I love that they're going up. They'll be up in time for our Sep 2 trip! And so far that's the only trip we have planned before the Christmas decorations go up... and I bet that's the case for most people going in September. Other than the locals, those going in Sep won't be back for a while so...

I guess I agree with those who say build another good family ride. Or just another good ride, period -- but I guess that's why the CMs thought Star Tours would alleviate some of it. I tell you what -- when I was there I went on Star Tours over and over and over again -- couldn't get enough...

I was listening to a podcast that said something about crowds during something they called Pop Turner (I think that's what they called it). What is that and how does it effect park crowd levels in early December? Touringplans says the second week in Dec should be golden...

Hey all - I was out there last week (having a hard time returning to grey cubicle life) and I participated twice in the Hollywood Studios rope drop craze dash to TSMM. While a cast member was helping me get fast passes I asked her what she knew about how/when the crazy phenomenon would...

OK - so... need some information from those more familiar with the area -- I'll be arriving TOMORROW!! But the forecast shows rain prettey much the entire 9 days we'll be there. Should I be worried? Or is the rain usually a quick come-and-go type of thing?

Thanks everyone! I like the idea of "leaving theme park mode and entering tourist mode." Will also definitely check out Kim Possible. I was listening to a podcast and learned about the option to buy a passport that the kids can have stamped as you tour - that'll be fun. And the "must" to buy...

I am in the camp of those that like this ride for a couple reasons -- yes it spins but not nearly as bad as typical carnival rides. This ride for me is the right amount of spinning so it's fun. Second - I have young kids who are just barely old/big enough to ride this w/o Mom and Dad so...

It's worth it if it's free! And it has been all 3 times we've been in the past... and we got a PIN for free dining that we'll be using in a couple weeks! HOWEVER -- I'm committed to doing the math this time from what we order and see whether it will make sense to pay for it in the future if...

Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Rays for the variety - I like the ribs and philly cheese steak Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ for the atmosphere of the seating area alone Hollywood Studios: Pizza Planet!! I am one of the few who would name this (along with WDWmazprty) but we love it. Oh - but also...

We'll be heading down soon (9 days!) and I really don't know much about the World Showcase. Have only been there once and at the time I was tired and hot and we kinda blitzed through there. What is the best way to tour the World Showcase? Do you ride all the rides in each country? Just walk...

June 10 through 19! Looking forward to first ever experience with Star Wars Weekends... plus will be there for Father's Day. 2 adjoining rooms at Pop Century - also a first (both for Pop and for adjoining rooms... new addition to the family since the last trip).

no no - I actually agree with you. Compare a screen attraction with POTC. Or even Splash Mountain. No comparison. I do like TSMM, but I agree with dave&di about Soarin -- over-rated. The engineering behind the seat system is the only cool part about that attraction.

well said.

yes - and related to that -- there are other theme parks that have functionally similar rides -- the carousel, the dumbo ride (just themed different elsewhere). But no where else are they as immaculate as at Disney. Everything looks like it just got a fresh paint job the night before. Disney...

We never wait in line for the M&G because we get the character pictures at character meals. In fact, once there was a vantage point where my kids could stand in a certain spot little distance from the M&G the picture turned out great... and then we hurried off to our next attraction! It's...

I agree. That was one of the fun aspects of the ride. Now to go by the cannon and have it shoot and fall short it'll be a downer. Hopefully it's just something they would implement during cooler hours/seasons

thanks for the info. Any idea on time-frame? We like Little Einsteins but love Jake more so we'd welcome the change.

Interesting - great point. I have to vote thumbs up on this comment. Although... I have to mention that there are probably lots of people on these boards (myself included) who have never stayed at a deluxe so we "don't know what we're missing." My first thought was - definitely 10 days at...

yeah when we saw them on our first trip we were intrigued and then quickly hooked. I only get ones that really reflect what "DW" is to me (which I know has the potential to become a huge collection). On our 3rd trip we got the kids involved. I bought a pack of 30 on ebay for about a...

yeah good point. We really need 6 place setting since we need the 2 year old in a high chair (the infant will be strapped in a baby carrier the whole time). So we've booked 9 ADRs with 6 - thanks!
