    Peak crowd WiFi performance

    That's surprisingly good all things considered. I've had good days and bad days with wifi performance at the parks, in varying crowd levels.

    Trip (July 30-August 6) Anxiety, fast pass help wanted

    As of right now, the paper Fastpasses are still the system in use. They have been doing limited testing of the new FP+ system, but that's been by invitation only. The return window on the Fastpasses, which has always been there, is now being enforced. So you must return within the time...

    Happy Independence Day! Which state do you originally hail from?

    Born and raised in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area of Pennsylvania, and moved to Tampa, Florida last year. Nice to see PA well represented!

    1 Day too early for free dining

    Absolutely you can use Magical Express with a room only reservation. Chances are you'll be able to keep the same room, but not a guarantee. When you check in for the first night, just let them know you have a second reservation and would like to stay in the same room. You still will have to...

    Maelstrom refurbished!

    Most recently the Annual Passholder conversion site from paper to RFID cards. Otherwise just a setting for special/private events.

    Maelstrom refurbished!

    I agree it looks like nothing has been done, since the wall has remained up for a long time. But you can't make the assumption that no work has been completed in that period. Looking back at images from an earlier visit, it looks like the scrims and scaffolding behind the wall are more recent...

    Maelstrom refurbished!

    The pic confirms it hasn't been fixed yet, but it doesn't confirm that no work has been performed.

    Maelstrom refurbished!

    As of this past Saturday, the walls are still unfortunately up outside: Hopefully the effort to correct issues inside will find its it way out here as well.

    Epcot/ Transportation Question

    World Showcase doesn't officially open until 11 a.m. However, the International Gateway entrance is open, and you can walk from there to Future World with no issue. (In fact, from Future World, you can walk as far as Norway on the left, where Akershus is open for breakfast, and as far as France...

    Ohana's for Dinner?

    Keep trying, it's early yet and it's quite possible a cancellation will occur between now and then. I would reserve something else in the meantime that you will enjoy to ensure you don't miss out altogether; you can always cancel it if Ohana opens up.

    Late Summer Vacation Package Offer - "2014" When is that released ? 5%-30%?

    They generally don't publish discounts that far out, at least not in the US. (I've seen promotions like free dining released in the UK much further in advance.) For release dates of previous years' discounts, check out...

    The Land Escalator Replacement?

    That's what we were thinking. Maybe everyone was arriving today and hadn't hit the park yet. Fine by me! Before we moved here, we twice vacationed that second week of May, and both times very little rain and otherwise great weather (although hot back in 2011 - record heat of 95+).

    The Land Escalator Replacement?

    The weather was definitely less than stellar today. On and off rain/thunder showers, sticky hot humidity... the typical Florida summer weather. It's been too long since we last drove up for the day, so we bit the bullet and made the best of it. Surprisingly, crowd levels at Epcot this morning...

    The Land Escalator Replacement?

    Well, I'll go ahead and be the one who post the pics of an escalator replacement. It's not a simple repair by the looks of things, but a whole rip out and replace sorta deal. The "down" escalator is completely ripped out. The "up" escalator was still running as usual today. Multi-color...

    No need to tweet.. I got wdwmagic :) A post as I go trip report....

    This alternate exit out of The Land is being used because the "down" escalator is currently being replaced. At least that's what the CM there explained to me today. :)

    New water-side restaurant 'Spice Road Table' coming to Epcot's Morocco Pavilion?

    Some pictures of the progress as of today, 6/29/2013. First two show the photo scrim, from across the lagoon, it does blend in relatively well. Better than just a generic brown wall/scrim. You can see the building rising in the second picture: Here's some closer views of the...
