    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    It's worth keeping in mind: this use of points is bad for any exchange in DVC-- staying at ANY Disney hotel on property that's not DVC (but with points) is a bad idea. It's part of "Disney exchange" collection, I think-- and there's a $95 fee included. You can stay at All-Star Sports with DVC...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    As with DVC opportunity to book an early cruise on Wish (requiring points), everyone assumed this was a way for Disney to burn off 2 years of excess points, but this is really crazy.

    Hi kjb101791-- I hardly ever contribute to the WDWmagic boards-- but we're fellow Cincinnatians and I wanted to say hi! I teach at XU (in fact I include Disney in one of my first-year seminars). If you're ever near Xavier, let me know so we can have a Disney lunch! yandell@xavier.edu

    Aulani anyone?

    We love everything about Aulani; congrats for going! Although we love our commando WDW trips, the trip to Aulani seemed like the first relaxing vacation in a long time. The best advice someone gave us was to show up for one of the free tours that includes the lobby (you can use the hand-held...

    Art of WDW now available?

    Does anyone know why the long-awaited Jeff Kurtti book The Art of Walt Disney World just appeared at laughingplacestore.com (for $80!), but doesn't seem to be available anywhere else (amazon, Borders)? I've been looking forward to this book-- but $80? The laughingplace site doesn't seem to...

    new game!

    Here's a game I started with friends for our last plane trip to WDW, and I'm excited to try it out here. The game? "What Abbreviation Comes Next?" Here's an easy example: given these letters, what letter(s) comes next? MS AL FL LS FL ___ The...

    Anyone received the new Imagineering Guide to DL?

    Has anyone received the fourth in the series of Imagineering Guides that came out today? --the Imagineering Guide to Disneyland. What do people think of it? Is it much different from the Guide to Magic Kingdom?

    Is this a Disney copyright violation?

    While I've been in London this summer, I've passed this ice cream truck many times(along with several by the same company) parked on streets near the Globe Theatre. I assume Disney only pursues this big shots (and those closest to home) for copyright violations.

    Yes--this is a great party. My partner and I went last year, and it was great seeing the costumes, the parade (especially) and the atmosphere of the park. We wanted creative costumes, but nothing that would take up luggage space, so I designed some t-shirts as if we were Naboombu tourists. The...

    How to get friends excited for trip?

    I know we've had a lot of discussion about best Disney guides, but before our last trip (taking my parents to WDW for their 45th wedding anniversary), I gave them a copy of Julie and Mike Neal's _The Complete Guide to WDW_. IMHO, there's a not a better book out there for capturing the spirit of...

    Embarrassing Disney Stories!

    Here's my embarrassing story: Last year a friend and I were at the Conservation Station at AK. We were listening to one of the CMs giving a presentation on feeding/cleaning the animals, and I told my friend that the presenter looked a lot like another friend of ours back home: he had the same...

    Help with Disney "blend" words?

    This is my first post-- though I've been reading for a while... I think you all are the best prepared fans I know to help me with this question. I teach a class at Xavier U on history of the English language. We've been talking about new words entering the language, and today I explained a...
