Apparently WDW had Easter services yesterday in the Contemporary, I saw an Examiner article on the Yahoo frontpage. As far as characters in the parks, I agree that a grown man saying "It was my first time meeting Anna and Elsa in person" is very strange. However, I'm in my mid-twenties and...

Very true. I would go to WDW much more often if the hotel prices weren't so outrageous. I used to go VERY often (twice per year in the mid 90s thru about 2004). I've been back three times since. In that time I've also visited DLR, TDR, and DLP - places I hadn't been previously. I'm a 2 hour...

I ran the wine and dine half in 2012 and had a blast. However, since I didn't provide a proof of time - I'm an average recreational runner, can run a half marathon in under 2 hours - I was placed in corral F, the last one. I'd say I had to walk for the first two miles. There was NOWHERE to run.

I listen when I feel like having some WDW mixed in with my day, not when I'm trying to get any serious WDW news. He makes a lot of money off the Disney name, and I'd assume the company feels it's better to have an "unofficial" representative who loves everything Disney instead of a certified...

I never understood the relationship between Lou and Disney. Since I love WDW I listen to Lou's podacst, but he occasionally devotes significant time to non-WDW parts of Disney, such as the movie club. He also has a lot of inside news so I always wondered about the parameters of his actual...

Flame away if you must, but I went on Matterhorn for the first time a few weeks ago and it's not on my list of "must-go" attractions for the next time I vist DLR. While I enjoyed the theming very much, the actual ride was too herky-jerky and I don't think my large-ish frame (6'4, 215 lbs) was...

Interesting. I don't really like the idea of Disney selling WDW land but if they were to sell it to any company, Four Seasons is definitely a reputable one.

Ahh ok, I'm thinking that it's IN WDW, like Swan/Dolphin, not off to the side like Hotel Plaza Boulevard. It's kind of in a weird location - just to the east of Fort Wilderness and Osprey Ridge.

So is anyone else excited about this new Four Seasons that is opening on WDW property this summer? I am, but I had a few questions - Will this be considered a "Disney" resort like the Swan/Dolphin where guests get EMH and Disney transportation to the hotel? Also, will you be considered a...

I did the Wine and Dine in 2012 and was placed in the last corral because it was my first half-marathon. I was not running for a time goal at all - ended up finishing 2:20 - but If I was it would've been hard because the first couple of miles are jam-packed with bodies. When I finally got some...

I hope you're right. I'm trying to be optimistic about Star Wars being done right in Disney parks, but I have a bad feeling about this.

I know this has been said but I really, really hope they do this right. If they do, it can be better than Harry Potter. Think about it - the premise of Disneyland since 1955 has been to transport you from the world of today to the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy. Isn't that why each...

Wait wait wait...you can get the actual race medal just by paying? Is that new? I ran the wine and dine half in 2012 and they gave you a medal after you crossed the finish line. You get plenty of stuff before the race and get into the Epcot after party just for signing up, but it would be kinda...

So that's what this is about...

I'm very excited to just wing it, but I did make one dinner reservation at Blue Bayou. I ate at Blue Lagoon in DLP and loved it, so I needed to make sure I locked up DL's "inside POTC" restaurant.

I have no idea what the song is. I heard it after exiting RnRC and it has been bugging me ever since. Some type of electric guitar. Last year was my first trip to WDSP. Would have been interesting to compare the park to when it first opened. I enjoyed the attractions but the layout/design...

Thanks for all the replies! Sounds like that animation lobby is something I need to check out, and there have been a few mentions of Trader Sam's and Hungry Bear as well. DL railroad and Pacific Wharf Cafe will be good options too. Looking forward to this trip.:cool:

Found this Walt Disney quote and thought it could be very relevant to much of the discussion here: "I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral."

Yes WDSP kind of seems like a parking lot with attractions plopped here and there. I get that the theming is "movie studio lot" but at least make me feel like I'm in Hollywood or something. Palm trees, mountains in the background, the SoCal feel would be great. I realize that Disneyland itself...

I'm a longtime WDW veteran going to DLR in March for the first time since I was a little kid. Can't wait to go and have a good idea of my itinerary, but I need help with one little aspect - places to just sit and relax in the parks. I have my favorite places in WDW to just chill in between...
