    D23 Expo 2015

    Iger will head up the Legends ceremony Friday morning. The heads of the individual units traditionally give their respective presentations: Lasseter for Animation, Alan Horn for Live Action, etc. It was Jay Rasulo who gave the Parks and Resorts presentation in 2009 (announcing New Fantasyland)...

    D23 Expo 2015

    I'm trying to find where I *just* read it, but for Hall D23, Stage 23, and Stage 28 they clear everybody out after each session. A new line forms for each session.

    Can You Help My ADR Dilemma?

    We had the same situation a couple years ago with Le Cellier with me, my wife, my parents and our (almost) 3-year-old daughter. Leading up to the trip, I tried periodically to find one for 5 without success. The day of the reservation we showed up, when they confirmed "4 people", I said "Yes...

    Reminder: Passholder Preview signup noon (EDT) today

    I was able to get in, but I wasn't able to register my friends who have Premier Passports. Kept asking me to correct their numbers. I ended up just doing mine with the hope they'd be able to get in later. Doesn't look like they will.

    Can Annual Passes be worthwhile for a one time trip?

    Don't forget about 10% off on souvenirs/merchandise. It can add up. With Tables in Wonderland, we were very close to breaking even on a 10-day trip with 4 adults and a two-year-old. We had about 6 or 7 table-service meals with the 20% off which was nice. We did not figure any room discounts into...

    The Lion King stage production to be in Orlando April 17-May 13

    We saw it in Minneapolis last month and very much enjoyed it. If you're going to be in Orlando during its run there and you wouldn't otherwise have a chance of seeing it, I'd consider it a worth the time away from the parks and added expense to catch it. For the record, in Minneapolis we had...

    Cost to upgrade to annual pass

    I will confirm what MissM is saying. I did exactly this in December. Upgraded my ticket purchased from Undercover Tourist at Epcot Guest Relations after I entered the park. The CM had to go in the back because I "bought the ticket at a discount". I was worried, but she came back and said that...

    Tables in Wonderland question

    I tell the hostess when we check in. I believe it's one of the "options" in the system as we have seen it printed on the little ticket they leave at the table when you are seated. Otherwise I usually told them if/when they asked if we were on the dining plan. Worst case we had them reprint the...

    Free Dining PIN??? For spring/summer?

    I posted this in the thread linked to above, but I'll say it here, too: For the Free Dining pin offer I received this morning, guests staying at a Moderate resort will no longer get the regular Dining Plan free, but will get the Quick-Service dining plan like the Values. Deluxe and Deluxe Villas...

    Free dining pin codes are being sent out....

    Up until now Moderates have gotten the regular Dining Plan for the free promotion (at least for those of us here in the US).

    Free dining pin codes are being sent out....

    Stinks for anyone staying at a Moderate. I got the email this morning and now Moderates (like Values) will only get the Quick-Service plan with the free dining offer. Deluxe and Deluxe Villas will still get the full Dining Plan. Value/Mod dates: 4/15-5/31 Deluxe/Villa dates: 4/15-6/30

    Renting a car for the day

    According to MouseSavers you can either call the Car Care Center (407-824-3470) to arrange a shuttle (no more than 24 hours ahead of time) or you can call your resorts front desk to arrange a shuttle to the CCC (give them 30 minutes lead time). http://www.mousesavers.com/onedayrentals.html

    How Talking Mickey Works??

    I was under the impression that it was this patent that was behind the dynamically talking Mickey. As far as the characters in Dream Along with Mickey, at least *some* portion of their head animation is controlled with sensors in the gloves of the costume. Most of the time they'll place their...

    Pool Hopping

    For the record: pool hopping *IS* allowed between the Port Orleans resorts (Riverside and French Quarter). Now I'll sit back and watch the fireworks.

    Sorcerer Mickey returns to Fantasmic

    I am literally sitting here after the 8pm performance and Sorcerer Mickey was a total no-show. Same as when we saw it last Wednesday. I'm really disappointed as we fought the crowds because he was supposed to be back. On a positive note, John Smith swung around the mountain which he didn't...

    In-Room Wi-Fi at Port Orleans Riverside

    Came back to our room today (Alligator Bayou #36) and Mousekeeping had left a flyer with instructions for connecting to in-room Wi-Fi. The network wasn't there earlier this week, so they must have just rolled it out.
