    DVC Member Website Down

    Sometimes if I'm logged into another Disney website, I have to log out and then log in dvcmember as usual. Something to try too?

    DHS CARS LAND

    Though they should just call it what it really is: Cranium Command, which in turn would help reopen Wonders of Life, not Imagination. ;)

    DHS CARS LAND

    I'm a teacher, so I know the locked vacation times all too well. It's the desire (or time) to check religiously the airline fares for the low rates. And once our son is old enough that we have to pay for his own airline seat, we'll probably drive to FL again too, but save Frequent Flier miles...

    DHS CARS LAND

    I fly from JFK to LAX for about the same I fly Southwest to Orlando, maybe a little more, but nothing exorbitant. Just have to keep watching. Virgin America is the one I keep coming back to. And with the bus transportation in WDW, I would rather rent a car anyway than deal with that mess...

    PHOTO - Concept art of Ariel's Grotto meet and greet in the new Fantasyland

    She looks to me like she's had a bit of work done too - like a red headed Joan Rivers.

    Allowing all guests staying at Bay Lake Tower access to the Top Of The World lounge

    We were there last week. We went after dinner (around 8PM) to check out the view. There were maybe 4 people there before we came in. While we didn't stay for Wishes (wound up with a room view that we could see the fireworks from our room and we wanted to watch the Electrical Water Pageant from...

    Rapunzels bathroom renderings?

    Yes. That one was already there and modified to become Rapunzel's tower.

    Disney's Contemporary Resort Contempo Cafe currently closed for refurbishment

    I wonder if it has to do with the huge flood that happened a week or 2 ago. We were there this weekend (Thurs-Monday) and everything seemed fine, but the ceiling definitely was a temporary solution.

    Magic Kingdom evening Extra Magic Hours attraction line-up to change next week

    Backlot express long wait times

    Actually, I noticed quite a few times when we had to wait for what seemed an inordinate amount of time for our food. Not that we waited 90 minutes at Backlot Express, so don't question our intelligence! ;) but I don't know if the CP training slowed things down but I can think of at least 3-4...

    Backlot express long wait times

    We ate there over the weekend. I was wondering why it took so long to get our order. It was a nightmare!

    DVC Problems?: Chicago/NYC Sales Office to Close

    The New York one is actually on Long Island, not New York City, but in an affluent area in the busiest mall on Long Island. I'm sure New York seemed like a prime location for a DVC store, as it always seems we're talking to people who travel to WDW, but after the initial excitement and burst of...

    Disney(World) vs. Disney(land)?

    Exactly what I said to my wife when I read that. We haven't been to WDW since 10/2010 and are going next week. Yet, I can't think of anything new additions. On the other hand, we've been to Disneyland 3-4 times between the 2 Disney trips, and there have been significant additions each time...

    Disney(World) vs. Disney(land)?

    With the D23 Expo next year, makes you wonder if they'll hold their cards close to their chest until then, or announce to draw more people to come to the Expo to see the concept art and models.

    Thanks '74. Haven't been posting much, but have definitely been around. ;)

    Disney(World) vs. Disney(land)?

    Big, spirited change! ;) Wonderful news! This is what we've been waiting for, literally for years. Hopefully the cost cutting will be scaled back (not temporary, since we all know what Disney defines as temporary) and new and wonderful ideas emerge. RSR or not, anything big at the Studios (or...

    Downtown Disney update

    I figured as much. I just thought I would pass the info along and let people with more insider knowledge dissect/confirm/deny.
