We were given these by a cast member awhile ago. She said they were made from melted down pieces of defunct parades, they were not for sale, and were only meant to be given out to cheer guests up! Does anyone know if that's in any way true, or if they still hand these out?

It was recently posted that Panchitos, at Coronado Springs, was the largest store at any Resort. So, I was wondering what everyone's favorite gift shop might be? I'd cast my vote for the old fashioned 'mercantile' gift shop at Dixie Landings, (Oops! I'm sorry), Port Orleans Riverside. :)

Not sure where to post this, but, it looks like a drastic reduction is being made at Disney's Aulani DVC. Disney's website just announced a new Luau experience to 'celebrate' Aulani's 5th Anniversary. But then on Aulani's website there is no mention of their free Starlit Hui show. It's a...

I was surprised that this gaming system has failed so quickly. It seems that every game section had new characters being regularly introduced. The quality of each seemed several notches above the competition. Sorry to see it go. The Walt Disney Company has released a statement saying that...

CAMBRIDGE, MA, Apr. 1, 2016-- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) today announced the signing of an agreement whereby Disney will acquire MIT, a coeducational university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This unprecedented acquisition of a...

Atlantis to Build a Resort in Ko'Olina? Just saw this article on another forum about Aulani. It would be an interesting addition to Ko'Olina if it does indeed come to fruition: "Atlantis Resorts, a global luxury resort brand that specializes in “entertainment destination resorts,” is likely...

I think that the most interesting and elusive photos are the ones from the early days. We forget how much the Magic Kingdom has literally grown up before our very eyes. I really like this photo that almost defies reality of how bare the views really were when the park first opened. I've...

I just saw the above artist concept of Universal Studios on-site hotel,Sapphire Falls. Maybe it's just my first impression, but, I was immediately reminded of Aulani's grand entrance, as well as obvious design elements from Disney's Polynesian Village. I guess imitation is a sincere form of...

Not a big deal, but, I still miss the special little touches that reminded you that you were staying someplace special. Over the years the soap that greeted you in your Disney Resort had a cheery face of Mickey on the boxes of soap. Mickey's likeness was even 'sculpted' into each hefty bar...

We'll be staying at Bay Lake Tower next month and have heard about the 'scam' notices placed under your door for pizza delivery. Does anyone have a reliable pizza delivery service to recommend? It would also be a big help if they offer 'gluten free' pizza as well. We have someone in our...

We'll be staying at BLT in early October. Our 6 yr. old grandson remembers that one of his favorite things to have on our trip are the Mickey Waffles. We've scheduled Chef Mickeys for breakfast late in our trip. But, Is there a list of locations where we can take him for breakfast, besides...

We'd like to visit Aulani around the 4th of July weekend, but, our home is BLT. Has anyone just returned from this years 4th of July week with any idea if it was sold out? We're hoping for a 2BR, but, have to wait until the 7 month window. If there's no hope, we'll just make other plans...
