    Port Orleans Bedspread FIASCO!

    Pics taken on my phone, so sorry for the quality. New pics on wall. Picture of Tiana is still 3D, but I much preferred the old one with the manor in the background and all the princesses sitting together with Belle giving Tiana a replica of Cogs worth

    Port Orleans Bedspread FIASCO!

    Plus, the more major change is in the pictures in the room. Gone are the pics of ythe princesses at the resort and giving Tiana gifts and in their place are pictures of the princesses next to their castles in the 'new' princess art form used by merchandising.

    Port Orleans Bedspread FIASCO!

    I can confirm no more bedspreads at port Orleans royal rooms. Hopefully a runner at the foot of the beds are still to come. I don't like bedspreads as they aren't washed between guests, but a runner with the old bed spread design would be nice.

    Thanks for the aerial shots. Looking good. Excited to see this come together.

    No fastpasses available today?

    I'm no insider, but I called the My Disney Experience IT help call center about a FP+ question before our upcoming trip next week and she said right up front that they were having issues with the FP+ and FP system today and she would try her best to fix any potential problems we had. It...

    AVATAR Concept Art released

    Well, the video and concept art do look fantastic. I didn't really know what to expect, but the pics and model do certainly look like this could be an impressive land. While the film's merits have been discussed to death, I always thought the world of Pandora would be neat to visit when I saw...

    AVATAR Concept Art released

    Keep in mind the artwork apparently is not for the new nighttime show on Discovery river. It is for the additional entertainment coming. Per the blog's post : "The park will introduce more nighttime entertainment as well, including live performers on Discovery Island (pictured above) " with...

    New Main Street U.S.A bypass to be built to address entry and exit congestion at the Magic Kingdom

    I'm surprised by the responses here. For years they have funneled people behind Main Street in an unthemed backstage area with some bushes to try and direct your attention from the parking lot that sits behind Main Street. Now it sounds like they will finally address that with a more show...

    My Magic + details ...

    I guess I've been lucky so far. We have annual passes and are headed down in late October. I've had no problems linking our passes and reservations to our accounts. We customized and already received our magic bands. Whether we will use and wear them are to be seen. They aren't bothersome to...

    Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party ticket now on sale

    Thanks. That would be fine with us. I would feel too guilty sticking around without purchasing a ticket, so our plan would be to leave after dinner anyway.

    Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party ticket now on sale

    Quick and perhaps silly question for anyone out there. Many months ago, we managed to get a reservation at Be Our Guest restaurant at 6:50pm on an evening that MNSSHP occurs. We enjoyed our visit to BOG last December and I booked the reservation before ever realizing it was a MNSSHP night. I...

    Epcot's Holidays Around the World shortened for 2013

    I believe this has more to do with the timing of Thanksgiving this year than cutting their offerings. I know it's easy to be cynical, but I believe Holidays around the World has always started the day after Thanksgiving and run through December 30th. Since Thanksgiving falls very late this year...

    AVATAR progress

    I know this was probably a rhetorical question, but the partnership was announced September 2011 and reportedly development and blue sky started after that. So technically, less than 2 years. Pretty typical for a project of this size (i.e. a land). We've had the unusual perspective to have...

    AVATAR progress

    I think Transformers and Avatar are both draws. Of course from a numbers game, it took three Transformers films to make a worldwide gross equivalent to the worldwide gross of only one Avatar film......Personally, I think Transformers has more of a multi-generational draw, but if the future...

    Walt Disney World "Monstrous Summer" Press Event April 25th & 26th

    Just logged on to see what the 'announcement' was for tonight. Fun enough and expected based on what's been reported here and elsewhere over the past few weeks/months. I didn't expect anything either than announcements geared at pursuading people to come over this summer anyway. Too bad the...

    Disney Springs construction begins

    Glad to see things moving forward so quickly. Just remember the differences in when and how these were announced. Disney Springs has been in development for nearly 2 years after they canned Hyperion Wharf. Once development was completed with construction permits assigned, etc., then they...

    'Disney Springs' - Downtown Disney expansion officially announced

    Interesting article. I'm not going to pretend to understand all the tax benefits this gives them, but if the RCID is there, I see no fault in them using it to their benefit. Not sure who Orlando Sentinel's source from Disney was for the article, but they semi-confirm the I4 ramp into one of...

    'Disney Springs' - Downtown Disney expansion officially announced

    Saw the plans and the video of the model. Looks good. Interested to see who fills all these shops and dining spots. Steve (wdwmagic) has been right on with the information regarding this from several months ago when he discussed that big changes were coming, right down to the day/week it was...
