Nothing says "wilderness" like a 10 story hotel!

Something to consider from the beginning. Disney wanted the actual countries to pay for their section. And obviously the more you pay, the more you get. However that also was not without controversy. If I remember the story correctly, Japan was to get a ride and sponsored by Fuji film, which...

It's a LOT cheaper to whip up some code to put on a screen than it is to pay actors, camera crew, stage hands, blocking out attractions, etc. It's also desirable to update information in real time or even over set time period. Having to spend money on a skit about a ride could potentially have...

Vacation with my 5th wheel trailer quite a bit each year. Our German Shorthair Pointer is part of our family and goes with us all of our trips. The big oaf sleeps in bed with us and is in every way a family member. Is well behaved and easily go without a leash. Knows hand commands and is no...

You know who I feel for the most? RCFD and all first responders that had to deal with this for hours. I was a firefighter for 17 years and when it comes to anything dealing with heights and rescuing Joe and Jane Public, honestly, I'd rather have to put out a fully engulfed warehouse full of...

As a a fellow 5th wheel owner, I understand your worries. However, also as a fellow 5th wheel owner, you NEED to be able to handle things like this....period. Not to preach, but you need to go practice somewhere and feel confident in your abilities to handle the trailer forward and backward...

Only if any of this was leaked by a WDW bus driver will I then know it's true :cool:

Spend $5,000 rather than $6,000 :joyfull:

I remember when the DDP came out. You got an 18% gratuity included and dessert. It was chipped away in no time. You lost things but the price kept going up. And up. And it became noticable that menus started contracting. Lesser cuts of meat almost became common amongst the restaurants. The...

I concur. That shipped sailed 20 years ago. It's like MGM was built, opened, did the bare minimum to keep it running, and then decided after about 10 years that it was a lost cause. Even 15 years ago, one could look at the half assed TV Hall of Fame or whatever it was called where busts of...

I use to rent a house in the Windsor Hills development through All Star vacation homes. It's like 2-3 miles south of Animal Kingdom. On the days we would go to MK, we would make reservations for breakfast at Fort Wilderness. Park in their lot, eat at Trails End, and take it's own boat over to...

I realize location means everything, but I guess my opinion is relative to amount of traveling I do. I'm Marriott Titanium level and I'm in one of their hotels 75+ nights a year. I travel all over the country and stay at quite a different level of their hotels. All are obviously not created...

Pop Century has always been ridiculous priced for what is basically a motel room. It might be called "value", but I'm not exactly sure what value was ever in it. But anyway, out of curiosity, I checked March 2020 for Fort Wilderness campsites if I wanted a full hookup site for my trailer. I...

I agree with you on that. Locals and the majority of APs are no longer in any target demographic. This is similar to what happened at DisneyLand. This group does will not spend like the captive audience that flies in and and is hopefully trapped on property, has every waking moment...

Either way, directly or indirectly, the goal is to get every dime possibly left on the table. You want to drive here, I'm still taking the cost of a T-shirt from you every day :joyfull:

I haven't been on these forums for about 3 years since my last trip for all these reasons. The hard core pixie dust sniffers usually made up reasons why none of it were true. Apparently talking about this made a lot of people put their fingers in their ears and go "la, la, la, la, I'm not...

My main concern is the USB charging ports. Getting on and off the buses will be hilarious......well more like frustrating. OH, I forgot my charger! Let me run back onto the bus against the flow of people getting off because YOU just don't understand how important it is for ME to get my...

Let me explain by Kool Aid drinker. Basically anyone that like to put their fingers in their ears whenever anyone says anything bad about Disney. Arguing against it because you don't want to hear bad things about Disney seems to be some people's mantra on wdwmagic. As an example, I can say...

This degradation of the experience and the ridiculous price gouging is something I have been saying for a few years now on these forums, but have been vilified by the Kook Aid drinkers. I've been to WDW 60+ times over the last 25 years and at least a dozen times to DL. After my last trip to...
