    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    What are the details of the Multimodal ? I see the construction every time I go to the MCO airport and am curious about the project. Last time I flew out was 11/11/18 and I counted about 18 crane booms in the air.

    TSA Pre-Check like system may be coming for Passholders

    I don't think a TSA style system for Disney is necessary. Even though it creates long lines I do like the bag check. It prevents the unstable or stupid sorts from bringing in things that could make it easy to do something crazy, planned or unplanned. I think to get anymore sophisticated in...

    How close are you to WDW?

    57 miles from driveway (Sebring) to Disneyworld Welcome sign, which takes about 90 minutes unless I4 is backed up. We've been Florida residents 11 years and had been annual passholders for about 10 years, but did not renew last year when the new pricing and different plans came out. Just...

    Alligator in rivers of America?

    We live about 70 miles south of Disneyworld and our Fish and Wildlife told us anything under 3 feet they do not remove. We had one smaller in the drainage ditch aside of the road where the kids wait for the bus.

    Charging for coffee??

    You took the words right out of my mouth! The towel thing drives me nuts, and where to hang them to dry (I don't mind reusing them) is another pet peeve of mine, too!

    Big changes coming to Annual Passes

    I just got my letter in the mail today from WDW about the AP changes. The back briefly details the different passes and what they include. BUT - not anywhere is the COST for the passes. Thought that was interesting! Also included in each is a "complimentary magicband". GRRRRRR - I have 14...

    Big changes coming to Annual Passes

    I have always been considered a Disney lover. But the last couple years have been tough to keep that love alive. I have the same situation as you do. DVC since 1997, we live 90 minutes away (moved to be close to Disneyworld) and am a Fl. resident since 2006 and annual passholder. I have zero...

    unused points help

    Thanks for the suggestions but yes, there were banked once already, hence my dilemma. Normally I can use them up during the year but we had a new granddaughter born and then a wedding for my son this summer so my vacation schedule got rearranged. October 1st is my use year begin and I wish it...

    unused points help

    I have 192 points that will expire on September 30, 2015 and I don't expect that we will be able to use them before then. What are the options I might have to avoid just letting them expire? Is selling them to an independent broker the only choice? I've researched it on the DVC website and...

    Osborne Lights Officially Returning for 2015 for 20th and Final Season

    Osborne Dancing Lights are my favorite Christmas display of all. All that early speculation last year of not having them really upset me a lot, so to have them definitely on the schedule puts my happiness level up where it should be!!!! Do they need a specific electrical type permit each year...

    Train refurb in Germany?

    This train display has such potential for attracting many viewers as Unplugged mentioned before me. Train collecting is huge, and I've seen better displays than Epcot's in just Malls at Christmastime by train organizations or enthusiasts! Kudoos to Germany/Disney if they are giving it the love...

    Disney testing allocated seating for Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios next week

    As a few posters have said before me if there are enough attractions open/updated/repaired then there won't be such a crush at the few remaining that are functioning. This goes for all 4 Parks. Our first visit to Disneyworld was in 1984, we are DVC since 1997 and annual passholders, so we have...

    Wilderness Lodge DVC additions - Copper Creek Villas & Cabins

    Are the villas going to be a different floor plan than the Polynesian? I haven't seen the Poly's yet in real life but I'm not sure I like the set-up as portrayed in the advertising.

    Lots of Disney Survey's

    I am DVC and we do a lot of one night stays because we live a 90 minute drive away. For a couple years now I get the same online survey each time we stay - always the same. How's the WIFI and cell phones, how were the restaurants you might have visited at the hotel, did any cast member make...

    Smell of the water...

    If it was early morning maybe it was from the sprinklers? That has a sulfur/rotten egg smell here in Florida. We always know when our neighbors sprinklers are on during the day!

    Tipping

    I've always wondered why a tip is figured as a percentage of the bill at a restaurant if the tip is supposed to be for good service. With that logic I would think that the service should be rewarded (or not) by a tip to the waitstaff regardless of the bill for the "meal". I've had excellent...

    Direct to Room Check-In coming?

    As a DVCer and close Florida resident within 90 minutes driving distance we book short trips (many one night stays) and go often, instead of "normal" 5-7 day vacations. I think I know the checkin procedure better than many cast members at this point, so direct to room would be totally...

    No vacancy

    We are flying back home to Florida and thought it would be nice to take in the Christmas decorations and spend the night at Disneyworld, seeing we are flying into Orlando Saturday, December 13th. My daughter and granddaughter will pick us up at the airport and join us so I looked online to see...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    I haven't read all the 1500 + posts so if this has been asked already I apologize, but my question is how does the real Country of Norway fit into this refurb? Do the countries in WS have to foot the bill for the renovations and their upgrades? And what input do they have on any projects?
