    Is it true?

    Someone told me that there are two classifications of desserts at Disney restaurants. One the dining plan guests receive...and a BETTER version for those paying out of pocket so to speak. For example, if I go to Be Our Guest, The Grey Stuff portion will be larger if I am paying out of pocket...

    Magic Band + Disney Chase VISA + Disney Reward Dollars = Me confused

    In the past upon check-in at the resort, the CM at the desk would put a credit card balance on my "Key to the World" card. I'm assuming they'll do the same with the magic band. I have accumulated a good bit of Disney Reward Dollars and plan on using them to purchase merchandise, snacks, etc...

    FP+ with child swap

    I am getting ready to start making my FP+ selections. I have a family of four. Two children ages 9 and 5. How does child swap work under the current system? Let's say my 5 year old can't ride Rockin' Rollercoaster. In the olden days, I would ride with the oldest boy while the wife would wait...

    Recycled Attraction Features

    A friend of mine and I got into this discussion last night over a couple of adult beverages. I told him that some of the film footage in the Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico was actually originally from "If You Had Wings", the former MK Tomorrowland attraction. First of all, am I correct? Second...

    The family and I are heading to the World in late June. We've already reserved a room in the Contemporary Tower (Lake view). We have two boys, ages 9 and 6. We stayed in the Contemporary (Garden Wing) two years ago and absolutely LOVED that we could walk to and from the MK and take the...

    Make EPCOT that much better by adding...

    Since Disney is all about theming, don't you think it would make sense for there to be some sort of official "entrance" guests pass through as they transition to and from the Future World and The World Showcase? Think about it. If you're in the MK, if you're in the hub and want to go to...

    Why Not a Virtual...

    Since "second life" games are so popular (Minecraft, Warcraft, Sims, etc) why isn't there a game based on the Disney World Resort? Create an on-line virtual reality world of the entire property. Players can experience everything from staying in the resort hotels, visit the parks, ride...

    Do they deserve a presence?

    I reminisce about the older Disney movies that I feel should have some sort of recognition in the theme parks. I grew up watching Disney movies of the '70's and there are some GREAT movies! So, what older movie could/should have SOMETHING to represent them in the parks, and HOW could it be...
