    Favorite quick service restaurant in World Showcase?

    I'll join the crowd and vote for Tangerine Cafe-actually it's our favorite QS in all of WDW.

    Mazda....I'm losin' that lovin' feeling

    Never had an interest in a Mazda-now I'm glad. That said, I rented a CX-5 once and it was nice, but I wasn't "Wowed".

    Animal kingdom lodge savanna room vs standard

    I don't know if it's just DVC rooms that do this, but some of the standard rooms really overlook the savannah. They're supposedly "partial" savannah views, but to me, there's nothing "partial" about the view. One time I had a savannah view, then when I went back a few months later, I decided...

    Your favorite relaxing spots.

    Years back there was a CD put out by Disney Travel, and there was one Guy (Bob?) whose favorite attractions at WDW were all the benches. I remember him finding all the benches to relax on. Does anyone else remember that one? He was my hero!

    Boardwalk Villas vs Beach Club Villas

    I love the restful music at the Beach Club. Another reason I prefer BCV is the sand. You can squish your toes in the sand at the pool, and until last time we were there, you could walk along the beach, and watch movies on the beach. Now, I see the beach got a fence, so I'm not sure if there's...

    Captain's Grille refurbishment

    Does anyone have more specific info than just "Fall 2017"? We've been trying to get ADRs for October, hoping to get to see Ariel's, but there are NO ADRs available for either lunch or dinner for the entire 10 days we'll be there. Wondering what may be going on.

    newbie from massachusetts

    Hi there from a former Massachusetts person. Central Massachusetts for 40 years. When I go back to visit family, I go to Friendly's and have all the Reese's Pieces Sundaes I can get to make up for lost time!

    Favourite Resturants

    First, for every "favorite" vote, I'll bet the same restaurant has a "never again" from someone. Anyways, our favorite CS overall is "Tangerine Cafe" in Epcot. In AK, it's Pizzafari; in MK, it's Columbia Harbour House,; in DHS, it's Min and Bill's Dockside Diner. We don't have one favorite...

    Your favorite relaxing spots.

    My favorite relaxing spots are in Epcot, before, not after, park opening. You can enter IG at 9:00, and no one rushes you toward Future World. I love to enter IG, then grab a bench by Rose and Crown and listen to the "bush music" while watching people rushing towards Future World, CMs coming...

    Favorite Forgotten, Closed, or Underrated Attractions

    Glad to see someone else misses Timekeeper. Robin Williams and Rhea Perlman were so hysterical together. The only other attraction I really miss is the Skyway. What I really miss is restaurants/meals that are no longer, so I guess that means we all know my real motivation for going to WDW-the...

    Old key West's general store

    And check the prices. Last time we were there, DH was about to get a small bottle of orange juice. The very nice CM pointed out to him that the full size, 1/2 gallon wasn't a whole lot more than the little one, so he bought that. He actually saved money because he would have bought the little...

    Skyway : Do You Miss It ?

    I loved it. I remember my last ride on it (although I didn't know at the time that this would be my last ride). It malfunctioned and stopped, but the weather was beautiful, so I just put my feet up (I was solo) and enjoyed the scenery and weather. Meanwhile, some annoying CM, who I'm sure was...

    Changes in the Festival of the Lion King

    The bird's ballet is so beautiful-it's the one thing that whenever we go to WDW, it's guaranteed to make me cry. One of my dreams at the AK is to meet her some day, get her autograph, find out her history/schooling/training for her role. The other dream I have is to meet Joe Rhode so that...

    Main Street Vehicles - Where do you get on?

    I know that before noon you can. I used to get to the park right at opening (back in my younger days), then I was ready to leave by noon, when most people seemed to be still entering the park. It was easy to get a ride from the castle back towards the entrance, and hardly anyone else was going...

    Tusker House

    I'm one who genuinely sympathizes with you. The first time I went to a character meal solo, I didn't want any character greetings and the characters were so nice. I wasn't seated out of the way, but whenever the characters went by, they'd wave and maybe blow me a kiss, that's all. Helped me...

    Jungle Cruise/HM/Pirates Email Survey

    Yup and Yup. The question about the stage show idea kind of gave me the hint.

    Jungle Cruise/HM/Pirates Email Survey

    I got that same survey about the Jungle Cruise-yes, it seemed really specific. But a stage show? Jungle Cruise themed dishware? Some of it seemed kind of bizarre.

    End of year merchandise at WDW?

    All I remember is that it's past the Magic Kingdom. I remember we went by the Contemporary Resort and instead of turning left into the MK, as I always do on the bus, the CM I was with went straight, and it was someplace back there. At some point, I think she turned left. You have to present...

    What is the significance of your WDWMagic Userid/screenname?

    Mine is pretty basic. When I first "joined" the internet back in 1999, we had a little kitten named Simba, so I became Simba's Mom on whatever Disney site I joined. A few years ago, Simba crossed the rainbow bridge at age 16, so now it's a tribute to him.

    Jungle Cruise Forgotten Effects

    I remember as a child, having a view master that showed the skipper with a pistol, shooting the animal that popped up by the boat, and I think I remember that effect from the early years. Does anyone remember that, or did I dream it? If so, when/why did it go away? No longer become...
