    Resort arcade ?

    The arcade at Pop was open and running in September. The arcade at the Contemp was in full swing as well. I could not find one at the Poly. I think it must be gone. The one at the GF was weak to begin with last year. Relatedly, the Space mountain exit Arcade is gone.

    Best Country Songs of All Time

    What about "Blood on the Saddle"? Seriously, reading through the post and thinking about the Top 40 I saw, I agree about Alabama, they have some classics. Perhaps they are not considered country? Most of the ones that came to my mind I found in the Top 90, which is somewhat of a testament to...

    Finally phasing out Night of Joy

    Having actually been there the last seven years, I have some thoughts on your questions. My two biggest areas of improvement the event has needed are this: 1. Viewing of the main stage from the Hub area. This has been addressed by the Hub redesign. It was so, so much better this year. 2...

    Finally phasing out Night of Joy

    The storm that night was tremendous. Monorail was shut down for quite some time. I eventually had to walk from the Contemporary to the front of the MK to catch a boat to the Poly. People were missing their ressies for the Poly dinner show because they could not get there. IT was pouring!

    Disney movies you think are underrated?

    Meet The Robinson's was the first to come to my mind. It combines a heart touching story of "family-is-who-you-make-it", with the principles of one of Walt's primary visions: Keep Moving Forward.

    My Quick Service experience

    We got back Sunday from a trip in which we usually have gotten TS plan, but got QS plan this time. We found that we enjoyed it as well. There was so much variety that I did not get to try everything i wanted to last week! Even the burgers at Pop have many different incarnations. One thing I did...

    Trip Report Most crowded September WDW visit ever!

    I just got back from our week there. We have been going the week of labor day since 2009. I agree, it is more crowded this year than in years previous' same week visits. Of course, it is still less crowded than most weeks. We too noticed that it seemed that a majority of the guest were from...

    Night Of Joy 2015 Lineup

    and you would be right. One of the most disappointing closures to me personally is Jungle Cruise. Others include Tiki room, Hall of Presidents, Monsters Inc (sadly). One of the frustrations as a guest is when rides that are supposed to be open, are closed for long periods. I suspect guest...

    Night Of Joy 2015 Lineup

    Yea, it is no where near that crowded when it is sold out. Both nights sold out last year and it was manageable.

    Night Of Joy 2015 Lineup

    I would say that is a good estimate. I was thinking 20,000 or more, but not 30,000. That is based off of how crowded it "feels" compared to day visits.

    Direct to Room Check In

    Thanks. I generally prefer human interaction, especially welcoming, friendly CM's. However, due to circumstances, this may work best for us this time.

    Direct to Room Check In

    It seems to me that WDW was recently testing direct to room on line check in. Is this on going testing still? Or has it been adopted? Nixed?

    Night Of Joy 2015 Lineup

    In 2009 we saw POD at DHS. As well as skillet. From my perspective neither held back. FWIW.

    Making the leap to Moderate Resorts -- Advice

    FQ is smaller, therefore is easier to navigate and will have fewer guest demand on resources. I think the QS food court has better options. It's theme is consistent and well executed. Riverside has a varied theme, bayou and plantation. Both are well executed. It is larger but does not seem...

    Making the leap to Moderate Resorts -- Advice

    I have stayed at all of the mods. CBR is our least favorite. Reasons of the top of my head: rooms, layout, food choices, landscaping. Between CSR and the PO's, I am torn. I like all three a lot and would recommend any of three.
