I just got back from the World (trip report coming soon) & I thought the whole bag check thing was rather silly. While it didn't slow things down too much, the bags were given a rather cursory glance at best. It's anyone's guess what all those people without a bag were carrying in through...

Spaceship Earth - more the ride system than the ride itself. They need more comfortable seats and cars that are less noisy. Sometimes it's hard to hear Jeremy Irons narration due to all the clickty-clank. I agree with one of the earlier posters also about Walter Cronkite's narration...

Wow look at all these great ideas! I didn't even know some of these things existed. Now I may have to plan a second trip! :) I'm only going on a short 4-day trip this time, but I'll definately try to work in some of these suggestions, particularly the Epcot/AK ideas since those are my...

I'm heading down to WDW next week & was wondering if anyone can suggest some "out of the ordinary" places to visit or see. Don't get me wrong, I still plan to spend time in the parks, but I would like to explore some of the hidden treasures at WDW this time around, particularly since the parks...

Looks like your questions have already been answered, but I do recommend you make time for as many of those nighttime fireworks shows as you can. I really think they're one of the best features of the parks & worth sticking around a bit later for. I'm partial to Illuminations at Epcot myself...

Funny you should mention the moderates because I was originally hoping to stay at Coronado Springs. I've stayed there before & liked it very much, but the rates here at Easter (even with a AAA discount) were considerably higher than the Wyndahm or value resorts. I hope to return to a moderate...

Thanks for all the replies & things to think about! It was a tough decision, but I've decided to go with the Wyndham. I think the proximity to DTD & the additional amenities (balcony, nicer pools, health club, etc.) were what sold me on it. It'll be interesting to see if that lack of...

I'm heading down to WDW the week of April 12th & that's still the "high" season for Disney hotel rates. I see on Expedia where I can get the Wyndahm Palace across from DTD for essentially the same price as a Disney value resort (All Star, etc.). Would anyone recommend this? The hotel...

A while back, I had read somewhere that they were considering creating a clone of Disneyland Paris' popular "Cinemafique!" attraction at the Studios. (I know the attraction's name is probably spelled wrong - forgive me!). It was a theatre attraction where you enter a classic old movie...

What a great idea about the torches & lanterns! Reminds me of the Poly & their Tiki torches at night - makes that resort much more interesting at night. Not sure about the summer, but AK has stayed open as late as 8:00 during the chaotic Christmas/New Years week. I never go then, so I've...

I agree Animal Kingdom is a sleeping giant! I love the Beastly Kingdom concept. Also, I think it would also greatly help to add some less costly improvements like more air-conditioned areas & sit-down restaurants. Maybe even replace that sub-par Pocahontas show with another Lion-King type...

I'm surprised you heard mixed reviews, because I've always thought the bus service at Coronado was quite good relative to other resorts. When I stayed there, the buses did not stop at other resorts en route to the parks, which significantly sped things up. Also, they were never crowded...

I'm not a DVC member, however I've stayed at OKW twice. Overall, I liked it, however it does have its pros & cons. I agree with the earlier posters that the resort is very quiet and relaxing. That, along with the stunning rooms, I think are the resort's biggest advantages. On the down...
