    How does Epcot Food & Wine compare to Swan/Dolphin Food & Wine Classic?

    All I have is a general sense that the Epcot festival is very crowded, positions and variety are shrinking, and value for the dollar isn't what it used to be -- vs. a general sense that Swan/Dolphin's festival is less crowded, more sophisticated in its offerings, possible more expensive but a...

    So you always need to have your smart phone with you?

    A number of posters have remarked that when there have been issues with FP+, they have called up My Disney Experience on a smart phone to prove what the original reservation or whatever was. So is this basically saying that one always needs to have their smart phone with them now as back-up? I...

    When is Haunted Mansion closed for removal of the overlay?

    We just confirmed 5 days at DLR mid-January (DD AND DW will be in Tink Half-Marathon). Now we're wondering if Haunted Mansion might be closed then for removal of the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. Anyone know when that happens?

    What Is This "Wide Right" Strategy Of Which You Speak?

    Haven't been to DLR since '08, long before Cars Land. In reading online sources, I keep seeing reference to a "wide right" strategy for getting Radiator Springs Racers fast passes at rope drop. Could someone explain that to me in terms I could translate to the California Adventure map? Also, as...

    New Imagineering Field Guides Possible?

    Just wondering if there's any chance that those great Field Guides from a few years ago might ever be updated and released. With the completion of FLE MK seems to be fairly stable, although it would be understandable if the Studios and AK updates were somewhat delayed pending Ava-whatever and...

    Using FastPass+ Means You Can't Get A Regular FastPass?

    There was a small side-comment in a recent thread on FP+ tha seems to have gone uncommented-on: basically that of you're in the parks on FP+, you're unable to get a regular FP. Does anyone know anything about this? If true, this seems pretty ugly: so in between my pre-scheduled FP+...

    The "Field Guides" to Each of the Parks

    Some years ago Disney published (by "The Imagineers") a set of nice, pocket-sized "Field Guides" to each of the parks. Was looking through mine and wondered if Disney might have any plans to update these, or if they were a one-off type of thing. Anyone know?

    Is It Just Me, Or Is Jiko Going Downhill?

    We just got back from an amazing, indulgent 12-day stay in the World. Did our share of preferred dining - including California Grill, Flying Fish, and Jiko. We were last at Jiko 5 years ago and had an amazing meal, assisted by a wait person who spent much time with us discussing the different...

    Another Concierge Question

    We're booked for Concierge at both BC and AKL later in September. Can we still expect the advance phone call regarding special requests / welcome (as in days of old), or has that pretty much gone by the board? Anyone with any other suggestions as to best use of concierge services? (Our ADR's are...

    Cancellation of Tough To Be A Bug Refurbishment?

    Does anyone have confirmation or any more details on this? We'll be there during what was to have been the closure and felt bad about missing it, but on the other hand seeing it with a bunch of broken fx wouldn't be great, either.

    Concierge Check-In?

    We have the good fortune on an upcoming trip to be staying Concierge at both Beach Club and Animal Kingdom Lodge. I want to remember that in the past there were special check-in arrangements for Concierge-level guests, but am wondering if - like so many other things - those have gone away...
