    Favorite place to grab a cold one?

    The Cabana Bar at the Dolphin is a favorite for a casual drink and a bite. If you don't mind dressing up a bit, bluezoo's lounge is outstanding for both cocktails and food.

    Photography Question

    I think if you would like a little more flexibility in your guest list, Escape weddings can be a good option. Another thing to consider is that with the cost of an Escape wedding, you receive two vouchers for annual passes, which is not part of the Memories collection package. The savings on...

    Photography Question

    It doesn't have to be at the ceremony site. I don't think DFTW will even schedule you for two whole hours at the ceremony location. The two hours can include getting ready photos and portraits before and/or after the ceremony. It used to be that you could move that time to other events too...

    POFQ Boat

    I do know that we were once offered the use of the Old Key West fitness center while we were staying at French Quarter, but that was at a time when areas of our resort, including the pool, were being refurbished. If Old Key West is an option, you can technically walk there, though Disney...

    POFQ Boat

    The boat from French Quarter just goes to Downtown Disney, French Quarter and Riverside. To get to Saratoga Springs, you would have to take a boat to Downtown Disney, walk from the Marketplace to the West Side, and board a different boat (or just walk to Saratoga Springs from Downtown Disney as...

    Garden Grill Not Rotating

    Only dummies like me. We booked it several years ago, not realizing it was a family-style character meal, simply because it rotated and overlooked Living with the Land. My goal at the time was to dine at every restaurant with a view into a ride. When we realized it was family style and that...

    Port Orleans Riverside South Bus Stop Wait Screens

    It depends on how busy the resort is during your stay. During peak season, each resort has its own bus. At slower times, they share for all parks with the exception of the Magic Kingdom. French Quarter is the first stop for Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, but it's the opposite...

    Favorite Spicy foods?

    On and off, there is a tamale special at the San Angel Inn, and it easily packs more heat than anything else I've had on property. For something not overly hot, but well spiced, I turn to the tandoori dishes at Sanaa, or just about anything from the appetizer menu at Jiko.

    This is a very interesting read for anyone who loves Disney

    Fascinating! I haven't read it all yet, but what I have is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

    New Tiana themed restaurant?

    And while we're at it, it would be wonderful if Ariel's were reopened to the public. The space is wasted on the once-in-a-blue-moon wedding reception or private event.

    Suggestions: Hollywood Studios or Boardwalk

    I don't think I could stay in Hollywood Studios from open to close if I tried, so I think leaving for a meal is a great idea. Anything at the Swan or Dolphin is worth a visit, as is Flying Fish on the Boardwalk. If you do want to stay in Hollywood Studios, though, the Brown Derby is my...

    Great Movie Ride and the apparent lack of Kubrick

    Hitchcock comes to mind before Kubrick when I think of great filmmakers, but I understand why there is no Psycho scene.

    New Tiana themed restaurant?

    The music from the movie and more. I would geek out over a great mix of jazz and zydeco.

    New Tiana themed restaurant?

    I think a lot of people would like to see Bonfamille's at Port Orleans French Quarter reopen as Tiana's Place. Not a character meal -- just a subtle theming with good Cajun/Creole food.

    ever been asked if you're tired of going to WDW every year?

    I generally don't even entertain answering questions like that. It's not my job to try to make people "get it", know what I mean? Sometimes if I'm feeling sarcastic, I'll say, "Yeah, when that happens we go to Disneyland instead."

    Apparently, someone died on our cruise...

    I spoke with someone else on your cruise, and she said the same thing: that an elderly gentleman passed away from cardiac arrest on Castaway Cay. I think this actually happens more often than people even realize. Cruises appeal to an older demographic, and apparently nearly 200 people die on...

    Coral Reef

    This is anecdotal evidence at best, but I feel like, as a party of two, you have a pretty good chance of being seated right next to the tank. We have been on four of our five visits. It's where the two-tops are.

    Coral Reef

    I'm another repeat visitor. Our most recent meal there was a lunch last November. We always order seafood dishes, and rarely the same thing twice. Neither of us has ever had a single thing there that we didn't enjoy and find prepared well. In fact, my husband had an octopus appetizer there...
