    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    I hear what you're saying and don't disagree. Though I kind of consider a restaurant a different animal since there is a reservation system in place and has a relatively fixed turn around. People go, eat then leave. A resort lounge is completely walkup without necessarily the reliable...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    I was just reading up on Trader Sam's at Disneyland to get an idea of what's coming to the Poly. One thing that was mentioned was that there are often long lines just to get in. This raises an interesting, if not sticky question. If there is a line to get in, will Poly guests be given priority...

    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    Being on the outside of these companies all I can really do is take the piece for face value to form an opinion. I found myself wondering what can these companies do about it. Other than the CM from Port Orleans using his work computer for this stuff, I didn't see any reports of workplace...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    I actually took th. time to look this up. In the 2010 Florida building codes, section 502.1.1.1 table 2 states that skylights need to have an SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) of less than .19. That is the measure of how much solar energy penetrates the fixture. The higher the number, the more...

    Diagon full opening day

    Very true. Or at least letting people know up front when they get into the line for DA that the Gringotts line will be closing before they get there.

    Diagon full opening day

    It sounds like the wait to get into DA plus the wait for Gringotts exceeds park hours. I wonder if they are telling that to folks getting into line.

    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    From what I understand, due to a few cases reported of people being infected by an amoeba that can live in shallow, low current water, Florida passed a law that said if you were a for profit business operating a swimming facility, you needed to use chlorinated pools. I do believe this is why you...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    We all know the "we wanted to open up the lobby blah blah" reasons given by Disney is just a cover, or at least not the really for real reasons they are ripping it out. It sounds like we would at least like Disney to say "Look guys, we know you really liked it but we really couldn't keep it...

    The Poly Waterfall....Let's Talk About This

    I think we need to peel this issue off into its own thread. While the news of Trader Sam's and the name change seem to be positive, this is a decidedly different story worthy of being singled out. As a loooong time lurker (but infrequent poster), I have to say I have never seen the fan...

    FastPass+ open to all guests including offsite beginning next week at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    As someone who has rarely ever used FastPass, I am perplexed by something. It's the "I show up a rope drop to run to [insert popular attractions here] and get a FastPass" mentality, which seems to be the most disturbed by the MyMagic+ changes. The reason we have rarely used FastPass is that we...

    No fastpasses available today?

    My man you are wise beyond your years. In the pre-FastPass days, the only way to "beat the system" was to go to an attraction when the bodies were simply not there. In the FastPass era, that hasn't changed much. If the stand by bodies aren't there, neither are the FastPass bodies. Forget...

    No fastpasses available today?

    This is an interesting discussion but I am curious about something. I'm curious what the touring strategy is that would be so heavily dependent on FastPass? I know I'm probably old school but our family worked ours out in the pre-FastPass days and we rarely wait more than 20-25 minutes for...

    You Hate Everything About It, Yet You Still Go

    As a long time lurker on this board, this seemed like a good topic to finally make my first post on. Getting back to the original poster's question... To understand the point of view I am coming from, I have been making annual trips to Disney since 1982. Yes, I know alot of people who speak of...
