I was just down at WDW this past weekend (only made it to Animal Kingdom, and even then only a few hours). But shocked at how much construction is going on everywhere. I have been out of the loop for a few years, so now I don't know all that is going on. Is there a mater list of projects...

Assuming I can find early reservations somewhere it may be worth heading back to see that and Avatar at night.

I am going to be in the AK for one day this weekend with my aunts and uncle, all of them are over 70, so we really wont be doing too many of the rides. Unfortunately it looks like ROL will not be showing that night, so we would otherwise probably be heading back to the hotel for supper. Is the...

Thank you everyone!

As a Christmas present, I am taking my dad, aunts, and uncle on a trip down to the AKL. They all love wildlife, and this is something I want them to see. So, what I am thinking is on Christmas Eve (our big celebration), I want to start playing a video of the lodge. Mostly focusing on the...

For some reason an email about this thread popped up in one of my old email accounts. I have made maybe two posts on here since 2010. Go back 5 or 6, may a few more, years ago, and I used to spend a good 30 days a year at the park (considering I live in New England that is a fairly high...

How does WDW manage their restaurants? I know each restaurant is not necessarily operated independently. The food carts are currently a whole separate operation. Can anyone point me in the direction of an overview of how it is all organized?

Four years is too long for this thread to be at rest. I was wondering if anyone had ever found any more pictures of that city in the center of World of Motion, or if anyone had any kinds of plans or even just some construction details of how it was built. I would love to find a way to recreate...

OK, so I know the Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort. Now, when I go to the Wyndham page, I get teh Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek. Doesnt look the same - these are regular hotel rooms. Is this the same property with just different types of rooms? Is this a different location? I dont think this is the old...

When Dixie Landings first opened up, I remember each section of what is now Alligator Bayou. But I seem completely unable to remember of find any of the names. Am I just imagining this - was it always just Alligator Bayou and Magnolia Bend?

Has anyone done the Aquatic Wonders boat ride on lake Toho in Kissimmee? In particular the Starlight Wonders boat ride interests me, but many of them do. I realize this is a small outfit, but wondering what people thought of them. http://www.adventuresinflorida.net/AquaticWondersBoatTours.htm

So then they are essentially two or three cushions that fold over to be a chair, or flat for a bed, or are they more like a conventional sleeper sofa?

Can someone tell me what a sleeping chair is? Is this a recliner, or maybe one of those foam chairs that separates into three layers and folds out like a futon? They have them in the 2 bedroom villas at AKV.

What time do the MK crowds start to die down on the 19th? I will be there that day, trying to decide if I should plan on staying around late to take advantage of the late hours, or if it will be just too crowded to bother.

Keep in mind I am a Walt Disney World fan, not necessarily a Disney Fanatic in and of itself. But suddenly I am hearing all about Princess Aurora. Is Princess Aurora the same as Sleeping Beauty? When did she become Princess Aurora, or is this a new movie I have not seen?

Technical question - how are the monorail cars coupled together? How complicated would it have been for them to uncouple the end car on both monorails, tow the remainder back to the barn, and then crane the crushed cabs?

That is the theory of buses - flexibility. You can always add more buses, you can always send them to different locations. In this case fromn the resorts they will have to add busses to serve Epcot, and probably a few to also serve the MK although the boats probably take a large percentage of...

Actually, linear motors have less difficulty with hills. Since they don't rely on friction to keep the car from sliding backwards, they can handle steeper hills than adhesion. Linear motor driven trains are in existence in many places - in the US Vancouver, Toronto, and New York City have...

But the issue again isn't moving people directly from the airport to Disney. Traffic issues are not significantly a result of tourist traffic. 192 is a bit of an exception to this, but the major cause of traffic congestion in the Orlando Area is the movement of commuters - people who work...

So lately I am on an Africa kick. After spending the most time on my last trip in Animal Kingdom, I am really in the mood for some good African themed music. I managed to dig up a (probably pirated) mp3 of Hapa Duniani, but I am trying to find some good other music, too - like the Mbira (the...
