    Wilderness Lodge or Wilderness Lodge Cabins?

    We've never stayed at a Magic Kingdom resort before, but was considering it for next year. For those who have stayed at Wilderness Lodge, what are the main differences between the Lodge and the Cabins? What I'm really interested in learning is how long is the walk from a cabin to the main lodge...

    When does Xmas decor go up each year?

    After reading so many trip reports about the fabulous Disney Christmas decorations throughout the parks and hotels, it inspires me to plan for next year. Does anyone know when (around which week) Disney replaces fall for Christmas decor? Does it happen all in unison or is it done in stages? Just...

    EPCOT; Tutto Italia or San Angel Inn?

    After a disappointing meal at San Angel Inn several years ago, my husband and I tried it again and were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the filet and it was absolutely delicious. It was one of our favorite meals - even taking the Signature restaurants into account. As others have mentioned, the...

    I'd like to see more around the World Showcase, in particular.

    Anyone Know What Concrete Is Used at Magic Kingdom?

    On a behind the scenes Epcot tour, our guide said gunite was used to build pretty much everything we see.

    More PhotoPass photographers needed in new locations

    Some of my favorite family photos were captured by Disney PhotoPass photographers! But, after multiple trips, it would be nice to get some shots in different locations. We've posed in front of the castle, TOT, Tree of Life, Spaceship Earth, etc. Has anyone heard if WDW is considering this? Why...

    First stay at Beach Club - room location preference?

    My husband and I are heading to WDW for the Food and Wine Festival next month. We've stayed at Boardwalk, but wanted to give Beach Club a try. For those who've stayed at Beach Club, what do you recommend for a room preference? We won't be spending any time at the pools, but want easy access to...

    Carnival-style games at DW

    What are your thoughts on carnival-style games at Disney World - maybe in Dinoland at AK? Lots of people like to play the games, but don't necessarily enjoy the "fair" atmosphere of short-term carnivals. Not to mention the perception that most (if not all) games are rigged at these events...

    Can not update room preference...

    I'm having the same issue - nothing to select in the drop down menu.

    What did you love and hate about Pop Century?

    We were at Pop in February, our first stay at a Value Resort. We were in a Preferred room (top floor) in the 70s building, so it wasn't a long walk to the front desk/gift shop. However, the room was tiny! Luckily, it was only my husband and I and not our family of four. We kept the Murphy bed up...

    MK Park hours in September

    I noticed that on some days in Sept, MK closes at 6pm. Isn't that a bit early, especially if you're wanting to eat dinner at the park? Any chance Disney will extend hours?

    Adults with no kids character dining?

    Is it best to purchase the Memory Maker for photos at character experiences? We've never done a character spot visit or character meal, but are thinking about it. Just didn't know if the Memory Maker is a "must have" at either meals or the meet and greet park locations.

    Where in WDW is your “happy place”?

    Resort: Sitting in a rocking chair on The Boardwalk porch admiring the views of the lake and people watching MK: Like many others, hearing the music as you enter Space Mountain - brings back childhood memories of the early 80s, the atmosphere and architecture of Liberty Square Epcot: World...

    Biggest Regret at WDW Restaurant...

    Biggest disappointment was The Brown Derby with its being a Signature restaurant - was not worth it. Both food and service were mediocre at best. Another place I wonder about is Trattoria al Forno on the Boardwalk. When my family of four dined there last June, one of the servers told us that it...

    Increased foot traffic at Epcot's International Gate...

    Is anyone else concerned about the future crowds at Epcot's International Gate? What was once a laid-back, sparsely-populated entrance (during most times) may soon be much more crowded with the gondola's dropping off guests. Think all of the increased foot traffic will affect the Boardwalk or...

    Possible Free Dining Fall 2018 Dates Announced

    If I already have trip booked that lands during Free Dining, will I be able to add it to my existing reservation? (Provided my reservation meets all requirements)

    Possible Free Dining Fall 2018 Dates Announced

    Does anyone know how Disney determines which resorts to exclude? It seems like Port Orleans is a favorite target. And, I'm also disappointed about Wilderness Lodge. Do these typically fill up without incentives?

    Coronado Springs thoughts

    My family is a fan of Coronado. We stayed there in June 2015 and will be returning in May. The lakeside bar was nice, plus we enjoyed the food court area - atmosphere is fun. Coronado and Port Orleans French Quarter are our two favorite Moderate resorts. (family of 4 - two teenagers)
