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

    Oh wow! When was that removed? I don't remember that one at all.

    If and When Apple Buys Disney, Will Parks Finally Improve?

    I'd rather see Apple come into Epcot as a sponsor for the Imagination pavilion. For a few years their marketing slogan was "Think Different". I could see the two ideas being combined for a new ride and Apple making great use of the old Image Works area with their technology.

    First use of MyMagic+ long-range MagicBand capabilities begins tomorrow at all four parks

    So the idea is you can get of the ride and just walk on by the photos and your photo is automatically linked to the band. My only concern would be how can you verify that that actually happened, other than standing in line at the counter? Maybe something like having the abilty check your...

    There's a Donut Shop here that sells Dole Whips too: http://www.donutsandsliders.com Though I also bought the same mix to make them at home.

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

    This makes me sad. The DW and I got married at Sunset Point at the Poly. The Poly had a special place in our heart from that day... But it always did before then too. That's why we got married there. We both spent time at that waterfall (separately) before the ceremony and then afterwards...

    Rental cars at MCO/WDW.

    I know with Alamo if you join their free insider program you get 10% off rack rates. Then check Mousesavers for various promo codes that can be combined with that. Might help some.

    The Disney Channels In Disarray

    Ugh, We can't stand Nickelodeon either. Oh yes, only the classics. We caught a few minutes of the "new" Looney Tunes and turned it off.

    The Disney Channels In Disarray

    I think the only thing we watch on the Disney Channel regularly these days is Disney Jr. shows. DW and I can't stand the other shows so we don't let our DD watch 'em. I did wish they brought back stuff like the Silly Symphonies, Merry Melodies, or just you know.... Disney Cartoons. We have...

    Guest Restraining Walls around 7DMT?

    This just reminds of my first high school band trip in '95 to WDW. In one trip: 1) 1 person got out of the floom on Splash Mtn and started walking around the ride, resulting in a full shut down. 2) I watched someone I knew at the MK monorail station hop the railing, jump on the monorail track...

    Mine Ride Construction Update

    Is just the angles or are the coaster tracks that close to the wall and guests? Seems like it's just a "sitting on the wall and falls backwards' moment away from someone getting killed or some or mean-spirited guest from tossing something into a passing train.

    Buena Vista Suites

    It's been awhile but if I recall there was like 4 pick ups in morning going out to the parks and then the 2 or 3 pickups at the parks in the evening. There's no shuttle* during the day. Not much within walking distance except for the CVS across the street and a gas station. A restaurant or...

    Contemplating renting DVC points

    We've rented points to stay at the Boardwalk Villas and at the Villas at Animal Kindgom Lodge. Completely worth it and I might do it again soon for a stay the boardwalk. We love the themeing and the close proximity of the Boardwalk to Epcot and DHS.

    ENGAGEMENT HELP FOR DISNEY VET NEEDED!

    I always say keep it simple. Less pressure and stress of worrying about things working the way you want/hope them too. I had schemes of proposing to my DW at various places through the Magic Kingdom but the moment never made it itself 'right'. Too many people, too noisy, etc.. So I waited a...

    Early 90's Light Rail/Trolley System Proposal for WDW

    Much as I can't stand the busses I'd probably prefer them over a property wide track-based system. If 1 bus break downs, just that single bus affected. But if 1 trolley breaks down the whole line goes down (like the monorail).

    Driving to WDW from MS

    There's a Holiday Inn Express about 5 miles before Tallahassee right off I-10 (Exit for Quincy) we stayed at one trip going there and coming back. Pretty nice with a free little breakfast. http://goo.gl/maps/6NDl5

    Basically it's a complete revamp of Downtown Disney.

    Disney to stop issuing paper stock certificates

    Glad I got mine when I did (course that was nearly 10 years ago when they were like $$20-30/share). Every year I get the shareholder packet (with voting rights) and a dividend check. I get about $0.30/year for my stock, lol.
