The first time I went to WDW in 1983, I stayed off-site. In fact, I stayed in the Don CeSar Hotel in St. Pete, a pink monstrosity of a beach resort hotel, but with great service and facilities -- at a top price. After that, my family has visited many times, staying on- and off-site, at low cost...

Watched the WDWMagic video, and at about 6:40 into the video, it sounded like the bass singers were saying "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit," which, of course, has been gone for years from the Land pavilion. Checked it several times, and it really sounded like it. Since the fireworks' theme is...

With my kids (and even before), I loved coasters of all types, the bigger and faster the better. (I didn't love head-bangers, though.) Now, though, without the kids, we still go to the parks, and just don't ride the coasters, but we still enjoy the parks. As to whether the parks would survive...

That room issue is not unique to Disney. I've had the exact same experience at other hotels, generally during large conventions when great masses of people check in all at once.

The Mark Twain holds a special place in my memories. Almost 60 years ago (of course, this was at Disneyland and long enough ago that there were tickets for the rides), I was chatting with some Navy sailors on leave who were spending their time at Disneyland and right then were on the Mark Twain...

Depends on what you mean by "must do's". These days, we make up a list to choose from while we're at a particular place in the park, depending on circumstances of the day. Here are some of our choices in AK for places with particular dishes that have been highly-rated in the various food blogs...

Fantasia mini-golf!!! So much fun ... especially if you like the more difficult courses (the theming actually makes up for the higher difficulty holes for mini-duffers on plain Fantasia Gardens). And if you want a really challenging course, try the Fairways. Back when they had an actual...

Thanks for the TR, especially for the great pix! When our youngest was 2.5, the ONLY ride he freaked out on was Small World. So you got lucky on that one.

LoL! The title stumped me for a minute, but then I saw where you were staying. Looking forward to reading it.

Reasons vary over time. I still remember my first time in WDW in 1983 (I've been going to DL since the 50's): drove in from Tampa in the early morning, and as I entered the long drive to MK, fog rolled in and covered everything. Things just appeared out of the mist and it was magical, like...

So, after Donald the Driver, everything's going to get better and better! 👍

Just working up my own dining/snack list for an upcoming visit, and having the same lackluster reaction to the current TS offerings. For an upcoming two-week trip, our preliminary draft has three pages (single-spaced), but only two TS listed in MK and one each in AK and HS (you said you didn't...

@Pepper's Ghost Or another formulation would be: "Moderation in all things, even moderation." But you can trace that one back to the Greek poet Hesiod (700AD): "observe due measure; moderation is best in all things." Or Oscar Wilde, Ben Franklin and others: "Moderation in all things, including...

Ahem, back to the original topic, which does actually have significant value in a few cases (and I'm not talking bodily urges). So my favorite is one the OP said he was unfamiliar with, and there's a reason for that: Some of the public rest rooms in MK were near interactive player video screens...

Chocolate Sauce with bourbon and homemade cherry extract!

Even without being picky, a recommendation would require a bit more information. For example, do you have wheels, and if so, how far do you want to go? Do you want fancy or expensive? Do you use one of the rating services (and do you know how to screen out the fake reviews on those)? Warning...

Count me as a yes, even though this might be a bit late. If you're looking for deep story or super dialogue, this is the wrong movie. But if you're looking for cutting edge artistic animation (that's not anime), this is an excellent example. The later parts of the movie have some fabulous...

LOL!
