    Best backpack for WDW?

    As former DINC's who were expecting on our last trip, I'd recommend the backpack from Tactical Baby Gear as a solo backpack/diaper bag. We typically run around the parks without a bag, but took that one with us this past August as a trial for our trip next year with our new DD. It worked out...

    Does Disney still send the welcome booklet...

    Got ours this week. Booked October 18 for a September DVC stay.

    DHS Parking lot remodel and expansion

    With bridge decks you do want it to reach full design strength, but dependent on the mix you can reach that design strength in a much shorter period of time. I usually see a 4500psi design mix, with the mix itself hitting around 6000 in 28 days. Concrete can continue curing and hardening for...

    News Park attendance showing significant softness heading into the Fall 2018

    I did. I'm used to posting on sports forums and sometimes forget the audience here. Thought better of my wording within a minute or two.

    News Park attendance showing significant softness heading into the Fall 2018

    Well, I had salmon sushi at Japan's stand, so....yep. I think I had about 10 orders of the potato pancakes over the last 2 years. I would have been disappointed that they weren't there this year, but we had to move our trip to August.

    News Park attendance showing significant softness heading into the Fall 2018

    True. The portion sizes always seem a bit small for the money. When we go, we don't sample even half of what's available mainly due to the pricing. Those potato pancakes w/ lox though. Mmmmmm

    Worthwhile bars

    I'd always recommend Jellyrolls, and if you're into craft beer, Big River isn't bad. There still isn't anything on the level of Trader Sams though.

    News Park attendance showing significant softness heading into the Fall 2018

    Yes, those buggers. That was the best part of Pecos Bills, despite its unnatural green color.

    Worthwhile bars

    Not really. I would recommend the Polite Pig Bourbon Bar and Jock Lindsey's Hanger Bar, both at Disney Springs.

    Anyone Know What Concrete Is Used at Magic Kingdom?

    Speaking from a DOT perspective, most states use 3000-3500 psi design strength concrete for sidewalk (with the results often much higher). 4" thickness is sufficient for standard sidewalk, 6" in driveways. The material is plenty hard to resist shovels. As drizgirl said, the freeze-thaw cycle...

    MuppetVision 3D Issues

    Bean AA was working on Saturday as were the bubbles. No water though and the 3D image was horrible. Not sure if the projectors were out of sync or what, but I had to watch the entire show with one eye closed. Told a manager after the show and she said they were working on it. Honestly, I'm...

    News Improvements coming to the entrances of all four Walt Disney World theme parks

    Safe to assume this will remove the much hated Leave a Legacy as well?

    Suggestion for seafood in Epcot?

    Nine Dragons is equivalent to your local, sit-down Chinese Restaurant. And the theming really isn't that special either. Save your money and go elsewhere. It's the weakest of all the Showcase restaurants.

    News Friendship Boat service to Disney's Hollywood Studios closing for refurbishment

    Thanks! I checked another thread mentioning the refurb, but I guess I missed this one.

    News Friendship Boat service to Disney's Hollywood Studios closing for refurbishment

    Are there any updates on this? Just curious as we'll be heading to Dolphin in about a month.

    Craft Beer

    Special attention to this as it is an actual brewery at Boardwalk & is accessible from Epcot's International Gateway. Food is average, but the beer is tasty. Had a pleasant conversation with the (master?) brewer there once.

    Why Walt Disney World Needs a 5th Theme Park By 2025

    There's one major reason that a new park can't take 10 years. They cannot profit from a park under construction. When you look at Pandora, Toy Story Land, and Galaxy's Edge, these were all built in parks that are already profitable with daytime tickets, food and merchandise. They must build...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    It is a very quick timeline. Something else to consider: Building EPCOT is also the type of work that brings multiple national companies into an area, that have more resources to throw around. Building Tron and other current projects is more of a job for local/regional construction companies...

    Honeymoon help

    Though it isn't for everyone, Victoria & Albert's is great for a romantic dinner. My wife and I did it after getting married at the Swan. Amazing food, an optional wine paring, and a live harp. Warning: If you go once, you'll most likely want to go again and it isn't cheap.
