    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    The 2005 is gen6 which is the first gen(eration) that has it. 😀 Hopefully new monorails will have such an advanced feature too. Either that or someone will spray the evaporators with coil cleaning foam once in a blue moon instead of just letting guests breathe mildew and mold, which is exactly...

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Replace your cabin air filter once in a while. :) If the monorails smell from AC, it's lack of maintenance, not age.

    Park Ticket price potentially increasing

    It's not necessarily an evil plot, but clearly they've decided that that's the best and most effective way to boost their bottom line. They've mostly maxed out what they can squeeze out of the middle class at this point, at least by their calculation.

    Flight of Passage Pre-show Burn-In has begun

    Perhaps they could also replace "alright" with "all right" in the subtitles while they're at it. Weird how that's all I can remember from my one time ever riding it.

    Passing on DVC - One of Life’s Regrets

    I saved for 10 years trying to talk myself into it (and the wife out of it ;)) I finally bought 3 BCV resale contacts when I turned 40. Do I regret not buying sooner? Not really. It would have been an ongoing financial obligation when I wasn't secure enough in that area. And unless you're...

    Can a post 2016 resale buyer get TIW

    Except..... top of the world lounge is also on that list, and that is explicitly NOT limited to blue card holders. I see your point, but it's always been one of the many grey areas of this era of tiered memberships. The member extras disclosure seems intentionally vague as to what's limited...

    Portillo’s coming to Disney springs?

    Portillos is good overall, but it's a variety of average options. And for some reason their hot dogs are fairly tasteless. I'd much prefer an Al's Beef.

    Rumor Version of MaxPass coming to WDW in May?

    It could be something like DLPs offering. It sounds basically the same as Universal express pass with the caveat that certain free FPs could still remain available. https://attractionsmagazine.com/disneyland-paris-paid-fastpass-range/

    News Tony's Most Merriest Town Square Party comes to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party for 2018

    Hopefully you can eat it with "aioli", a savory substance we used to call 'mayonnaise'.

    No availability at Le Cellier on New Year’s Eve?

    This is open for regular booking now. I just booked a time for NYE dinner. No mention of fixed price and says dining plan accepted.

    DVC 2019 member benefits

    It's all good. :) Many folks don't even know about the special events at all, or that you can stay at any DVC resort or that there's even a resale market. I'm one of those weirdos that reads the entire condo declaration for the fun of it :cool:

    DVC 2019 member benefits

    That is entirely incorrect, though. The legal term for "membership extras" (such as MM, the EPCOT lounge, etc.) is incidental benefits which are not part of your ownership interest and thus CAN NOT be funded with members' annual maintenance fees. They are paid for out of DVD's own budget, the...

    DVC 2019 member benefits

    The thing is, the current lounge is in space that was otherwise sitting vacant and they serve coke that they get for free. So, the overall cost is extremely low. There'd have to be a comparable space in other parks, and I doubt they'd find it worth the cost. Heck, it remains to be seen if the...

    DVC 2019 member benefits

    Right. The limit is because it's a private event and DVD pays by the head count just as an outside company would (albeit at a discount I'm sure, considering it's all in the family so to speak). Plus the idea is to be an escape from crowds and stuff as well, so it wouldn't be as fun if the park...

    DVC 2019 member benefits

    The thing is, they're private events that DVD pays P&R (parks and resorts, or whatever the new division is called that now includes merch) to host. Their entire purpose is to sell DVC. Yes, it's all Disney, but the individual companies compete. Sure it's a lot of locals taking advantage, but...

    Wishful thinking, but won't happen. Moonlight magic is more than we used to get. I just hope they continue.

    Famous people encounters at WDW

    Not an actual encounter, but I missed Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) by just a couple of days at the beach club last year.
