    Bus system for Deluxe Resorts

    Just returned home today following a 7-night stay at Poly. The bus always stopped first at CR and was crowded by the time it arrived at Poly. We were unable to board on several occasions. And this was during the "slow" season! We decided to walk over to TTC to catch busses to AK and HS. The TTC...

    Analyst: Bookings soft at Disney World's moderate and deluxe resorts

    Oops...quote in above post didn't load correctly. To clarify, Poly was $609 more for 7 nights than Beach Club. Garden view for both.

    Analyst: Bookings soft at Disney World's moderate and deluxe resorts

    It seems that Disney's marketing strategy with their resorts is directly analogous to that of their dining plan: increasingly high resort room rack rates are just like the inflated pricing of the menu items (particularly entrees). The exorbitant pricing makes guests feel like they're getting a...

    Disney Villains Dance Mix & Mingle

    Oh, please tell me that the Mistress of All Evil still comes down for M&G after the show?! I like the addition of Facilier, but why oh why did Maleficent have to give up her prominent lead in the show? I was at MNSSHP last year and she was awesome!

    Haunted Mansion T-shirts

    Big HM fan here - love these shirts! Especially the wallpaper styles - very cool! Just wish the HM tees would be offered in a women's cut (fitted and contoured). The boxy unisex cut is not at all flattering to most women. Just ordered the women's MK 40th Anniversary tee with the Cinderella...

    Attn: Ladies!

    I used to carry a small Speedo backpack in the parks - loved the hands-free convenience, but didn't like having to remove the bag from my back every time I needed to get something out of it. And even though my backpack was lightweight and had mesh fabric on the underside of the straps, it made...

    10/1 40th Anniversary Plans?

    Poly celebration Tikiman, any idea what the Poly celebration will involve? And what time of day it might occur? We'll be there as resort guests and may modify our touring plans to return to the Poly earlier on 10/1. Thanks!

    How was your AKL-CL Experience?

    Thanks, Sailor Mouse! We're staying at the Poly again this October but are looking at AKL for 2012. We have an ADR for dinner at Sanaa (first time!) on 10/4 and wanted to check out the main lobby and possibly a room over at Jambo before dinner. We can't deal with the resort-to-resort and...

    Holy $#@!...Did you see the price increases?!

    This is excellent advice!!! And precisely what we have decided to do during our trip next month. Character meals have gotten too pricey and take too much time away from touring the parks. The value is simply not there for us anymore. Particularly since we aren't the type of family who can take...

    September 2011 Roll Call......

    Just paid MYW package balance! Thankfully, 0% financing for 6 months with Chase Disney Rewards Visa. Poly 9/29-10/6. I can (almost) taste that Dole Whip now! MNSSHP on 10/2. Looking forward to another photo op with The Mistress of All Evil. And hopefully meeting Flynn Rider (rumored to be...

    Winnie the Pooh

    This is so true. DVDs have certainly changed things. I would love to see Fantasia again on the big screen! It is my favorite Disney film. I have wonderful memories of seeing it in the theatre as a young child with my mother. Regarding the new Pooh movie... I thought it was very sweet and...

    At WDW now - Magic is alive and well!

    Looking forward to your TR! Our trip is in 42 days and we have an ADR at Sanaa for dinner. First time eating there - very excited! We usually stay at MK monorail resorts, but are seriously considering AKL for 2012. Can't wait to read your impressions of the resort.

    Crazy question but...

    Since you are dining at the Contemporary...you *could* park your car at the resort and walk to and back from the MK. If you plan to stay at MK until park close, you won't have to deal with long lines for monorail or ferry to get back to your car at T&TC :animwink:

    Crazy question but...

    Another option is to take the walkway to the Magic Kingdom after breakfast at Chef Mickey's. Only takes about 10 minutes to walk from Contemporary to MK. You will avoid a crowded monorail ride.

    New WDW Monorail System hours

    Good point about DRC not being located on property. If the internal memos aren't read by all of the DRC staff, then it's not hard to see how inaccurate information is being communicated to the public (both guests with confirmed reservations and potential guests). I phoned DRC and asked to be...

    New WDW Monorail System hours

    Unfortunately, there is a lot of conflicting and inaccurate information being communicated to guests (and potential guests) by DRC. There was an internal memo sent to Reservations about the change in monorail hours, but it seems not everyone actually read it. I tested this hypothesis yet...
