Edward pretty much nails why the DDP works for some of us, but not everyone. I think one thing some of you are overlooking (and it's understandable, given the venue) is that not all of us can swing multiple visits to a Disney park in a year, and may go many years without a visit. To wit, our...

Oh wow... That freaks me the Hell out because those are the exact tracks I most frequently listen to when I'm going to sleep and have for years. The Animal Kingdom soundtrack can relax me like few other albums. Some of my favorite area music in the parks. Throw in a large selection of tracks...

We're kind of operating under the assumption that Splash will be closed during our Jan. 2010 visit. If it's open, it will be a pleasant surprise but we rode it four or five times last trip, so we could survive missing it this time. But what about other water rides? Specifically, I'm thinking...

Not a myth. I saw it with my own eyes when my mom, a travel agent, won a trip to WDW in '98 during the AK sneak preview open only to travel industry folks and cast member families and I got invited along as a college graduation present. I had no problem with Big Dead Red and found it...

Nice to see more January threads popping up. My wife and I will be there Jan. 3 - 10, staying at WL. We're actually looking forward to catching some of the holiday decor before it comes down. Wish they'd leave it up longer. As it is, we'll probably only get to see the Osborne lights, since we've...

Is it weird that I hated the Mickey arm at Epcot with the heat of a thousand searing Suns, yet I've always kind of liked the sorcerer's hat? Yeah, it's frustrating that it blocks the theater, but somehow it never bothered me as much as it seems to bother others (and I'd been to MGM-Disney in the...

Love this shirt. Hope they still have it on our trip this January and that it comes in XXL.

Less worried about the lights going up...More worried about them coming down, since we'll be there Jan. 3 - 10, and I'm pretty sure I read the lights will be on the castle through Jan. 4th. Are we screwed?

One great thing about wearing the button the whole trip that sort of justifies it is that you get to experience your birthday in the different parks and see how they acknowledge it in the different restaurants, on rides, or even just walking down the street. Because you never know when the magic...

Yeah, I tend to only keep pins I'm actually willing to trade on my lanyard, because otherwise you'll run into folks, especially kids, who will want your biggest, prettiest, most valuable pin, and you can't exactly haggle with them or tell them 'no' without coming off like a jerk. If you go on...

Hi Jeff, I know where you're coming from. I grew up 20 mins from Six Flags Over Georgia and I was terrified of roller coasters as a kid. By the time I got over my fear of them, I was prone to nausea and despite my best efforts, would blow chunks every time I got off most of the looping...

Happy early birthday! I've celebrated a birthday at WDW and DL and both times were great experiences. Taking my wife to WDW to celebrate her 28th birthday this January. Which leads me to an informal survey: For those who have celebrated their birthday in the parks during a multi-day trip, did...

I've only eaten at Coral Reef once, and that was in '98, but you don't have to read much to glean that this spot is languishing and that the menu and overall experience is in desperate need of a makeover. I suspect CR tends to coast on the wow factor of dining adjacent to a massive aquarium, but...

R.I.P. Robert Altman...

Based on population alone, India deserves to be in WS. The Taj Mahal would make a great pavilion centerpiece and WDW certainly needs more Indian food. But again, India gets much love over in Animal Kingdom, which kind of undercuts the idea of installing it in WS as well. Because Rio de Janeiro...

Touche. :hammer:I should have said central and south African countries (i.e., those known for their wildlife, which is why they're so prominent in AK). I did see someone mention a desire to see Egypt in WS, and it seems like it would be a tough call with Morocco already filling the north African...

Wild speculation or not, Spain would be a good add (they're serving sangria at Via Napoli...obviously a test run :rolleyes:). But another western European country just highlights the huge portions of the globe completely unrepresented at WDW. The absence of African and south Asian countries is...

Thanks for the report, Erin! Very curious about this device. We'll be at WDW in early January, so it'd be nice if they have these working by then. My wife and I are iPhone users and while there are several decent apps for piecing together this kind of functionality, it's not going to be as...

Our next trip is Jan. 3 - 9. Is this work supposed to be wrapped up by then or is this part of the larger Fantasyland expansion?

While complaints about the theming and the poor layout of the space are valid, you really have to give any restaurant a few months to get service and food prep issues ironed out. Even the best restaurants often have a rough start in those areas, and I imagine that goes double for a resto in a...
