    Trip Report Shortest Retirement in History?

    I have been on the fence for so long about staying at Coronado (hard to chase me out of Port Orleans Riverside or French Quarter). Your pictures are having the effect of a good commercial.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Maybe we need to hold our Magic Bands or phones close, along with a finger, to get the correct green lighting.

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I was looking at the pictures today and it reminded me more of oriented strand boards at first. Must have just been my eyes.

    LED Christmas lights

    So, the LED's are fairly piercing on Disney's garlands and trees. The one thing that also jumps out to me is that, in a photo, the tree takes on a blue-ish look. As if the blues/purples overwhelm the other lights on photos/videos. I noticed it the most when watching videos on Youtube. In...

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    Of course, I'm trying to determine if I will go. If I don't go, I can purchase something fun that I really want. Otherwise, backburner that item and get my February Warm-up going. We have gone to WDW in February for several years and the timing is pretty much dead-on.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    One thing jumps out at me a little. The new Monsters Inc area will introduce yet another dead end area for Hollywood Studios. I guess that the deadend already exists with Mama Melrose at the end but I think crowds will be fighting around each other with the new ride at that end. Not a huge...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Sadly, that was the first thing I thought when I saw the pictures of the new ending.

    Less loud, noisy Value Resort please ?

    Probably depends on time of year but I just returned after staying at All Star Sports and it was very quiet. I was in Building 9, second floor, and I had no noise issues whatsoever. I was also on the side facing the parking lot and not the pool, which helped.

    Trip Report Shortest Retirement in History?

    "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is my only Halloween tradition. Our school played this when I was young (no, not when it first released) and I purchased the DVD many years ago. I still laugh at the jokes and find myself singing some of the songs to myself. We have added the Donald Duck "Trick or...

    Pop Century is no longer a Value Resort

    Sorry. It was truly just a joke. Not a good one but a joke nonetheless. Should have put an emoji on there.

    Pop Century is no longer a Value Resort

    Not if they're a kiwi or dodo. Of course, it didn't work out well for the dodo.

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    Trying to not clock watch but the closer I get the more I watch my countdown.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Completely agree. Again, the Universal Pass really encourages people to stay at a deluxe. I stayed at Royal Pacific just because buying Express Pass separately for my spouse and I would have cost as much as the room itself. It is a great benefit there.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    To me, this was the inevitable step. With UNI having Express Pass as a pay-to-play (unless you stay in their version of a deluxe), I'm sure Disney felt that this was money left on the table and found a way to try and encourage people to stay at a deluxe who may have the funds to pay for these...

    WDW wins real estate tax law suite

    That's the first joke that came to my mind as well.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Why set up spaces to relax and unwind a moment if they are going to bombard the area with loud music?

    does every one get sick at Disney...

    I carry hand sanitizer with me at all times but haven't carried Lysol. When we checked into our room last year, my wife felt the room was dirty. So, I had purchased some Windex and paper towels at Publix already and proceeded to give the room a good cleaning. She thought that she had smelled...

    After hours or no?

    The After Hour Events can be a lot of fun, though. We have done After Hours a few times while staying a week. What we do is not buy park tickets (you can enter earlier than the event) and that way we have an easy resort day and then have fun in the evening. We find that we can ride many of...
