    Less loud, noisy Value Resort please ?

    To be quite honest, it is an utter crap shoot. All of the value resorts use nearly identical construction methods and soundproofing. All you can do is request a room away from the pools, stairs, elevators, vending machines, etc. However, none of that will matter if you have a noisy neighbor.

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    The barriers are more about keeping people away from the edge of the water vs trying to contain alligators. Gators will climb fences so they are a deterrent at best. Gators are ambush predators. They wait at the edge of the water and go after what they perceive as prey when it is at the water's...

    Likelihood of Tables in Wonderland returning.

    I did not care for the automatic gratuity either, but I understood why it was implemented. A fairly large chunk of TiWL members were tipping based on the discounted total and that cut into the server's tips by roughly 20%. I never noticed a drop in service quality after auto gratuity was added...

    Likelihood of Tables in Wonderland returning.

    Ahh...the good old days. DDE in the early days made it to where we did not hesitate to eat at TS restaurants 2-3 times per day. But that was before the dark times...before the empire.;) Some of the other benefits... It was good for up to a party of 10 for a single card and 20 if you and your...

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    Sounds like a sanitary sewer backflow preventer is in order.

    Question about finding a good agent to help us plan Disney trip!

    There are pros and cons to that. When you are in charge of your trip you are responsible for keeping track of promotions and rebooking your reservation, you have to make dining reservations, you have to deal with cancelations, etc. When I book a trip with my KK agent, I typically send one...

    Question about finding a good agent to help us plan Disney trip!

    No, but I do want questions like "What's your personal experience with Cinderella's Royal Table? Everyone says to do it, but I just don't see the appeal." answered honestly.

    The short answer is yes.

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    Florida does something similar. Most coastal and low-lying homes will be built in a similar fashion to your son's house but FBC does allow the use of breakaway walls for the first level. The FBC is fairly robust in terms of wind mitigation. Everything must be clipped from the roof all the way...

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    It clocks in at roughly 1/2 a mile. By comparison, it is about the same distance between the Epcot entrance and the Mexico Pavilion.

    At WDW, and I'm Sick

    Not everyone takes the entire bottle as instructed. My wife is infamous for this. I am pretty sure I have 1/2 a bottle of every antibiotic known to man floating around my medicine cabinet.

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    I used the ever-loving crap out of the one on the Magic. I started walking an hour a day about 5 weeks ago and the last thing I wanted to do was break that newly formed habit.

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    I did not see the first fly until I sat down with food. It was a constant battle for the next 10 minutes to avoid investing "extra protein". This puts a fair dampener on the day when eating is one of only three things on your itinerary. I have used simple chemical fly traps with good success...

    Will ANYTHING ever happen to Discovery Island?

    The Isle of Myst was also a former blue-sky idea. https://www.cbr.com/myst-walt-disney-world/

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    We were at Serenity which was the adult only beach. The flys did not appear as bad as some of the videos I watched of the opening and the weeks that followed but it was still and issue and I am from Florida and rather use to bugs. I do not believe so, but I could be wrong. I saw several signs...

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    Just got back from Lighthouse. My brief opinion is below. Flys are still an issue that needs to be solved. They don't appear to be as bad as the day one videos but they are still an issue. The menu is a little lacking. I did not go hungry, but there was nothing there that really wowed me. The...

    Will ANYTHING ever happen to Discovery Island?

    I am surprised no one has considered that Disney might have discovered that after 25 years of operation, DI was an absolute nightmare to build, run, and maintain, and shutting it down was the only logical decision. It might also explain why every proposal for the island since its closure has...

    Will ANYTHING ever happen to Discovery Island?

    Why would a company spend 100 times if not more the cost to develop an 11.5 acre island when it has thousands of acres available that can be developed at a fraction of the cost with zero of the logistical, infrastructure, or ADA issues? Developing Discovery Island is at best a...

    Do you think Disney will ever make a really impressive playground again?

    Considering that they have either bulldozed or have plans to bulldoze nearly every playground that has ever existed in WDW, I am going to go with no.
