    First Disney adult beverage you want when you get back?

    I will gladly settle for a standard piña colada anywhere at the Poly! Tambu Lounge, Trader Sams... heck, you could serve it to me on the monorail platform. Anywhere at the Poly will suffice, considering that I’ve been “working from home” 65 days straight and crawling the walls!

    2nd week of June cancel watch thread

    So I have 6/13 - 6/18 booked at Boulder Ridge, but wanted an extra few nights on the front end. I had a room reserved at Lake Buena Vista Hilton 6/11-6/13 that was just canceled by Hilton yesterday. No news yet on the DVC portion of my trip...

    Is anyone planning to be down in WDW towards the end of next week (Thursday/Friday)?

    Things I've never done at Disney?...

    Not sure if you and your BFF golf, but Disney offers some really nice courses and it’s not super expensive (depending on time of year). Parks aside, I pick a hotel group (i.e. MK area hotels) and try to grab a drink - maybe two - at each hotel. My favorite circuit is starting out at WL and...

    Best Steak for the Money?

    Curious to know which restaurants on property you think have the best steak for the money? Doing a trip next week (no parks, just relaxing around the resort, resort hopping, Disney Springs, etc.) and am looking for some dining spots that offer a decent steak without breaking the bank?

    Solo trip on a Budget?

    Take a look at the Downtown Disney hotels. I’ve stayed at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista for $89/night. It’s a really nice hotel, has complimentary transportation to the parks and is a 5 minute walk to Disney Springs, where you have access to the WDW buses. For a solo trip on a budget, it’s hard...

    Adults and Solo Trips Central ** Updated 5/8/07

    I could be as well. Or possibly first week of February. Haven’t quite narrowed travel dates down.

    Planning my first solo trip and I can’t wait to go alone!

    Did my first solo trip earlier this year. It really was fantastic! Looking forward to the next one - possibly in Jan-Feb.

    Prefer short stays vs. extended stays at WDW

    I’m beginning to enjoy shorter stays a bit more than the longer ones. I feel like a quick 3-4 days just to get a “fix” is the perfect amount of time. I just spent 8 nights at Old Key West, and while I never tire of the place, I was definitely ready to come home. But I was also there for...

    News Round Up 2018

    During my time here on DIS, I have been in some fairly heated debates on the merits of free dining. Frankly, I never saw tremendous value: you either pay full price on your room and get the free dining discount, or you can get a good discount off the rack rate, but no free dining. Depending...

    News Round Up 2018

    Not sure what the beef is with the room check - Disney owns the resorts, we just rent them for a very brief period of time, and thus, are subject to their rules. If this policy helps to keep guests safe and mitigates the possibility of another Vegas-style event from happening, then they are...

    New Monorail Fleet Ordered?

    The "black residue" is most likely mold which has zero impact on functionality. The beams/supports are not sinking (if they were, that could be catastrophic). These lines have been up for decades and are probably not even approaching their half-life. An incredible engineering feet to say the...

    Site inspections at River Country?

    For a moment, think about the 1,000+ hotels/timeshares/resorts that are in the greater Orlando area, most of which primarily exist to serve Disney and/or Universal. The addition of one more hotel will not even be discernible to your in-park experience. We are seeing more expansion in terms...

    Richard Gerth - GF greeter on hospice care

    I'd like to think that Richard will be standing side-by-side with Stan; the infamous greeter from the Wilderness Lodge... Welcoming people as they approach the pearly white gates. The Wilderness Lodge hasn't been quite the same without Stan, and I suspect the same will be true of GF without...

    Wrist Bands at the pools?

    As mentioned early in this topic, I don't buy the "first responder" thing as a reason for this change. If that were true, why are some pools still requiring MB for entrance while other pools are not? Disney is about as risk-averse a company as they come. If this truly slowed response time...
