    Pin Code Temptation

    Welp, we've been every other year regulars, and no pin code. Excuse me while I pout. ;) Nice! Always did love the treehouses. We've never done a resort-only stay (just not practical for us), but my wife could stay a week at the Beach Club/Yacht Club without leaving the premises...if she could...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    The source material is absolutely racist? The source material is NOT Song of the South. The source material is African-American folktales, many of them stories brought over from Africa and adapted to the new world the slaves found themselves in, with other stories being ones that the slaves...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    The cancel culture wins again. Don’t get me wrong: As a native of New Orleans, I LOVED (and love) the Princess and the Frog! The theming can work…or as well as possible for a land with such a mountain theme can in a place where the highest pieces of ground around are levees (and a 50 foot...

    If you had to spend the quarantine in a World Showcase pavilion?

    Such a fun topic! So many choices and few wrong answers. To quote Queen "I want it all and I want it now." That said: France. The fountains at night, Impressions, Belle and Aurora, oh...and FOOD!!!! At this point, the wine cellar would need some serious restocking. Plus, some ride's about to...

    Best Epcot area deluxe?

    BC is outstanding. As noted BC does have balconies, but some of them are on the tiny side, standing room only. BC/YC is also pool paradise.

    Poly getting extensive renovations starting spring 2020

    I still remember being blown away as a kid by the lobby waterfall...Damn, I miss it!

    New Seven Seas Lagoon Resort

    You're almost there, but not quite. Make a few changes, here and there, starting with ditching the Jake Gittis meet & greet for... Jack Burton meet and greet! 😁 Plus this change doesn't have the #metoo issues your proposal carries.

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    Nice new pics. Kinda surprised to see the bridge there already at this stage of the project, as there's obviously a lot (all?) of the cement work yet to come.

    Star Wars Races 2020 - Caribbean Beach or Swan & Dolphin?

    The CBR is a moderate resort, spread out. There is a "quiet" pool at each of the 5 "Islands", and then there's the big pool. I've never known a kid who hasn't loved this pool, from toddlers to teens. As far as room size, the CBR has the largest rooms of any moderates, averaging 340 square feet...

    Done with French Quarter after 8 stays

    I don't look on AoA as a Value Resort. In my view, it's really a hybrid, because so much of it is devoted to family suites. And of all the present moderate resorts, FQ is an outlier, being relatively compact by moderate resort standards. But deficiencies should be brought to the attention of...

    News Liberty Square to Fantasyland walkway to be widened behind Cinderella Castle

    Why think small? Tear down everything from Haunted Mansion to Under the Sea, and push it back to the railroad tracks...or even Floridian Way. Build everything bigger, better with improved passage for everyone that way. Which, of course, isn't happening anytime in the next 25 years (but maybe by...

    News Liberty Square to Fantasyland walkway to be widened behind Cinderella Castle

    This is a good move, and one that's long overdue. As to banning strollers, you'd need to permanently station cast members at both ends. There are plenty of times when there's hardly anyone of this walkway, which would infuriate those with strollers. Of course many times this walkway can get...

    Solar power farm coming to Disney

    I wonder if this is one reason for the price increases, considering solar's expense versus fossil fuels.

    ironically, I was thinking of the McDonald's coffee case. What most people don't realize is that the woman involved suffered severe burns, 3rd degree, to her crotch area, including her genitals, and required insertion of a catheter. The award did not, IIRC, account for any degree of personal...

    Lunch to be discontinued at Sebastian's Bistro

    I'll go with those who say that there's just not enough traffic for it to be open; most people are in the parks at lunch. I do wonder if this might be seasonal.

    Nw Resale Restrictions as of Jan 19th

    I think the moral of this story is simple: Never come up with new strategies for DVC while at the company New Year's Eve Party. I find it very hard to believe this stays as is. It's going to be a nightmare to try and sell Riviera with this knowledge out there. I think they change this, and...

    Help - Pop Century or All Star Music

    Pop. Queen-sized beds versus full size beds, plus better Disney IP theming that the kiddies will like. Now, not all of Pop is themed for the kiddies, but you've got better chances than at Music, IMHO.Advice: Go Youtubing. There are a lot of room and property tours of all of Disney's properties...

    Doors Fail to Open on Monorail Yellow

    During our trip in late May/early June, we went to leave the park after the end of Extra-Magic Hours at the MK (resort loop, of course). Monorail came into the station and something was going on with the doors. Not all would open. Finally, after a delay, it was boarded, and departed, and we got...

    What items have you lost at WDW and never recovered?

    Our kid left his autograph book, which included autographs from a previous trip, on Dumbo. We realized it within 5 minutes, raced back...and it was gone. Had all contact info on the front inside cover. Despite daily checks, it never turned up at Lost and Found. That was a few years back. Of...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    There will almost certainly always be a bus service, simply to prevent an ADA lawsuit on behalf of those with a fear of heights. It will be drastically reduced, during normal operations, but have to spring into action for closures, again, something that, I think, remains a mystery at this point...
