    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I have no information on it to "know," but, yes, a gym is my best guess for the first floor near the pool. I'm talking about the red area below that has an exterior entrance, next to pool bathrooms and showers (purple area), and has no discernable plumbing to support alternative uses. The...

    Boardwalk Villas?

    1. It's split. Carousel Coffee off the lobby has coffee, muffins, milk, etc. Screen Door General is on the boardwalk (villas side) and only accessible from the boardwalk. That's where you'll find more pre-made stuff and staples like bread, pre-made sandwiches, deli meat, etc. Boardwalk Deli (inn...

    News Victoria & Albert’s awarded MICHELIN Star

    Imagineering hadn't perfected cloning yet. It surprises me that Disney hasn't lured Israel into a position to impact more restaurants but if he likes working with guests it's possible he's turned down other roles.

    Boardwalk Villas?

    It's August and going to be hot so maximizing air conditioning time is nice if going to/from HS use the ends of buildings to enter/exit and the stairs. They're circled red here. Should be able to in and out here. Do not go to boardwalk and long way around to HS. But when you *are* going to the...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Tried searching the thread but didn't see anything about the interview with Charita and Ted on WDW Radio that came out almost 10 days ago. Nothing ground breaking but they did give credit to some individuals that worked on costuming and other parts. Ted spoke briefly about the music and...

    I heard her grassroots efforts started the 1929 impeachment of Louisiana governor Huey Long. Don't ask about 1935.

    I wonder how much a bottle of Tiana Foods hot sauce will cost?

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Sound leaking may just be what's being tested. "At what volume can this be played to not bleed everywhere" could need to start high and then be lowered. Lighting seems like it'd be adjustable to be able to brighten if needed for some reason at night for safety?

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Do we know if Disney adjusts individual LL capacity based on expected DAS demand or if they're totally independent decisions?

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    No, this is unlikely even information they keep because it would be protected health information (the reported condition) linkd to a specific individual. That's exactly the kind of information they don't want to store. But Disney might have aggregate data, like X people reported autism, Z people...

    Polynesian Room Service

    Polynesian room service from 'ohana was a real treat. I haven't heard of it back but some of the menu including the noodles, bread pudding, and wings are available at Tambu Lounge for someone to order and bring back to the room.

    New summer 2024 Walt Disney World Resort hotel offers coming this week

    As a note, emails went out on 4/9 with the wrong dates for the Visa offer. The email end date was 12/24 and the correct date, as posted by Disney Dreamer, appears to be through 12/21. An updated email was sent today, 4/10. Disney probably didn't want to be giving free dining to folks coming in...

    Ragtime music, with syncopated rhythms, existed before jazz and is more sheet music. Ragtime was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Inspirations included marching band music, African beats, European stuff, minstrel music, and others. Kinda like a gumbo of music. So there are many...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Interesting choice of Afro-Cuban jazz. I believe Afro-Cuban jazz popularized in the 1940s (after the ride setting period) far away from Louisiana in, I think, New York. Some New Orleans jazz musicians have some Spanish and African influence but I don't believe that Afro Cuban is a style that...

    It looks like a nice prison. And, because this thread is about nitpicking, I believe that is Melanesian and not Polynesian. Although Disney itself might just lump both together with Micronesia as Oceania and call it a day.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    You were eligible under the retiring system, as well. I know some that had DAS given for ADHD. I appreciate that you didn't twist things just for DAS.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Do we know or anticipate if this will increase the number of LLs available per hour of if the idea is to help standby times by straight reducing those going through LL. I'm cynical enough to believe the former and that many standby lines won't actually improve.
