    Insane crowds, more space needed

    7/4/1989, it took my sister and i over 2 hours to get back to poly after watching fireworks on Main Street. Several people fell out from heat exhaustion. It was mayhem. I would bet my life there were over 100k people there.

    How much does Disney's music improve your experience?

    Music is necessary for the immersion that Disney wants. Access to music was actually better 10 years ago than now. Live365 had 30 plus Disney stations, but to go further back, I had a hard drive or 2 full of downloads from mIRC. This was all attraction and resort music loops. Not things one...

    Tipping for Mousekeeping?

    We have always tipped mouse keeping, but 2 years ago, I was actually moved by the individual who received our tips the first 4 days of our stay. We had returned to our room at YC for an afternoon of rest and resort enjoyment. We had just closed the door when there was a knock. I opened the door...

    Disney After Hours was great!

    My family of 4 are super excited about the Disney After Dark event at MK on 7/14. We also are going to Moonlight Magic at Epcot on 7/16. We saw the value in spending the additional money for the 7/14 event for several reasons. It is July, so that means heat, crowds, long lines, and we just...

    Holding seats at QS restaurants

    We are like you. QS for lunch at 11am then table service for dinner. We also try to hit spots like Columbia at MK, Flame Tree at Ak, and Sunshine Season at Epcot for QS. I rarely have an issue finding a table at those. Pecos is the biggest nightmare with Backlot express running a distant second.

    Holding seats at QS restaurants

    I own QSR restaurants and I can tell you it drives me crazy to see customers squat at tables while their family orders. The speed of service model is specifically set up to allow for the proper turmover of tables so that everyone will have a spot to sit once they order, pay, and grab their...

    Increased foot traffic at Epcot's International Gate...

    Bronson, you are spot on. We have always stayed at Y&BC for easy and unpressured access to Epcot, a quiet night on the Boardwalk, short lines at Ample Hills, and just the relaxing feeling the whole area seemed to provide. No reason to pay the premium price anymore IMHO. I still remember when we...

    This is how bad the price increases are

    I believe some of these price increases are being used to offset the massive discounts being given to all the conferences and conventions being held on property. My wife is a physician, and we have looked into 2 conferences for the exact same dates in July. One is at GF and the other YC. The...

    Will Disney honor discounts for rooms already booked?

    Have you thought about using a travel agency like Kingdom Consultants which are major sponsors of this forum? They will book your vacay and then monitor any discounts that are released. I have used them for years. I let them know I am AAA member, have a Disney Visa, and when I was going multiple...

    News Magical Express to pickup 4 hours before flight departure time due to new security measures

    The line issues at MCO are caused by the same problems that effect lines at Disney, fast food restaurants, grocery stores, etc. There are just certain people who just choose not to be prepared or follow instructions. Following them will help expedite the process. At MCO, at least at the check...

    Favorite food no longer sold

    Old Flying Fish menu is definitely missed. Not just the actual food but it was one of the best values in dining. Although, I would not drink them knowing what's in fruit juices now, but as a kid I loved the fruit shaped juice drinks you could get from the open top ice filled carts in the late...

    Tomorrowland Transit Authority refurbishment

    Just hit me and may have been mentioned when movie was released, but Tomorrowland the Movie was not based off some retro sci-fi place. It had the look of the original WDW tomorrowland. Any chance we may see a Pirates situation where a "land" inspires a movie then the movie inspires the "land"? I...

    Grocery Delivery to Resort

    Family and I have used garden grocers pretty much every trip for last 4 years or so. We love it!! Also, unless they made some changes to pricing since June 2016 the pricing of items I bought were pretty much the same as I pay at local grocery stores here in Louisiana. I did not see any $2-$10...

    Preferred parking comes to Disney Springs from June 1

    I can definitely see everyone's frustration with the additional charges Disney seems to be introducing every week. I see certain fees as being ok and others not so much. Not because I have an issue with the fees themselves, but how they are introduced. For example, resort fees are in my opinion...

    My Disney Experience Mobile Order for restaurants now live

    I wonder why it has taken Disney so long to get this done? Lots of businesses have done this with much smaller budgets. There are a few things that are pushing this trend. One, people want things fast and want to waste as little time as possible acquiring it. Second, millennials always have...

    FAREWELL WISHES (an appreciation thread)

    Wishes has a special place in DW and I's heart. I watched video of final show from last night this morning. Quite emotional. Had the pleasure of seeing it on its official opening day in October 2003. Middle of a packed Main Street with a 6 year old son on one hip and 3 year old daughter in the...

    October 2003, DW and I pull oldest out of school, so that four of us may partake in the grand openings of Mickey's Philharmagic, Mission Space, and Wishes. Also, the one and only time we have been able to do MNSSHP. Another caveat, was Julie Andrews was doing a book signing that week also...
