    $53 dessert with that $115 steak? Article on Theme Park leaving middle class behind...

    All North-facing rooms in both Hawaii and Moorea are considered Lagoon/Lake/Theme Park View. Every room, on every floor, no matter the potential view obstruction of bungalows, boardwalk, or foliage.

    Anyone else have a terrible DME baggage experience?

    We typically land before 10a... and never an issue. As another poster mentioned, we'd check-in, drop our carry-ons and return to the resort later in the afternoon to bags waiting. We planned on taking a later flight (Friday arrival) that would land a little after 6p. After reading MULTIPLE...

    Just switched from POP, to Caribbean Beach..good idea,, or not?

    The 'Custom House' where guests check-in/access Magical Express... has no bus stop. It's an easy walk away from the bus stop in the Barbados Village. Old Port Royal Centertown (OPR) does have it's own bus stop. This is where you'll find dinning, shops, and access to the main pool. It's one of...

    Wilderness Lodge DVC additions - Copper Creek Villas & Cabins

    I expect the room conversion to be quite similar to what's been completed at the Polynesian... Standard Guest Rooms to Studio Villas. But... I'm curious as to how DVC would market them? Would the Studios located in the Lodge itself be priced higher or lower? Identical room decor... or...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    Guess so Flynn... Because if you think a popular bar, located in the heart of a small resort, from 12a to 2a, IS the proper 'time and place' as you call it... then you're right, that's a concept I have no desire to understand. We changed our reservation from the Beach Club to Poly... really...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    The patio will remain open for ALL ages, 4p - 12a. The inside will shift to 21+ from 8p till closing. It's funny that on one thread... I'm 'told' I should wear an orange shirt after having two drinks at Epcot... to warn others of my 'drunk' self... And in another... we're disappointed that a...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    I can confirm Tambu for sure... haven't personally experienced others that have been rumored... apparently this is a rather recent change? *shoulder shrug*

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    While 'food service' doesn't begin until 4pm... many resort lounges will now serve drinks before 4pm. Several even offer a snack-mix bowl, free of charge, when asked. I see that being more of an appropriate shift... perhaps opening at 2pm with a limited/cold menu until 4pm.

    Buy Tickets Now for Aug Trip?

    Apologies guys... I was basing that post off of information I had read last year from AllEars. Since our TA package includes tickets that can not be upgraded, even after gate entrance... I has just assumed it was current policy. After further research... I see that is not the case...

    Preferred CBR rooms worth it?

    Not 'worth it'... to us of course! CBR is big... but has a fantastic resort layout. Each village is equipped with their own bus stop and quiet pool. Trinidad South is where the Pirate rooms are located, we stayed in them back in 2009... easily a 12-15min walk to OPR (door to door). This was...

    Buy Tickets Now for Aug Trip?

    **If you buy now, and decide you'd like to upgrade your 5 day PHs to an AP... you will NOT be able to do so with discounted, 3rd Party tickets... you would have to buy directly with Disney to allow for an AP upgrade when you arrive**

    Buy Tickets Now for Aug Trip?

    There would be no reason to wait... Disney RARELY discounts tickets when they're not included in a package. UndercoverTourist is selling 5 day PHs for $366/$345 compared to Disney's $387/$366... just a thought. You can certainly wait... and keep your eye on discounted tickets sites. As long...

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    I remember reading this last month... perhaps one step closer? "In other news, you may have noticed a new lengthy rehab is also planned for the Liberty Tree Tavern that will see the restaurant closed for almost 5 months (July 6 to Nov. 20). I'm told that the focus of the work here isn't on the...

    MNSSHP 2015 Dates

    Stay up to date with Park Hours Calenders as this will be the 'earliest' you'll learn of Party Dates: If the MK closes at 7p in Sept or Oct... it's likely a reflection of a MNSSHP night, with the exception to Night of Joy in early September. Park hours for those months will be released before...

    Prices for the Polynesian DVC Bungalows

    Stumbled upon this while looking into 'fixed week' contracts: Intercot Foruns, June 2013 o_O I will say it looks like consensus for Poly DVC is overwhelmingly positive. Exisiting members and those who've been hesitant to buy are excited for this ownership opportunity. Playing around with...

    Prices for the Polynesian DVC Bungalows

    Apologies Flynn... I some how 'missed' that aspect of your earlier post... and agree. I personally view the bungalows as 'just another option' for those with the means to stay in $2k+ rooms a night or who drop 800+ in points. Both groups currently exist... and have for years staying in...

    Prices for the Polynesian DVC Bungalows

    Why is anybody even 'looking' at these bungalows if they DIDN'T want to be in Central Florida?! If people want to go to Bora Bora... they research Bora Bora. If people want to go to Disney... they research Disney. I don't understand the decision to compare the two? If a free standing, lake...
