    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    YES this! I like staying off site. Some Disney deluxe resorts are worth visiting for a look around and a meal, none of the resorts are worth the extra $$$ not to mention the crowds. Now we're troll in'...

    Chef Mickey's relocating to convention center during upcoming unplanned maintenance

    If you want Mickey and theming (and don't mind stitch and family style rather than buffet) Ohana in Poly is good. If you want a buffet and are good with Minnie, Goofy and Donald head for Cape May Cafe - the food is better than Chef Mickeys IMO, not too mention a Friendship boat or short walk to...

    Is Happily Ever After A Downgrade from Wishes?

    I agree the build up to Tink is well done, it's great, but that's kinda the issue for me. That should be the end, it's the high point, but HEA keeps going for another bit and can't seem to top that moment. So the rest of the ending just goes flat for me. Maybe the music isn't strong enough or...

    Is Happily Ever After A Downgrade from Wishes?

    This raises a thought for me, anyone know how long HSA was in development? Was it a rushed production, or rushed to completion early so they could have something new for night time at MK with the lack of a night time parade?

    Parking

    I agree with a four year old you need some kind of mid-day break, especially if your four year old still takes a mid day nap. Even then it's good to arrive early as possible for shorter lines and take a break later when lines tend to peak after lunch. This is good no matter your age...

    Is Happily Ever After A Downgrade from Wishes?

    I liked HSA - but it left me wanting more somehow after watching it. I realized later after watching some videos the issue is Wishes had a much better build into the finale, and the finale was just the right length (not to mention a bit of a tear-jerker). HSA's final build hits Tink's flight...

    Post Christmas drone show

    Doubt it - but a Moana themed show, think navigating by stars, would be cool.

    Disney Wonder rem-imagination

    Did some more digging - yeah see now Twist and Spout and Cabanas, Dory splash area for Toddlers, Animator's getting new shows, Studio Sea will be D Lounge, and Cadilac Lounge will get a refresh too. Missing is the Plunge slide. I'm holding out hope this might mean or lead to a Megradome for...

    Disney Wonder rem-imagination

    I'm surprised no one has jumped on this one yet. The official Disney blog at Ohmy.disney.com reported two days ago Wonder will get getting Tiana's Place resturant ( from the concept pic this will be replacing Parrot Cay) which will feature live Jazz Music, and Orleans inspired menu. The kids...

    Is Reflections of Earth the longest running Fireworks show out of all Disney parks?

    I agree with most here, ROE should stay but be given some big upgrades with the fountains, lights, and projectors Disney now has in its arsenal. The softer middle section with the globe images could be greatly enhanced with WOC-like fountain effects keeping the feel of the original, but with...

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    Maybe I was exaggerating a bit about the overnight, so to clarify 10 pm EST is 11:30 here, she kept them on the phone well past that time. I have talked quite a bit with her about how she handled this and am quite satisfied with her response and her knowledge on the issue.

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    Agreed - I should have said "if your have a weather delay call the call center. Then if get nowhere with them in terms of new arrangements then you should see what you can arrange with the front desk, not the call center." They have an excellent travel agent, she actually started calling as...

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    Okay - here's the update, just got off the phone with them. It's good news... They saw the manager tonight were met immediately with "sorry you missed your first few days let's see what we can do". He set them up with all of their original dining credits, they only have to use them up by the...

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    Exactly - that's what's happening. After checking into it a bit more today myself, I found out that's what is happening here. They can not extend their original reservation. Disney wants them to book a whole new reservation and in order to get dining with that new reservation they want them...

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    The day of they were supposed to check-in - as soon as they knew their original flight was cancelled. EDIT: Actually to clarify, they informed Disney their arrival would be delayed at least one day. This call was made the day they were supposed to check-in. They did mention they wanted to...

    I'll check into that one - and pass it on to them. Thought that was very strange.

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    Agreed - I don't think I'll ever book a package - it would have to be on for a REALLY good deal. Forgot to mention one thing - I was actually considering staying on-site for my next family trip. My parents experience was going to be the final decision maker. Off-site has another big...

    Experiencing Disney's (harsh) Travel Package Policies

    I thought I would share with everyone the situation my parents are currently having with their WDW Vacation, yes I may rant a bit, but I also hope their experience can start a discussion to be used by all of us to learn tips and things to consider with their future WDW trip planning. A little...
