    Pandora Preview

    We did it from 9:00 - 11:00 AM on Saturday 12 May 2017. It was fantastic. There were not a lot of people there and we got to ride both attractions. BTW the Flight of the Avatar ride is Wicked Awesome! They offered us a fast past for the ride when we went thru the entrance to Pandora. If...

    Character Signed T-Shirts on Disney Cruise

    Good Day All, My beloved wife and I went on a Disney cruise in 2012. At that time you were able to give guest services a t-shirt and markers at the beginning of the cruise. At the end of the cruise they would return the shirt signed by Disney characters. Does anyone know if the Disney cruise...

    How to choose a home villa

    To respond to the question asked of me above, I consider The Animal Kingdom Lodge to include both the Jambo House and Kidani Village. The entire Kidani Village is a DVC resort whereas the DVC portion of the Jambo House is limited to the 5th floor only. When it was determined that there would...

    How to choose a home villa

    Please all me to weigh in here. I have been a DVC member since 1997. We have 2 Home Resorts, Boardwalk Villas and Animal Kingdom Lodge. I have heard this debate about where to buy in person and on the web. In my humble opinion you buy into where you want to stay. In reality the slogan for...

    Color Me Shocked and Happy

    I was able to get into Bay Lake Towers in a Dedicated 2 Bedroom with a Theme Park view for 5 nights at the 7 month window. We will be visiting in May 2016 and I am surprised that it was so easy. I had expected to get wait listed. I thought that Bay Lake Towers was very popular because it is on...

    Rides That Broke Down

    My family got stuck on Kali River Rapids right at the top of the big drop. The flames stayed on for a while and it got really hot. They ultimately had to drain all of the water from the ride and walk us out. We went down the hill in the back of the ride. They gave us a Fast Pass for later in...

    Most Over Rated Restaurant At WDW.

    I certainly agree that Le Cellier is highly overrated. I would trace the original excitement to the fact that when it was a 1 table service restaurant on the DP you could get a steak for lunch. In my opinion the most overrated restaurant is Narcoossee's. Back in the day (circa 1990) it...

    Disney Cruise FAQ's

    Hilton Head ?

    We have stayed at Hilton Head 3 times now. It is very relaxed. There is a gate to get onto the island, but once on the island you do not have to produce a room card. The gate to the island is for cars. If you are walking onto the island there is no gate. If you go to the beach house a card...

    Best Beer in the World

    Since this is a beer thread I would like to ask about the price of beer please. My last visit was in May 2010 and the price per beer on property was $6.00 each. That was in the restaurants and pool bars. Has the price gone up since then? I will be visiting in September and would like to...

    Any Suggestions???

    Allow me to suggest either Dolphins in Depth at the Living Seas or the Epcot Segway Tour. My wife and i found both to a blast. PS. Besides getting in the water with the dolphins the neatest part of that experience was getting to see the backstage areas of the Living Seas.

    Housekeeping

    I have stayed at the AKL and BWV many times as a DVC member. Housekeeping has always been more than amenable to changing a trash and towl or full service to a different day. I have never had a need to purchase additional housekeeping services.
