    It's a Small World inspired tableware

    They were available in several locations as of last month. I don't see them disappearing that quickly. I remember seeing them in the art of Disney store in Epcot. I know I saw them elsewhere, although I don't remember exactly where!

    DVC Beach Club for first timer!!

    We stayed with 5 at BCV this summer. Yes, you can do it (I was told they allow it for DVC but not for "regular" cash). No problems with getting DDP as long as everyone is listed on the reservation. The room is too small for a chair...but my kids are all young enough that they all shared the...

    For those worried about a sale of the Disney Parks...

    I can see selling a majority stake in the parks causing a huge political uproar if it's to a Middle Eastern shiek. Many of our politicians would not want to see such an American icon as Disney sold to a foreign company. There would probably be some hurdles in the way. Much easier to swallow if...

    Disappointing Price Increase & Takeaway - F&W

    My mom was interested in going there with a friend, but after I told her the price for a studio at Boardwalk or Beach Club she said she could take an all inclusive cruise for $1000 less. She cruises often so I believe her. That's sad.

    Old Key West drink stations

    Any info on where there are mug refill stations in OKW. I know there is one by the main pool, any others?

    Grand Gethering experiences to be discontinued

    And yet another virtually unused building will sit in Epcot waiting for one or two special events. Not a good trend, hope to see it reversed.

    Long park opening times of yesteryear

    It would be really nice if World Showcase was open till at least 10. In the summer the sun sets just before Illuminations and by the time it's over all of the world is closed. You feel like there is little time to enjoy the peace and quiet among the lighting. It's a disappointment.

    Credit card charges vs Dining credit charges

    Yes to both...[I]usually[I] your kttw card identifies if you have a dining plan. On occasion (such as our most recent trip when we split our stay between three different DVC properties) it might not say dining plan. We had dining on just a few days as is also possible when staying on points...

    Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin, boat or bus!??

    I would avoid a bus from these resorts like the plague!!!! We found them SO over crowded it was almost scary. People were getting down right irate when they wouldn't fit...some even banging on the back door trying to beat the front door entries. For the added inconvenience, I would go...

    Stuck in Teal

    I have been urging people not to stay at the monorail resorts for about a year now. The reliability of the monorails is pathetic and the alternative methods to get back and forth are not worth the extra price. Epcot resorts are the way to go right now.

    New Magic Your Way ticket upgrade policy

    Just curious what others may know on this...what if you have a one day ticket, use it to enter the park, go directly to guest services to upgrade/add days? Is that considered a "used up" ticket? Or is that legit because it is you on the one and only day available? Or do you need to upgrade...

    Special offers and deals

    You can book dining on-line without any sort of room reservations. When you do this, it has no impact on whether you have (or will have) the dining plan. You can still use DP with on-line reservations or if you do not get the meal plan, you can pay cash for those meals. The 180 day mark is...

    Magic...it seems to be slipping...

    Hiring a CM from a specific country to help out large parties touring the parks proves nothing but the fact that Disney wants to continue to be a destination resort for those tour groups. It says nothing about a problem with those groups. They are very large and they don't speak our language, so...

    Magic...it seems to be slipping...

    There were about 15 huge tour groups from Brazil there last week. We saw very few problems with them, biggest issue is that they tend to block paths while standing around waiting to get together. Only thing I dont like about them is if you get behind one in line expect your wait to go up by...

    Magic...it seems to be slipping...

    I would rather have them fix parts of rides while leaving the ride operating then shutting them down for a month or more to fix them. I just got back on Monday and several things were being fixed on different rides, but at least I could still enjoy the ride. Splash has many things being fixed...

    DDP when staying at DVC villas?

    We are fairly new DVCers (coming up on 1 year of ownership). I learned that you can book a stay in segments which will allow you to add DDP to just parts of your trip. So, for example...we are leaving this Saturday. We have Saturday night booked at AKL with Quick serve dining. We re-check in...

    Interesting rumors about marvel in dl & wdw

    I have a feeling that Marvel is the reason that the shiek or king or whatever he is visited the parks a week or so ago. I could see Disney working with him to get a Marvel park built in another country. It had been planned for Dubai so there must be a good bit of interest for a theme park over...

    Monorails to no longer operate during Evening Extra Magic Hours

    Ever since someone fell asleep on the job the monorails have gone downhill. Sorry, but it was human error that caused that accident, nothing else. As far as the monorail goes, perhaps they will consider using a type of tram service that frequents all of the deluxes on the monorail line. It...

    Mountains fixed?

    Sounds like some safety cables or chains with some slack to allow movement but prevent the rocks from ever falling away from the mountain would be an easy fix. Kind of like a backup parachute. OOOPS! First one didn't work quite right. Good thing we have a backup plan. Considering it's rather...

    Epcot Guide to Drinking Around the World!

    Do not try the El Sol beer in Mexico. I'm adventurous so I like to try different and unusual beers, but El Sol is terrible even with a slice of lime. The tequila bar has 2 or three other beers available also but I imagine they are all pretty bad. Negra Modelo is the only Mexican beer worth...
