    D-Tech/On Demand/ whatever the current name is/customised phone cases

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me what Samsung phone cases they currently offer for customisation or indeed just generally sell. (Could be a crucial deal breaker as to what phone a relative upgrades to lol)

    A question about wheelchair rental

    Renting a wheelchair only really takes a few minutes to do. If you’re getting an ECV it takes a touch longer because there’s an extra little bit of paper to sign regarding liability etc. I’ve always known them to be open for as long as the park is (maybe minus a short period of time right before...

    Does the singer in Voyage of the Little Mermaid lipsynch?

    I heard a family debating this in the park once. If the vocals sound the same each time you go it’s because people are doing their job right and as someone previously said, the easiest time to tell that it’s live is when someone is slightly under the weather. Related note: at least 2 Nemos have...

    Is everything in Satuli Canteen in Avatar land spicy?

    Just a heads up, although the cheeseburger pods are now only listed as a kids menu item you can request the adult meal version (it’s just not listed on the app)

    Online check-in vs. Magical Express check-in

    Online check in literally takes all of about 2 minutes to do, especially if they already had your card details. Back in January we did a split stay so did online check in while both arriving via magical express and making our own way. The main difference is your arriving via ME you’re not asked...

    News Walk Around the World Bricks to be removed around the Magic Kingdom and TTC

    No they don’t. US shipping only. TBH that’s probably the thing I’m most annoyed about. Especially as they said the replicas would only be available for a limited time. Doesn’t give anyone international much time to get one.

    Totally lost in which dining plan to select--help!

    Back in January my sister and I did the deluxe plan on an 11 night stay. We had never done any of the dining plans before (partly because we had always previously qualified for some kind of discount AP, CM etc). We opted for the plan for several reasons: - not having to think about money. Most...

    mine ride for BIG PEOPLE..

    I rode this during previews and I was worried before I got on. When I go to universal I either cannot ride or it is a very tight squeeze. (On a side note I have found universal team members to, in general, be quite rude and insensitive and lacking team communication when dealing with this...

    I dont believe this!!!!!!

    I'm currently in a love/hate relationship with the new test track. There are certainly A LOT of improvements. In particular to the queue area and post show. The ride itself occasionally didn't make sense though. It said that it was testing something (ie mixed terrain) but there was no sign of...

    Paper Straws?

    I hate to break it to you but those straws aren't paper. They're made from potato!

    Wild Africa Trek

    I did the Trek in the early afternoon last summer and really enjoyed it. I personally didn't find the heat to be too much of an issue. The Trek is split into two sections. The first half is walking through various terrains and over high "unstable" bridges (they are perfectly safe and you are...

    Carrying a bobble bottle around...

    I might be missing something but why would you feel awkward about asking for water at a quick service location? Personally If I'm carrying anything around the parks with me I use one of those small drawstring backpacks. They can just be thrown in the suitcase without adding any bulk and can...

    What to give Cast Members?

    Personally whenever I do a job the best thing you can do to show your appreciation is just a simple thank you. I did a university tour the other day and one of the prospective parents said something to me that I didn't recognise then he said "that's thank you in Portuguese". The comment...

    Another Disney "princess" movie....

    Haven't Disney Feature Animation openly said they're not making princess movies anymore? Personally, I welcome the fact that Pixar are moving away from their male dominated films. As for marketing only being allowed for female films I'd have to disagree. All the Pixar films have been well...

    Mission Space (Intense Version): Have You Ever Gotten Sick?

    Up until last summer I had only ever done the orange version. Can't say I thought that the green version was any less 'nauseating' but it's the non-spinning stuff that bothers me more about the ride. I also did the orange version straight after indulging in a kitchen sink. Didn't feel ill at...

    EPCOT to Hollywood Studios

    It really depends on where you are and where you want to get to. I've found that walking is quicker than the boat but there's not much in it so if there's a wait I walk and if not I'll often catch the boat. As for the bus. If you're in WS or the back of FW (or want to get there) then the...

    Old Key West - Building request

    What you mean by a 'good' location depends on what your priorities are. If you just want to be next to a bus stop then that's the request I would put in. If you want to be near a quieter pool then I would request being near Old Turtle Pond. If you want to be near the...

    Jealous sometimes of First Timers

    I was with some first timers (all aged 18-22) this summer and we went on the monorail and we were chatting away and all of a sudden they started screaming because they were seeing the castle for the first time. There were some similar priceless reactions when they saw the parades and characters...

    People Do Like Downtown Disney

    I love DTD and have loved it throughout my many years of visiting WDW. I confess though that until last summer I'd never properly explored the West Side (beyond AMC/Virgin/DQ/PH), I'd walked through it but never taken the time to go into the shops and explore (mostly because the people I was...
