Hi everyone -- Any tips for transit from the Treehouse Villas to Typhoon Lagoon? Going this morning so quick reply appreciated if possible :-)

Two years ago I got my first "real" camera (a Canon rebel) after using only point-and-shoots prior to that -- my recent trip to WDW (last week) gave me a chance to try taking some better-than-a-snapshot WDW photos. In the meantime I had come across and become a fan of the photos of Tom Bricker...

Here's a grab bag of observations from our last trip. We spent five days in the parks, two in Epcot and one in each of the other three. Missed the water parks this time, unfortunately. General comment: for all the TDO anti-love on these boards, much of which is, I think, warranted, WDW still...

I was last on KS in 2000 or 2001 -- let me know if this is a quirk of my faulty memory, but the environment seemed vastly more impressive this time -- can anyone confirm this? I don't remember the savanna-like open space being so breathtaking -- perhaps the trees have grown since then? Perhaps...

Just back from 5 days in the parks. We had a great time and it was my longest and most thorough WDW trip in something like 18 years. We heard Voices of Liberty on Thurs 6/14 and WOW did they knock it out of the park. For some reason we hadn't heard them before. We won't miss them again! A...

Planning question -- any thoughts on hopping over to Wilderness Lodge from MK for dinner? I'm not crazy about the MK dining options and am curious to see WL anyhow (I've never been). Has anyone tried this? Is it feasible? Boat vs. bus?

Hi all -- Quick question -- I had heard WDW was going to start enforcing fastpass end times strictly -- are they doing that yet? We're off to WDW next week. Thanks in advance.

Excellent interview rebroadcast today on NPR with Lee Unkrich and Michael Arndt discussing Toy Story 3. I caught it in the car on the way home. It's from Terry Gross's show Fresh Air. The interview was conducted in Oct 2010...

Hi everyone -- This is an amusing incident from our trip last June. I've shared with friends, who enjoyed it, so I thought I might pass it on the WDW/m crowd. Photo to follow. ***** We witnessed something odd at lunch today. We were sitting outdoors in Frontierland snapping up an...

Check out these wicked cool one-person monorail pod prototypes. http://shweeb.com (To be clear, this company has no connection with WDW or WDI.) Imagine zipping from AKL to MK in one of those. Jeez would that be a blast.

Not sure this got on the WDW magic radar screen: "Parfums Givenchy opens at Epcot -- its first and only U.S. store" http://attractionsmagazine.com/blog/2010/09/23/parfums-givenchy-opens-at-epcot-its-first-and-only-u-s-store/ Seems newsworthy.

Dear well-informed people: Thinking a little bit about the WDW bus system. I heard somewhere (can't remember where) that the real bottleneck in bus transit systems is at the door (or perhaps two doors), since it slows down loading/unloading so much. Trams (like open parking-lot trams) don't...

Tweaking Soarin' is probably dead last on TDO's list, since everyone and their grandma seems pleased as punch with it already. My own gripe with Soarin' is that it's really Soarin' over California, which has very little to do with Epcot or The Land more specifically. This is part of my larger...

Hi all -- Here's a little armchair queue engineering. Doubling Dumbo (as per the FLE) sounds like a good idea, since the ride is a must-do with many little ones, and families get stuck in the line for a long time. I think it was about 60 minutes when I was at MK this past June. But here's the...

Hi all -- I'm new here and I'm enjoying reading these discussions and soaking up the information. Thanks! A question about JII. I was at Epcot recently with my wife & daughter (3) -- neither had been before, and I myself had not been since, who knows, 8 years or so ago. Anyhow, I had not...

Dear well-informed people: Does anyone know what's happening during the TL closing this fall/winter? BB for that matter? All best -

Greetings all. Just back from a short WDW trip at the end of June. HOT but fun. I have a topic that's undoubtedly been discussed before but I'm curious what others think. It seems like Epcot as a whole would be much improved by a bona fide E ticket attraction in the World Showcase. Maelstrom...
