    Pandora

    Based on the lines just to get into Pandora, I am fretting even going in June. I heard the line just to get in to Pandora looped from Pandora entrance towards the front of the park and then back to Pandora. This was just to enter the land. I am expecting it to be horrible experience until it...

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    OK, I don't like using giant photos, but this is the next big milestone.

    What can I expect for a Feb '18 discount? & your thoughts on something else

    I would never do 4 adults in a studio. Hard enough with 2 adults and a child. I did not look up prices on tickets, but it would be about $300 each person for Disney and Universal tickets. The DDP is another $420 (for 2 people for 3 nights). They are at about $1,000 before lodging. If you assume...

    Tipping at the poolside bar...

    There is no fact for tipping. I will guarantee you I am not tipping 15% on a $7 beer. That takes less than 2 seconds to twist the cap off. I will tip 15% on the $1 beer they charge $7 for.

    Travel Camera

    I have tried to take fireworks photos. I have thought long and hard about it. In order to do it, you need all the gear: good DLSR, the right lens, tripod, remote shutter release, etc. From there, you need space and hope someone doesn't get in the way. Then, you need practice and lots of it. On a...

    Travel Camera

    I want to look at them. As long as they take Full HD video, have some range, and can produce decent pictures, it will be a good fit. I need to look at some models at stores around here. I will take a look at some of the online reviews as well. I am not a Sony guy. After a fiasco with them on the...

    Travel Camera

    I have not really used the TG4 for anything more than pictures at our pool. I bought it specifically for going on a Disney Cruise to use at Castaway Cay. I will test it out more for general photos. I am looking for something that is about 10x zoom and takes better than cellphone pictures. People...

    Travel Camera

    Each camera I have serves its own purpose. Some were bought as toys and others for a specific purpose. DSLR: For all my "great" photos. I should call them pictures because I am not a photographer. GoPro -clone: Its better than a GoPro, about 15% of the price, and worth every bit what I paid...

    Travel Camera

    I don't really have a travel camera. Below is what I have and I am looking for something to take more of the walking around, spur of moment photos. Having the travel zoom I think would be perfect for Disney. I know my DSLR was great, but at 10-15Lbs with everything, it gets old quickly...

    Travel Camera

    I have taken my big DSLR and lenses to WDW on many trips. I have come to the conclusion that I am not doing that again. My DSLR will mostly be used for vacations where I have time to really setup a photo or my DD's sports. I am tired of lugging around the bulk. With that being said, I am...

    Port Orleans Riverside Full Tour and Overview May 2017 in 4K

    I have to admit I did not watch your entire video. I will. Right at the beginning, seeing Birdie at the front door almost made me tear up a little. Birdie was the highlight of my DD's trip. The first morning we went to the lobby. It was just DD and I. I sat her down in the lobby while I went to...

    Tipping at the poolside bar...

    Tipping for drinks in the US is standard. However, tipping 15-20% is ridiculous. A beer is $7. I am not tipping $1 for them to open the twist top on the alumibottle. I run a tab. If we have 4-6 drinks, we will tip $2-$3. After that first $7 for a beer though, buying an 8-pack at the gas station...

    AKL - What are your likes?

    We only stayed at Jambo House. As you walk in, the smell from the fireplace is intoxicating. It lets you know you are home. From there, you have the Savannah. For us, it is too expensive to stay on a Savannah now. We would stay in the cheapest rooms. You can always go out to and watch them from...

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    If I have my way, we will be arriving at WBC right about now. I am not sure the DW and DD will agree to get on the road at 5AM.

    orange lake resort, FL

    Its hard to find consistent information on this resort. I will be there in 4 weeks. I cannot wait. We are done with the 100% Disney vacations. We buy APs so we can take multiple trips down which saves money. It allows us to stay offsite to save a ton. We have 1 week booked in a 1BR at WBC (06/17...

    Would Disney ever put a ride at a resort?

    The answer would be no. The reason is the ride would have to be open to anyone with a park ticket. Imagine a resort getting slammed with 5,000 people trying to get to a ride. As an example, the Poly already has 2 rides...monorail and boat. I do see WDW making a change in the coming years as...

    [speculation] Guardians of the Galaxy 4D show at Imagination?

    I only see Marvel going to DHS. It does not fit at any of the other parks.

    Can't wait for December

    AKL is about the best place to stay if you are on that main Savannah. We honeymooned there and it blew us away. We didn't pay close to that because of Disney's fault. Still an amazing time there.

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    I won't have to worry about the last few days of work before I go. Work has to go with me. Easier to do 30 minutes here or there than get stuck missing the trip.
