    Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Pary

    I think the gave out a little booklet or something when you arrived. There is probably a way to see it ahead of time, but I'm not sure. Maybe check the park hours calendar at Disney's web site and check details for a party night.

    Toll Road Cost

    That's not just Dollar. There's a dedicated program for rental companies, and Dollar is one of several that participate. Note that for Dollar, that $7 is a flat fee - it includes the tolls. Same goes for Thrifty, and a few others. Since tolls are included, it may not be such a bad deal...

    Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Pary

    I know I'm in the minority - maybe I just had a bad experience or something - but I did it once and don't think I'd do it again. The parade was nice - but we're not really parade people. We only watched it because of the perception that we paid "extra" for it (we're passholders, so it's not...

    No more Wishes?

    The likelihood (or lack thereof) of the rumor aside, I still remember having exactly the same reaction, before Wishes debuted, to hearing that Fantasy in the Sky was ending. It's funny that I can't even remember anything about that show anymore, but I remember not being happy that it was being...

    30 days out, final checklist help!

    I'm not sure if this would be of any interest to you - I'm an AP holder and you only go every few years - but the last time I brought newbies to the parks, I took the role of "runner", taking everyone's tickets and running around getting FPs while everyone else rode the attractions. I and the...

    Which Disney Outlet Store?

    Orlando Premium Outlets on Vineland (OPO-V) is probably the closest, and based on what I've read online is the nicest. Lake Buena Vista Outlets (LBV) is just a little bit farther away, and has a Character Outlet, which isn't strictly Disney but does have Disney merchandise. I can't remember...

    Toll Road Cost

    I'm a local(ish) passholder, and the tolls for me were $7 round trip before the hikes. Probably closer to $8 and change now. And even I won't bear the drive on non-toll roads. US192 is actually far more direct than the route I take - but I did that once and will never do it again.

    Two News Stories from The Orlando Sentinel

    Yeah, I know, I know - that's why I qualified that I'd heard it from other sources.

    Two News Stories from The Orlando Sentinel

    Not xPass specifically, but NextGen. Supposedly $1B. Jim Hill is the source I remember specifically, but definitely not the only source. I know I've heard it on at least one of the local news stations. And I thought there was a NYTimes article linked around here somewhere as well. Now, I...

    Two News Stories from The Orlando Sentinel

    Well - I'm admittedly following a couple of different threads on this general topic so it's possible I'm confused but - I thought we were talking about he NextGen version of FastPass in which you'll be able to book your FastPasses ahead of time, which (unless I'm mistaken) is xPass. In which...

    Two News Stories from The Orlando Sentinel

    A key element of the xPass system involves ending this practice. Based, of course, on rumor, since that's all there is right now.

    Ride issues for a tall person

    I'm 6'3", and there's nothing I can't do. (At least nothing I've tried that I can't do). But Space Mountain is tight for me, as is Astro Orbiter (alone - don't even think about riding tandem with someone). But with both of those, you sit with your legs stretched out in in front, so I just...

    Toll Road Cost

    There's an online toll calculator at the expressway authority's web site. http://www.expresswayauthority.com/Corporate/travel/TollCalculator.aspx I ran the toll from Boggy Creek Road, where the airport is, to exit 3 and exit 6 on SR417. According to the toll calculator, if you leave SR417...

    Love Bug question for those there or just returning...

    Personally, I've never seen them surge, abate, and reemerge. So if others have seen them in large numbers in the past few weeks, I'd say they're likely gone for the season. Meanwhile, I saw the first couple in my yard just yesterday.

    Two News Stories from The Orlando Sentinel

    Based on some of what I've been hearing most recently, this may not be a problem. I just listened to an episode of Betamouse Podcast that discussed some material that they discovered somewhere or other on NextGen, and the sense I got was that you would answer some questions about the makeup of...

    5th Park Opening in Time for WDW's 50th (Jim Hill)

    I'm not sure a fifth gate is a very risky prediction to make. When Night Kingdom was shelved due to the economy, my assumption was that it would return eventually. Likewise, if there is a fifth gate by 2021, my assumption is that this is what it will be.

    After the Fantasyland expansion, then what?

    Well, you seem to dismiss Avatar - but the announcement mentioned a construction start date that seems to butt up pretty close to the end of Fantasyland construction, and which takes us into around 2015. That doesn't seem like much of an accident. Now if we want to prime the rumor pump, Jim...

    Cinderella's Table

    Well, I've done CRT once, and CP twice. But I've only done CRT for breakfast and I've only done CP for lunch, so I can't give you an apples to apples comparison on food. But I will say that I enjoyed the food a CP - if for no other reason that it's a buffet and you're bound to find something...

    Is it going to rain?

    It's probably too late for you but - last I heard it's supposed to be very high chances today and then dry out the rest of the week. 60% today, 20% or less from tomorrow through the end of the forecast period. And like everyone else has mentioned, when it does rain (this time of year) it's...
