they say a picture is worth a thousand words . . .

Magic kingdom definitely sucks a bit since you have to do the extra leg from the TTC. The other parks are fine, sometimes they seemed to run more on a schedule according to the bus drivers. Animal kingdom our entire stay picked up on the 15/45 from the park, and I found this to be easier to...

Well, just received the email today that they are canceling my 10/23 - 10/30 stay, so looks like all of Oct is out.

I am in the same boat as you, 2 rooms booked last week in Oct booked for 7 nights. If you call the hotel directly you of course get a recording to leave a message, so I called the swan directly. They know nothing, and are claiming they have not been told when the Swan Reserve will open, so...

I don’t have much of a problem with Disney allowing a private event, but to do so during a week where MK already closes more than a handful of times for a tickets event means that those staying this week only have 1 evening at MK in the evening hours with normal tickets. Again, allow it, but...

I do think prices have reached levels that are pushing the boundaries of sanity, but as some others have alluded, I have yet to find a comparable vacation that provides similar levels of entertainment and escape for me. However (with a capital 'H'), my fault lies not with the price increases...

Wife and I have no kids. We go for several reasons: 1. I am ADD, so the thought of sitting on a beach somewhere only works for me for about a day, then I am bored. Equally my wife cannot stand being trapped on a boat (even when we tried a grand suite on a cruise ship) so those are out as...

We stayed at yacht club 3 weeks ago, via hotels.com getting 15% off Disney’s best nightly rate and we literally had the exact same type room on the 3rd floor. It was as far from the elevator as you could get, we were 3rd floor overlooking the exact type of roof in your picture (believe it was...

Ways to keep to the original concept with modern updates: Totally modernize the star tunnel entrance. Black gloss floors with white structured panel walls with HD screens as windows. Think recent Star Trek movie passageways. Make the actual queue more like star tours, give the feel that you...

Here now and rode SSE at 8:45 pm today. No damage noted to any ride scene, HVAC seemed functional in all areas, pre/post show and ride area. Didn’t see so much as a drop of water anywhere inside. Don’t think this was as severe as most thought.

Wife and I always end the day with a WS sit down dinner. To us, the ability to go back to the room, shower and change, and walk to our dinner fresh and clean is worth some of the extra cost. As far as the REST of the cost, well they are really testing the elasticity of our demand lately with...

corn ice cream (Helado de Maíz) from la hacienda de San angel. I know it may sound strange but it had a deliteful flavor and texture. It's been gone for almost 2 years and yet is still on the menu posted outside at the host desk as well as online. Every time we go I ask the waitstaff about...

Worst casualty of these earlier closing time changes: Pandora We are going over Labor Day weekend for 4 days, animal kingdom is open till 9 pm most nights with 1 night stretched to 9:30. So basically Disney spent all this money designing a land that 'comes alive at night' only to have it open...

1. Stayed at swan many times, typical hotel so basically they have your credit card and you start paying when you check in. We always had annual passes though so never booked a Disney hotel/ticket package at swan so can't speak to that. 2. Would have be a good promo, the swan required quite a...

Ive always found the shrimp tacos at La Hacienda to be pretty good, they have a nice lime crema sauce that I really like. Used to really love their corn ice cream until that fell off the menu over a year ago. I do like San Angel Inn, but I dont like how many tables they have jammed in there -...

Depends on how much time you spend in the room. If its just for sleeping and showering and you are a park commando rope drop to close, you will be fine at POP. $500 can get you a few TS meals that you might enjoy more that a nicer hotel room/grounds. On the other hand, if you enjoy...

We have stayed the gamut from value to deluxe, I have ZERO problems staying at POP. Sometimes we find POP ends up producing some of the more fun trips looking back over the past few years (going at least 4 times a year). Its very disney and fun, sometimes I find the deluxe resorts a bit too...

We go a few times a year, and run the gamut between deluxe and value - sometimes we stay POP sometimes we stay Contemporary and of course sometimes we shoot the middle and do Port Orleans FQ. I will note that we , so obviously we have a diff experience than those that have to factor in...

We did a last min trip last week, Dec 14-18 and every hotel was available when we booked the week prior, even the discounted rates were available. Hotels were kinda a ghost town by Disney standards, plenty of empty rooms and empty parking lots. We were a bit shocked so not surprised they are...
