    Annual Passholder Parking Issues

    I've been asked for my ID at both Hollywood Studios & The Magic Kingdom over the weekend. Can't say I'm surprised they have started introducing the ID check seeing that so many people are renting out their annual passes on Ebay to allow people to receive free parking during their visits - at...

    Splitsville

    I went there Friday night and thought it was a great place to hang out - $20 per person may be high compared to some places but being from the UK I have to compare it to what I pay back home where prices start at £7 per person for the 1st game and £5 for subsequent games. As there were only 2 of...

    New photopass service/package

    It's going to cost you a further $130 to upgrade as you are losing the $90 discount you got by pre-purchasing i.e. you will end up paying $199 for the Photo CD plus $80 for the Photo Book. I guess you have to consider whether the extra attraction photos are worth losing your $90 discount.

    WDW Wait Times as of 3:40pm EST

    I agree - considering what you pay to get in a 3 hour wait for a single attraction is crazy - if queues are that bad Disney are letting too many people through the gates - but each to their own - As much as I'd love to be there for Xmas & New Year I will never do so because it's money down the...

    Fastpass Return Times

    Personally I feel that whereas the other parks give you the option to pay extra for their FP type service, Disney make everyone pay for the service whether they use it or not which is why Disney tickets cost more than other Florida attraction tickets. If you look at a 3 day Disney ticket...

    Countdown to Fun opening

    BPB would have been replaced due to the cost of performing it, like everything these days, performers cost money. That's why MK has a dull 5 minute parade and AK hasn't changed its parade since the day they opened - simple basic parades are relatively safe (from an accident point of view) and...

    Pixar Pals Countdown To Fun! video

    And I thought the Dreams Come True parade at the Magic Kingdom was bad!! What is it with the short boring parades these days - I can remember when a parade would run for up to 30 minutes so you didn't mind having to wait an hour or more to get your curb side spot but 7 minutes is an insult...

    The Hidden Horror of the Haunted Mansion Queue

    I saw the queue up to 90 minutes just before Xmas with it trailing back to the Liberty Boat entrance but I agree, generally it is no more than 20 minutes.

    Why no new 40th parade for WDW?

    Technically WDW is getting a new parade as a new parade will begin next month at the Studios. A cast member I was talking to last week hinted that Spectro isn't coming back to WDW anytime soon and the current MK daytime parade has been cut yet again due to budget constraints - perhaps they are...

    Shortest trip to DW?

    I flew over from the UK in July - was in Orlando for just 6 days but only spent 2 at WDW - just had to fly over for see the Summer Nightastic events plus SeaWorld after dark - wasn't long enough but it was all I could get off work.

    Frightening Spectro Rumor...

    Personally I think it's good that they rotate the parades from time to time. Don't get me wrong, I love Spectro but also enjoy MSEP even though the music is kind of annoying after a while but IMHO it has better floats. I imagine the question Disney ask themselves is with the high ticket...

    Bad times for SGE

    The only special effect' which worked in the chair when I did the attraction a couple of weeks back was when Stitch jumped from one person to the other - no breathing, no bad smells or any other trick they usually pull was evident - It just didn't seem right. Even the smoke in the transport...

    Believe - are the trainers back in the water yet?

    I was over there a couple of weeks ago and they still weren't back in the water - The Believe show has had a couple of minor modifications as a result.

    Sea World Hospitality House/Budwiser

    I was there last week - just not the same. The pavilion was empty from what I could tell, popped in once to grab a drink and was the only one there. They might as well tear it down and put something useful over there. Who wants to pay $6 for Bud when you used to get it for free. The Sea Garden...

    No car, shuttles from WDW to Universal?

    An alternative to Mears, although more lengthy is to take the 50 Downtown Orlando Lynx bus from TTC, get a free transfer slip and then get off at SeaWorld, use the transfer to get on the 8 International Drive Lynx bus which will take you down International Drive. Get off at Wet n Wild and it's a...

    Sea World 1st visit

    The last SeaWorld report I saw in the press stated that the Believe show had been modified slightly as the trainers were not allowed in the water with the whales - whether this is still the case or not I do not know but if so, it will make it a different show as the highlights were always the...

    October or November-when is the best time to go?

    I imagine the true answer depends on exactly what you want out of the holiday and how long you are going for. I've been in October, November & December in the past and there wasn't much of a difference between the 3 - if anything all you can say is the later you go, the cooler it becomes but...

    MSEP, MK Perimeter fireworks, heading to WDW this summer - Summer Nightastic

    I hope this proves to be a huge success and Disney extend it through to the end of the year so I can see it in December - I'm starting to get bored with the same shows year in year out i.e. Wishes & SpectroMagic, don't get me wrong, they are great shows but it's always the same - perhaps WDW &...

    November or December

    I always visit in December and apart from the usual Brazilian crowds chanting their way around the parks wearing neon bright clothing (which I think you get most of the year from what I've read), I've never had a problem with crowds, I think the longest I queued in December 2008 was 20 minutes -...
