    Plussing Test Track's outdoor segment.

    The easy way would be to enclose the track and add the cityscape. I find the ride boring and unimaginative. It had so much potential but it falls short for me. I know others love it. I am a mechanical engineer that worked in the automotive industry for years, you would think I would love this...

    Package booked at Dolphin with parks tickets...

    Did you receive a confirmation number, this will not automatically show up in MDE, you will need to enter the number yourself. A couple of times I needed to call and get this done over the phone when the app kept not registering the number. This only seems to happen with non Disney run hotels.

    Swan or French Quarter

    Our last stay in December we were upgrade to a balcony with a clear view of the geosphere, I was able to click some nice photos of the fireworks. It was very nice. What is the Frozen fireworks? It does seem to happen a lot at the Swan and Dolphin.

    Swan or French Quarter

    We usually get upgraded to a balcony when ever we stay at the Swan or Dolphin, but when we booked through Expedia we were told by the front desk that they were unable to upgrade us because of the Expedia booking. So unless it is an amazing deal that Starwood can't match, we will not be doing...

    ok, all you Punxsutaweny Phils of Disney world, what's your prediction for the future of WDW?

    I don't feel the economy is that strong, manufacturing has been declining, unemployment is low but that doesn't account for the actual low numbers of employed, many have never returned to the work force since the last recession. Wages for the middle and lower class has not kept up even with the...

    Does anyone NOT like Flight of Passage?

    The full pre-show is there to get a group ready when the ride before it is finished. If we didn't have the pre-show than guests would be placed in a room with nothing but four walls. The pre-show does get old quickly, I wish they could cycle a dozen or so different pre-shows to at least make it...

    Official Photography Contest 6/15/19-6/21/19 Princes & Princesses

    I have to apologize to Zapper Z, I usually look at the all the existing pictures before I post, I try not to use the same type of picture. I was in a hurry, I usually don't have access to my pictures until Thursday or Friday. This week I didn't get a chance until late Friday so I had to quicky...

    ok, all you Punxsutaweny Phils of Disney world, what's your prediction for the future of WDW?

    I feel a recession is on the horizon, I hope there isn't one, but if you follow the markers it seems one is coming. At that time I think Disney will have to re-balance their prices on all things related to parks. Of course this will go for all amusement properties not Disney. I don't feel it...

    Does anyone NOT like Flight of Passage?

    You are definitely not the only one, my sister-in-law rode once and was unable to ride anything else for a while. My wife rode, I think, three times in a row (After Hours Party), and she needed to stop. I stopped because I couldn't deal with the pre-show. I understand it is need to move the ride...

    Crowds in September/October of 2019 or ocean tempurature in March/April

    I have never been in the waters around Florida at those times of the year but, I would think that since it is more south that the water temps would be higher. I don't know this as fact though.

    I have been to the Carolinas in May and the water was fine, of course I am from Michigan and swim and SCUBA in some cold waters.

    Swan or French Quarter

    And I would add that the Swan/Dolphin have the most comfy beds in WDW. At least that is my experience.

    Also, I forgot to mention, your experience can be dependent on where you are sitting on the ride. That takes points off right there.

    Does anyone NOT like Flight of Passage?

    I feel it's a good ride but not a great ride. A great ride for me would be a ride like Splash, it has drama,, comedy, immersion, a memorable tune and a thrilling drop. I did the After Hours party in December at AK and after riding FoP four times in a row, it got boring. Probably more because of...

    Crowds in September/October of 2019 or ocean tempurature in March/April

    My personal feeling is that WDW will be very busy the first two weeks after the land opens brining in major fans, bloggers and media. Than it will cool off until fall school breaks and such. I think the last two weeks of September will be the best time for awhile.

    Memories of your first visit to WDW.

    1994, other than just being amazed by everything Disney, I fought the idea of going, thinking it was just another amusement park, my fondest memory was being what seemed to be the only people left on Discovery Island during a thunderstorm and getting completely drenched. We had so much fun...

    Frontierland vs Liberty Square

    We dined at the Diamond Horseshoe on our trip in May. This was the first time since 94 and if I remember correctly we only had appetizers at that time. The meal we had in May was okay, but the waiter we had was amazing, fun and funny. He made the meal. I don't mean he actually made the meal, I...
