    Annual Pass Previews of Pandora - The World of Avatar beginning May 13

    Same. It's so frustrating. I have the "yes, please send me communications" box checked. And I DO get emails for dining reservations or if there's a problem with my FP+ selection, etc. So it's not that they are incapable of sending me the emails (nor me receiving them) but they just absolutely...

    Annual Pass Previews of Pandora - The World of Avatar beginning May 13

    Ugh. Never got an email. We're Platinum Passholders. What gives? Never saw a link or anything either. :mad:

    Ethan Allen Disney Collection

    I shouldn't be surprised since it's Ethan Allen but man...it's some overpriced pieces!! $139 for a "felt storage box!!" :eek: Cute collection - huge collection! - but way too pricey for me.

    New Tangled Area Photo op?

    Look at the example photo Disney used on their blog post: Background is suitably darker. You can't see a ton of random people. It's closer in on the face. You can clearly make out the sun motif on the lantern itself (the contrast is nicely balanced) as well as the background lanterns. The glow...

    New Tangled Area Photo op?

    Now I will say I've seen other people's photos posted on social media and they came out significantly better than mine. They've been trying different angles and positions on different nights. The good examples look more like the one Disney uses in their Disney Parks Blog post with warmer overall...

    New Tangled Area Photo op?

    So they've been doing this throughout February. People all over social media were going nuts. I guess it was originally supposed to be only 2 weeks or so of testing but it's been held over due to demand. I was there Sunday and there was no information about it, but I asked several cast members...

    Sonny Eclipse Ascending

    Yup. I was there Sunday as well. The music was playing, but Sonny was...er, let's go with "sleeping." LOL He was face down onto the keyboard. We ate lunch - all the while he was continuing to play the music but not move - and then abruptly, a tech turned off the music (man it's weirdly quiet in...

    Secondary sidewalk entrance to Disney's Hollywood Studios now closed for park entry

    You mean the area that's generally a chaotic mass of people complete with queue lines and barricades filling up the entire area? Sure. That's MUCH easier than completely bypassing the mass of people trying to arrive or leave vs the secondary entrance they're closing.:rolleyes:

    Secondary sidewalk entrance to Disney's Hollywood Studios now closed for park entry

    This is so stupid. They have it set up to be VERY unfriendly for pedestrians and if you eliminate the walkway/2nd entrance, you'll force people to cross parking lot and/or traffic instead! There's fencing and other limitations to where and how you can walk. I ALWAYS walk when I go to the...

    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    *sigh* It's like Disney continues to go out of their way to find ways to alienate their loyal fans. Every time something like this comes up, it pushes my lifelong Disney fan husband a little more to the "#&$% them" category. Two weekends ago, we drove out to Wilderness Lodge specifically for a...

    New single day quick service dining plan test to begin at the Magic Kingdom

    I agree. We never eat two full quick service meals in a day. We're Tampa Bay Area AP's so we only head out for a day at a time. We typically eat one meal over the course of our day (which has gone up to costing us nearly $30 for a couple burgers!!) and maybe grab a pretzel or something to share...

    Holidays at the Magic Kingdom 2016

    If decorations are up until the 12th, does that mean holiday items won't hit the outlets until after that date? We were thinking of heading to the outlet this weekend to get some holiday items but maybe we should wait until next weekend instead?

    NYE finale went off early!

    Oh for sure! It's wonderfully thrilling experience. :D

    NYE finale went off early!

    Last night (Dec 30th) they did Holiday Wishes at 7:30pm. Immediately after they did a full New Year's Eve countdown complete with additional perimeter fireworks. Weird time but AMAZING display.

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    Agreed! It was just a perfectly magical night! The cold weather helped add to the Christmas mood, the cast members were totally having fun, the fireworks were awesome and the overall vibe was a great time. On the way out, a CM handed us SIX cookies too. LOL We walked on the monorail without wait...

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    Agreed! We were there last night and it was amazingly empty for a "prime" night. There were rows of CMs forming the walking lines - i.e. directing flow so people only walked on one side of the path going in and one side of the path coming out - but there were such few people that they were...

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    So with Christmas not being as busy as previous years without any phased closing...any speculation on this weekend's NYE crowd levels? I've been sick with bronchitis for a month and have subsequently missed out on just about everything this holiday season - including our traditional Christmas In...

    Large fountain drink cups removed from Magic Kingdom?

    I know personally, my husband and I would typically buy one large beverage and share it at a QS meal. Neither of us needs a full drink on our own but obviously, you want something while eating a meal. So the large served that purpose directly. Jokes on them though because instead of buying two...

    Large fountain drink cups removed from Magic Kingdom?

    Multiple websites are reporting it's no longer possible to buy a "large" sized soft drink anywhere in the Magic Kingdom. A site that shall not be named has an article and others have picked up the story. Right now, no one is exactly sure why this decision has been made — especially during the...

    Passholder Lines

    Hrm...I like the idea. I wonder if it came about due to the fact Passholders tend to move through the entry pretty quickly since we know what to do. There's nothing worse than getting stuck behind people who can't figure entry out to save their life! LOL
