    What does TDO have against Benches?

    Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.... Okay - so TDO doesn't hate benches quite as much as I thought they did when I started this minor thread. Inside the Int'l Gateway, at least four of the wooden benches have been returned - looking nicely re-varnished I might add. No indication yet what might...

    Is it just me or have some shows gotten shorter?

    Let's not forget that the CP was shortened a couple of years ago. 1 song was cut and the reading of One Solitary Life is also gone. Total cuts of 8 to 10 minutes I would guess.

    What does TDO have against Benches?

    So you can now walk from any Epcot resort and not encounter a bench until you get to the UK or France. All the benches inside IG have been removed and you'll see the smokers sitting on the sidewalk and little kids lying on the ground. Ok, I thought maybe these were moved to accommodate more...

    Canadian Lumberjack Show to open at Epcot's Canada Pavilion in early October

    Thanks to whoever posted the video. Having (mostly) skimmed through 14 minutes of "Fat Guys in Plaid" I can say beyond any shadow of a doubt that there's no chance - in my remaining days on the planet - that I will ever see this in person. Looks like I'll be tackling World Showcase in a...

    Eat to the Beat

    I'll go out on a limb and pretty much guarantee that you'll have no problem at all getting a seat for the second and third shows and probably not even the first. I was over last Friday night and went to the first set without queuing up and got a seat 15 minutes before showtime. Monday is not...

    A Tidbit for you Weather Watchers

    As of today - September 30 - there is a new record for the number of rain days in September - a total of 23. The old record of 22 was set exactly 100 years ago in 1914. Generally - these rains have not been the one hour or half hour variety. This has been half day or all day or all night...

    All Epcot F&W Bottle Purchases MUST go through pickup!

    I posted my 2012 bottle buying experience because someone said this rule had been in effect for 10 years when clearly it has not. No confusion here at all.

    All Epcot F&W Bottle Purchases MUST go through pickup!

    As recently as 2012, I bought a bottle in the Festival Center, had it signed by the winemaker and took it with me from the building. I've never had to pick one up at the gate.

    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    Clearly you're trying to stir the pot here. I mean saying nice things about someone who is officially considered one of the media whores around these parts.

    Man visits WDW for 365 days

    I don't know if I could or would want to do 365 but like some others, I'm at the parks a lot - probably 50 or 60 days so far this year with maybe another 30 to go for F&W and Christmas. Sometimes maybe to just loop World Showcase a couple of times for exercise or grab a coffee and sit...

    EPCOT Entertainment cuts

    I'll just go ahead and jump the gun and speculate that I think the handwriting is probably on the wall for the Sounds Like Summer concert series.

    New Return Procedure at Soarin'

    Unlimited FP+? I'll take your word for it but what do you mean exactly?

    New Return Procedure at Soarin'

    My question is this - Why now? To state the obvious, Soarin' has been enormously popular since opening and more days than not has had unpleasantly long SB lines, as do a few other well known attractions. So why now? This doesn't really have anything to do with FP+ - this "test" could have...

    Eat to the Beat Concert Packages

    Yes, this was done on a pretty regular basis last year. Oddly though, at several concerts I went to, they had room for 40 to 60 people roped off on the far left side in the uncovered area. But by the time the concert started, there was either no one in the reserved section or just a handful of...

    Eat to the Beat Concert Packages

    I could turn out to be wrong about this, but I don't see this being a real big seller - partially due to cost and partly due to many of the acts being pretty dated. I talked to a Disney manager last week about this and he said it hasn't been decided yet if this will be offered throughout the...

    New Anna/Elsa standby procedure?

    This should make the guests who were turned away over the previous ten hours pretty happy if they hear about this. This seems like a lot of other things at Disney - "this is the rule until it isn't".
