I actually miss the original daily opening for Epcot. On a visit in 1988, we arrived early to the turnstiles, and got to hear it, and liked it so much we came back early the next day just to experience it again - and it was just a basic announcement with music. It was the original "We've Just...

One advantage to the Casitas is that they have 3 and 4 story buildings so on the upper floors you can have a nice view of other landmarks on the WDW property. From the walkway in front of my 4th floor room and partly from my window you could see the Swan and Dolphin, Tower of Terror, and some...

A couple of advantages to having conventions there: it didn't seem as busy during the late nights when I would get in from the parks as most meeting goers were either at the bar or already getting to bed, plus during the day when I came back to the hotel, the pools were nearly empty as opposed...

I stayed at Coronado in 2005, and honestly could not understand the negative comments I had seen online about it. It's a beautiful resort, well located (only far from Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney), and was very relaxing. I thought the fitness center was exceptional for the type of hotel...

In any service related business, more people make an effort to complain about something negative that happened to them than those who make an effort to tell about a good experience. Also, it is strange that many people who complain find it necessary (whether intentional or not) to embellish...

I enjoyed my stay there in May 2005. They also have the most elaborate spa and fitness center of any of the economy or moderates. The landscaping is fantastic and as others have said, it helps to make the LONG walks more enjoyable. The size of the resort made it feel like you actually were at...

Live music in the streets is one thing I loved about Downtown Disney in California. It really created a great atmosphere. It's good to see that they are bringing the same concept to Florida. I always felt that it lacked something at night, especially on the West side. The original area...

I'm biased, but I would say Indianapolis might have slightly cheaper fares than St. Louis, depending on the airline. When I lived in the Chicago area a few years ago, it was much cheaper to drive down to Indy & park my car with my family than to fly out of Chicago. Plus I've hated the St...

I'm not sure I would rely on that travel website again that had negative reviews of this hotel! This is one of my favorite hotels in the U.S. - not just WDW. It is a vacation from your vacation. You could forget you are in central Florida. It it relaxing, beautiful, incredibly themed (right...

Here is the Sound of Magic site. It's one of the better ones. Like the previous poster said, it isn't updated often, but it does have a lot of cool stuff - especially EPCOT tracks. http://www.soundofmagic.com/menu.htm

I saw the parade in 2005 at California Adventure and thought it was fun. The high energy and activity make even the most blase' folk stop and at least watch and smile. It's a nice addition to the studios. Good marketing synergy too with the opening of Toy Story Mania! There are many parade...

Not to digress too far from the topic, but what did parents do with their toddlers back in the 70's and 80's before the use of strollers at theme parks was so over utilized that we must have enormous parking lots for them at many attractions?? Strollers have become the bane of my existence...

Well said.

Echoing most of the posts: Splash Mtn and Big Thunder, plus the "people mover" and when it existed, the skyway was always awesome at night.

Artists Point is an awesome dining choice. Very sophisticated yet it still feels relaxed and comfortable. The menu seems adventuresome, but not over the top crazy. I had tried to get the recipe for the lemon taragon broth that accompanied the fruit sorbet dessert, but I never receive the...

Ok, in 2000 when I first saw the Legacy monuments, I was underwhelmed, but still attempted to buy a tile anyway - of course I was there when the system was down for over a week due to someone hacking the LAL website and gaining access to information. So, I had to buy one in 2005 on my next...

I too tried to tape it on a few occasions, but always had someone complaining loudly in the background about "oh there's no way I'm standing for a 20 min movie!" or "why cant I sit....etc." or some kid arguing, some adult ignoring the preshow and talking about what they were doing later, etc...

I agree with the earlier post that it's apples and oranges. I love the atmosphere at DTD Disneyland, especially with all the fountains, landscaping, outdoor dining, convenience to the parks and LIVE MUSIC! At WDW - I love the lakeside setting and vast variety of things to do - DisneyQuest...

You can go to the following websites: amctheatres.com moviewatcher.com movietickets.com Both AMC and MovieWatcher will simply end up being a link to movietickets.com, but unless you know the zip code info, go to amc first, find the Pleasure Island theatre under the locations drop down menu...

The Coronado Springs has a business center in the convention/meeting area of the hotel and it has packing supplies and boxes, as well as Fedex & UPS forms and pick up.
