    BTMRR refurb

    Does anyone have any photos or video of the effect? I was there in Dec and didn't see any scrim or anything but I don't really remember the falling rock effect from before so i don't know where to look. I actually think that there was a black tarp for my last visit in 2008 I'm curious about what...

    Avatar 2 and 3 Delayed??? The Effect on Avatarland at WDW...

    Can we EVER discuss anything about the Avatar land without getting into "Avatar stinks" territory? We've heard it before. It's not as good as Disney, Disney should do more with its own franchises. Why isn't there more Lion King? Avatar grossed billions, adjusted dollars, blah blah. it's been...

    Avatar 2 and 3 Delayed??? The Effect on Avatarland at WDW...

    I'm a little worried about the opposite, actually. Will people still care about Avatar in 4 years? I saw the move in the theater and I can't really recall the details to be honest. Unless the new movie is really amazing and huge and something totally new AND marketed well. I'm afraid it will be...

    Yeti

    I agree it's still a great coaster. DH and I rode it 6x in one day last month. I came off smiling and laughing every time, ready for another ride. I was however, at the time, wearing my DiscoYeti t-shirt. I think it's a shame that so many of the ride's effects, including and especially the...

    Passport to Disney World’s Future....

    Oh dear! This is clearly a mistake, but I really can't stand the move to "Disney Parks" on everything. I know I'm in the minority of this but I kind of preferred the Zazu/Iago version of Tiki room. It was the first one I ever saw and I found the new/old version to be kind of boring. At least...

    10 Of My Ideas

    These all sound like fun. I think Aladdin is definitely underrepresented at WDW. The Cave of Wonders would make a great coaster

    Hitchhiking Ghosts?

    I don't mind the new ghosts. Out of 3 rides (I can't believe we only did HM 3x this trip)..the interactive effect only worked once though. I really have a soft spot for the original ghosts. I think the genius was in its simplicity and I felt it was definitely more convincing precisely...

    Ticket Prices - How Much Is Too Much?

    Thinking about it in terms of raw dollars I already feel like it's a LOT of money, but thinking about it in terms of per-day cost, and how much a day at a Disney Park is worth to me, I think they could increase it quite a bit and I'd still buy. If course it would be esier with the payment plan...

    The One Resort That Will Always hold That SPECIAL spot in Your Heart! YOUR FAVORITE R

    All Star Music. It was the first resort we stayed at, and we stayed there when we got engaged. We've been there several times so it feels like "home."

    Likelyhood of a September AP Room-only discount?

    Value season is most likely going to be cheaper when the discounts come in. There usually are discounts available in September, just keep calling anc checking online to call as soon as they come out. What I don't know is how discounts apply at DVC properties. If I were you I would look into...

    A couple questions about the WDW anniversary buttons

    Definitely wear it. They don't ask for a marriage license. We went to WDW around our 5th dating anniversary and we wore them. I also wore a "HAppy Birthday" button all week in December even though my birthday had been in April since it was a birthday present trip. Enjoy!

    What is up with these CM's?

    On face, it sounds ridiculous to me. Bus service to the All Stars is not the best, but it's never taken 90 min to go anywhere direct. That having been said, the rule of thumb is to leave 60-90 minutes to get to a destination. If CMs are told this, then that's what they will repeat. I've...

    Sorcerer Mickey returns to Fantasmic

    Awesome! Saw it last week w/o Sorceror Mickey and it was not the same. I LOVE Fantasmic! I think it's one the best things at WDW and I hope it never goes away

    Ticket Prices - How Much Is Too Much?

    The ticket price is is one part of the overall cost. We are AP holders. This year, we'll have paid $1100 between the two of us or $550 each for Minimally 16 days in the parks, maybe 20. So that's only $27-35 per day. That's not bad. When I look at a Disney vacation i honeslty look at room prices...

    Hidden Memories

    I wouldn't count on anything still being there when you get back. They're meticulous about that. Last week we were there (and I wonder if this was a Pop Warner thing), and there were hundreds of hair bands at the top of EE by the broken track..hundreds! The very next morning they were gone!

    PhotoPass photo quality

    Agreed. It's not going to make the picture-taking better. In the past I've had great pics of us in front of the castle at night where we, the partners statue and the castle looked great (you need a longer exposure for this) but most of the ones I got now are exposed for us and the castle is...

    Problem - Guests on SSR busses from theme parks to DTD

    That really stinks. I would hope that if they are telling people to do this that they are increasing the buses on the route accordingly, especially in the evenings.

    Potential New Member with Several Questions

    That's true, but our FICO scores won't take a hit from having the loan or a higher debt/income ratio. The loan will be on our application, but as I understand it, your rate is very heavily dependent on your FICO score If it were up to me, we'd at the very least seriously consider resale, but DH...
