    Newbie needs some help Please.

    This is a big red flag in my opinion. As was said prior, at 3 to 5 months you are at the mercy of what is left. You have to take into consideration the time of year you will want to go and where you will want to stay. The epcot resorts are booked solid for food and wine in the fall...

    Tron might finally beat Narnia

    I don't care what each movie cost to make or how well it did domestically vs. international or on dvd sales........ A tron attraction would rock the socks off of a narnia attraction. The look of tron is cool, geeky, techy. Imagine riding a light cycle in a Test Track type of tron setting or...

    Change to reservation dates after booking?

    You would be allowed to change dates if the rooms are available. However, you can make ADRs without a reservation number. I would make some type of reservation as soon as possible to make sure you get rooms. Why don't you go ahead and make the plans for your later date? It really won't affect...

    Keys to the Kingdom Tour Recap!

    What does the Backstage Magic tour entail? Backstage lost out to Keys when we planned our first tour. I'm interested in this one for our October trip.

    World Showcase - Am I the only one?

    Last night on 30 Rock they had a great comment. When the canadian asked what was wrong with being canadian the female lead answered: "Your epcot pavilian doesn't even have a ride" I love world showcase, but adding a country and maybe another ride or two would be great.

    Does anyone else love Test Track?

    It's a great ride that I never miss when in epcot. When the ride is working properly it is great fun. I rode TT 5 time this past january and only one time did all the effects work (in-car dashboard, breaking cones and truck). Two of the other times we literally creeped through the hills and...

    Keys to the Kingdom Tour Recap!

    My wife and I took the keys to the kingdom tour on January 26th. Our tour guide was great and the tour itself was informative. My wife loved it. I found it a little disappointing. My expectations were to see the inner workings of a few attractions and get some history of the park itself...

    Tinker Bell Meet n Greet at DHS

    On january 25th our keys to the kingdom tour guide mentioned that a new "home" for the fairies hasn't yet been determined, since they recently decided not to move forward with pixie hollow at MK. All the fairies will be in epcot during flower and garden. Some of the higher ups had their doubts...

    Pic of Splash Mountain lap bars......

    My wife and I rode splash Feb 1st and the loading was not a problem. The ride operators had that going pretty smooth. The problem was that because the loaded the ride quickly the logs jammed up at all the lift areas. 4-5 logs deep. Not a fun ride when you are constantly stopping, bumping and...

    Blt is still the pits

    Could have been worse. January 25th magical express stopped bringing luggage from the airport due to the weather. You had to get your own from baggage claim and drag them to the busses.

    So let me get this straight regarding point increases...

    Although the total point cost for a 7 day stay remained unchanged the weekends went down and the weekdays went up. So for someone like me who stays 10-12 nights I get caught in an increase for my stay. Whereas I could arrive on a sunday night and leave on a friday morning only hitting two...

    Trick or Treat bags for MNSSHP...

    I never saw anyone use other bags for treating, but I did see many folks dumping their small bags into back packs and going back for more treats. I would assume that is ok. I wasn't real impressed with the candy from the party. You may find the small free bags are enough.

    Windows in Splash Mountain

    For those that usually travel to WDW in January/Feb, those windows are usually covered during refurbs. So if you are there during that time and ride the train you only see a tunnel from the train point of view.

    Which DVC to buy?

    One point you may want to consider when thinking about BCV or WLV is they are both small resorts room wise. Depending on the time of year you will have a harder time getting a room even at 11 months than some other resorts. Boardwalk for example has more rooms and room categories making it...

    For those who haven't stayed at AKL Jambo

    The wife and I have been trying to decide on what resort we wanted to purchase add on points for. Our problem was that our home resort BWV has a shortened life due to the expiration date. So we decided that we would try AKL. After reading multiple threads on Jambo vs. Kidani, we chose Jambo...
