    Holidays Around the World at Epcot 2016

    I am so excited about this. Disney, Christmas, AND food?! I'm in heaven. The slow roasted turkey looks amazing. And I'll definitely be stopping by the Alpine House for the "duck confit, dumplings and roasted Brussels sprouts with a fig reduction." Spiked peppermint hot chocolate, chocolate...

    Death at Driving Experience

    It says here that even though it is a separate experience from the Richard Petty Driving Experience, the Exotic Driving Experience is still owned by Petty Holdings, which has put out a statement in response to the incident...

    Resort Recommendations for July

    If you are trying to avoid busses, then any of the monorail resorts would obviously be good choices. If you aren't interested in Contemporary, Poly is beautiful and more kid-friendly (in my opinion) than Grand Floridian. Also agree with the Wilderness Lodge for all of the reasons mentioned by...

    Wilderness Lodge DVC additions - Copper Creek Villas & Cabins

    Well that is really sad. This resort has been like my sanctuary when I'm staying on site. I'm with you when you say that you're afraid of how this may turn out for WL. :arghh: :cry:

    Wilderness Lodge DVC additions - Copper Creek Villas & Cabins

    How much would a conversion of rooms to DVC impact WL? If two floors of the south wing were to be converted, will that significantly impact how difficult it is to book a room at WL? I don't know much about DVC, but WL is my favorite resort (and the current lower prices for this resort compared...

    Going out on a limb...

    Trying new foods can be such fun. :) For the days you don't already have ADRs... In Epcot: -Via Napoli in Italy has really amazing pizzas. -I'm not sure what your palette's choice is on Mexican, but I do know some picky eaters who are fine with Mexican or at least tacos, if nothing else. If...

    October 2015 Vacation!

    How about one fancier night in one of the places suggested by @wdwmagic and @Mickey81, and then doing one night in Epcot? Monsieur Paul is a lovely option in France. But California Grill with a view of Wishes is hard to beat for a really special night.

    favorite Non Attraction rides in Disney

    1. The boat ride from MK to Wilderness Lodge. I love that resort so much and pulling into the area just makes me feel like I'm going on an adventure. 2. The horse and carriage rides at Port Orleans!

    Rainy Day Plans or Traditions?

    In my book, a rainy day at Disney is still better than being anywhere else. So, if you have unlimited time at the parks or you aren't on a time constraint... What do you like to do on rainy days? Hang out in a resort lobby? Put on a poncho and brave it like a normal day? Have a few drinks...

    Boardwalk Inn or Contemporary Resort?

    Boardwalk for me! I love the themeing, I love the decor, I love the proximity to Epcot and HS and all of the restaurant options there. And I really love walking along the boardwalk in the early evening and taking in all the sights and smells.

    how crowded is "really crowded"?

    Please, don't let all of this ruin your trip. Like you said, you are looking to mentally prepare. I live an hour from the park and go all throughout the year, regardless of the crowds. I spent 4 days at Disney last year between Christmas and New Years, which is about the biggest nightmare of...

    how crowded is "really crowded"?

    Instead of 'I would NEVER go then, don't do it,' he's saying that if you go with the right mentality, it can be enjoyed. Like you said, the OP is going next week and there's not much that can be done about it. It seems like @CAPTAIN HOOK was doing a good thing by posting something productive.

    What is your favorite restaurant for "Italian" Cuisine?

    I am not Italian (but I do wish I were) and I have dated many Italians, and boy do I miss their cooking! I have nothing to offer here, but I am so excited to see what people have to say about this topic! I hear time and time again about how good the pizza is at Via Napoli, but I'd love to hear...

    Late June - 4 Nights - All Parks - Can it be done

    3 Favourite things to do at resorts

    Three of my must do things when I visit: 1. Walking around the Boardwalk, especially around sunset, slipping into the lobby of BW, YC & BC, taking in the atmosphere and people watching. 2. Curling up in a rocking chair by the fireplace at Wilderness Lodge. 3. Grabbing a drink and enjoying the...
