    Yes the wand was still in place, in fact when we went back after they took it down my DW and DS were upset, they liked it.

    Trip Report The Perfect Trip

    With the world, both Disney and the real world, shutdown. I have had a lot of time to think and reminisce. I thought I would relive old memories and write a very delinquent trip report. My family, DW, DS and myself, have been to WDW many times. I believe our best trip ever was when son our was...

    Worth the hype?/Unpopular Opinion

    Disappointing restaurants for us were Le Cellier, I don’t know what the fuss was about. The cheese soup was the best part of the meal, the steak was only so-so at best. Artist Point, before the character meal, first visit - severer was rude, children running around the restaurant unsupervised...

    What is your "Getaway" spot at the Parks?

    The lobby of my resort. Grand Floridian, wilderness lodge, Polynesian etc. I love to sit there in the morning with my coffee watching people while waiting for my DW to get up and get going.

    Let’s all take a moment... (Positive thread)

    Funny I was thinking about things like this yesterday. My DS came home from college yesterday due to the virus, everything on hold for awhile, he is scheduled to graduate in May. I watched him walk up to the front door and remembered him 5 years old walking up Main street USA, holding my hand...

    PDD

    It hits me when I get to my home airport. I have to drag our bags off the carousel and find our ride home. It's like a hit in the head that my vacation is over.

    Ever had an accident at WDW?

    Many years ago, I sliced my hand on a metal soap dispenser in the Men’s room near Roaring Forks in the Wilderness Lodge. I went to get soap and caught my left hand on a sharp edge. No stitches but it took a long time to heal and I have a nice scar as a souvenir.

    Best Caricature Artist

    I don't know if he is there anymore, but the artist in the Polynesian did a great caricature of my son at age 12. I still have it in my office 10 years later. That said, I just realized it's been 10 years since we last stayed at the Poly.

    Ideas for a new Iconic Deluxe Hotel

    How about a resort themed after the Carrousel of Progress with 4 wings, 1900, 1920, 1940 and 21st century. Décor represents the time frames. Candle stick telephones, bear claw bath tubs, 4 poster beds box and chain toilets and of course all the modern stuff. You could have a restaurant that...

    Resort Help Please!

    My DS always loved the Contemporary because of the monorail, the walk to Magic Kingdom, Chef Mickey’s etc. that would be my first choice. If however proximity to MK is not the biggest factor another resort to consider is Animal Kingdom Lodge. Many think it is “way out there.” It has unique...

    Souvenir suggestion for CoWorkers?

    A co-worker knew I was a big Disney fan. She asked me lots of questions and for advice before her trip. When she got back she brought me a Mickey mouse key ring as a keepsake to say thanks. It was nothing big or expensive but I still have my keys on it 10 years later. She thought enough of me to...

    What is your favorite WDW Restaurant ?

    Whispering Canyon for all the craziness, however we haven't been there in awhile and have heard it has been toned down. California grill has always been our go to restaurant for birthdays etc. Lots of good memories there.

    Thoughts on The Plaza?

    We liked it for a burger and a shake. DW and I agree it got to "foo-foo" for our tastes. IMHO there are better places for breakfast, e.g. Kona Cafe or Grand Floridian Cafe close enough so we have not been there for breakfast.
