    RIP Robin Williams..... Forever Our Genie

    It is hard to believe that the man who brought to life Genie in Aladdin has gone to his great reward. Such a great talent.... such a huge loss. May he rest in peace. Prayers to his family, friends and fans.

    Iger Confirms Star Wars Domestic Parks Presence

    That was the point I was trying to make. Omnimovers are fine, if they do something interesting with them. Too much of anything is boring.... yes, maybe there are only 5 Omnimovers, but they are too similar.

    WL, AKL or POR?

    While you are there, make sure to check out the resort decorations... they are all themed to their respective resorts and absolutely gorgeous. We stayed at Disney 2 Christmases ago and spent the day after Christmas touring many of them. Definitely worth it! 1st is the Contemporary Below is The...

    TJ (Manager at Grand Floridian), Mary, Emily, Jerry, Jordan, Ashvil.....

    If this is the Jordan I think he is, he most definitely deserves all of the great recognition he gets! I've known him for a long time, and he always goes above and beyond for his guests! Congratulations Jordan... keep Making the Magic!:)

    CM Trouble at DHS

    There definitely was a better way to get his point across, but I try to put myself if that person's shoes. He is trying to look out for the safety of guests who (let's face it) aren't exactly paying attention because they are so excited to be in the presence of "The Mouse" and do have a bad...

    Poll: O'Hana or The Wave

    I would say 'Ohana, but you will need to make your reservations pretty early. It definitely is more entertaining, has a better view, and I have to say those appetizers they bring to the table are seriously yummy....not to mention that dessert!:inlove: It does book up pretty quickly, though...

    Fav QS at MK and HS?

    MK: Pecos Bills and Columbia Harbor House. I am hoping to some day try Be Our Guest counter service, but it might be a while. I've heard good things, though! DHS: Fairfax Fare and Studio Catering Company. Starring Rolls has good sandwiches, too.

    Iger Confirms Star Wars Domestic Parks Presence

    Nothing, in moderation.... there are just way too many.... let's see... Haunted Mansion , Buzz LIghtyear, Ariel's Undersea Adventure, The LIving Seas with Nemo and friends, Spaceship Earth, ... I guess what I am getting at is there is different technology out there to have more variety.... maybe...

    Tipping in Hotels

    Tipping... can be a touchy subject due to culture differences, experience, etc. Having had to support myself on tips for years, I tend to tip above the norm. Even if I receive sub-par service, I will not completely withhold a tip--- I will instead take it up with management, because not...

    WL, AKL or POR?

    All of those hotels are wonderful, but of them, my favorite it Port Orleans Riverside. No, it isn't a deluxe resort, but it's newly refurbished, and everyone is so friendly and accommodating. We have NEVER had a bad stay there, and we have stayed there 10+ times (guess you could say we are...

    Iger Confirms Star Wars Domestic Parks Presence

    Well, if they are announcing it now, I guess we will actually see it in 2020. I am happy they are actually going to be throwing a bone to poor Hollywood Studios, but it frustrates me to no end how long it takes Disney to complete projects. I hope this "new" land will have something for...

    LeFou's Brew....the verdict?

    In one word....LeFou's Brew......."EWWWWWW":in pain: There is absolutely no comparison. Basically, take very sour apple juice and put a sweetish frothy foam on top and you've got LeFou's Brew. The sweet froth is not enough to counteract the sourness of the apple juice. I ended up throwing the...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    The Polynesian was the most unique of all of the Disney properties, partly due to it's lush, living tropical lobby. We would always visit because it made you feel as though you had truly arrived in the tropics of the South Pacific. It was a very calming influence in the middle of a very hectic...

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I am personally very glad that the Harry Potter Franchise went with Universal. Disney didn't want to give over the amount of freedom it took to make Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley the phenomenons they have and are becoming. I could not even fathom the thought of Harry, Hermione or Ron in Mouse...
