    Why All the Vitriol Against Disney?

    I absolutely, completely and 100% get the Disney difference. I just don't feel like bashing them for every supposed misstep that they make and I think that's what the OP was questioning.

    I actually really like this film. Glad you mentioned it.

    Why All the Vitriol Against Disney?

    I think you said what I was trying to say…but much better, thanks. I also think that if you consider the possibility that Iger may have been looking at the long term interest of the company - you may not believe that, you may think that he took a shortcut by buying these IP's, but hear me out...

    Why All the Vitriol Against Disney?

    One could say that they took the Star Wars characters and license and turned around and made one of the best films in the series much in the same way they took a classic fairy tale and made it relevant to future generations. My point really is I still think the creativity is there, but so many...

    Why All the Vitriol Against Disney?

    I'm sorry, acquiring Star Wars, Marvel and Muppets as opposed to Snow White, Cinderella, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Winnie the Pooh, Mary Poppins...I could go on and on and on. What they do now isn't all that different then what they've done before.

    Why All the Vitriol Against Disney?

    I'm a huge fan of The Wizarding World over at Universal for sure. It's probably the best themed land in any theme park anywhere, but having just returned from both Universal and WDW, there are some glaring differences in the types of attractions. Essentially, just about every Universal...

    Why All the Vitriol Against Disney?

    We just returned from 6 days in WDW and have been going yearly for 13 years now. To me the place was just as magical, clean, friendly and awesome as it was the day I first walked in back in 2003. I realize that's not as long as some of you have been going, but it 's long enough and consistent...

    Can someone explain the Dolphin and Swan hotels?

    See if Disney is offering any room-only discounts when you're going. You might get lucky. We just paid less than $300 for The Yacht Club in July for midweek nights with a room-only discount direct from Disney. I want to say around $260-$270? That's so much more worth it than mid $200's for The...

    Is Be Our Guest REALLY worth it?

    We've only eaten lunch here. The nicest room to us was the west wing with the rose and the torn picture of the beasts former self. It's the most intimate.

    Can anyone else confirm that there are, in fact, no chip readers in the Iced Tea dispenser at other resorts besides the ones I mentioned? Just curious.

    I'm a sucker for the mugs. Buy one every trip. I don't drink soda or coffee, just iced tea. I have noticed there is no chip reader on the iced tea dispenser. Not at Beach Club market, Hanna's at Stormalong Bay, nor BoardWalk Bakery. Not sure about other resorts but that's three for three.

    The Official December 2007 Thread!!!

    I'm looking for the same answer and I can't seem to get one. I'll be arriving on the 30th and we always like to head to the MK on our first day. Unfortunately, Regis will be holding court on Main Street. HAs anybody experienced taping day in the park? Should I avoid the Kingdom on that day? Or...

    The Official December 2007 Thread!!!

    But should I go to the Christmas Parade taping??? I have no interest in the taping of the parade whatsoever, but will my day at the Magic Kingdom be seriously derailed because of the taping. We'll be there Friday 11/30 - 12/4, a quick trip to see as much Christmas decorations as we can. So...
