    Nw Resale Restrictions as of Jan 19th

    I haven’t read rhe actual language of the amendment which allows the change - but I’ve read elsewhere that direct buyers of Riviera will have access to the ‘original 14’ it’s just the resale buyers of Riviera down the road who’ll only be able to book there and perhaps Reflections when it’s built...

    News Disney Riviera Resort announced

    Won’t the gondolas go 2 ways? One line heading from CBR through Riviera, then BW turn station to Epcot. Then the gondolas circle through the Epcot station and head back through the BW turn station, through the Riviera Station then back to CBR. So the gondolas going to Riviera from CBR will face...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    I obviously lack imagination - what on earth would a themed stroller structure look like? Come to think of it, I just returned from France and honestly don’t recall seeing a single stroller - but I was only in Provence and the Riviera, maybe all the strollers were in Paris. If there’s going to...

    Disney Announces New Nature Resort on Bay Lake

    The building on the right looks like they took a plan for a parking garage and added windows - that'll be a DVC building I bet.

    News Disney to launch new Vacation Planning site to help guests with date-based tickets

    Two thoughts: Just once I would like a WDW trip w/out a tech glitch, we go once a year and there’s always something - currently canceled ADRs that keep popping back up and no way to customize MBs. Well, Disney started with tiered pricing via ticket books, some families could afford one per...

    DHS parking lot tram pickup/dropoff now very far away from park entrance

    Well, part of the problem is that it's such a dreary trudge through construction fencing. Walking .5 miles (total distance to & from) on a path through a garden or by a stream feels far different than marching through that straight, narrow, paved path boxed in by tall dreary construction...

    DVC guests

    Depends on which DVC resort you are staying at. Resorts where occupancy is 5 in a 1 br. and a sleeping surface is provided for 5 (1 king bed in the master, a hidabed sofa and a small pull down bed or single pull out sleeper chair in the living room): AKV (most booking categories,) BLT, OKW...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    Nope - the Gondola exit at Riviera will be through a DVC kiosk and no family that accidently disembarked at the Riviera station will be allowed to reboard a gondola until they have signed up to buy 75 Riviera DVC points. :)

    Anyone do uber while at a Disney resort?

    Used Lyft from DTD to the GF late one night last Dec.. Took a bit to locate our driver as it was right after the Star Wars movie let out and lots of people were looking for their rides at the pick up place - the driver was a WDW CM by day and drove for Lyft at night. It was so much nicer...

    News Disney Riviera Resort announced

    Well, they are sending everyone over to CBR to change gondolas to get to DHS & rub shoulders with the CBR and budget hotel peeps... Regarding the pool, when DVC at the Poly was first rumored weren’t there some pretty ambitious plans floating around regarding a signature pool which never...

    This is how bad the price increases are

    Actually w/ banking and borrowing you can buy just enough points for a Disney vacation once every 3 years. Most folks who decide to skip Disney for a year or so just rent out their points and pocket the profit to help subsidize their alternate vacation. Demand for DVC rentals seems to keep going...

    All rides in Hollywood Studios closed for technical difficulties (7/12/18)

    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade? Refreshing that someone has a sense of humor.

    New Rider Switch Policy is Terrible

    I suspect the opposite. WDW implemented the digital FP system in part because their exit surveys showed people disliked long lines a lot. The digital FP system reduces those lines by regulating the number of people given FP access for a set time window of an hour. If the predicted number of...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    Wait, what? “Clearing likely for a bus plaza” - if true the stops at the far end appear to be quite a hike to/from the turnstiles at DHS’ entrance.

    Avatar Flight of Passage safety and warning cards being handed out to guests

    My guess is that “All members of your party must be together throughout the entire length of the queue” & “No restroom facilities beyond this point” = too many groups were sending one person to ‘save’ a place in line and later jumping the line to ‘catch up’ towards the end claiming they’d just...
