    Innoventions West to Close in May?

    This makes me sad. EPCOT isn't at all what it used to be and really there are (IMO) only 3 FP worthy things there (MS, Soarin', TT) so using a FP there really leaves no choice and heavily crowded existing areas. Closing West will just be one less area to draw some of the crowd.

    Boardwalk Inn or Contemporary Resort?

    Contemporary - pure theme - Boardwalks creepy clown slide at the pool just bugs me! The pools at Contemporary are very nice (and when I stayed there one was just adult!) Garden wing is great we had a first floor with "patio" nice and quiet and near the pool.

    early arrival

    It always works like "magic" but if you're coming in from a colder climate make sure to put some "resort" wear in an easily accessible place to do a quick change before hitting the parks. (if your room isn't ready)

    family discounts through DCP

    My daughter just got accepted into the DCP. We've read about the room discounts for families but does anyone have first hand info about the amount of discount, how it's applied to the room etc. Believe it or not we had a family trip booked for Oct. when she got accepted. I'm hoping I can...

    Selfie sticks - is this a thing at WDW yet? Disney clarifies policy

    I still think the old fashioned, interaction between people is the best.... Hey would you take our picture please and we'll return the favor..... Good old fashioned communication. But I think people with the sticks lack the ability to speak to others... so sad... sometimes you get to meet...

    Florida commission: Disney discriminated against autistic visitors

    After reading this through it's clear that autism is misunderstood. I work with autistic children every day. Part of my job is helping de-sensitize children to their "triggers". Quite frankly the triggers can be anything! Light, food, sound, colors. For example we have one boy who has very...

    Character Dining? Should I or shouldn't I?

    We did CRT years ago (way before the mad dash for ADR) it's an experience. We do a character meal every trip (now a party of all adults) One of our faves is Askerhaus in Norway. Another fave is Tusker House in Ak (love the safari outfits on all the characters)

    Staying at the Contemporary

    I stayed in the Contemporary and loved it. We were in the garden rooms (they are much closer to the pool) and as many have said the walk is quick to MK. Enjoy!

    Room Upgrades

    The last time we stayed at BC I booked a "standard" view room. When we arrived we opened the door to our room and ta-da! we had a balcony water view room. Fantastic!. I have found that asking never hurts. But in this instance we didn't ask at all. We were there in August so maybe they just...
