This one's in magic kingdom...

Sure, no argument there at all. Point is, this is something aimed at early-ish adopters as I just can't see most people laying out $150 for "merely a toy". I think mass relevance will come later once they find a more compelling "killer app" for their technology.

I played with one today at the store. Funny enough my local Disney store wasn't going to get one until late Sept, but the store across the way had a sign that said, "This IS the droid you're looking for". Anyway, @ULPO46 is right in that this is basically a $150 toy. It comes with a few...

No, the published price for adults is $23.99 and $12.99 for kids 3-9

Oh boy, tipping. If you want to show your appreciation for housekeeping, there's one thing I'd suggest: Hang your do not disturb sign, you're literally cutting them a bunch of slack as housekeeping have to average a certain number of minutes per room across a block of rooms. Every room that has...

Depends on how loosely you are willing to define "attraction that replaced it". My daughter made us take her on Snow White's Scary Adventures no less than 20 times during the course of one of our early visits. I really enjoyed that attraction. If you consider 7DMT it's spiritual successor, I...

You're right in that from what I understand, Walt placed a much lower priority on money and profits. It almost seemed like he made money only to fund his next big idea. However, keep in mind that attitude had the Disney company constantly teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. Disneyland was so far...

A complicated set of factors govern the decision of how far to go in any direction for an attraction. Organizations that tend to be uncompromising aren't generally too successful. Imagineering is no different. I'm sure we could get phenomenal designs that are amazing, but then it's hourly...

Yeah, that made me perk up too. Here's the menu from the Galactic Dine In Breakfast, seems pretty darned similar.

Thank you! We just nabbed an ADR for breakfast there. A full menu hasn't yet been posted but here's what's been announced so far: Puff Pastry filled with Scrambled Eggs, Crab, Asparagus and Gruyère Cheese with Roasted Tomatoes Grilled Beef Tenderloin on Baby Spinach, with Bacon and Cheddar...

During our trip (late August), MK was open to midnight each night. We experienced both an EMH and non-EMH night. To be honest, there wasn't a noticeable different in terms of crowd levels on those two nights (until well after midnight on EMH night). Our experience was that the park crowd levels...

Apparently cut for time so this didn't air?

You're very welcome! we just stayed at POFQ and loved it and I'm sure you'll have a great time. Make sure to get beignets from Floatworks (the onsite QS restaurant).

Of the places where we've stayed, it's Poly by a wide margin. I think it has the best theming of the three MK resorts, is within walking distance to TTC, and has Dole Whip.

I thought I'd throw our experience into the mix as well. We ordered a cake at Ohana and basically only requested "Haunted Mansion"-themed. As per others' experiences, no mention of the cake was made when we sat down and when our meal was done, the cake magically appeared to the surprise and...

The observation deck area can get crowded if you show up minutes before the show. Because the deck is pretty huge, it's conceivable that you'd have to stand behind other people who are right up against the rail. There's no real obstructions unless you count the monorail track although there does...

Definitely loved POFQ and would stay there again if we could. Here's a different thought: Not exactly a Disney moderate but have you considered staying at the Swan & Dolphin? Price-wise, I've found that it compares very favorably to deluxe resorts and depending on time of year, probably just a...

Ditto what @belledream said. The 4th floor lounge sometimes gets crowded. Another nice place is actually the bridge between Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower. You have nice unobstructed views and gives you an interesting perspective on just how far set back the fireworks are from the actual...

Pardon MY inability to scroll through 70+ pages of thread, but has it been announced what the refurb should bring in terms of changes? We were really disappointed that it wasn't open during our most recent summer visit (that indoor part of the queue is totally worth it when the heat index is 110).

There's a waterway that impedes progress from GF to MK. You can see it on the map here (the map should center on the waterway): http://bit.ly/WDWgfWalk The monorail has a high bridge but there's no pedestrian access. As for why, probably because behind that is storage for the electrical water...
