    Fireworks at Downtown Disney?

    That direction is Hollywood Studios. You were probably seeing the tail end of a Fantasmic performance. We have often seen Fantasmic fireworks while walking around the Epcot/Boardwalk area at night.

    Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge

    We went once for dinner, and waited 20 minutes to be seated. After being seated, we waited an additional 15 minutes for a server to show up - but no one ever came to serve us so we left and went elsewhere. IMO, totally not worth it!!!

    Trip package booking strategy

    We book almost a year in advance for every trip, so I can't imagine waiting until 6 months!! Worst case scenario, we have to cancel or move a ressie; we've moved dates six or seven times, cancelled *maybe* twice. I think planning ahead and making room+dining ressies early is the only way to go.

    weird question???

    We stayed in a BCV Studio in 2009 and a BCV 1BR in 2010. Both had flat screen TVs, if that's what you mean by plasma.

    Upgrade at Beach club

    About 80% of the visitors at WDW are celebrating a birthday on any given day. They can give you a button to wear, but that's about it.

    Need help choosing an Epcot Dinner

    Via Napoli - the new Italian restaurant - is great and the atmosphere is charming. I like it a lot more than Coral Reef.

    Eating and Parking at the contemporary

    It's not a theory, it's a fact, the answer is no. The lot has a sign that clearly states "We can not provide Theme Park parking". When we were staying at the CR, we watched as they towed several cars out - don't think it doesn't happen just because it never happened to you! They're actually...

    Tropical Storm PHILIPPE Public Advisory Number 58

    These worthless storm "updates" completely fill the RSS feed and make it a waste of time. Which means your site loses traffic. Why do you let this go on?

    Raglan vs Cookes?

    The food isn't even similar, much less identical, IMO. Read the menus and you'll see. Raglan is worth a visit, Cooke's is not, unless you're in a gosh aweful hurry.

    2 hour Parking Pass for ADRs at Epcot Resorts During Food and Wine?

    The last time we tried to park at Boardwalk for dining, during Food & Wine, we were turned away! Told we couldn't park there at all and that we had to take Disney transportation. That was last year or year before. They had a new sign out by the gate that said parking was for guests of the...

    Annual Passholder - Resort Booking

    It sounds like you're using the regular booking page. You have to go to the "Passholder Offers" page under the Passholder home and select the special offer for your time range, and then book through that special offer page. I don't think January rates are out, though.

    M&G for Disney Visa cardholders

    It doesn't cost anything, free 5x7. But yes you do have to show your card before entering.

    Analyst: Bookings soft at Disney World's moderate and deluxe resorts

    You get what you pay for. To me the values feel like Day's Inn. The moderates and deluxes are a million times nicer and worth it, IMO. So I'll continue to boost Disney's bottom line by staying deluxe.

    Why is the Grand Californian so expensive?

    $700 for 6 nights - that would be at one of the value resorts, which are like Days Inn (IMO). The Grand Californian is a deluxe, which is like, well, DELUXE. You can't compare the two.

    Abbreviations

    The really bad part is that a lot of bad spellers/typists use acronyms that are non-existent! Like PORQ or THM or IASM. Or they throw in some Universal acronyms in a Disneyworld forum. Arrrgggghhh.

    Animal Kingdom Villas- Value Accomodation vs. Standard View

    The values are smaller. The are only in Jambo House; they were converted from resort rooms. Kidani has no value accomodations. The value view can be either pool view or savanna (no point different between views). We stayed in a value 1BR last January. We had a great savannah view. The...

    Rooms with a Whirlpool

    Are you talking about an outdoor hot tub or a whirlpool bathtub in the room? Most deluxe resorts (except the Poly) have hot tubs near the main pool. Only DVC villas have whirlpool baths.

    Chef Mickey's walk-in?

    If you are willing to be completely disappointed when they instantly respond that there are no walk-ins available!! Have a backup plan because you will need it.
