    Epcot almost sunk. (Part of it)

    We were at Disney a couple of weeks backs for the 7DMT opening and it was a big mess. We didn't know what it was at the time.

    Bay Lake Tower update????

    My wife and I stayed at BLT the first week of April and we both liked the hotel and the look of it but also felt that there was a lot of wear and tear already. Our sink was cracked, the pocket door was really loose and the carpet had many patches. Hopefully they will do a minor refurbishment to...

    Animal Kingdom Lodge Vs Wilderness Lodge?

    I haven't been to the Wilderness Lodge, but my wife and I love the AKL. It has such a great atmosphere.

    Umm.. What's up with Epcot today? (05/25/14)

    The problem I see with WDW is that there used to be a high standard of quality that is slowly fading. I could understand if budgets are tight then they need to focus on doing the most that they can to keep the whole together rather than a few individual things. Unfortunately for Disney, they...

    Maelstrom...

    I just feel that the ride has such a classic Disney feel to it. I also love the way the unload zone looks before you exit through the theater and I cannot get enough of that fresh smell of Laila as you exit the gift shop.

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    If only. The last Embassy Suites I stayed at had a really massive multi-story waterfall and pond in the center lobby.

    Maelstrom...

    Be careful what you wish for, they say Disney is the place where dreams come true. I do love Maelstrom, it is exactly what a ride in the WS should be. It would be criminal to Disney-fy it.

    Great Movie Ride or Old-school movie ride?

    I really like TGMR. I am not into older classic films and haven't seen most of them, but I still enjoy and appreciate the ride. It would be a great loss if Disney decided to replace it. Unfortunately, gone are Horizons, WoM, WoL, the real Living Seas and the waterfalls at Poly. This ride will...

    How do I post a question on WDW rides?

    My wife is a big chicken and hates roller coasters but she like BTM. It really isn't bad at all. It always seems more intense at night and towards the back so try to get her on it earlier in the day and closer to the front as others have mentioned.

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    If the plans call for a large and majestic waterfall feature right outside the lobby that is viewable from the large and open space that will now be there, I think I could be okay with this. I wish there was more transparency with what the rest of the hotel might look like after this is all...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    The Gaylord Palms is ridiculous in the most amazing way. It is like its own ecosystem. A replica of the fort at St Augustine, pirate ships, large multi-story waterfalls, an ice skating rink, etc... It is nearly impossible to believe. It really makes you feel like you stepped into Willy Wonka's...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    This makes sense. I really want to believe that this rendering is just a small glimpse of changes and not all encompassing of the changes being made. The entire outdoor area is a mystery. It could be something completely grand and blow away what the waterfall feature was to the Poly. We really...

    Purpose of the DVC slider for the Magic Bands?

    That's weird, I didn't get any sliders.

    Is Disney World actually trying to step it up again?

    Personally, I am happy with what Disney has been doing recently. I stayed at Bay Lake last month and it was a really enjoyable hotel and the view of the fireworks was nice. The DVC expansions of GF and Poly are exciting. I can't wait to stay at the GF and I will reserve judgement on Poly when it...

    Swan vs. Dolphin- any preference?

    They are both very similar and you can easily use the amenities of either. I suppose it comes down to price and if you want to be just that much closer to the particular one that has the restaurant or shop you prefer to frequent.

    Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald takes over the creative direction of Epcot

    It isn't so much bringing back old attractions as advocating that Disney understand the meaning and message of the past attractions. Nemo doesn't do anything for the Living Seas experience. MS is pretty much old after the first couple of times you ride it. There is a reason it perpetually has a...

    Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald takes over the creative direction of Epcot

    The old TT may have had some educational value, but the Tron update of TT pretty much took the educational parts out in favor of non scripted random neon cut outs.

    Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald takes over the creative direction of Epcot

    To me, Epcot was a place of wonder when I was little. Horizons gave me so much hope for the future and drove me towards my love of technology, space, the future, my obsession with Star Trek and a lifetime of yearning for what is to come. There needs to be a ride like Horizons again because that...

    Park wifi

    WiFi has been pretty usable in my experiences with it. It occasionally drops out but usually comes back within moments after you move to a different area. The speeds are more than usable for the tasks that I used it for. There shouldn't be any issue with using WiFi calling with the system as it...

    Any success stories with the wait list?

    My wife and I wait listed at Vero Beach during July 4th and got it about 2 weeks into our wait. The room had a fantastic view of the beach, too.
