    Cash. Do I need it?

    I feel like this must be somewhere on the boards, but I can't find anything. When touring the parks, can I get away with just carrying my key to the world and no cash? I'd rather rely on the dining plan and charging to the room key if possible, but I assume that I'm not going to be able to...

    Sanaa - who's going?

    With the help of a confused cast member, I made a 5/6 ADR for Sanaa today. She initially couldn't find it in the system, but once she did, we had no trouble, even though I'm not a DVC member. We were initally going to do Boma, but it's all booked up. Since we didn't want to do a 2 credit meal...

    Epcot Center Entrance Fountain

    I had the privilege of watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) on the big screen this weekend, and I noticed that the logos on the scientists' uniforms looked very similar in style to the original Epcot entrance fountain (or possibly even the Star Tours logo). I'd be interested if...

    The role of the TTC?

    In preparation for our trip next week, I wanted to see if anyone had an update on the way that the TTC works. In trips past, if you wanted to get anywhere from a park, you went to the TTC and took transportation from there to another resort or park. We didn't realize this change when we went...

    Obligatory CoP question

    Okay, this won't win the most original post award, but since I'll be in WDW in just two weeks, I've got to ask.... What's going on with my favorite attraction, Carousel of Progress? I was following the threads on this for a long time, but I haven't really heard much since Stitch opened...

    Random transportation: DAK to FortWilderness?

    Okay, this is a completely random one... I'm just working on the day by day schedule for our trip next month, and I just came up with an interesting one. I have never tried to get to Fort Wilderness from Disney's Animal Kingdom. Does anyone have tips on the most efficient way to do this? I...

    Reputation....?....

    Okay I'm trying so hard not to be dumb, but I've been on this board for a couple years and just now started hearing about Reputation. What is it, how do I check it, how do I give it? Does it have something to do the colored circle after your nickname (should I be scared that mine is red?)...

    DVC Ultimate Hopper Flexibility Limits?

    We just made a Vacation Club reservation for the Beach Club Villas and are now wondering about our admission media. We'd like to be able to purchase Ultimate Park Hoppers, but this is our first DVC trip, so we're a little uncertain. 1) Is it possible to add UPH to a DVC reservation? 2) If...

    Any PSs require a deposit?

    I know in general, priority seating is a completely free service, but we are wanting to book for Hoop-Dee-Do Review and I was thinking I read somewhere that the big ones like HDDR, The Spirit of Aloha, and Cinderella's Royal Table required a credit card deposit at booking. Does anyone know if I...

    Digital Camera preferences?

    Well, the next trip is less than a year away, so I'm looking to buy a new digital camera to break in and take to WDW to capture the best possible photos. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Especially for being able to capture the dark nature of rides like spaceship earth, universe of energy...

    Celebration restaurants

    Okay, so we're planning to arrive around WDW in the evening, and would like to eat a meal in Celebration before we stay at a nearby motel and get up early the next day to check in. I've been to Celebration before, but didn't get a chance to eat a meal (did catch the Posh Pooch celebration...

    Carousel of Progress Update?

    Okay, I haven't seen anything recently. Now that crowds are beginning to pick up again for the season, I'm curious. For anyone who's been to WDW lately... is Carousel of Progress running? I know it operates "seasonally" but that's not exactly the most helpful bit of knowledge... Thanks!

    Cirque is taking a (small) break

    Well, we've really been looking forward to checking out Cirque at DD during the first week of June, but when I called for showtimes today, I was told that Cirque is on break from May 23 to June 13 and NO SHOWS WILL BE GIVEN. Hmph! :( :mad: :eek:

    Preferred Fireworks viewing?

    We just booked a Discovery Magic package and I was wondering if anyone had any experienec with one of the options. According to http://www.wdwig.com/discov2002.htm , it mentions that preferred fireworks viewing is available in MK and Epcot and that a voucher is required. Does that mean that...

    Luau length

    Someone mentioned that they sat through a 3 hour Polynesian Luau. I've only been to it once and I was too little to have a clue, but we want to go to it when we head down in a month (as it is included in our Discovery Magic Package as the same price as a meal at say, Pinnochio's Village Haus)...

    Water Pageant

    Any thoughts on the best place/time/day to see the Electrical Water Pageant? I haven't seen it since I was 5 (about 8 trips ago) when we stayed at The Disney Inn, but I really want to see it this June.
