    News Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin to eliminate 1136 employees

    While some of it is a ghost town, I'm staring at Luna Park Pool right now from my balcony, and it's busier than an average September night. Now of course that's because the parks are all closed, but it stays pretty busy from mid afternoon on. Epcot closing at 7 now (plus no hopping) has...

    Boardwalk Food Options?

    Boardwalk Bakery has pastries. The ice cream shop there, Ample Hills, permanently closed, but you can walk over to Beaches and Cream at Beach Club.

    A physician’s thoughts after spending 16 nights at Universal and Disney

    Taking one sentence out of a multi-paragraph post is disingenuous at best. Look I'll do it too: Using your logic, this would imply that nobody should go to Disney because it's getting too busy to be safe. But that isn't what @durangojim said either. He didn't express any advice; he posted...

    A physician’s thoughts after spending 16 nights at Universal and Disney

    Yes. In fact the OP seems to be avoiding providing any advice. Not telling anybody where to go or what to do. Certainly not saying what is or is not safe. Almost like a physician that wants to avoid that liability while still providing some observations to fellow Disney fans.

    A physician’s thoughts after spending 16 nights at Universal and Disney

    Honestly, it isn't that difficult to understand. I'm an engineer that builds roads and bridges for a living. I see the world through that lens all the time. My wife (who also happens to be a physician) doesn't notice any of the things that I do, but she does notice things relating to health...

    sign up for mousebits.com It's a torrent site that has a bunch of the BGM for the parks. Years ago I pulled down the star tunnel music.

    My Disney Experience Mobile Order adds Arrival Window, Apple Pay and Gift Cards

    What you call high maintenance, I call thrifty. ;) Not that I specifically used the extra bun trick myself, but I have ordered some 'off menu' items over the years. The app certainly seems to push you towards the larger more expensive options, and I try to keep an eye on my bucks and my belt...

    My Disney Experience Mobile Order adds Arrival Window, Apple Pay and Gift Cards

    I wonder if they'll be adding all the menu options to the mobile ordering system. Maybe it was just me, but when I used it on my last visit, you could really only order from their meals on the menu. For instance, you can't get an extra bun. Nor can you order cups of water, only soda or...

    News Pandora path repainting

    Thanks for the replies. I don't recall ever seeing a post on here about the repainting and couldn't find it in a quick search. Guess I need to up my game. :)

    News Pandora path repainting

    Apologies if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it after a quick search. In Pandora yesterday my wife pointed out they were repainting the main path between NRJ and FOP, with what appeared to be glow in the dark paint. I know the original iteration of this failed, but this is the...

    News Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

    After watching the stream, I don't think it's aweful. I really enjoyed the Tapestry of Nations and Golden Dream segments. Everything else was thoroughly meh. I don't know that anything will every replace ROE in my heart. Too many good memories are associated with that show. I was hoping the...

    News Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine to possibly impact the theme parks this weekend

    Ditto. Arriving at MCO at 8:35am. I'm not worried about the parks, more about my flight.

    Noob Mistakes You Made During Your First WDW Visit

    Not my first trip, but my first with my now wife. Planned to propose at the wishing well in MK on January 22. Forgot about the crane. Doh!

    Next Gen Busses

    I'll disagree on this. Wraps can be done well. Tronorail and Zootopia being good examples in my opinion. These wraps though are very obnoxious. I don't understand why the images have to be so large that they have to crop the character's face.

    Next Gen Busses

    Love the inside. Not a huge fan of the outside. While the outside does have characters like the Skyliner, it still doesn't match the style. Skyliner characters are only in the window and show a somewhat classy bottom half. The buses just have the character smeared over the entire exterior...

    I notices some upgrades to LWTL and star tours

    I'd be happy if they changed the bulb in the old projector. It was very dim leading to a terrible image on screen on my last trip. If they upgraded I'd be thrilled. I'll get to see for myself in 12 days.

    Time in resort vs. Park

    I've always been one to take a mid day break. My wife likes her naps and trips to the pool, and I don't mind an afternoon beer and some snacks while we wind down from a busy morning. Having a toddler now for our trip will make that mid-day break even more important before heading back to the...

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    While I agree it will be a swing bridge, a drawbridge does not require any cabling necessarily. Drawbridges can operate exclusively with hydraulic pistons.

    Best Extinct WDW Foods

    Lots of issues moving around in there for the characters though. The layout of LTT is pretty tight.
