checkout? Our flight is at 10pm

    As far as I know, if you wanted to use the room past 11am you would have to pay for another day. We were just at WDW last week and our flight wasn't until 7pm, so we just left our bags with the bellhop and went to the parks until we had to head back to the hotel and catch our ME bus.

    No more MVMCP photos?

    My wife and I were there on 11/27, and we thought the event was great. What, the dealbreaker for some people is a free photo?!? That's crazy. To us, the opportunity to be in the park with a much smaller, more pleasant and enthusiastic crowd, with the special decorations and shows was well...

    Five Strikes Against Magic Kingdom On Thanksgiving Night

    We were at WDW from Thanksgiving through yesterday (11/29), and we now think Epcot is the worst park to go to on busy days. There are only a few premiere rides, and most are not designed for large numbers of people. Soarin' is a joke. You absolutely have to get there first thing to get a...

    Are Unfairly Left Out of YOMD?

    What you describe is so illegal it's not even funny. If Disney operated this way, and I can assure you they don't, they would open themselves to so many lawsuits that they would be out of business pretty quickly. Get a clue.

    Disney/MGM NEW SHOW Survey - Weird

    The main key is quality. If the shows are of broadway quality then I see no reason why this couldn't work. Go to Brown Derby for a nice pre-theatre meal and then head to a broadway quality show. If it's of the quality of the current in-park musical shows - like Lion King or Tarzan was - then...

    Splenda

    I don't really want to get into a huge debate, but I would consult your doctor before greenlighting Splenda while pregnant. There are several studies accesible via the internet that claim sucralose has harmful long-term effects. Obviously, all these studies are debated, and at this point it's...

    Water Park question

    Yeah, I remember going once as a kid and the lake thing didn't really work for me. The water had that "lake smell" and there were little fish swimming around.

    Park Hopper Pass??

    Yeah, I think the deal with that is the 10 trips have to be spread out over 10 days. If you got two 5-day passes you could do that, but obviously that would not longer be cost-efficient.

    PI Construction

    You're assuming that everyone going in for free will be drinking. The cover is likely there to cover the entertainment at clubs like AC, CW, and RnRBC against people that would just go for those shows. The other way you could handle it would be calling it a drink-minimum and provide drink...

    Dessert on DDP at lunch question

    I've never heard that either. My plan, since I'm in the same boat as you as far as dessert with lunch, is to eat at places that have a cookie or something portable as dessert, to save for later.

    What.........

    That is so true. The thing Walt had above all others was vision and great instincts. He wouldn't have hesitated for a second to buy those rights.

    What.........

    Why would Walt roll over in his grave? He obviously had an attraction to storytelling and "magic," so what's the problem?
