At Shades both the mickey head-shaped Mill Pond pool and the second pool near the Palm and Magnolia golf pro shop are open from 10am-10pm. Both pools are fenced with gated entry. Both pools are locked overnight.

I would have to say Mangino's Bistro at Shades of Green.

Though this should probably be in the dining and restaurants thread (update: thanks for the move Steve!), I recently returned from a week at Disney World with the big family. We all stayed at the Shades of Green and had a wonderful time. Three small nieces and my brother-in-law experienced their...

Pictures of the inside and outside when Grog Grotto opened at the of of March 2015. As all said above, the Grog Grotto opens at 4pm and closes at 12 midnight. At times throughout the evening the inside seating there is usually a 60-minute wait, but the outside is just as pleasant. After a day...

<sarcasm>I love the video on an associated link that gives 7 hacks for adults at WDW. You can't go wrong with seeing the best concerts at Downtown Disney at the Hard Rock Hotel.</sarcasm> http://www.businessinsider.com/disney-world-hacks-adults-2014-5 Even better, they encourage adults to...

Yes, I was wondering if can show me where you have the "Apple Dumpling Gang" or "The S-h-a-g-g-y DA" or "The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes" plush toys section? Thanks.

My first trip when I was 6 in 1976 and my sister just turned 2. Parents and me and sister drove from Ohio to Florida in a Ford Pinto.

Great place to visit is Evergreens at the Shades of Green. Awesome sports bar. Lots of TVs, great food and special beers.

I've been waiting for this for a year. After Mother Nature threw Memphis an ice storm curveball the day before the race and forced the cancellation (just like Dallas), the 2014 run was much better. Upwards of 18,000 runners. A little windy, make that a lot windy, but in the low 50s. Overcast...

The traffic signs were replaced overnight. Yeah, Disney or no Disney you just don't want to slam into those. The next day the car's side mirror and other molding were just left in a pile on the grass. Just wonder what the deductible would be?

I'm at WDW presently. On the evening of Dec. 1, 2014, after returning from a day at Universal's parks with my good friend, there was a one car accident in front of the Shades of Green entrance. About an hour after my friend left Shades, I decided to walk across the street to the Polynesian for...

After working a lot between my TV job and my military weekend job, I decided to squeeze in a little me time, a little fun time, down at Disney World. Needed it so much just to get away for a few days. Haven't been to WDW since my less than 24-trip in November 2013 to fly, nap, run, drink, eat...

Race team said they got the leg laps on Amazon. Yeah, pretty sweet bling if they made them into finishers medals. Check out A Christmas Story Run 5k/10K that takes place in Cleveland, where the movie was filmed and the house is located. Runs the first weekend of December. They even have a...

Less than 24 hours after my 7 mile taper run I ran the Break A Leg 5K off Beale Street that started and finished at the Orpheum Theatre. After a nice, warm day Saturday, Sunday morning was met with rain. Lots of rain. Still in the mid-60s. The race started at 2pm and I kid you not the rain...

After running my eighth half marathon last week (canceled 2013 St. Jude Memphis half), ran 1.75 miles Tuesday in sunny but very windy conditions. Mid50s and I broke a sweat. Then fast-forward to Saturday I did 7 miles at dusk along the Mississippi River. Actually 7.02 in 75 minutes. Unlike...

What the? I heard that part of the race was very windy (Santa Ana winds). Some of the mile markers were blown over due to winds.

I also remember when my dad held his annual conventions that there was an Empress Lilly / Liberty Belle / TTC ferryboat. We took a cruise one night that circled the lagoon between the backside of Contemporary to Fort Wilderness and around the old Discovery Island. Haven't seen that big...

I have a lot of these bags as well. These were extra souvenirs to me. I know Disney changes their bags from time time to time but the 1970s and into the 1980s the bags added an extra thing of magic.

Paper straws! I remember those. Red and white twisty. Very unique at the time as well as all the themed-specific napkins - 15th anniversary, WDW logo designed napkins.
