    Can you swim on the beaches of the Seven Seas Lagoon?

    Gators prefer dead things. Gators will grab you and attempt to kill/drown you, then store you somewhere under the water until you begin to rot. Then they eat you.

    Question for those who stay in the values.

    All of the Disney resorts are well themed, some more kid friendly, some more refined, but all well done. And they are all different experiences as they should be. Who wants to see the same thing over and over? Comparing Disney resorts isn't like comparing apples and oranges, it is like...

    PHOTOS - Temporary store to open during a major update to World of Disney at Disney Springs

    The World of Disney store was recently renovated, and there are reports that a lot of the whimsy has been removed, causing some "Disney Fanatics" to react in a manner that some may feel is irrational. I agree that the World of Disney store was in need of updates, as the floor plan did not...

    Resort Parking Charges

    We are annual pass holders and DVC members. We go on DVC points once or twice a year, and pay out-of-pocket once or twice more a year. We live in Louisiana and drive. We always compare the savings then consider the benefits of an off-property condo versus the benefits of Disney transportation...

    Where in WDW is your “happy place”?

    The lazy river at Blizzard Beach!!!! LOVE relaxing there, watching the kids play, passing under the caves and trying to avoid the cold water, watching everyone trying to time the fisherman's sneeze.... relaxing and good fun all at the same time!

    does anyone ride the astro orbitor?

    Come to think of it, we have never ridden it either! We always say we are gong to and then forget about it. Honestly, I can't even picture where the queue is? I think we have only ridden people mover twice, and we have taken multiple trips annually for the past 13 years! Oh the shame! ;-)

    Leave Magic Kingdom to eat!!! Hop on the Monorail and eat at OHana (Poly) or The Grand Floridian Café.

    Wait...People dislike Rivers of Light?!

    We have seen it on 3 occasions and love it! Beautiful floats, music is good, projections are interesting and thought provoking, it is within the theme of the park... it's a good end to the evening. It is not Fantasmic or Illuminations, but you have to remember there are animals nearby. You...

    So why weren't there many strollers back in the day?

    We brought the stroller til my youngest was 7 or 8. She is 18 now. Our stroller was AWESOME! It was an umbrella stroller, with 8 (4 sets of 2) wheels, that swiveled! It folded very thin, could be pushed with a finger, and had a canvas platform underneath! It was used as a seat for her during...

    Recent promos suggest Disney restaurants are in trouble - why?

    Even though we are AP holders and DVC members, we still usually purchase the dining plan, but recent dining plan changes and price hikes seem to have diminished that value even further. We try to remember that we are paying for convenience and atmosphere... but we still like to eat, and the...

    Can't decide between Coronado and Port Orleans Riverside

    Both resorts are beautiful and if you get on the outskirts of either one you will have a long hike to the main lobby. I would say it is a personal choice. I will say that I have sometimes found the Swan and Dolphin to have rates similar to what is offered at the moderates and I would prefer to...

    We own the Poly now!

    [QUOTE="notslim99, post: 6732929, member: 74254 Hi! We got tired of waiting for Grand Floridian points and bought at the Poly also! We are very excited! We took advantage of the current discount so we couldn't pass it up! Hope to see some fellow Louisiana DVC members in the future at the World!

    Beach or Yacht Club

    Sorry for the so so late reply, we've been traveling! We stayed in a room with a view of the lake, near the docks, but, can't remember the number. I know we requested the same location each visit and they gave us nearly the same each time. The CAst Members were able to put us there by...

    Beach or Yacht Club

    We have stayed at the Yacht Club numerous times and the Beach Club for the first time just last year. We prefer the Yacht Club's rooms, proximity to The Boardwalk, and balcony view of Illuminations fireworks. But we prefer the Beach Club for the proximity to the market place and Epcot! It just...
