    Coming in 2018: The Year of Pixar

    So what exactly is replacing Bugs Land? Is it just getting rethemed? There was A LOT of traffic through there because of Guardians being so long in wait times and people milling around waiting for FastPasses, etc. I haven't seen that many people there since it opened, Lol.

    Non-Disney hotel advice for August trip

    Personally we live by The Candy Cane Inn which is located behind DCA (you can see the Guardians tower from the lobby and "walk past it" while you head to the parks. It's about a 6 minute walk but the prices are fairly cheap about $160 a night but we get a discount for having Disney APs, they...

    Additional Disney FASTPASS Locations and New Disney MaxPass Coming to Disneyland Resort

    I've been on Toy Story Mania pre and post FP. Before FP there were many times where the ride waits were 60-90 minutes (although as a teacher I can only go during busy times like Summer and Christmas) - Post FP on this most recent trip where it was really busy the average wait time was about 50...

    Additional Disney FASTPASS Locations and New Disney MaxPass Coming to Disneyland Resort

    I just came back from DLR, interestingly with a group of friends who had just come back from WDW a few months ago, and saw some of the FastPass changes already going. I apologize if this has been discussed already - They have the magic band readers already installed on the rides with FP, you...

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Actually TIEs and X-Wing spinners where it looks like they're chasing each other is kind of charming when you think about it. Lol.

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This makes sense with the rumors of Innoventions being completely rethemed into Stark Industries and a full Marvel shop chi I would assume would go where Star Traders would go? This is amazingly exciting for me. Star Wars was everything for me as a kid and I grew up in the tail-end of the...

    Help getting to the parks from PO Riverside

    Thanks for linking this. I always forget just how far things are from one another, it's nice site to bookmark and take into account while planning.

    How do you kep your stroller from being stolen?

    We've had balloons ripped off of our strollers, even had a bottle of soda taken off of it while on rides so we usually brought cheap umbrella strollers because we feared eventually someone would run off on it. This last trip (to DL) we brought our Sit and Stand and not a soul touched it, even in...

    New Credit Card Security Check

    Anything that keeps me and my money safer while I'm across the country on vacation is fine with me. Whether I'm responsible for a small amount or not, anything that they can do to avoid the hassle is greatly appreciated.

    Port Orleans French Quarter vs. Riverside

    So if I understand these posts correctly it seems like POR is more kid oriented with the food courts and themed pool and in return has a few hiccups with the busses because of the numerous stops due to size and POFQ is more adult oriented with it being smaller, overall quieter and more intimate...

    Awesome, one less thing to plan and if they can book it through the wristband…well there you go.

    My magic+ testing report

    In talking this over with my wife one thing she brought up (which I'm sure has been brought up before) is the logistics of having two young kids needing these. I'm sure getting them to wear them won't be an issue especially when you can upgrade them to princesses or whatever but I have a feeling...

    My magic+ testing report

    I didn't even think of that. We usually blow through our cell batteries by midday with our little ones, I can't imagine how it'd be on their first trip to WDW. Well…I guess I could just remember their firsts instead of snapping a pic or go out and buy a separate camera...

    So you still get a KTTW card with this? So the wristband isn't completely replacing it? I thought the wristband serves not only as your admission into the parks and FastPasses but also your room key, so you'd still get a KTTW card as a backup? Failsafe?

    My magic+ testing report

    It's nice to read someone actually going through it and enjoying it but I still wonder about how it will work when the masses are trying to hop on their cell phones to change FP+ and the massive hit that the service will take for just making a call or sending a text at the same time. I still...

    My Magic + details ...

    So let me see if I have this straight: These wristbands will replace all paper media, so it'll get you into the park, be your FastPass and if you decide your actual method of payment, basically combining the KttW cards and paper FPs right? It will change Park Hopping in the way that to...

    As someone who has been under a rock because of two kids in the past three years, this is all confusing and scary at first read, still digesting all of it but as a teacher who has to take their vacations when everyone else does, I foresee a lot of headaches when I decide to trek my toddlers...

    Brave could settle in at Adventureland instead of Fantasyland?

    Given that Merida is supposed to be the Princess who saves herself, I would imagine that she wouldn't want to be in Fantasyland but instead make her own way. I wouldn't mind her in Adventureland over Fantasyland but they need to get Rapunzel into Fantasyland quick

    Is Avatar to political for a Disney park?

    Avatar was basically Ferngully or Dances with Wolves in space. As far as I see it, the land of Pandora was neat to see on screen and if they can mimic the floating mountains even in just look, that'd be a cool thin to see in the parks. If they can get everything glowing too that's be a nice...
