    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I tend to agree that Avatar land won't be a WWOHP killer alone, but remember that the Fantasyland expansion, the new Avatar land and other minor projects along the way should make a difference and bring people in.

    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Yep, and again a smart business decision since it's made them so much money in merchandising.

    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Quite simply, the movie sucked. This was a pure business decision that they felt had to be done to compete with WWOHP. Do I agree with it, no. Was it smart for business...yes.

    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Yep...and everything Pixar. I think at least Fantasyland is a true Disney expansion.

    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Know what I think is sad from this expansion..it's that Disney has to go to an outside source/third party to come up with an idea to boost attendance in a park. It used to be Disney's own ideas and concepts were enough and people came simply because it was Disney. They lost sight of that and...

    Just returned from WDW and side visit to Universal

    I was there from 11/28 - 12/5 and have to say that the crowd levels were much higher than in years past. On Saturday the 4th Magic Kingdom was insanely busy and it has to be due to the fact that Disney threw in free dining over the holidays. We've been there the week after Thanksgiving in the...

    Waterfront District "Hyperion Wharf" Set to be added to Pleasure Island

    I like the description they're giving 'nostalgic yet modern take on an early 20th century port city and amusement pier' I like it cause it gives the area a solid theme like the parks now.

    MK crowds next wednesday?

    We're planning on going to Magic Kingdom on Wednesday April 14 (visiting family in Sarasota, so only planning one day :dazzle: ) and wanted to know how busy is this time? Being that it's after Easter I'm assuming that it's not as crowded. Does anyone have any past experience? Thanks, Mark

    The Culmination of It All - Tom & Sarah's WDW HONEYMOON Pre-Trip Report

    Tom, I'm just curious. Why did you decide to purchase into the DVC rather than just buying points from a member and having them book a reservation for you? I found someone who helped us with our last 3 trips down. We stayed at Old Key West, Boardwalk and Beach Club all for probably half of...

    Halloween or Christmas time?

    Thanks all for your suggestions. We've been there for Christmas in the past and loved it each time. We never been there during Halloween so thought we would try something different. From what I've gathered, seems that Magic Kingdom is the only real stand out for Halloween while pretty much...

    Halloween or Christmas time?

    Hi all, just wondering which you prefer WDW at Halloween or Christmas? Right now we have a reservation for October of next year but after seeing the new HGTV WDW holiday special we're torn between both now. We've been there during Christmas before and love it but haven't been yet with both of...

    Need some advice for our first day

    Thanks, that's good to know about accepting reservations. I figured that you can only book one room per resident so I'll just make sure to call twice.

    Need some advice for our first day

    Yeah that's what I would prefer to do. I thought I saw something about Florida residents getting discounts on rooms but for the time period we're going I don't think it's offered, at least not yet.

    Need some advice for our first day

    Hi all! A friend of mine set our family up for 2 rooms at the Boardwalk Villas but our reservation starts on Nov 30th and we arrive on the 29th. I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions as to try and book 2 rooms at one of the value resorts or just stay at an offsite hotel for the one...

    No availability?

    I called today and they are totally booked for both lunch and dinner. I'm going to keep trying maybe something will open up. We ate there one time before a couple of years ago so wanted to go again.

    No availability?

    I called a couple of times now to book a lunch or dinner reservation at Le Cellier between Nov 30 - Dec 5 and I've been told it's unavailable. Does anyone have any suggestions as a best time to call to see if there might be a cancellation? I don't suppose this is going to stay booked solid...

    Did I Really Just See That.....in Disney World?????

    LOL, reminds me of what the police did to someone on my block. They came to investigate a disturbance and found a car with the windows open music blaring and it was about 11:30 at night. Police rolled up the windows, took the keys out of the ignition, put them on the dash and locked the car...

    Car rental Question?

    When you bid on priceline, how long before your trip did you submit your request? Right now I have a reservation with Hertz for a minivan for the first week of December for $273 (no credit card info taken). Based on the price you got I'm hoping to get close to that.

    Magical Express vs. paying for a car???

    I tried the ME on my last weekend trip there last year (skipped a rental car since I was alone). I had no problems with taking the ME, the ride was about an hour to All-Star Music. Take this suggestion when using the WDW buses on property. They're great when you're going to one of the four...
