I've been working from home on the same contract for just about 6 years now. I only leave the house to keep my car running and to go to the beach or WDW. It's strange to look out my window this morning and see so many cars in the driveways!

It was the AP Spring price. The regular rate was about $50 more per night...still not terrible by Disney standards!

I arrived on Jan 27 and made the reservation on Jan 21. I had a reservation for one of the Flamingo Crossing hotels (I usually stay over there if it's just me or me and my wife, or I stay at one of the Marriott Vacation Club resorts if it's a family trip) and I was checking each day to see if...

Not quite a view issue, but I stayed in a $270 standard view room at Yacht Club at the end of January. I've stayed in the "cheap" rooms before at the deluxe resorts and had my expectations before I opened the door. I was on the 2nd floor and had a view of trees that provided about 80% privacy...

When I stayed at the Grand Destino Tower I was very impressed by the WiFi speed. I was at Pop in August (50's section) and the WiFi there was also speedy and consistent. I don't know if Disney has been upgrading their networks or it's just part of the new resorts/refurbs but I do know that the...

Disney credits you the face value of the ticket. If you paid $500 on Undercover Tourist for a $570 ticket, Disney will credit you $570 towards the AP.

I was at WDW last week. They have signs at the booths now that say "Please have your ID ready with Annual Pass". They checked my ID at every park every time I went through a booth unless it was later in the day. Each time the attendant also said, "Thank you for having your ID ready!"

Here's how this whole thing is going to go down. Disney will start charging parking fees for reservations made after March 21st. After anywhere from 2-6 months, Disney will lower the prices due to "customer concerns". They will lower the prices to something like a $10/$15/$20 fee for each level...

My AP expires on Friday and I'm not renewing this year. Lots of little things for me: I live 800 miles away The crowds are never-ending now The hotel prices are a wee bit too high for my taste Lines are getting longer and longer (obviously related to the crowds) Lots of new things coming, so...

Another little thing I miss is the pulled pork on waffle fries at the Golden Oak Outpost. I had them early last year and the next time I went back two months later they had been replaced by chicken nuggets. Really? They go and replace a simple, yet unique, item with chicken nuggets??? I've...

Tapestry of Nations parade. I saw it on my first visit to WDW and wish it would have lasted longer because I didn't make it back until 2008.

It is an elevator at Disneyland. The ride building is on the opposing side of the DLRR train tracks from the mansion entrance. Elevator down, hallway underneath the train tracks, and enter your doom buggy. I do find it interesting how they try to make the effect the same without the use of an...

I could get stuck in front of the singing busts in the graveyard in HM and be quite satisfied. Who wouldn't want to watch and listen to Thurl Ravenscroft for an extended period of time? Not quite related but sorta, kinda...last December I was on 7DMT during Wishes and huge overhead fireworks...

I was walking past the Leave a Legacy section at Epcot last night and heard a boy say to his mother, "Mom, are these people buried under here?!?!"

My wife and I just renewed for the first time. We contemplated it and decided to renew just this once since 1) we get a free month for the 45th anniversary; 2) we still don't have to pay for my son until later on in 2017 when he turns 3; and 3) my best friend of 35 years lives in Orlando so it's...

My son (16 months at the time) had his first haircut there in December '15. We made a reservation and he was seated within 5 minutes of the reservation time. He loved it, the barber was great with him, and we got a baggie with pretty much all of his hair. We also stopped by for his 3rd haircut...
