    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I think the issues with the barges were knowable, if not obvious, in a reality-based evaluation of this proposal from the start. At the very least knowable in a reality-based engineering and visual design review. I can't believe this ever went forward. The five barges are so ugly and huge...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    The barges are horrible and ruin Epcot's atmosphere. I'm rarely a complainer, but I posted this over a year ago on a different thread and I feel this even more strongly now that the barges have been there for a while: Now the show itself requires specific lagoon viewing locations to properly...

    Theme Park Think Tank with Len

    I just found this thread after listening to this Tomorrow Society episode. I am 1000% in agreement with Len's comments re: the Harmonious barges. I'm a big big pixie-duster, spend lots of $$ at Disney, and I take most changes in stride. But the barges are atrocious. Perfectly manicured...

    Pop Century Room Rehab

    Yeah, I'm just hoping the actual rooms don't match these photos... haha! I need to see some pics of the actual finished product before I fully judge whether I'd like to stay in these rooms. Plus I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel room with laminate floors before... I'm wondering if...

    Pop Century Room Rehab

    I'm awaiting photos of these new rooms as I plan my November trip. I always stay at Pop but I don't like the new room concept from the limited info available. Trying to give the benefit of the doubt, meanwhile I hope Disney releases photos asap so those of us booking stays can make an informed...

    Pop Century Room Rehab

    I would love to see some more photos -- I agree, maybe I'll feel better about it if more photos emerge really showing the space! I'll still keep an open mind while waiting to see more. And maybe these photos don't accurately represent the finished product. Still, I just personally don't like...

    Pop Century Room Rehab

    These new rooms are aesthetically sterile and cold-looking, and not at all a warm, cozy, calming space I'd want to come back to after a long day in the parks. I did stay in Art of Animation family suite once, so I get the concept of the murphy bed. It worked within the layout of that AoA...

    Welcome to the all-new WDWMAGIC

    Did you try my fix in post #203? I am not at liberty to update my OS beyond Windows 7 Professional on my work machine, but reinstalling Roboto worked for me. You have to make sure you're installing the new January 2015 Roboto, not an old version. I downloaded it directly from Google Fonts...

    Welcome to the all-new WDWMAGIC

    Yes, I have tinkered with it a lot. No luck! Thanks, though. I don't expect you to be able to fix this, I just thought I'd see if I was missing something obvious! Thanks again. EDIT - I fixed it! Apparently Google released an update to the Roboto font in January. I have Roboto installed...

    Welcome to the all-new WDWMAGIC

    Hi! That screenshot was from firefox 38.0.5 (up to date). Also looks bad in the latest ie. Chrome is better. I am on Windows 7 Professional. For what it's worth this is not unique to your website, so it might be my issue, but I'm not the only one with the issue (lots of people have this...

    Welcome to the all-new WDWMAGIC

    The new design looks great! The font is rendering quite badly for me on windows (it's fine on a mac and iphone). See screenshot. Is the font Roboto? Roboto always renders badly for me on windows. Most Google fonts render badly for me on Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions? (I'm on a...

    Take or Leave?

    Bring a lightweight jacket. Bring a small travel umbrella. I am surprised how many people are suggesting not to bring them! I lived in Florida for years. In the summer it is often freezing INDOORS while hot outdoors. The A/C is cranked so high you are instantly freezing. Without a jacket I...

    Interesting Disney Parks Survey Question I got Today - Tiered Ticket Pricing by Season

    Bumping your entire vacation to the higher tier price if any days on your vacation are a higher tier is not something that hotels or restaurants normally do. This would be incredibly annoying and makes the tier system seem disingenuous. Even if the price difference were (relatively) small, the...

    Disney announces thirteen new tenants heading to Disney Springs

    I am a huge Lilly Pulitzer fan, and if they offer a Disney-themed Lilly print in this new store, I will go bananas and probably buy it out. Lilly is known to create special prints to be sold only in special stores. This would be great. Given the recent frenzy over the Lilly for Target limited...

    Entry to the Disney Springs West parking garage to be temporarily restricted due to construction

    Thanks @LL2WDW ! Perfect info. I am going before noon on a weekday. So looks like I might have options, if I'm lucky.

    Entry to the Disney Springs West parking garage to be temporarily restricted due to construction

    Can you explain how to get into the parking garage this week, if one is driving eastbound (essentially) on Buena Vista Drive? (I will be turning right onto Buena Vista Drive from Victory Way... heading so eastward on BVD to Downtown Disney.) Are there other parking lots closer to the...

    Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Oh my gosh, you are right! I just checked the menu on the DIsney website, and there it is. THANK YOU for this info! I wonder if it was there when I was at AK in february? I packed my own lunch because there was nothing in the park I really wanted (other than a dole whip). Anyway -- great...
