    No gratuity - good or bad for CMs?

    I was just making cultural comparisons. I believe the minimum wage in the UK is far higher than that in the USA. The current minimum is £5.52 ($11 approx) this is for all workers regardless of the job and industry, plus we get free health care which I know is a major cost to US citizens. As...

    No gratuity - good or bad for CMs?

    I always find ‘tipping threads’ very interesting because this is one of the things where the UK and USA do vary quite a lot. In the UK whilst tipping servers is becoming more and more common certainly in larger cities and in finer restaurants, however, it is still nothing like the culture...

    Why doesn't Disney just pay up for HP?

    I agree with you that competition is great for the consumer. However, I don't think a 5th Gate will be the response, but adding extra attractions to the existing theme parks, maybe we'll see a new land or another E-ticket or two. A 5th Gate will cannibalise attendance at the 4 existing theme...

    Pecos Bill New Kiosks

    I too have used them at Taste Pilots grill at DCA. Personally I loved them, however, I'm not sure how it will work with the Dining Plan. One thing to look out for is the incremental sales. We ordered two burgers & fries; it then prompted us for onion rings... 'yeah sure' was our reaction...

    boardwalk

    I fell in love with this place; it has such an amazing location. If you decide to take a trip to the Boardwalk, make sure you have a wonder around the hotel itself as well as experience the restaurants, entertainment etc etc..

    New Footage

    I'm a little dubious about the film, whilst I haven’t seen it; it may be seen as too much of a political statement for some, and perhaps too much of a reminder of the real world rather than the escapism of WDW. However, judging by the comments here, it sounds like the new addition has been well...

    NEW WDW 2006 Attendance Figures!

    I'm not sure if the increases in attendance is purely down to E:E but I bet it's a massive contributing factor To all those Disney pencil pushers out there, it proves that if you speculate you accumulate. Attractions such as Chester & Hester will not draw a big crowed, E:E will. Remember that...

    Top 5 Attractions

    As I’ve not been since 2004 I’m not going to include rides that I’ve not been on e.g. Everest or rides that have been cloned from another park that I have been on e.g. Soarin’. So in no particular order…. Splash Mountain The Tower of Terror Kilimanjaro Safari Test Track Rock’n’Roller Coaster

    Motor Boat Rentals

    YES! Back on our last trip in 2004 we hired a boat. We hired it at the CR and travelled over to the Wilderness Lodge area, River Country around Discovery Island, over to the GF, Poly and MK area. You can cover quite a distance in those little things. They are great fun, make sure to take your...

    everest on the 7th april

    Does anybody think there’s going to be some form of announcement made at the media event? There are an awful lot of rumours flying around. I guess Nemo Musical will be mentioned, but what about the other parks? Something for Epcot’s anniversary? It would be nice to get excited about something...

    Rooms at Disney's Contemporary and Polynesian Resorts Get New Decor

    This is quite old news and has been going on for some time. The Contemporary really needs a new pool though, it looks like it's the worst on property.
