Downtown Disney trick or treating ended several years ago. Usually a few fall decorations and that's it there.

Technically the party doesn't start until until 6, so aren't they already giving you two hours of fudge room at 4? You can try it but here's what you have to be careful of... say you have a park hopper ticket and a Halloween party ticket on the same Magic Band. It may "work" at 345, but the...

There's another Wal-Mart already approved to be built just north of Magic Kingdom at the corner of SR-429 and New Independence Pkwy. The massive Horizon West project is building over 40,000 new homes to the north and west of Disney. There's a lot of resident growth in addition to tourist growth.

Cagan Crossings has I think 4 different complexes in the compound. The oldest complex, Aurora, is not too classy but the newer sections are OK. From what I understand, management is adequate but nothing special. The "town center" they advertise is mostly empty storefronts but there is a Wal-Mart...

I think that Disney and Universal are pretty well benchmarked on cost per calorie on quick service. You will find menu items or even who restaurants that are good and bad deals at both, but I think on the whole they settle back to the same average. Look at your basics - both serve fountain Coke...

The 7 month minimum still stands. You can blame the British tourists for that... previously they would come and rent an apartment for a month or two at a great savings rather than a hotel. The resorts didn't like it and neither did the state sales tax coffers. Apartments prefer to get you in a...

Just an update on this - Both houses of the Florida legislature have passed HB641 "Family Amusement Games Act", which clarifies redemption based arcade games vs illegal gambling. It is sitting on the governor's desk, with all indications it will be signed. Dave and Buster's took the lead on it...

Buses only run during events, every 30 minutes from All-Star, Pop Century, and Caribbean. Those are the resorts that the assorted teams and their families usually stay at. I suppose other routes could be added if the circumstance required it but I've never heard of one to Boardwalk. There are...

Based on what I know from Team Members at that attraction, the concern is largely about objects striking other riders and trains as well as objects striking the ground. It is easier to mitigate ground strikes with nets, but hard to mitigate rider to rider. There are a certain number of people...

Lynx buses are designed around park, restaurant, and hotel workers going to work. So most of the routes go from residential areas to hospitality destinations, usually via arterial streets. They do not have direct service between any two main attractions, with the exception of the I-Ride trolley...

Many similar gated venues do not allow any outside food and beverage, so in it's own right it is kind of unusual that Disney, and to a much lesser extent Universal, have been lenient on this. I've seen Uni be inconsistent on this in the past, letting just about anything in during the day and...

FWIW, not that any sane cyclist would go that way, but bicycles are specifically prohibited on Buena Vista Dr from Hotel Plaza to Bonnet Creek Pkwy through the DTD construction area. Be mindful that cyclists are rare at WDW and motorists probably aren't expecting to encounter them.

You should ask if you are a "restricted rehire" or "no rehire". If "restricted," you would need to wait at least a year and make your case. But it's an uphill battle. If it's a "no rehire", it ain't gonna happen ever. Not trying to be mean, but they consider what you did to be theft. They, like...

If you are a retiree, I am guessing you are talking about your Main Entrance Pass. This can now be found at www.disneyretiree.com - scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen and there is a link for MEP block-outs. (The website has a lot of other resources too) Right now dates are posted...

You'd have to take a Disney bus from your resort to DTD, which drops off at the Marketplace. Then go pick up the Lynx 50 at the West Side or along Hotel Plaza and eventually come out by SeaWorld where you can transfer to the iRide trolley. It's a lot of time. And honestly there's nothing that...

Keep a giant cup of iced tea in the car. And play the old game of how many miles till the next rest stop? Double points if you make a pact to only stop at a particular brand of rest stop. But in all seriousness, if you get too tired stop and take a nap. Don't arrive dead (figuratively or...

I'm used to internet cafes as they exist in other places - a bona fide place to rent computer time, usually in highly pedestrian areas with a lot of foreign travellers. The first time I came to Florida, I thought it was odd that the internet cafes were so numerous in rural north Florida. And...

Last buses depart DTD Marketplace at 02:00am. Taxi fare would be $12-$15. Taxis are the quickest way between the two resorts, but it wouldn't be bad on Disney Transport. Take the bus from Pop to DTD. There you can either take a bus to PO or hop on boat transportation. The boat takes a little...

Just keep in mind when budgeting that for the most part gratuities are not included and should be figured based on the menu prices. DDP or room charge are both a convenient MagicBand transaction, though I can understand how prepaying puts some at ease. I've gone both with and without the DDP and...
