    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    I don't get your point. There is a BIG difference between a completely artificially created landscape, created for amusement only (and not as a wildlife refuge) and natural waterbodies like lakes and swamps. Seven Seas Lagoon was created when they excavated soil for the mound MK was built on. It...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    Terrible and it strenghtens my opinion even more: WHY do the waterbodies in the park areas like Seven Seas Lagoon have to be open to wildlife? Why don't they make them the way they once were in the early 70ies ? Biological dead as a swimming pool but crystal clear and safe? I don't see the...

    Orlando shootings and the parks

    I hope they will do everything possible to make WDW as safe as possible, especially of course after the islamist massacre in Orlando. Since the mass invasion of so-called muslim "refugees" began last year, crime, especially sexual crimes, has skyrocketed in Germany and many Germans, especially...

    Mosquitos!! Was Pest control part of the cuts?

    As they already cut down on the AC in 2012 (I find it untolerable hot in many restaurants and shops during the hot months since they did that! ) I wouldn't be surprised if they also cut down on pest control by now, frankly I am convinced that TDO couldn't care less for guest comfort today if...

    Thanks a lot lemon meringue, you were a great help for us. We were especially concerned about the possibility of Stormalong Bay being partially closed. Enjoy your stay there in July.

    Present refurb of Yacht Club: How much is it?

    We are just planning a possible long trip to the World in September (stay at least 10 days) and are also planning a stay in the Yacht Club. As the YC is at the moment undergoing a refurb we need to know how much are they doing, can it influence in a negative way a stay there, does it include for...

    What WDW resort would you never stay at and why?

    I will never ever stay again at the Poly. I actually loved it when I stayed there, I adored especially the lobby which even topped the Wilderness Lodges cavernous lobby (stayed there as well) as the best lobby in a Disney resort...and they destroyed it. The present lobby is an insult to all the...

    DAK AVATAR land - the specifics

    Well perhaps the sequels will be able to finally create something even remotely like a Avatar "cult", because so far the pop cultural impact and footprint of the first (and so far still only) movie was and is near zero, especially compared to Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter or some of...

    Need help for our WDW-Pop Century Nostalgia dinner

    We are planning a little WDW-Pop Century Nostalgia Dinner this evening as this is the fourth year since our last stay at WDW (and DLP is NO equivalent substitute) :( with beverages from the old refillable mugs and food similar to the one we ate at the foodcourt of the Pop (and WDW trip movies on...

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Honestly does every single discussion about a major project like SWL have to take place in this single thread, even after some important news about the possible location of the land have been given out? Wouldn't that at least make a new thread about the topic "SWL not where we expected it" or a...

    New entertainment coming to Germany?

    The stringed instrument placed on a table seen in the two lower pictures is a Zither, one of the most common and traditional instruments in German folk music, which was and is used not only in Bavaria but throughout all more mountainous regions in Germany (which are not only in the south), like...

    New entertainment coming to Germany?

    Well it`s obviously nothing really spectacular although I am already grateful for anything that happens in "our" pavilion as so far it is still a major disappointment without any attraction since the opening. I know some consider the model train a minor attraction but to be honest, the model...

    Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

    That must have been the funniest post I read here for a looong time, I laughed so hard I broke my furniture. You are definitely strong with the force (of laughing). :);):D

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Do you know already any details about the planned differences between both lands Marni? Do you know e.g. if the DLR oder DHS version will be larger than vice versa?

    Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

    Sorry TEL; I normally share your opinion but in this case I think the decision to use the former animation attraction was right, it never was exactly a blast anyway and I have to confess as a Star Wars geek I am grateful for any SW-related changes that are done well before the construction of...

    Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

    Not exactly sad about the decision, at least in the videos I saw so far of the Darth Vader M+G ist was not exactly impressive, more the contrary.

    Crowd level this February?

    I didn't write "no waits" but she only visited WDW in the FP-era (I know how it was before FP) on very low attendance weeks, so waits of 20-30 minutes were the maximum and very rare. We just want to know if the lines, crowds etc. will be on the more busy days of February as bad as on peak days...

    Crowd level this February?

    Thanks a lot to all of you for your advice and informations, although they quite shattered our plans as my GF has a very low tolerance to long waits and huge crowds (she knows the parks mostly from visits in September when many rides are nearly walk-ons). What about the last week? From 22nd to...

    Crowd level this February?

    We are thinking about a trip to the World in the midst of February, around 17th to at least 25th, to celebrate my GFs birthday (18th) at WDW. We have absolutely no experience with winter trips to WDW so we appreciate any information concerning the expected crowd levels in 2nd half of February...

    Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

    I haven't been there since it opened but I watched videos at Youtube and at least the M+G Darth Vader I saw in the video was ABYSMAL! Never saw so such an unconvincing Darth Vader at any commercial show and I am not only talking about the costume. Far too small, far too slim, you cannot put an...
