    What is your Favorite Disney Restaurant to dine at on the last night of your trip?

    We have started having our last night dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse. By that time we are all parked out and want a nice dinner before we head home.

    Most treasured Disney Souvenir?

    We have a small collection of about 5-6 Mickey & Minnie bride and groom figurines we have picked up through the years. My wife bought me a Mickey watch I had my eye on for several years at WoD the year I made goal with Weight Watchers.

    Theme Park Game Changers

    What about the random drop sequences at ToT?? You never get the same experience twice. This has carried over to Star Tours, although the combinations there are limited.

    I am sooooooo glad I moved my reservation to POR for December. After seeing the dining options - no way $75/night would make it worth it. We actually use the food court for several meals (mostly breakfast). We would go to OPR at least once a day. What they are offering? Yick. Keeping an open...

    Nope. Glad I changed. If I am going to pay full price, I want a fully functional resort. When they re-did the main pool several years ago I was fine with it because they had the other pools available. This - complete upheaval of services and amenities. Sorry - food trucks do not do it for me. My...

    News Caribbean Beach Expansion

    Key word there is "might". According to the one drawing I saw, there will be significant destruction and construction over there. Maybe by February they would have some semblance of something, but by our trip in December I am not taking the chance. We moved to POR.

    This kind of clinches it for us moving our December trip. I cannot think they will be done with everything by then. I wouldn't mind being there when they are working on the new buildings as long as the OPR area is done. Always did want to try POR.

    Funny DW stories you'd like to share?

    Wife and I were in Tomorrowland. I went to go get a couple FP for Buzz while she headed over to CoP. She entered the ride thinking I would be right behind her. Imagine her surprise when they closed the door and she rode it solo!! I had a brief panic when I couldn't find her and wouldn't believe...

    Things you do leading up to trip

    Bounce back is an offer you receive while you are at WDW on your current trip to get you to book your NEXT trip. The catch is it is only good while you are still on your existing reservation. If you know you will be coming back, and you know when, it's a great way to lock in a good rate without...

    Favorite non-park thing to do

    Golfing. Or at least what i call it :P. I have also found sitting on one of CBR's beaches reading a book to be quite relaxing.

    What makes you tear up/cry in the parks?

    The old ME video they showed on the way back to MCO. Every time they hit the 'M-I-C' bit, I would lose it. EPCOT used to have Cast In Bronze perform during Christmas. CiB is a carillion musical band. I caught one of their shows and thought it would be really cool to hear 'Carol of the Bells' on...

    Caribbean Beach Resort: Park Buses - Which Depot is Best?

    The only bus that now starts in Martinique is Disney Springs. All the Parks buses start in Jamaica now. Every so often, depending on traffic, a returning bus late at night will go in the front door, but they have changed the bus routes so they all come and go in the back door. That said...
