    The Disney Archives

    Here's something I've always wondered, this seemed like the right forum for it. Are the Disney Archives an actual archive? As in an archive that academics visit to study primary sources, etc? Like the beautiful National Archives in Kew, UK (not that large obviously)? I'm a historian (got a phd...

    Anyone try Portillos?

    I went to Chicago in 2012 and after I tried Portillo's, I kept finding excuses to return while visiting. I really enjoyed it. Now it's open in Orlando, anyone know if it's any good?

    Best for B-days?

    I may be visiting for the 50th, and if I do I will have a chance to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time: visit the parks on the anniversary of my birth. If it does work out, do you have any recommendations for table-service restaurants that are known to throw in a little Disney...

    Coming back to the forum

    Howdy folks, Been away for a while, good to be back in the forums (well, good for me, I imagine most are disappointed). Looks like the politics forum got trashed? Anything else changed in the last few months or happenings I should know about?

    State of the parks

    I've seen voluminous reports on the state of the Disney parks, but what are things like in Universal for actual visitors? Walkways seem less crowded than usual, how are wait times? Is staffing low with many shops and side activities closed? How's ride maintenance, show quality? Any progress on...

    Farming n' stuff

    Any professional farmers around here? I'm 100% not a farmer, but I do have an addiction to Farming Simulator, which has really gotten me into tractors and gear. Always wanted to know how accurate (if at all) the game prices were for certain crops, fertilizers, machines, equipment, livestock...

    Grand Fiesta Tour Show Quality

    No, this is not a joke, this is serious business people. One of my family's favourite attraction elements is the little Small World-esque Mexican boy animatronic going crazy on the dance floor. We'd joke about it, take lots of videos, say "look at him go!", great fun was had all around. But...

    Warranty Sticklers?

    Hey all, Anyone have and experience dealing with dealerships and warranty repairs? The engine on my car suddenly blew out and towed it to a dealership. Turns out there's this common issue with my model that the company agreed to cover related damages in a lawsuit. First we were quoted a huge...

    Best place to get a drink in Disney Springs

    I got bored so I made this poll instead of working. Looking for the wisdom of the crowd to tell me the best place to get a drink in the Springs. I will then photograph myself consuming said drink at the winning location and post on here for all you to enjoy. Should be a nice peaceful thread...

    Uni Hotel Car Rentals

    Has anyone rented a car directly from the hotels before? What was the experience/prices like? I'm trying to find info online but its all vague telling me to call for more information.

    Number of days to use ticket

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it. When did Disney change the amount of time you get to use all the days on your ticket? I always used to get a 7 day ticket and use the days comfortably over 14 days. Great, no complaints. Now for the privilege of having 14 days I...

    May hotel specials

    Isn't this around the time Disney announces any discounts on the rack rate for hotel stays after April, or do they not offer discounts every year?

    Talking stormtroopers

    I've heard the stormtroopers lines are pre-recorded and not a voice changer. There seem to be a lot though and they can usually follow conversations. How do they select which lines to play?

    Lockpicking/Locksport anyone?

    Bit of an oddball hobby (not sure if this is 100% the right forum) but anyone into lockpicking? Not illegally of course, but I've just picked it up and it really is a whole world I never new existed. Not just the satisfaction of finally figuring out a lock and improving your dexterity skills...

    Does Oasis Canteen actually exist?

    I was looking forward to a funnel cake at Hollywood Studios, so I followed the website, and there was nothing there. The CM's said there's nowhere to get funnel cakes at the Studios and it's been like that for years. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/hollywood-studios/oasis-canteen/...

    Picking up MB's at resort before check-in

    I've tried to search if this question has been asked before and nothing came up, so apologies if I missed something. I am staying on-site but I don't live in the US so my only option is to pick up my MB's at the resort. The issue is our first planned day at the parks is also the day of...

    The Rose & Crown & Fireworks & Questions

    Howdy all, I've read that the patio at Rose & Crown is a great place to catch the 9pm fireworks. The latest reservation I could get was 7:05pm with the fireworks at 9. My question is: Would it be A) rude and B) worthwhile to try and stretch out our dinning until 9pm (2 hours later) or am I...
