    Have I Become Jaded?

    Disney will always have crowds. Disney will always have lines. All you can do is make the best of it. It's a vacation and there's plenty of happy to be had while there. My main takeaway from your post is that you spent 8 days at Disney World. A bad day at Disney is still better than a good day...

    Layoffs underway at Walt Disney World

    Unfortunately, there is never a good time for layoffs.

    News Lasseter taking leave of absence

    Shirley Temple too. The positive here is that hopefully this makes a number of industries safer for men and women.

    Caribbean Beach Resort Construction: Is It Bad?

    Well color me jealous. I'm doing the "convert all of our credit card points into gift cards and collect any and all loose change available" to make this one work out. And hello there, 215 neighbor.

    Caribbean Beach Resort Construction: Is It Bad?

    In my years of visiting WDW, I don't think I've ever seen an offer remotely like that.

    Caribbean Beach Resort Construction: Is It Bad?

    Thanks for the update! Trying to decide if I should book another - every bit of advice helps at this point. Did it seem like the construction impacted the number of guests there?

    Caribbean Beach Resort Construction: Is It Bad?

    Reserved a stay in February at the Caribbean Beach Resort. If anyone has stayed there recently, can you provide an update on how intrusive the construction is? Trying to see if there will be noise to contend with or extremely limited resort amenities. At the same time, if it is manageable, I...

    Biggest Regret at WDW Restaurant...

    Took a quick trip with my DD6 and tried to walk in to Be Our Guest. The CM at the front said there was no room and that I should try to come back at 2:30p to see if I could get a walk-in. Showed up at 2:30p and was promptly told that Be Our Guest was closed until 4:00p. The first CM told me to...

    random ride/show things that scared you as a kid

    When I was 5, my cousins told me that going on HM would mean I'd have nightmares for the rest of my life. Needless to say, 5 year old me wasn't particularly interested in an entire lifetime of fitful sleep, so I had no interest in going on that ride. Also needless to say, I eventually got over...

    To pay for Very Merry Christmas... or not? what am I missing?

    It's nice to have access to a park with slightly reduced crowds. Is it worth the price of admission? That depends. If you have a 6 day trip or if you have a park hopper, it may not be worth it. If you go single day and have fewer vacation days, as is the case when I go, it may be worth spending...

    1900 Park Fare dinner - what do I need to know?

    I've had less than satisfactory experiences with buffets at WDW. Was hoping the location of this one would make it a little better. Oh well

    1900 Park Fare dinner - what do I need to know?

    Is it worth the price? Going through the classically American thought process of deciding to eat and spend more for the characters, or going to a quick serve and putting that money towards gifts, etc.

    1900 Park Fare dinner - what do I need to know?

    I've got a reservation coming up for dinner at 1900 Park Fare and was wondering what those who have been think about it. Anything interesting/fun/helpful I should know before I go?

    When a ride you love gets a refurb during your stay

    I've got a two day visit coming up in December. About all I could afford, so I am hoping to do as much as possible. And then, checking the refurb updates so I can be better prepared, I see that the riverboat and TTA are going down for refurbishment - two things my DD is particularly excited...

    Lights, Motors, Action! on its way out soon?

    Agreed, though at least Indy has a very famous franchise underneath it. LMA's only claim to fame is "HEY, we're in France too."

    Lights, Motors, Action! on its way out soon?

    If they're going to shutter LMA, my guess is it is part of a larger project. That area wont sit quietly for long.

    Be Our Guest Breakfast Confirmed

    That certainly never hurts. Plus, and correct me if I'm wrong, is this the first to really take advantage of Magicband food service? That is to say, order and get your meal simply by wearing a Magicband.

    Be Our Guest Breakfast Confirmed

    It's new. Everyone wants to try to the new thing, even if, by the time they get there, the ride/restaurant/show has been around for a long time. It will still be new to them at that point.
