I have always thought that the carousel was named "Cinderella's Golden Carousel," but the other day, I noticed the sign in front of the queue naming it "Prince Charming Regal Carousel." Has this always been the name or was the name changed at some point? Also, is it spelled 'carousel'...

Is it possible to buy tickets to Blizzard Beach/Typhoon Lagoon a day or two ahead of the day you want to go? If so, do they sell them at guest relations or the hotel concierge counter, or would we have to drive over to the water park entrance to get the tickets? To explain: We have APs that...

My teenage daughter was given her choice of restaurants for lunch in Epcot for her birthday next month. She has chosen Coral Reef. I know the restaurant gets mixed reviews on here, and this will probably be the only time we eat there, so I wanted some suggestions on what to order. There...

We're headed down later this month (yay!), and bringing a friend with us. He needs to buy a multi-day park hopper. We're planning to drive down from Ocala in the early morning to spend the day at MK. Also, we'll be checking in to the GF later in the day, so we're planning to just park in the...

I love Mickey waffles, but the only place I've ever eaten them is at character breakfast buffets. So, I have two questions: 1) Do they serve them at the non-buffet (ie, family style) character breakfasts like O'hana and Cinderella's Royal Table? 2) Do they serve them at any breakfasts...

In planning for our upcoming trip later this month, I was thinking about trying something new.... Usually, I try to go to the "Best Parks" recommendations on TouringPlans. Usually we have pretty good success, but sometimes it's a bust. However, on this trip I was thinking about going to...

Unfortunately, not Beatles related... but I'm trying to help Mr. Eagle figure out something that's been bothering him for a while.... His first trip to WDW was in the late 70s when he was 11 years old. They stayed at Ft. Wilderness, and attended Hoop Dee Doo. He also (apparently) attended...

I've noticed that the calendar for DHS has been updated for May. DHS was originally scheduled to close at 9pm on several dates, with a F! performance at 9pm. However, now the calendar lists that the park will stay open until 10pm, with an additional F! performance at 10:30. How does that work...

So, two weeks ago today, the Eagle family went to Magic Kingdom, and as we approached BTMRR, we were asked if we "had time" to be extras in a new special about WDW that was being filmed for the Discovery Channel. Well my answer was, "Of course!" So, we were filmed (along with a train-full of...

Which day would you say is the best for attending a Star Wars Weekend? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Why?

Just back from a week at the World. I thought I'd report on how we came out using TIW vs. what we would have spent/received on the regular DDP (1 TS, 1 CS and 1 snack per day) We have the TIW card, and it has now paid for itself ($75 investment back in Sept.) since we've already used it on two...

I noticed last night that the cost of a club level room at AKL is the same price as a Savanna View Bunk Bed room for our travel dates in May. This seems strange, as the Disney website states that club level rooms offer a savanna view and are available with bunk beds. So it seems I could pay...

I didn't see this posted yet..... The new episode of Cake Boss tonight (Monday, Feb 8) features WDW. The guys from Carlo's bakery go to WDW and have to make a cake in the Disney kitchens, using the supplies they have at Disney, instead of their own supplies. It looks funny. I've already set...

We have a friend from southern England who has always called a frothy beverage made with half cider/half Guinness a "Snakebite." When we go to Rose & Crown, they call half cider/half Tennant's a Snakebite, and the cider/Guinness drink a "Black Velvet." What gives? BTW & FYI: even though...

Les Chefs de France -- ate here on Sunday for lunch. I had been more excited about this meal than any other... because I wanted to see Remy. Somehow -- I'm not sure how I managed to miss this -- but somehow I did not realize that Remy is not at Chefs on Sundays! I was crushed! Oh well, just...

Just wanted to provide a few notes about our TS dining experiences the last few days of December.... Hoop Dee Doo -- our first time here. Really fun time. I thought the food was good, especially considering that they have it all hot for every table at the exact same time. This is an...

We are planning to drive over from WDW property to Tampa to attend a football game in Raymond James stadium (Bucs stadium). The game begins at 11 am, and we want to be walking into the stadium around 10:00 - 10:15 am. Traffic will be minimal commuter-wise, because it's a holiday. So, the...

I've looked through all the threads in this pin trading forum for the past year and couldn't find any info. on this..... My kids want to buy the green pin trading book that Disney sells (some of the larger pin kiosks in the park sell it). However, the latest version (6th edition) is from 2007...

There is a thread on this in the news and rumors section, but thought I would post here on the trip planning section..... Up to 45% discount now out for passholders. Code is OTA. I just saved even more on our January trip, switching from the 40% Disney Visa discount, to this new 45% discount...

I just got off the phone with DRC. I received an email PIN offer (my first! hooray!) for -- get this -- December 25 through January 2. It's for 30% off room rates at deluxe resorts. I saved over $370 on our upcoming trip (we are staying room only, and she said the dining plan can't be added to...
