    The Lillie Belle is home

    In addition to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society does steam restoration and servicing. So that may be another option.

    Changes at WDW due to alligator attack (dedicated thread)

    So happy to see Louis returned to the castle show. I was concerned they would go overboard and remove all references to crocs and gators (as rumored). We were there for 10 days shortly after "the incident" and I kept watching croc and gator themed installations to see what would happen. This...

    A Theory as to What Disney is "Missing" These Days

    I'm hoping we'll see some of that synergy in some of the new lands that are coming. If that happens (and it very well might) it will be very exciting to say the least. Edited to add that I'm not one of those that's against progress. I do think the parks need to evolve. I'd just like to retain...

    A Theory as to What Disney is "Missing" These Days

    Another thing I think is important to point out here is that application of technology alone isn't enough to inspire. It's a total package- the story, the artistry, the message and the technology. It's the synergy of those things that Walt Disney (the man) was a master of and that the WDC seems...

    A Theory as to What Disney is "Missing" These Days

    Also to be clear, I'm also agreeing with you that the lack of optimism now seen in park offerings could easily be reflective of lack of optimism within the leadership of the company - a manifestation of it, if you will.

    A Theory as to What Disney is "Missing" These Days

    I started visiting DL in the 70s and Epcot / WDW in the 80s and I am on board with what you are saying. One of the things that always made those places so magical for me were the innovations in the parks. The AAs were amazing to me, the tech on display in FW was inspiring. We see new tech in the...

    Do you ever get bored with a resort when staying for several nights?

    We always stay for 10 days at a time and never get tired of the resort. In reality, we don't spend much waking time there. We spend most of our time in the parks.

    Has anyone had any stellar experiences with cast members lately?

    Last week we were seated and waiting for Fantasmic to start when a guest behind us tripped with a full cup of beer and dumped it on the back of my young son's shirt. I went to the top of the seating area to ask a CM the fastest way to the closest gift shop and why I needed to quickly buy my...

    I will never stay off site. It is Disney or nothing.

    I'm the vacation planner and it's my role to keep everything running smoothly and everyone happy during our vacations. Staying on property just makes this so much easier for our family. I have two small children who know how to ride all of the Disney transport, navigate the food options at our...

    Mosquitoes at Disney

    I'm also prone to mosquito bites and have a terrible time with them at home in Michigan. We just returned from an 11 day trip to WDW and I did not get a single bite, nor did anyone else in my family. I am pretty amazed actually. We took mosquito repellant with DEET, just in case, but didn't end...

    Frozen broken down again?

    That was my experience on June 28th. We had a FP for 12:30 but I had read some speculation about posted vs. actual wait times for this ride. So, although the standby time posted was 90 minutes, we decided to give it a try. We got in line at 11:30 and were on the ride by 12:15- so a 45 minute...

    Frozen Ever After opening day

    We fly in Thursday but I held off booking a FP for this until the following Tuesday hoping some of the bugs would be worked out by then. I'm keeping an eye on this for sure.

    Allergy problems with magicband

    As others have said, wearing the magicband isn't required but I do find it convenient. There are sellers on Etsy that make magicband covers. Here is one that ships to Spain...
