    Disney Cruise FAQ's

    Except Sept 27 will be a Halloween cruise. So there will be a Pirate Night and a Costume/Trick or Treat night. I don't think there is a dressy night. From looking at last years navigators I believe the suggest dress code for Itinerary A is: Day 1: casual Day 2: Nassau - Halloween / casual Day...

    Accident on Pirates

    People can sue for anything, that does not mean their case has merit. Likewise, many companies choose to settle cases even if they are in the 'right' to avoid publicity or a sympathetic jury setting a precedent. The law is filled with grey areas like "reasonable precautions". I think with...

    Aurora and Snow White moving to new meet and greet locations on Sunday

    It sounds contradictory, but splitting them up speeds up the line and increases the time guests spends with A & E. How...lets say the average guest spent 2 minutes with A & E and 2 minutes (or slightly less) with Aurora. The fastest the line can move is one group of guests every 2 minutes (or...

    Other than decorations, are there any other changes during the Halloween cruises?

    Is Maleficent still a villain?

    Not sure you have the cause and effect correct. I believe it was JJ Abrams who wanted to delay the open of the movie from May 2015 to May 2016. Disney did not want to wait that long for a release (and delay the Christmas merchandising opportunity), so they agreed to December 2015.

    Is Maleficent still a villain?

    No, they are two different tellings of the same story. Some key plot items are different, but that could have been explained by "who" is telling the story. *Spoiler alert* Of course that is not possible when you find out at the end of the movie who is telling the story. Yes, Disney will keep...

    The Yankee Trader closing for refurbishment - is a dedicated Haunted Mansion gift shop coming?

    I would guess the on ride photo will be of the guests only and the effect will be added to the photo (as with the pic of people holding characters). So even if the effect is not operational on the ride, the photo will have a still of the occupants with a ghost.

    Interesting Disney Fantasy Video!

    Commercial use of R/C aircraft is (somewhat) regulated, recreational use is not. That was my point. You may not like it, but there is little restriction to where they can be flown. There is only liability if injury or property damage results from their use. (i.e. the baseball analogy. I can...

    Interesting Disney Fantasy Video!

    While I understand some of the concerns by individuals regarding the use of the R/C model, lets look at if from another perspective. This individual likely legally purchased a consumer grade radio controlled model aircraft (either pre-built or requiring assembly) with a camera mount. There is...

    Disney Outfitters store expanding with new construction at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Maybe 42% of adults don't have smart phones, but I would venture to guess that 90%+ of families attending Disney World have at least one person with a smart phone. My sister-in-law's family was recently in Orlando. They did not have the money to go to Disney World so my wife and Mother-in-law...

    FP vs. FP+ effect on standby times

    The problem may be perception versus reality. The lines may be longer because: the park was more crowed that day, you happened to be on the ride when it had a surge of guests, the physical line was shorter because people who would have been in line in front of you were using FP+ but the wait...

    Did I Really Just See That.....in Disney World?????

    I might be guilty of one of these moments, but was in a "what can I do" situation a few years back. I had my 3 year old son with me at the Magic Kingdom in December. We had just picked up food a Casey's Corner and found a good spot in the hub to watch the castle lighting. Just as we get...

    MK mine ride for BIG PEOPLE..

    Since this is designed to be a "family" coaster, I assume the split safety bars is to accommodate different size riders. There is a safety concern if a single safety bar is used with a parent and child. The child is not properly restrained and is able to climb out of their seat. I think most...

    MK SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    Stand-by line will be longer, but total throughput will be the same. Just give stand-by more time to enjoy the interactive queue.

    MK SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    Not justifying behavior of CMs, but just from some of the posts on this site, it would seem that some of the guests keep going up to the entrance to ask "Is it open now? How about now? Now? Internet said it was open? Now? Where does the line form? Now? Later today? No? Really, what time? Now...

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    I think you are reading too much into that dashed (greyscale) line. It also appears at the other openings around the viewing area. This could simple show a transition of materials, paint, or roped areas. Without the full detail and legends, it is hard to tell. This drawing does not show any...

    proof that WDW has done nothing to improve the parks in yeqrs

    There is also California Adventure, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland, and soon to be Shanghai Disneyland. While the billions spent on these parks don't directly help WDW, all except California Adventure were subsidized by another company and/or government. So the...

    Catching misinformation about WDW

    To be fair, for the first 10 years, most people used "Disney World" interchangable with "Magic Kingdom". It was not until EPCOT Center opened that there was a need to refer to the parks separate from the entire resort. On the West coast, you can use Disneyland to refer to a park or the entire...

    Ticket Price Increase - Feb 2014

    I always love the "cake and it it too" type posts. People complain that WDW is too expensive and how nobody they know goes any more, and yet park attendance continues to grow. Of course those who do go complain about long lines and overcrowding (at least for MK). Not trying to justify the...

    Spirited Spring Break News, Observations & Thoughts ...

    You are applying a simple adjustment for inflation, but not all products and services "inflate" at the same rate. Adjusted for inflation, the cost of a 1st class stamp and a bottle/can of coke have remained constant. The cost of food staples has gone down. Movie prices however have increased...
