We are taking our son, DIL and granddaughter for a visit this spring. We have room reservations, dining reservations and assorted other activities based on the amount of days prior to our visit. My question is can I let my son or DIL use one of my fast pass reservations if I can’t use it? My...

Grandpa wore this shirt on his honeymoon at WDW on opening day, 10/01/1971. Hard to believe I still have the shirt and granddaughter Evie could do a pose in the shirt. Evie doesn’t know yet but she is going to Disney world this spring for her first time. I hope she can be my shirt model for a...

Becky and I did our first podcast ever about our visit to the Magic Kingdom on opening day. It was a new experience and I guess you can never outgrow the enjoyment of new things. http://podcast.retrodisneyworld.com/#.VgHi9m8oHWo.facebook

It has been a long delay but I am pleased to report that my opening day at WDW 10/01/1971 trip report has been revised and is ready to view. My son, Nick, made major improvements on the pictures and we have presented the project to Keith Mahne at Disney Avenue. There are 192 images from...

Some years ago the Disney resort hotels left a card in your room that said something like, “Do not tip the housekeeping/maid staff. Fill out the card for recommendation of good service. Disney will provide them with compensation”. Does this still happen? I know that in Vegas we usually leave...

After our visit to WDW on opening day in 1971 Becky and I vowed to return ASAP. We couldn’t make it in 1972 because I had a commitment with a band I was in to play for a national convention in New Orleans. A free trip to the Big Easy was hard to pass up and Becky got to go along at a reduced...

It was a huge undertaking but the feeling of accomplishment is gratifying. I couldn’t have done this without the help of my son, Nick. He provided two fold vision in as much as approach to the problems involved and eyesight. The film cleaner arrived this morning in the mail. The red label on...

My son told me last evening that Disney has banned “selfie-sticks” at all parks. I was not aware of this or do I have such a device. I don’t believe I have ever taken a selfie on purpose. Apparently people using such contraptions are making contact with elements in/on attractions and causing...

The good news is that my son and DIL have been cleaning up some of the eons of clutter that have amassed in our household. This was their Christmas present to us. It has been a wonderful gift. Our son brought box loads of photos up from our basement and spread them about the living room. He...

Please excuse my tardiness for this TR but I don’t believe there was any World Wide Web in 1971. Tales such as this were circulated verbally from generation to generation or represented by petroglyphs etched on cave walls. The adventure began in Ohio on a rainy Saturday late in September...

When I made our reservations for spring 2016 the cast member I spoke with suggested renting a scooter from one of the local off property establishments. I have several questions for anyone who may have used this service. One major concern is how accessible is the transportation system at WDW...
