@sissa216 , the pictures that Disney have on their event website show the small half-wall without any shrubs/tress in-front of them. Do you think Disney's pic an older pic? From your photo from just a few weeks ago it looks like maybe there has been some plant growth. I guess the bottom...

I think we are talking about the same space. In this image google earth it'd be on the lower left, where the 7 tables and pinwheel umbrellas are. Ohh, Root beer floats. I hadn't thought of that. Thinking of champagne too. I'm considering having the bakery replicate our wedding cake on a...

Interesting. Thanks! So many more questions now ... Did it feel like an "obstructed view"? I suppose its nothing compared to the elbow to elbow mass of humanity that would be at any other viewing area due to F&W. Would you say I would need to pick up our little ones (5yr & 7yr) to see or could...

Hi Everyone, This coming fall my wife and I will celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and we're planning a trip to WDW, inviting some friends and family. We're looking for something special & exclusive to do in celebration. At first we thought about a private sit-down dinner somewhere in...

My friends and I are obsessed with this type of stuff to. We've started making videos pointing out the "hidden" elements at WDW. Here is our video about Horizons' elements inside Mission: Space http://secondstarfilms.com/hidden-disney/17-a-new-horizon

You just reminded me ... I had an old-school Tivo running in our guest room for the longest time. I disconnected it all when we moved, but I still have it. I wonder if it still works. I had all those Disney episodes on there too. Might be worth digging it out of storage and hooking it up.

Over the years we've gone with all sorts of psych-night rituals the night before we leave for WDW. We've played Disney board games, watched classic Disney movies, and last year we watched Walt - the Man Behind the Myth. This year we were thinking it might be fun for this group of 30-somethings...

Well that stinks :-( We were hoping to try Y&Y, but it's unlikely we'd burn a sit-down point for lunch.

I was hoping to eat at Yak & Yeti for dinner on our arrival day (8/20). AK scheduled to be open till 7 that night, but for some reason it looks like Y&Y isn't doing dinner. Anyone know why?

Hey Steve, Just out of curiosity, where do you get the official hours from? I saw you and several websites have posted hours for the month of August, but on the official WDW site the second half of the month is greyed out and some hours aren't even there. Do you and maybe travel agents get an...

I guess its also possible that they hired a second company (CA based) to work only on those effect shots.

Looks like maybe all the shots with the "picture holding" effect were done at Disneyland?

I'm also interested in hearing people's experiences about the week leading up to and including labor day. We put a deposit down on a bounceback offer for that time frame and I'm wondering if it would be better to change dates earlier (we can't go later). Anyone have any personal experience...

Somewhere off site is the best bet. I was in the Fantasia Market at Contemporary yesterday and I noticed that a six-pack (Miller Lite is what I saw on the shelf) was $15.

Whats Rapa Nui like? Steve, on your site you have down it the rooms were to be refurbed in 2011 - did that ever happen? Either way I think I'm leaning Tokelau, which I understand was refurbed in 2010 I think.

Sounds like the clear preference is Tokelau. That would get us closer to the GCH, and if we ended up in the right area of the building we might get a view of the lagoon. Is Poly known for offering upgrades based on availability?

Thanks Steve. I think I'm going to go with Tahiti. I don't mind that private feeling, and I excited to have the TTC so accessible.

I was just reading, from tikiman, that the rooms were refurbed a few months after we were there - explains why they felt rundown at the time. We're going for F&W Festival, and will be spending a good deal of time at Epcot. I'm thinking, location wise, Tahiti might be my best choice (close to...

We visited my parents when they stayed in Tokelau last year and the room/common areas didn't seem as updated as pictures and videos of others that I'd seen online. It seemed rundown a bit. I suppose it could have been isolated, or maybe I'm just remembering it differently.

Staying at the Polynesian next month and I'd like to put a request in for a certain building. Problem is, I'm not sure which building I should request. We will be staying in two rooms, standard view. Are there any buildings that are newer in as much as "more updated" than others? Or...
