    Buses Going Away or Pay?

    My uncle just returned from WDW. He is a passholder and goes often. He heard from a CM that the bus service between resorts and parks is either going to go away or turn into a pay service early next year. I find this concerning because the free transportation is one of the biggest perks about...

    Kudo's to Disney Customer Service

    Hi all. Just had another fantastic DL trip. I purchased a classic DLR sign for the mancave but, because of its size I had it shipped home. It arrived in a week. I was fortunately enough to be home when it was delivered and saw the UPS man approaching my door with an "L" shaped package. "L" is...

    Short Trip, Short Report

    The wife and I took a 3 day trip to DLR last week. We are AP'ers and always go mid-week. We've stayed at all the Disneyland hotels and always go back to DCR for the accomodations and convenience. This time was no let down. Beautiful room with a slight view of DCA. We flew in early and the room...

    The Cove Bar @ DCA

    With 3 weeks till our next trip I've been researching things to do. Who doesn't? I've found this place, the Cove Bar atop Ariel's Grotto, that has lobster nacho's and fish tacos with a great view of Paradise Pier. I can't get the lobster nacho's out of my head and my constant yammering is...

    An Apology To The Pin Kid

    The wife and I just got back from DLR. I wore my lanyard with all DCA opening day pins. As I'm strolling along I hear,"PINS!" This kid about 10 y.o. comes running up to me wanting to trade. I tried to tell him as best I could that these were all opening day pins and they were older than him and...

    Just Got Back Trip Report

    The wife and I survived another Disneyland adventure. First off we were very concerned and disappointed by the amount of rides on the refurb schedule. We booked a room at the Paradise Pier hotel and received a room upgrade on the 10th floor with a view of DCA! Very nice. PP is a nice hotel BUT...

    Finally Did The, "Walk In Walt's Footsteps Tour!"

    And it was spectacular! Completely worth every cent! We had a small group, one person was actually a DLR employee who added his .02 to the tour (like Walt invented the trash can with the revolving lid so you cannot see trash). Our tour guide Eric was the best. We walked all over the land wearing...

    Has Anyone Done A Disneyland Guided Tour?

    The wife and I consider ourselves disney aficionados. We were married there. Have taken a dozen or so trips there but, we've never done a guided tour. One we've already ruled out is the private tour as it is $350./hr. 6 hour minimum!(ouch) But, the one that looks really fun is the Walk in Walts...

    Is To Much Disney A Bad Thing?

    Here's the deal folks. Fifteen years ago my wife and I were wed in Disneyland and then honeymooned in Disneyworld. We frequent them both as often as we can and have done the cruises and, even produced our own "little souvenir." Now here is where the fairytale turns. Every gift giving holiday we...

    Has Tutto Italia(the restaurant) Opened??

    I ask because we leave in 20 days and I just noticed their menu on Debs site as well. I called to make reservations and guess what? 6:30 or 8:30 only? So obviously word is out and if reservations are full up already its as bad as Canada to get your foot in the door. (Canada has been booked solid...

    Info Needed on CBR?

    Hi all. Just took advantage of the new WDW rates, half of what I paid last year! We usually stay at a different resort every trip with the notion that one day we could write our own travel guide. So, not wanting to do Pop century we elected for CBR, carribean beach resort, which we've never...

    Ever Play CM?

    Have you ever stopped and helped someone out at Disney who was obviously having problems? This happens to me a lot and, I kinda fell like an honorary CM. Standing in line for an ATM in the MK there was a British family in front of me about to beat the machine to death. Having used the machine...
