    PwC Launch ??

    I rode the late boat to GF with a boatload of them last Thursday night (i think it was their first night)... I thought they were surprisingly well-mannered for a group of early 20s fratboy types... they had matching logo backpacks and water bottles and were comparing entry salary quotes ($56K...

    Sad News: Three-year-old drowns at Art of Animation Pool

    I've seen trolling in my day, but all of us should pause a moment and consider what kind of sociopath spends their afternoon trying to repeatedly and purposefully enflame others that they supposedly share interests with. Imagine if one of these smugly vile people were your coworker or neighbor...

    Blast from the Past -- June 1985 brochure

    That's right! How could I have forgotten?? That movie was so weird! I wonder if she was carrying a real chicken in the parade?

    Blast from the Past -- June 1985 brochure

    As you can see from the back of the booklet, Disney was hyping Return to Oz as their big Summer movie that year.... here's Dorothy and Toto making a guest appearance in the Main St. Electrical Parade... i'm thinking this must have only lasted a few weeks.

    Blast from the Past -- June 1985 brochure

    This week marks the 30th anniversary of my first trip to Disney World... My wife's (then-fiancee's) family asked me to come along on their summer trip, starting a life-long tradition of visits. Tonight I was pulling out old photos from that trip to post to Facebook and came across this...

    Does anyone take a night off from Parks and chill at resort

    I think spending some downtime at the resort can be calming to those that tend to get stressed-out... it also provides an opportunity to pepper the staff and other guests with lots of questions about the varied aspects of the resorts....

    Best resort for our family

    You should really look at the options at wyndham bonnet creek.... there are many great deals out there (ebay and travel sites) ... you can easily get a 2bedroom for under $1k for the week. The rooms are huge, the pools are really nice, and they are within the disney boundaries. The only...

    FP+ only Toy Story Midway Mania

    Okay, I mostly lurk and rarely post, and I guess I get the Capt. Obvious award for saying this... But.... isn't it curious that every time a thread like this is posted where a new unexpected process, or closing, or change occurs, that a small zealous group of users expend an inordinate amount...

    Captain Cook's reopening

    An even bigger shame is having yet another downgrade and removal of customer service (the whip machine) touted instead as a great improvement by sycophantic apologists. The once-grand Poly is being turned into a tidied-up bland corporate shell with some Party City tchotchkes, a beach view of...

    FP+ for Be Our Guest - A Tale of Two CMs With Conflicting Information: What's the Real Deal?

    We checked in on Friday 2/28 at around 9 am. Got the email within an hour. But when i tried to use the link, it could only find availability on Monday and only for the first time frame (when bog opens)... So we grabbed that and were escorted in as the first couple.... It was like we had the...

    New mug Policy

    I just did this a few weeks ago.... Stayed at 3 different resorts and used the same mug. In my case, i explained my situation and the first cm insisted i just buy 2 days and then upgrade with the price difference at the 2nd resort. I think that was because all the resorts had not converted...

    I'm concerned about Patricia

    Went on Carousel of Progress several times and on at least four different days this week. Each time, our girl 1994 Patricia (or Trish as gramps calls her) seemed a little......off..... First, her eyes.... Her left eyelid never blinks (or at least does so infrequently).... Worse though, I'm not...

    Going to a Theme Park alone.

    Ok. Here's a somewhat less than enthusiastic update.... For the most part, the week has been great and cms have been great. The notable exceptions have been at Mk, which makes me wonder whether the demographics there tend to make the adult solo traveller stick out more. First was Sunday...

    Halloween decorations

    Yes... Apologies for the unsubstantiated post I made the other night that caused a little kerfuffle.... Went back to magic kingdom tonight and saw the Mickey-o-lanterns aglow.... Was happy (even tho it is early and still freakin hot) Joe

    No Halloween decorations till after Night of Joy

    Agreed... I wasn't trying to cast aspersions on the event or attendees... Just thinking this was likely the case of a particularly vocal cadre in the planners... Plus I don't like Christmas to go up early, but I'm selfish and thought with the overcast gloomy clouds and lower temps, Main...

    Going to a Theme Park alone.

    @rckid First day a complete success. Not awkward at all and pretty relaxing.

    No Halloween decorations till after Night of Joy

    I have trepidation about posting this because I fear responses may veer of the rails. Please don't. This is not intended as a rant. Last year, my wife and I were at wdw from 26 aug thru 8 sep. upon arrival, I was very happy to see Main Street all decked out for Autumn/Halloween, since we've...

    "Rapid Fill" Mugs Coming to Walt Disney World Hotels

    Checked in today at Allstar music beginning a weeklong split stay ... 2 nites at asmu.... 2 at pofq.... And 3 at WL. Tried to buy a length of stay mug, but that blew the cashier's mind since I was only staying 2 nites.... Mgr tells me other resorts aren't turned on yet so just buy 2 nighter...
