    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    I couldn’t agree more! In the original story, the little mermaid DIES! I remind people of that every time I go on the ride! It traumatised me as a Child!

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Cinderella was forced into domestic slavery, Belle was kept in captivity by a beast, don’t even get me started on the Animal rights violations with Dumbo! Disney have already re-written history with the change of role of the Redhead in Pirates, now they are eliminating history by getting rid of...

    Double charged my resort payment

    A similar thing happened to our friends last year - they were charged twice for tickets. Disney were pretty good about it and refunded the money reasonably quickly. They also added a $200 gift card to our friends’ reservation!

    Smoking areas GONE starting may 1st Pinned so people can still see the announcement.

    No smokers here have ever claimed to be above anybody else, as far as I can see. That is for the other folks!

    In the DSA you are generally with like-minded people. In lines etc. You are with the people that you have little in common with - the self-privileged, ‘stick up the brigade’, if you will! Occasionally you will meet a good one!

    Me too! A major part of my holiday is meeting other people! I am worried what this change will do to the social aspect! I have some great memories of puting the world to rights with smokers, in the DSA! I am sad that those days have gone! I got to meet so many wonderful people, from...

    Sounds like a cracking idea for a DVC Resort! We can ban strollers and Children and charge non DVC members for entry - to cover the Annual Dues!

    Not within the security cordon - you have to go through the Poly/Grand Flo boat security every Time!

    I have been watching this thread, with interest, from the start! I am amazed at my self-control!

    DHS Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Disney's Hollywood Studios opening date

    We will be in Florida for opening! Don’t plan to go on opening day but am very, VERY excited about the possibility of even getting into the land as it was not something we expected when we booked! We will keep an eye out for hard ticket events or DVC/Passholder events though as I am not one...

    Swan and Dolphin: Your thoughts and opinions

    DH and I are DVC members and pass holders. However, last year we were using all our points on a 2 bed for the last 8 days of our stay as we had friends joining us. So, we needed a place to stay for a week! We were coming over from the UK and priced up all of the Disney hotels. We love the...

    Raglan Road or House of Blues? Ready...go!

    Definitely Raglan Road! Never had a bad experience there in 10 years! Went to HoB once and never again - made me and DH ill!

    Hate for childless Disney fans

    We have no kids and go every year! I have never experienced any hate while in the parks but certainly questions from family, friends etc. The thing is, lying on a beach or by a pool would drive me nuts! I like everything that Disney has to offer and enjoy just mooching around and people...

    Garden Grocer

    We use GG every trip and the service has always been great from both GG and WDW! Would highly recommend! We tend to tip high as we order lots of boxes of beer! Bell services have a sack barrow though so they don’t mind - we always get asked when the party is!

    Disney Newbie...Help with Restaurants

    Tusker House has characters at every meal and is fab - great character interactions, entertainment & fantastic food! They also do a ROL dining package, although would mean an early dinner. Hollywood and Vine has been abysmal the last couple of times I have been - Food is terrible - would not...

    lounging with a view

    I would also recommend Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge! But if it has to be at the Springs, the Margarita Bar has great outdoors seating with a view, and often live music! No food, but you could always grab something from Earl of Sandwich just across the way!

    How far do you live from WDW ?

    2 hours at the airport, 9 hour fight, then between 20 mins to 3 hours at US immigration!

    Spendings per day...

    Get a delivery order from Garden Grocer to the Resort - it is about $15 delivery but you can save quadruple that amount by ordering all your bottled water, coke, beer and snacks. They deliver it to the Resort and then you call bell services to get it to the room - a few dollars tip. We do it...

    Caring for Giants Tour?

    We had it scheduled for last September, but it was cancelled due to the hurricane, really hope to do it this year - looks fab! If you want to know what it entails, check you tube. There are a couple of videos up,

    I need ideas on how to entertain a nine year old!

    Moonlight magic is on Wednesday so we hope to get tickets for the whole party for that! I wish they had something like Harambe Nights on - still the best event I have ever been to at Disney, but it appears that was a one time thing!
