    Ample Hills Creamery - Creator of the Star Wars Ice Cream coming to Disney's BoardWalk?

    Don't forget about Ghirardelli. Sundaes are at least $9.45, with shakes starting at $6.50 for a small. Ample Hills seems comparable, if not a higher-quality product. http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/ghirardelli-soda-fountain-and-chocolate-shop/menus.htm

    Best snacks at WDW

    I don't want to burst your bubble, but I'd keep my expectations about the beignets in check. The past two times I've ordered them (2014 and 2015), they were ok, but nowhere near as good as they used to be. They seemed a little heavier than in past years.

    D-Luxe Burger coming to Disney Springs

    I don't consider these prices expensive at all, at least all things considered. This is a place to get higher-quality burgers in a tourist destination. A local chain that focuses on locally-sourced fresh ingredients opened up a location in my town several months ago. It's in the middle of a...

    Disney Dollars will not be sold after Saturday

    Nope. Still against the law to have expiration dates and service fees in both FL and CA.

    Disney Dollars will not be sold after Saturday

    In addition to a production cost, there is probably also some costs associated to the handling and processing of them. With gift cards, once they're produced, there's no cost associated them. They just sit in a display until purchased and activated, and then everything else is handled...

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    Wow. That is really similar to the new plaza gardens. Does this mean a Ratatouille-themed area is coming soon? ;)

    News World Drive Magic Kingdom Intersection Re-Design

    It looks like instead of the toll booths being moved, the ramp to continue north to the resorts will begin before the booth, on the left side of the roadway.

    Saratoga or old key west

    Goof pretty much nailed it with the above post, but I just wanted to add a little about the rooms. I highly recommend you review the room layout maps that are out there. I've only stayed in a 2BR at SSR (I've also been inside a Studio there), and have stayed in Studios, 2BR, and GV in OKW...

    bruce plush toy at epcot

    The Shop Disney Parks app has a 17" Talking Bruce Plush listed for $21.95. You can order it through the app and have it shipped home (for a fee), or wait and get it in WDW. (Currently, multiple locations across the property have it showing as in stock.)

    Wheel Chair Rental and Rules

    Just to add one more option to what @EOD K9 said, there are outside vendors that you can book ahead of time. The one my family used is a "partner" vendor, and left a wheelchair with bell services on our check-in day. It was ours to use for the entire week, and we just had to leave it with bell...

    Really Bothered at Star Tours

    Is this just fantasy?

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I know that our insiders have said that the changes in concept art for Slinky are due to budget cuts. And I don't doubt that at all. But could the elimination of the trenches be partly caused by the ground itself? I know very little about this sort of thing, but if the water table is too high...

    What are the cuts at Disney World quick service. Less choice or less food? Or both?

    I'm truly not calling anyone out, so please don't take it that way, but how much of this is psychological? If you go to WDW thinking that there are cuts everywhere and the quality has been diminished, odds are, you'll leave thinking that was the actual experience. It's things that we've never...

    Earfell Tower to be removed

    I just got an email from The Disney Store advertising their latest limited release t-shirt. I'll give you two guesses as to what it features, and the first one doesn't count....... [Obligatory space to give you time to change your answer of 'Catastrophe Canyon'.] Yup. It's the Earffel Tower...

    Which building at Saratoga springs?

    When I was there in October, we stayed in Congress Park, Building 12 I believe. The walk to DTD/DS was no more than 5-10 minutes along the water and over the new bridge/dock. Probably a bit closer to 10 minutes if you're in one of the CP buildings closer to the middle of the resort. I haven't...

    The one Disney food you always buy to bring home with you

    Two large bags of Mickey Pretzels, two pouches of Sour Gummy Mickeys, and one pouch of Licorice Mickeys. I don't know what it is about those Mickey Pretzels, but they are practically perfect in every way.

    Hall of Presidents This Year

    According to the News archive for the HoP from the main site here, it was closed for 8 months when Obama was added. However, it was a complete refurb/reworking of the show, and not just adding Obama.

    Fastpass 3

    I'd actually argue the exact opposite is true. With the current system, I can schedule a FP+ for TSMM at 6pm. If I so choose, I could then go to MK that morning, ride a bunch of rides, go get a late lunch at Earl of Sandwich, then go to DHS for my 6pm FP+. Under the old system, I'd go to the...

    Does Disney lie about wait times in their official app???

    The other thing to keep in mind is that a wait time of X minutes is what the wait was X minutes ago. Due to the way the red scan cards work, the system doesn't know that the wait it 20 minutes until those 20 minutes have passed. Any line that forms (or doesn't form) behind the red card will...
