Ugh. This all really makes me sick. Nobody asked for this. What a waste of money and theme park fans' appreciation. Why we have to lose an incredible attraction to the latest hopefully-profitable IP is nauseating. This company with more cash than it knows what to do with, can't just create a new...

Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain...the smells are similar but just a little bit different, but they both take me back to a simpler time. The Norway shops at the exit of Maelstrom are way up there too.

Since the poll has closed, DW would like to nominate the Carousel of Progress cast, followed by the Hall of Presidents as runners-up.

#38. They finally add a loop to Space Mountain to one track. And you have to use 2 FP+'s to ride that side. Kinda like a Signature restaurant. Cashless? You think Disney is going to limit the ways they can absorb money from consumers? Probably not going to happen until it's countrywide, and we...

I voted for Pirates, of course, because the WDW version is totally pathetic compared to the original. My second vote went for F!, even though I've never seen the WDW one in person, I know it's inferior because it lacks the Columbia, the Mark Twain, and of course the immensely impressive Murphy...

I would like to endorse Tales From the Jungle Crews (I appeared on an episode 2 years ago). Sweep Spot is cool but can be a bit dull. WDW Today, "the other sites podcast", Unofficial Guide with Jim Hill and Len, and the others I like when I have time to listen are Communicore Weekly...

Friday, sat and Sun will be busier on average than mon-thurs for DME arrivals. 10am though, will probably have a line. For the OP: 2 Januarys ago, we arrived at 5:30, got straight onto DME, waited maybe 5-10 mins before leaving for Contemporary, checked in, ate breakfast at Contempo Cafe, and...

I would also look into renting DVC points and getting yourself a nice studio which will have a kitchenette. Bay Lake Tower is adjacent to Contemporary and is a wonderful place to stay, we own there and absolutely love it. AKL is ok though not our favorite by a mile, and you must bus or drive...

You most likely won't need the Nemo FP anyway, I've personally never waited even a minute for that one, even during the new FP+ era. Don't sweat it if you don't make it, enjoy your meal.

The first week is the best. I made the mistake of booking a trip there during presidents weekend 2008--NEVER AGAIN. It was insanely crowded. The first week will be nice though.

We went those dates in '14 and crowd levels were about the best we've ever seen aside from our first trip early may 07. The last Tuesday of January was rainy and we walked on just about every ride. Don't worry about the 6's, that's typical for all weekend days pretty much, and it beats 8-10's...

When I try to update my account to reflect DVC membership so I can buy gold AP's, it sends me to a blank page. I guess I'm just going to have to call and buy them over the phone?

Yeah there's no way you're fitting an ECV in there, AND four adults. Personally I think you'd be much better off with 2 rooms, but if you're just using it as a place to shower and crash then go for it. I'd say this about any studio, they're not really that big. The pullouts are not comfortable...

Possibly due to Jersey week? We went a couple times around those dates, and it was supposed to be somewhat lighter crowds but it was actually quite busy. Plus free dining and maybe a marathon, and you get a booked up resort as a result.

Let's not forget that Mine Train wasn't in the original plans for New FL. I'm sure what we heard about yesterday and what we will actually see 4-5 years from now may be significantly different. DL won't even break ground for over 2 years supposedly, and nobody really knows when ground breaking...

I also vote Bay Lake Tower 1 bedroom. The proximity to MK is highly valued (10 minute walk or monorail ride), and I assume you will be spending much of your time at that park given your young ones' ages. The buses are very reliable and less crowded than many of the other resorts, and you can...

I would not put 5 in ANY studio, myself. BLT is definitely my fav of the 3, though I have not stayed at Poly. VGF was nice but not worth the extra points to me. Walking distance to MK from BLT is PRICELESS, more so with 3 little ones! Not folding up strollers and waiting in long bus lines is a...

I would absolutely keep the BLT and just book at BWV/VGF when you can/want. As stated previously, the years and lower dues are what make BLT a good value. And do you really want to hassle with selling, then buying again? Not to mention commissions, closing costs, etc. Worst, case, you "have" to...

Underrated: Biergarten, Big River Grille Entertainment and atmosphere, plus great German confort food. BRG, come on, craft brews, decent alfredo and great burgers and nachos ON the Boardwalk! Overrated: Via Napoli. Never again. $40 for a bland pizza?

I fully endorse Sleepy Hollow's fruit & Nutella waffle. Also the Norway School Bread, just browse the bakery in France and pick just about anything like an eclair or their special of the day, and don't forget to stop in Germany's Karamel-kuche for some fresh caramel corn or sea salt dark chocolate!
