    Anyone ever use the babysitting service offered in WDW?

    We used Kids Nite Out on a last recent visit and it was fantastic. The sitter was professional, showed up with loads of activities to do if they stayed in the room, and was ready to work with whatever restrictions we left when my wife and I went out to dinner. When we came back to the room...

    Seven Seas expansion? Got a link to some info? Never heard of that gem.

    Seven Seas Lagoon History Help

    I was always aware of the planned, but never built resorts. My curiousity was more in whether that rectangle had sat dormant for all those years. As for Buffalo Junction, that one still hits the rumor mill every few years as the next resort. I'm personally surprised though that WDW has let...

    Here's more info. The 'hump' seen in the original photo just South of the rectangle from the late 1960's is clearly there, but as seen in this photo from 2010, you can only see a bare outline under the water. So did WDW let it sink due to a lack of need for it? Here is another satellite...

    Holy cow does that bring back memories. I seem to also recall a golf course nearby. And on my first visit, I was only 5 or 6. Thanks for the memory jump start. I would still like to know about the history of that rectangular peninsula. Cheers

    I agree. But did this always sit as a bare rectangular outcropping and I just don't recall it, or was it removed for a certain portion of time.

    This was most likely for the planned but never built 'Asian Hotel'. But I don't recall the rectangular outcropping being here by the 80's...

    Looking for a little help from the Disney-philes on the forum. The above picture is obviously from the construction of WDW. In the background is the Poly under construction. Here is my questions, though- What is the large rectangular out-cropping in the foreground? Is this where one of the...

    Ever found something at disney that really blew your mind?

    It's why that even with the threads on the Yeti, Disney Hyperion Wharf, rising ticket and room prices, Avatarland (sorry folks-I think it's a mistake), and the princess-ification of the Magic Kingdom, I still sigh when I arrive, go sit at my 'happy place' at the Wilderness Lodge, and sip a beer...

    Ever found something at disney that really blew your mind?

    The fact that WDW even exists. There is no way something like that could be built today. Think about it. You go to the shareholders and say 'what I'd like to do is buy 45 square miles of almost undevelopable swamp land, leverage the company into severe debt, terraform the land with non-native...

    Half of theme-park visitors ages 25-49 come without kids

    My wife and I both have a unique take on this one. Without going in to exhaustive details, this year I was terminated at my place of employment after having served with distinction for 18 years. My record showed nothing but strong performance, accoloades from my superiors, and nothing...

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    Don't forget hamburgers. The Brit seem to have the impression that as Americans we eat nothing but Hamburgers. :lol:

    Say.... What if Avatarland got cancelled?

    Fortunately, your troubles with my opinion matter not. And, actually, my opinion is worth noting for a very important reason - I never saw the films in theaters due to scheduling and lack of desire (better things at the time in cinema). The reviews I read of trusted reviewers and word of...
