    Disney Is Reportedly Looking to Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean

    I don't think I'd mind a reboot of the franchise. The first movie came out just over 15 years ago in 2003. So I wouldn't say it's too soon for one. Look at Spiderman, it's been rebooted twice since it's first film in 2002. I'd probably prefer a totally new cast and story archs though. Something...

    Who else is thinking about waiting until 2020 or so to go back to the World?

    Us too pretty much. We go every other year, with next March 2019 being our next trip. So we'll be able to check out Toy Story Land and Pandora before SWGE opens luckily. Our next WDW trip would then be 2021 and hopefully by then SWGE won't be too causing too much of a mad house, so we'll see...

    My Disney Experience + Renting DVC Points + ADR

    We've rented points several times and doing so again for our next trip in March (rented points direct from member and bought e-tickets from Undercover Tourist). Once you have your resort reservation number and your Park tickets, you can link them with your MDE account. Then you'll be able to...

    News Parking Fees increase effective October 16 2018

    If I was staying offsite for our next trip, $25/day still wouldn't bother me. For 6 days of parking and $150 worth gas to drive to/from WDW, sure still beats the $2,575 Southwest wants for airfare.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I noticed these port holes looking things too that go through the walls in both of them.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    They don't look like cargo containers though (to me at least). You can see it has metal framing, insulation, door frames (but no doors), and a window. source: http://blogmickey.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/disney-skyliner-station-pop-art-10042018-10.jpg Maybe it's this wall thing in back of...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    Wonder if you'd be able to just walk to the CBR station from those AoA/POP buildings closest to the CBR and then just catch the line to Epcot or DHS. The walk from the furthest AoA building to the AoA station is almost the same as walking under the Gondola line to the CBR station, about .30...

    Free maps?

    All Ears some recent-ish PDFs of the Park Maps if that's useful.

    GPS Tracker

    Has anyone used any sort of GPS enabled device (other than a cellphone) to create a GPS track of your day in a park? Whenever we visit WDW, we always do up a daily journal to recap what we did and sometimes even a few hours later forget what order we did stuff. So I thought doing a GPS track...

    Favorite AFFORDABLE off property

    Our go-to offsite hotel has always been Buena Vista Suites. Can get a 1BR suite for about $100 or less a night depending on dates and includes a free decent breakfast. https://www.buenavistasuites.com https://goo.gl/maps/7TBKoegM6JL2

    How much did your trip cost?

    Here's the budget breakdown from our planner spreadsheet from our last trip in Feb 2017. Overall Grand total for 2 adults, 2 kids on rented DVC points at BWV for 6 nights was 4,608.44. We drove this year (and will from now on) so that saved used about $1,200 in airfare and we used our Visa...

    Boardwalk DVC Villas - Preferred Room Worth It?

    We've stayed in a preferred 1 bedroom twice I think, and while we enjoyed the view it had over the boardwalk with Spaceship Earth in view, 1 trip we didn't enjoy the constant noise from the people outside at the restaurant below our 2nd floor balcony. So could be hit or miss depending on...

    Do you use park hopper is it really worth it?

    About 9 years ago before the kids, we used get park hoppers every trip as the DW and I always liked to have dinner at Epcot a few nights. Plus DHS and AK were pretty much done in the same day then for us. With the kids and with all the added expenses for them, we don't get the park hopper...

    So is anyone not going anymore? (I'm still a fan. lol)

    Still going and still enjoying it with the kids. Our next trip is set for next March. Actually that will be before SW:GE opens so it's not a zoo at DHS and we can visit Toy Story Land. Then we can visit again 1-2 years later after the SW:GE hopefully crowds settle in.

    No expiration tickets - - - -what happened.

    I remember back in 1999 or 2000, DW and I planned a trip to Orlando to do Universal and Sea World and skip Disney for once *gasp*. Prior to leaving I found we still had 2 paper stamped tickets from our trip about 1-2 years prior that still had 1 day left on them. We ended up adding a Disney...

    Can you explain to me how the child swap works on lines?

    This sounds about what we had as well. When you got the merge point in the Queue, we'd hand the cast member the child swap badge and they gave us a child swap fast pass. When we used child swap after we had to buy our youngest a park ticket, we also used that in our fast past planning. We...

    Flash Photography On Dark Rides: A Completely Anonymous Poll

    I never used a flash on a ride but I'm also at the point where I really don't take ride photos anymore. I'd try and take (non-flash) photos on our early trips or as I got a new camera to get that "better" photo, or maybe with the kids in the shot on their first trips. But not so much lately...
