    Where in WDW is your “happy place”?

    My "Happy Place" is mostly in my head, and not in any one specific Disney spot. However, I spent my honeymoon in Florida, and spent 2 glorious weeks at the World (1992- my first time ever going). I will never forget my first monorail ride heading to the Magic Kingdom and seeing the Grand...

    The Hidden CM (security)

    2 QBs actually. Whoever the Bills eventually get. And Tom Brady.

    What caused them to do a ride (Splash Mountain) based on a movie they weren't releasing?

    Maybe the question should be, "What other movie would have worked around a log flume ride, and at the same time draw customers into the park, i.e. Be interesting?" I can think of a few that might fit the ride, but would probably not create much of a buzz. I love the ride. I I love the music...

    AFC Championship Game

    I love football (a Steeler fan, too...living in Pats Country), but when I'm in Disney, I'm IN Disney. I have had two or three trips down there during Super Bowl Sunday, and the way I see it is, hotel-be-damned. I NEED to be at the parks, or their environs, and if I somehow catch a glimpse of...

    Magical Disney moments needed to help brighten my day

    I think stories like these, and the fact that they actually help people feel better, are an amazing piece of the legacy Walt left behind. I doubt he ever fully realized the impact his company's creations would have. To the people that think we are all a little "weird" for being so into Disney...

    Is the MCO Security Line Usually That Bad?

    I have flown in and out of MCO too many times to count, and have never had a chaotic TSA experience. In fact, I'm generally surprised how fast I get through, even when I have the whole family in tow. However, I will say that I have never seen more attitude from TSA than I have there. They...

    Your favorite PARTS of WDW attractions...what are they?

    I too, love the Skeleton steering the tattered ship in Pirates....probably my favorite part of any ride or attraction. The "appearance" of heavy winds and rain on a stormy sea, being navigated through by a dead pirate, just hit me deeply in my magic Disney spot. Always has. Other favorites...

    Massachusetts School Vacation 4/16-4/23 Ridiculous Airfare prices, advice needed

    Totally agree here. If altering your plans by a day here or there is possible, it can be totally worthwhile. Also, and most of you aren't going to like this, but we've even gone down the week BEFORE school vacation starts. Saved MASSIVELY this way. Yes, the kids missed school, but in most...

    How scary is DINOSAUR for a 5-year-old?

    Like others have said, it depends on the child. I have a 10yr. old son that still won't even try it, but my 7 yr. old quadruplets love it. It is very loud, very bumpy, mostly dark, and even I got chills the first time I rode it, but of course LOVED that it elicited such an actual physical...

    If you had 15 Minutes to talk to Walt Disney, what would you ask or talk about?

    In reality I would be too nervous to actually say anything of true substance to him, but hey, if he ever reads these forums, I'd like to thank him for Main Street USA. For me it perfectly encapsulates that indescribable Magic that I feel he pretty much invented...at least in my life. It's also...

    Any Disney Pin secrets? Special ones?

    There is another really good trader, and very nice person named King Pin in the Animal Kingdom Lodge gift shop. He even has YouTube videos if you want to check him out.

    Guest banned from WDW for meth lab joke.

    Wow, can't believe I actually read all 9 pages of this. It has been MY experience in Life that people that "blow their gaskets" tend to either be genuinely offended/incorrectly accused of something OR completely guilty of said offense, and use anger to misdirect the glaring light of truth. I...

    Grand Floridian or Polynesian Resort

    I READ Trip Advisor, but Always take it with a grain of salt. It's mostly people that have had what they Perceive to be a negative experience. I work in the airline industry, and ANY time a plane is delayed to bad weather en route, I get the typical, " I'll NEVER fly this airline again!!" I...

    Grand Floridian or Polynesian Resort

    I truly concur, but we (my wife, 1st son, and I) had a truly, Magical stay at the Grand, that I will NEVER let Disney forget. I was already a complete convert, but their appreciation of US was something that will make me visit again and again. Plus, Holey Moley that almond encrusted cheesecake...

    Grand Floridian or Polynesian Resort

    Have stayed at both, with a stellar visit to Grand Floridian. The Polynesian was excellent, but we were treated to an unbelievable upgrade at the Grand Floridian that will probably never be equalled. You asked about Restaurants...sad to say, I've never eaten at a Polynesian establishment, BUT...

    What Would You Ban?

    How about a big sign right out front that reads something like: Welcome to (insert park name here). May we magically remind you that your world view, while as valid and as real as sunshine (and maybe even tofu) is NOT particularly the ONLY world view out there. In fact, we are willing to bet...

    A strange carry on question...

    Per the Air Carrier Access Act, mobility items cannot be counted toward the carry-on limit, buuuuuut......since what you are bringing on will not fall under that category, you COULD be subject to the limit, buuuuuut...... anyone that would actually try to enforce that upon you in this situation...
