    News Crossroads Plaza Faces Demoliton

    We used to regularly do Goodings! Now we go to Super Target and we eat further down at Olive Garden, Giordano's, Macaroni Grill, etc. and haven't been in Crossroads for some time. Though I would be sad to see those options go. In the days of Uber, I suppose an extra couple of miles to...

    Paint the night is not moving to Disney World. Stop bumping this.

    So every time this thread bumps, I can't help but read it as two major events close, is WDW next (to close)?

    Tax rate change for Osceola County impact to All Star Resorts and Wide World of Sports

    Just compressed the cost of a value resort to moderates! :D Taxes in both have been 6.5% since I can remember.

    Disney Springs garage: "It may take up to three hours to exit garage"

    Not normal at all. We've parked at Disney Springs several times before Lime opened (when only Orange was available) in off months and again this past August after both ramps were open and it was easy in/out. This was a holiday issue exacerbated by the construction around Disney Springs. We...

    Save the Adventurers Club

    Saw some of the Adventurer's Club apparel on our recent trip... Disney really kills with nostalgia sometimes.

    Upcoming/Rumored Projects

    I thought I'd read that Wreck-it-Ralph was out for SGE, but something different was in?

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    It was good. But 95 south looked awful in stretches. I assume a mix of standard vacation plans and bowl traffic. I think things will pick up the next few days into NYE and crash on 1/3. I'd still like to do Epcot on NYE but don't need to do MK on Christmas again.

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    We left at 6am today. Managed to avoid rush hour and I-4 traffic as we drive up 95 to NC. Peak time at DAK yesterday had Everest at 90, Dinosaur at 55, Kali at 90, and having to get in line for Lion King a show in advance (60+ minute wait). Crowds definitely feel like they're picking up as...

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    It's oddly dispersed. Just went to Flame Tree BBQ at 12:05 and waited no more than 10 minitutes and got a table for 5 without effort.

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    I think revenue matters more than actual attendance. If Disney makes more per guest due to surge pricing and crowds were more manageable and guests less cranky then I'm sure all will be fine. Revenue drives stock.

    News Swan and Dolphin Tower Expansion - The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

    I certainly hope they relocate the mini-golf if they're looking to expand the S&D. There's not enough not park entertainment as it is. We tried to mini-golf back in April not during Easter weeks and the waits were 60+ minutes.

    Kali River Rapids refurb extended?

    When did the space for belongings with a cover get removed from Kali? Was surprised when we got on and they were gone from the center.

    I'd suggest the local Mobil station.

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    Disney Springs has been the worst crowd of the day. Arrived at 5:30, had a drink, watched the 7pm drone show, and then wished I was anywhere else. Even the west side was awful. Lots full and loaded busses.

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    We left around 2pm and it didn't feel like MK was adding guests, exists were equal to or greater than entries. That said, we can now say we've done it and don't need to do it again. While it wasn't unbearable, it wasn't "joyous" or relaxing. I equate it to going boating on a holiday weekend...

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

    I just don't understand what the "theme" of any of these parks are anymore. Random IP everywhere. Some IP used in multiple parks.

    New Monorail Resort Dining Experience Announced

    Wow, anger much? I don't think there was a complaint in there anywhere about creating our own experience was there? Tried to book it, thought it was a good idea, couldn't, so we'll do our own.
