    Disneyland's 60th Birthday: Rumors, Speculation and News

    Just curious... for you DL experts... taking a trip out west in mid July and was playing with the idea of adding a couple of days at DL onto our plans. My concern now is that the days we'd be there would be July 18-20th. Would that be insanity considering the 60th celebration?

    Annual pass question

    APH rates are not always available. They're offered at various times and for various resorts/room types. You can check via the Universal Orlando website and enter APH in code. Be sure to select "All Resorts" so you can see everything that is available for your dates. I don't think they're...

    PHOTO - First look at the newly renovated Grand Deluxe Guest Rooms at the Walt Disney World Swan

    The Swan/Dolphin were never really on my radar, but these rooms look quite nice and the location is great. After seeing the 2015 Disney Resort room rates, we might give this hotel a try next trip. We've always stayed AKL and love it, but $320/$342 a night for a standard view room ($429/$457 for...

    Early Park Admission back to one park

    9-10 just seems really early to me in the summer. I'd much rather be in the parks at night when it's cooler. Also, I enjoy the atmosphere of the parks at night.

    Parking at the Royal Pacific resort

    Not sure when this first became available, but we were at Portofino end of July. When I inquired with the desk clerk about printing out my AP she directed me to a kiosk just up the hall from the EP kiosks.

    Early Park Admission back to one park

    Early entry isn't really a big concern to us as on-site resort guests as long as we have the Express Pass benefit. That is the make or break for us. I could see them rotating the early opening between the two parks rather than opening both early every morning. Either that or open FJ to EP...

    Could this be Universal twisting the knife!?!?!

    We love everything Uni's done with HP, but imo it's definitely enough and time to move on with other things.

    Parking at the Royal Pacific resort

    Is there not a kiosk in the lobby at RPR? When we arrived at Portofino, we checked in then walked over (in the lobby area just steps away) to the kiosks and printed out my AP and the Express Passes. I did have to go to a separate kiosk to print out my AP (which was an inconvenience they need...

    Hunger Games?

    I really can't see it working as an entire land but I could envision a ride within the games arena. The rider enters the arena as a tribute and tries to survive in the game.

    DHS ReDo (August 2014)

    I would really hate to see the GMR axed. It does need updating with some serious love, but it would be such a shame to lose it. Spinners... blech... cheap cop-outs instead of a real experience. Anyone can ride a spinner at a carnival or their state fair. When I travel to Disney and lay out...

    That video from the Rock Your Disney Side event... perfect!

    New vice president for Disney's Animal Kingdom as Josh D'Amaro moves to new role

    Upper echelon is often more interested in having someone like-minded who will dutifully fall into line with their philosophy and plan than they are someone who will bring fresh ideas or fight for doing the right thing.

    New Be Our Guest lunch line procedure (Test?)

    :facepalm: "I'm pretty sure this is illegal. I remember when mm+ was first being introduced senators were stating that disney can't say to their guests if you stay at one of our hotels will give you a better experience then our day guests will get. If I'm paying the same price as everyone else...

    New Be Our Guest lunch line procedure (Test?)

    "Of all WDW things to get worked up about, this seems to be the dumbest one to date. 30-40 minutes in the sun of "every single member of your party must stay together" was HORRID customer service. Of all the FP ideas to date, this seems the most ideal implementation of the system. The...

    New Be Our Guest lunch line procedure (Test?)

    Magic Kingdom definitely needs more dining options. TS, indoor, air-conditioned, different quality food choices and here's a novel thought.... something THEMED! People are flocking to BOG because the food is pretty good and there is actually some degree of quality theming. But I have to...

    Which Hogwarts Express Experience Do You Prefer?

    We rode both ways and enjoyed both! Each had something different to experience. Nicely done and if the lines aren't too long it sure beats walking to the other park.

    Can you add more fastpasses after the first 3 from your phone?

    We were just there a couple of weeks ago and there are apparently no FP+ kiosks on Main St USA. We were exiting the park for an afternoon rest break and wanted to stop by a kiosk to book a 4th FP for the evening before left. I asked two different CM's who informed me the closest kiosks were in...

    using disney transport vs. renting a car

    Can't speak to the ECV issue, but we just returned from the World a week or so ago and we used DME and the buses without benefit of rental car. Won't do it again. DME was ok at best. Certainly nothing "magical" about it and it took forever stopping at two other resorts before our own (AKL)...

    Interactive Queue Etiquette

    If the line isn't moving or is moving at a snail's pace then playing around a bit with the games is fine. I won't/didn't pass someone if they stopped briefly, but if the line has moved 20ft ahead and is still moving and they are at the game with their back to the queue, then I pass. If parents...
