I just returned from a 3-resort split stay that included All-Star Movies and Beach Club, and our resort of choice is usually Pop Century. I found the ASM buses to be perfectly reliable and timely, and on our HS day, it got us to the park plenty early enough that our wait at RotR was only about...

I'm not sure if they're whole beans or grounds, but the Joffrey's shop in Disney Springs (not the kiosk) has a pretty good selection of their bagged coffee for sale.

I just called Disney about an hour ago (a few minutes before 10 pm EST), and was given a wait time of 9 minutes, but waited less than 5. I canceled a resort reservation and paid off another one, and chatted with the very friendly CM for a couple of minutes. My entire call time was less than 17...

Just chiming in to say that my sister had a meeting at work regarding Genie about a week ago, and her exact words to me were that "you can't re-ride a ride." She doesn't work in attractions so she wasn't given in-depth training, just enough to help guests with simple questions.

I have two, both of which are pretty popular with just about everyone else! We had the worst service at Skipper Canteen and were unimpressed with the food. We initially thought our waitress's skipper schtick was being sassy, but as the meal went on, it seemed more and more like she just didn't...

I just dropped my sister off for the Disney College Program on Monday, and more CPs are scheduled to arrive every week through September. Between her and her 3 roommates, 2 are working in the parks and 2 are working in resorts, with 3 of them being in food service and 1 in merch. She starts...

Booked at Pop Century for 11/8-11/12! My sister starts her Disney College Program on August 3rd (hopefully), so her twin and I will be visiting! I hadn't planned on booking this early since I wanted to see if my sister could get us a room with her CM discount, but with so many people currently...

ToT is far from my favorite ride at WDW, but it's pretty likely that whatever you're imagining the ride to be is 3x worse than the reality. I was absolutely adamant about not riding ToT on my first WDW trip, and I'm still not sure what possessed me to get on that elevator, but I got off...

Ha! That picture totally stumped me and my sisters on our last trip too! We thought it might be a radio, but who carries around a radio these days? NO ROBOTS or NO OTHER BUSES BECAUSE THIS ONE IS THE BEST seemed a lot more likely to us. We ended up asking the bus driver before we got off and he...

I've only been to WDW three times, but I definitely spent much less on souvenirs on my last trip vs. the first or second ones. I do pick up a lot of things to take a closer look at, but about 95% of those items fail the "Is this a reasonable price for a sane person to pay?" test. Anything I...

We were at WDW January 8-15 this year, and the MLK weekend was way busier than anything we experienced the rest of the week. That weekend was the start of the Festival of the Arts, and Epcot was PACKED. Crowd levels were higher at MK and HS (we didn't revisit AK) as well, but it was definitely...

I was really surprised by how thin the blanket was when I opened the package. For $20 (on top of a $40 purchase), I was expecting at least the quality of the cheap fleece blankets from Marshall's, but alas... NGL though, even if I had known beforehand how thin it was, I still would have bought...

From your maybe list, I'd take off Skipper Canteen. I was waffling on it because I thought the prices were a bit much, but after reading so many positive reviews here (particularly for the Tastes Like Chicken dish), I added it to our schedule last minute. We ordered the chicken and the whole...

Yes, this! I forgot to mention that the 8:00 seating might only be possible if you've pre-ordered your meal. When you get there, you'll just have to confirm what you ordered and pay, rather than waiting in the long line to order.

Be at the park gates when they open at 7:45 and head straight for BOG. Even if your reservation is at 8:20, you'll be able to sit down as soon as you get there. If you can be seated by 8:00, you should be able to be at 7DMT by 8:45, which is when they start letting PPO breakfast people on. If...

We stayed at SF last week (January 12-14), and we loved it! We booked a lagoon view room, and I made sure to look out the window every chance I got. We really liked the atmosphere in the public spaces, the selection at the gift shop was great (I was able to find a Ravenclaw pin that was sold out...

We were at the parks Jan 11-15 last year, and 8-15 this year (with a break 12-14 for Universal). While the parks seemed to be a bit busier than last year, the only time it felt really crowded was on the 14th and 15th, but that was expected, especially at Epcot. Going at rope drop, choosing the...

We just got back from a 3-hotel split stay (4 nights at All-Star Music, 2 nights at Sapphire Falls @ Universal, 1 night at Pop Century), and now that we've stayed at Pop Century, we will probably never stay at ASMu again. We've stayed at ASMu twice now, Rock Inn last time and Broadway this time...

I purchased my park tickets through the Southwest deal and just returned on Sunday from my trip without running into any issues. Southwest sent me my ticket code about 64 days before my trip and I was able to link it to MDE right away. If I remember correctly, there was a thread a while back...

When Animation Academy was at HS, I think they took place every 30 minutes, but for the festival, there's only one class every hour. The classes start at the 15-minute mark of each hour, and we were let in a couple of minutes before then. Be sure to get there at least 20 minute before the class...
