    Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom?

    For us AK is a 3-day park, animal lovers that we are. Our last two trips we split resort stays and moved to AKL just to immerse ourselves for the AK portion of our stay. Beyond the animals and theming, we feel more relaxed there than in any other park, with less of a sense of pressure to hit...

    Or when you're behind 45 Brazilians.

    2014 WDW Planning DVD Is "Out"

    Exactly. Or failing that, having a bratty 10-year-old there to tell his father how to operate the TV / the car controls / or what kind of fast food he must have at that moment.

    I'm breaking ranks and going West

    Thanks! We've studied-up, have both Birnbaum's and the Unofficial Guide, and have subscribed to Touring Plans. All of that said, what I still don't fully understand is what I've seen referred to as the "wide right" technique for getting FastPasses for Radiator Springs Racers at rope drop in the...

    I'm breaking ranks and going West

    Us, too. We were last at WDW in 2011, and our visit cycle was coming due. But in the face of "Magic Your Way," the Magic Bands, "FastPass+," the de facto rationing of E-ticket rides under the new system, the fact that navigating the new system tethers one to your smartphone in the park, the...

    So you always need to have your smart phone with you?

    A number of posters have remarked that when there have been issues with FP+, they have called up My Disney Experience on a smart phone to prove what the original reservation or whatever was. So is this basically saying that one always needs to have their smart phone with them now as back-up? I...

    WDW selling broken pieces of SpectroMagic as a pin

    Now if only they would come up with a pin housing a piece of the BAH ... that would truly be worth it.

    New Planning DVD Release Date?

    I would assume they are exploring digital downloading to save all those distribution costs - thus solving the U.K. Issue at the same time.

    Part of Sid Cahuenga's at Disney's Hollywood Studios to become a MyMagic+ service center

    While you're jumping around in that time machine, please go back and keep Frank Wells from getting on that helicopter.....

    Part of Sid Cahuenga's at Disney's Hollywood Studios to become a MyMagic+ service center

    Yeah. Remember that old line from Vietnam: "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." It seems clear that in order to "save" this 1-2 billion dollar boondoggle that is MYW and FP+, the clueless suits will gut, bulldoze, and destroy anything in their path, any theming, atmosphere...

    Disney resort hotels

    Surely you mean a "P" ticket.

    FastPass+ Too Much Planning?

    Count me as a big skeptic too. Deeply resent the ride planning and tethering to an iDevice that I'd prefer to leave behind. That said, they really need to rethink the daily limit of 3, and making FP+ work for park hopping.

    Disney resort hotels

    Yes, and you can only use the bed 3 times in any 24-hour period. Going to bed before midnight and getting-up in the morning will count as 2..........

    Yikes! Giant spider at AKL! Tell me it's plastic!

    Was the spider in "A mode" or "B mode?" Was there disco lighting nearby?

    Fantasmic! joins the FastPass+ line-up from tonight (August 30 2013)

    It wasn't the dining as such that I was asking about -- it was the show seating AFTER the dining, which is why I wondered if it required the "using up" of a precious FP+ despite the fact that a reserved section at Fantasmic is already allocated to dining package guests.

    Fantasmic! joins the FastPass+ line-up from tonight (August 30 2013)

    So much about FP+ still puzzles me. So concerning the addition of Fantasmic: Does this mean that someone booking the Fantasmic Dinner Package with, say, Brown Derby, also uses up one of their 3 FP+ allotments in doing so? Or does the fact that there is (was?) that reserved seating section for...

    Kind of stupid FastPass+ question

    1.5 per day? Hard to believe a CM could say that with a straight face. And 3 isn't enough, either. Soooo hoping that this number will increase by way of resort incentives or other packages.

    Is a sports-themed park a possibility?

    If they built this, maybe instead of a Magic Band, they'd have a Magic Jockstrap!
