I was just thinking, that it if it was indeed Kashyyk, at the time of the second Death Star battle that entire planet would have been enslaved by the empire. Not exactly a prime tourist destination. But perhaps I'm over-geeking it a bit with that one. But, as the other poster mentioned...

I think I see both the second Death Star and Kashyyk (the wookie homeworld) in the background of that picture. So maybe we will get a nice balance of both Prequel and Original trilogy destinations. Not sure how they would work that storywise though.

Does Disney generally extend park hours when they are hit with an unexpected increase in crowds? I’ll be there the first week of Feb. I don’t mind it being crowded. I usually go in August. But, I hate the idea of long lines mixed with shorter hours. Maybe it’s possible that they extend MK...

I can tell you exactly why Disney doesn't use Macs. Microsoft offers huge discounts and support packages to companies that agree to standardize Microsoft products across their entire company. The larger the company the bigger the discount. So Disney has Microsoft OS's and applications for...

Not sure where you got that. Socialism is based on those who have surplus giving to those who have deficit. Since you seem to have a surplus of pity to spare(in that you were giving it no me without need), I thought you might use it for good. But this board is not for discussing merits of...

Why is it that you pity me? Because you don't agree? Because I have investigated many political philosophies and have decided to be open minded in accepting that there can be right on all sides? I don't need your pity. Save that for someone who may someday need it. That is the very nature...

Firstly, Marxism is not Communism. No more than Capitalism is American Democracy. Secondly, I would venture a guess that there are many ideologies that have caused more harm than Communism, since communism hasn't really been around that long. Christianity's roll in the Crusades alone would...

Its not a full SPA like GF or Saratoga. Its just the Sturdy Branches Health Club, and they offer massages and facials. Much cheaper than the full spa treatments over at GF.

Thanks for the responses. Seems I'm better off making it ahead of time. Maybe I'll let my wife call on Christmas and pick her own time. That will still be a good five weeks in advance.

So, I was thinking of getting my wife a Swedish massage at the WL (where we will be staying the first week of feb) as a Christmas present. Does anyone know whether these are booked far in advance, or is it something we can just figure out while we're there. I haven't pinned down our schedule...

Anecdotal evidence of the credit crunch may not apply here. Example: The NFL just took out a 2 billion dollar line of credit to increase its liquidity over he next few years. The purpose was to do it now so that if the economy gets worse they could continue with whatever economic ventures they...

Thanks! I'll give the hotel a call and see what they say. I guess if the buses aren't running, I'll just have to schedule a cab to pick us up. Does anyone know if that's something I can do through the front desk, or do I need to call a cab company directly?

So, I made my reservations for my upcoming trip yesterday. (First week of Feb). I have a breakfast reservation for Ohana at 7:30 am on a day that the Magic Kingdom opens at 9. Does anyone know what time buses start running? To make it to the Poly from POR in time, I'd need to hit the bus stop...

So, I'm planning on booking my trip for the first week of February this weekend. The airfare for that week just dropped by about 33% so I decided that after saving for two years, I should jump on this opportunity. But, now I'm worried. With the collapse of the economy will I be missing out...

I'm not sure how long you've been coming to these boards, but if you had been here for any length of time and had paid attention in the past you would know this is true. I may not post much, but I've been on these boards since 2002. I stop in almost every day. Many of the sources on here are...

Please tell me this isn't true about HM. It was down for the big refurb when I was there last August. if its down when I'm supposed to go the first week of February, I might actually consider postponing my trip. Especially with Space and TTA being down at the same time.

I second the POR bump up. I think the moderate resorts are a large step up from the values, with POR being my favorite of the moderates. I find the theming to rival some of the lesser Deluxe resorts, and the food court there is one of the nicest in WDW. IMHO

Thanks for the tip. I guess I can always change my dinner reservations for a given night if it turns out there will be a P&P party at the same time. I'll keep checking the hours. Now, if they'd just release the February hours so that I can start my planning.:)

Does anyone know how far in advance Disney usually announces the special admission events? I'm planning a trip for the first week of Feb, and wanted to know if we're going to have a P&P event that week? We enjoyed the one we went to last August and we're hoping to get one again, but since...

That one has Christmas stuff year round. (Or at least it did when I was there last August) But, its really small. Much smaller than the one in Liberty Square.
