The Exchange store has cases of water, but I have not seen any drinks in bulk. They have a wide selection of beers, soft drinks, OJ, PowerAde, Gatorade, lemonade, iced tea, sweet tea, milk, and a selection of beers and wines, hard liquors in the coolers in the back of the Exchange store. If you...

The Shades buses run continuously during the day to and from the TTC, say every 10-15 minutes. But the theme park buses run at the top and bottom of the hour, as well as to Disney Springs. Unfortunately the Shades bus lots at the parks and Disney Springs is located far away in the "other /...

Shades of Green (i.e. http://www.shadesofgreen.org) has THREE sit down restaurants. The first one is an Italian-style restaurant that was mentioned above -- Mangino's Bistro -- that serves only dinner from 1700 - 2200 (5-9pm) . It's a really nice casual, fancyish Italian kitchen. Really great...

Returned from a trip to WDW a few days ago. My parents, who have visited WDW with me 20-30 some times since 1976-77, joined my girlfriend -- who was visiting WDW for the first time. We had plans to visit SeaWorld, but we never got off WDW property. I wouldn't say my girlfriend is hooked but as...

Good information from both of you -- Give Me The Music and Lazyboy 97. I searched a little more on this forum section and noticed that a "passport" ticket is not a park hopper ticket and most of the WDW Magic friends have purchased multi-day passes and visited TDR several days. Unfortunately I...

Hi everyone. I will have a chance in the coming weeks to visit Tokyo Disney and visit both parks. I am researching the resort and planning my free weekend in around around Tokyo. I noticed that Tokyo Disney has a 1-day passport. Is the price of the ticket considered a parkhopper of sorts so I...

It is standard for all hotels and resorts, Disney or no Disney, to not assign hotel rooms until you or your party arrives on arrival day. Hotels keep a running tally of open rooms, room service cleaning rooms, etc. on pretty much a real-time basis. Once you booked the hotel with whatever...

Let me point out some of my favorite plants. See that up there? That's hibiscus. See those over there (points to the riverbank)? Those are lowbiscus. And see those plants on the water? Those are my favorite. Those are seabiscus.

Though I have not seen it posted on this forum section, Inside The Magic featured the new strolling pirates and sailors of the Royal Navy. Sees this is here to stay ... http://www./2015/12/photos-pirates-take-over-walt-disney-worlds-adventureland/

News happens regardless if you stop to have fun and relax and escape. First thing I remember was in August 1990 when Saddam Hussein of Iraq invaded Kuwait. My family and I were staying at the former Disney Inn (now Shades of Green). Two years later in August 1993 me and my friend stayed at WDW...

Off campus on fifth floor of Shades of Green parking garage. You can hear the music quite clearly from the Polynesian and Grand Floridian across the street.

You can say that again. It's like you are on the base but no one is in uniform -- except the employees. All the hotel guests are respectful of one another and the staff. We all have a common bond. As for the resort itself, I agree it's like a country club resort with a Disney gift shop. It...

If they are not busy, the bellhops can take you in the Shady Shuttle golf cart to the top of the property -- or pick you up.

As well, add on about 5 more minutes to walk to the Transportation and Ticket Center, if you wish. If you are a runner, may I consider running the Shades path to the Poly, take the path to the Grand Floridian, back through the Poly and to the TTC. A good 3 or so miles. The cool thing is that...

Still could come in handy if they visit Trader Sam's Grog Grotto and order a "Submarine" drink.

Back at the end of June and start of July (Fourth of July weekend) me and my family noticed that the trains were operating but I could only see one or two locomotives and one extra piece. They were not whole trains.

My family won THREE free Walt Disney World trips through radio station contests. The first trip was in February 1982 during WDW's 10th anniversary. The following year in February 1983 my family won again marking the opening of EPCOT Center. The third and final trip free trip took place in...

In addition to the cafes in the four parks, don't forget the original Starbucks that has been around since 2007 at the Shades of Green.

Grog Grotto is restricted to those under 21 after 8 p.m. daily says Disney. So, best to visit with your small kids in tow between 4-8pm.
