    News Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station closing for refurbishment

    Maybe they've finally actually paid attention to that fact, or at least took note of all the people posting pics of the horrible condition its been in. It shouldn't have been left in that state as long as it has been. This is a pretty inexpensive thing to fix. Either way, I'm glad they're...

    News Coronado Springs Expansion - Gran Destino Tower

    What do you mean by faltering? 1900 Park Fare is still tough get reservations for. GF Cafe is the necessary standard sit-down hotel breakfast fare and seems reasonably busy without necessarily needing reservations. The only one I could see that maybe isn't doing great business is Citrico's...

    Rumor Light Rail / Tram Link for Disney Springs to TTC?

    But realistically, that lot would sit across Floridian way west of the MK and transportation would still be needed from the lot to the MK entrance because it still would be at best a half mile from the MK entrance. They'd also need a bridge over the canal, massive, expensive road improvements...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    I hope when this happens, they are at least thoughtful about it. Disney's approach to tree issues has been to just cut down any tree that they feel impedes view of night shows, but its the mature trees that add to the charm and character of World Showcase as we know it today. Not to mention...

    Parking at Walt Disney World parks

    Yes, they usually have to do this for one or both of my kids because the biometrics never seem to work. It's frustrating though, because it still takes a few moments to find a CM with an ipad who can verify the picture. Anyone remember the period in the early to mid 90's when photos were...

    News Passholder Benefits Shifting

    Also, the "temporary" kiosks are only permitted to remain in place for a certain number of days per year. If they remain out too long, then then they can no longer be considered temporary and must meet stronger Reedy Creek building codes.

    News Sad News: Richard Gerth, the Grand Floridian greeter, has passed away...

    I agree, I really hope they do something like this. Had many great, personal interactions with Richard over the years. A truly remarkable man with such a pure heart.

    Last Minute Booking

    I wish I was rich and lived in FL too! We are big planners so a last minute trip was completely unlike us. We were actually planning for a year out, and just for comparison's sake took a look at prices for next year vs. this year and found that a last minute cruise was about 40% less than if...

    A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

    Yes this is essentially why. And it's not even a matter of any location having a loss for a day, because that really isn't happening...but because certain locations are profitable, but not profitable enough. Therefore, they feel they could make more money by cramming all guests into a...

    News Friendship Boat service to Disney's Hollywood Studios closing for refurbishment

    I too wish they finished the complete "Walk around the World" around the lagoon as had originally been planned. I think it would be a great option and provide another way to avoid the already overloaded monorail and boat situation. And sometimes its nice to just have a quiet place to walk...

    Last Minute Booking

    We planned and booked a last minute trip on the Dream with no problems a few weeks ago just 4 days prior to the sail date. Because it was last minute, we got a great price on a guaranteed stateroom (which just meant we got a guaranteed veranda but didn't get to choose the room -- and this was...

    Reservations for Entertainment shows?

    We were on the Dream on the 4/16 - 4/20 cruise where the B&B matinee got cancelled. There were lots of disappointed folks, but it worked out. We were hoping to get to bed early (kids were exhausted by this point of the trip and it was the last night which meant we'd be up really early) but we...

    News Odyssey becoming a flex space

    Gotta love the internet for giving us a forum for like-minded individuals to discuss their favorite restrooms of Epcot (Center) ! For the record, I agree with your rankings. Though I was disconcerted a while back when I read somewhere that the BGM was turned off in the Imagination restrooms...

    News Disney considering a service like Uber at WDW - Confirmed as Minnie Van

    For those needing 2 car seats, Minnie van is really the only option. And at $20 it was actually a great value. Even at $25 it's not bad. For anyone who needs 1 car seat, who was comparing with Uber+carseat, the price was usually about the same, or close to it. We used Uber+carseat on last...

    News Magic Kingdom's First Aid relocated during refurbishment

    MK Baby center does badly need an update, but in a weird way I do feel the 1970's retro vibe is charming in a way. Same with the Epcot location, 1980's Epcot. My kids are too big for them now, but in all honesty they are a fantastic resource for guests with babies and toddlers. We used...

    PHOTOS - Temporary store to open during a major update to World of Disney at Disney Springs

    Right, if I'm going to buy t-shirts in a white box store anyway, why would I pay $30 when I can buy similar items a few steps away at Uniqlo at half the price? In all seriousness, Disney has been aware of the price differential problem with Uniqlo, Alex & Ani, Vera Bradley, etc,. when compared...

    PHOTOS - Temporary store to open during a major update to World of Disney at Disney Springs

    Well, anyone can figure they're looking for increased sales. Generally the company really won't do anything unless they expect increased sales after the fact. What I've heard is their revenue projections on this renovation are so over the top as to be laughable. Does anyone really think they...

    PHOTOS - Temporary store to open during a major update to World of Disney at Disney Springs

    The new World of Disney store will remove nearly all of the themeing and props. More of a "vanilla box" with departments that can be changed out easily. Lots of white slat walls and apparently more along the lines of other shops in Springs like Uniqlo. Half of WoD will be closed during the...

    News Runoff Rapids water slides at Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishment

    Not a rumor -- there were some significant structural and plumbing issues that have existed for several years with many band-aid fixes to keep things operational. From the pictures, it looks like they may be finally addressing these issues and the get the Runoff slides operational again. I'm...

    News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

    The EWP schedule stays the same throughout the year, if I'm not mistaken. Is there any reason they don't adjust the EWP schedule based upon MK fireworks and park closing times?
