    Boardwalk, Atlantic Dance Hall security issue 10/22

    Here now, walking back from Epcot to swan via boardwalk and Disney security not allowing anyone past Big River Grill, back side by bridge to swan closed off as well. This started around 10 pm, and every CM I've asked saying nothing on the issue other than you're not allowed to walk by from...

    Disney to reinvent the theme park shopping experience with new mobile app - Shop Disney Parks

    Since they are going to link AP and DVC member discounts to this app, why can't they do the same for magic bands used for purchase in the park? Would be nice to just tap the band at shops that take the discount and get it applied rather than having to show them the card. Not a huge deal, but...

    Space Mountain closing for short refurbishment in January 2016

    Nope, I do as well! I appreciate the smoothness of the DL version, but its far too predictable with only one direction of turn, no decent drops and I don't like the side by side seating arrangement. Its too much of a giant downward corkscrew, less of a coaster. The WDW version can be so much...

    Ideas on what to do on last day?

    at that length of stay its only 10 bucks a person to add a day, why not just take a final run at the parks? Otherwise, maybe do a short resort tour and check out a few of the other resorts, their gift shops and places to eat?

    The Dolphin!

    Surprised no one has mentioned the beds. Let's face it, for the most part a Disney vacation is a physical beat down. 8+ miles walking a day, standing in lines, Florida heat/humidity, etc. . . A restful sleep experience is a must for a multi day trip or else you start to look forward more to...

    The yacht club lobby air freshener

    I do, haven't tried any of their other fragrances, but have had no issues with anything other that one cartridge didn't last as long as it should have (lasted around 3 weeks) and they promptly sent me a replacement at no charge so their service is good as well. I will say that the first time we...

    The yacht club lobby air freshener

    As of 2014 I am fairly certain they were using that smell. I verified with their head of housekeeping, and then again with the company that makes them. I have since ordered the machine and the scent, its a match to me. If I am wrong then 2 people and my nose have fooled me. Enviroscent...

    Dolphin Renovations?

    I think they are just doing this to get higher nightly rates. From my contact, who is a sales manager for SD not just a reservation agent, they are done in Sept with the swan. I bet they are just keeping this booking code up for renovated rooms until they are actually done with the renovation...

    Dolphin Renovations?

    We got married at the swan and keep in touch with one of the hotel sales managers there from our wedding. She was great during our wedding and also extends us our original group rate when we venture back to the swan! News I got from this manager was the swan will finish in September, they are...

    Direct to Room Check in

    For those of you who have AP on a room only reservation and participated in Direct to Room Check in, were you booked on an AP only room discount or just an open to the public discount? I know everytime I have done room only on an AP discount rate they always asked for my AP discount card when I...

    Hotelier Ian Schrager working on Disney Hotels.

    Hotels for Disney based off Walt Disney's own sketches. Wouldn't that include the Asian and Persian resort that was originally planned for 7 Seas Lagoon. Is the occupancy rate at the Deluxe resorts even high enough to justify a new Deluxe? Why do I feel like we have an exclusive DVC only...

    Appalling state of the monorail cabins

    Monorail Teal - That is bad by public mass transit standards. As far as Disney standards are concerned, just WOW.

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't disney purposely not let the trees get to large before replacing them with smaller trees to keep the illusion that the castle is larger that it actually is? If you had large trees in the central hub your view from main street would be diminished as the...

    Let me do a little price comparison and... Wait, that can't be right....

    I agree with the folks above, there is def no need to stay 'onsite', the hotels there are massively overpriced, even moreso than WDW. However, don't expect much more than a place to stay if you stray to the MOTELS on Harbor ave, they are mostly older structures that have updated just enough to...

    spur of the moment

    We are AP holders and do plenty of last min trips (some 3-4 days some longer) and usually just book a value hotel for those trips. Typically POP century and often between $70-95/night with pass holder discount. While this is a bit more expensive than some offsite motel 6 that would run a few...
