    Who's been on a cold day?

    I need to dispel some of the mis-guided weather comments here. In order for Orlando to get pretty cold, under 40, let's say. The air has to be extremely dry, not humid. Colder weather here is caused by strong cold fronts coming down directly from the north and is too dry to retain any heat...

    If there ever was a family that "vacationed like they meant it" that would be you. Thanks for sharing.

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    Sorry, a bit late to this thread. You've uncovered our secret place for fireworks watching. Yes, you don't get the castle effects, but you do get the music and the Fireworks are in perfect view from here.

    Let's talk STAR TOURS.....

    When you don't get the new EP 7 and EP 8 sequence (Crait) and you get "classic" Star Tours, it seems to be stuck on ending with the Jar Jar sequence. There is a different ending featuring Boba Fett and the Death Star that is rarely seen. I've ridden Star Tours over 40 times now, seen the Boba...

    The best sit down restaurant at MK that you've never heard of is

    The Plaza. No characters, no Beauty and Beast, no buffet, only 33 tables and hidden behind the ice cream shoppe out of view so that no one really knows it is there yet it has outstanding food and service. It is probably the easiest of the sit downs to reserve (we got a reservation, in August...

    V.I.Passholder Nights in MK and EP

    We arrived at MK at 2:30. Decided to watch the FoF parade. Maleficent is still missing. :worried: It was so hot, we could feel the heat coming up from the sidewalk into our shoes. My DW really doesn't play well in the heat so we had to be careful. We placed ourselves on Main Street right...

    Am I crazy about going to WDW at Christmas?

    Like everything else, it is about managing expectations. If your daughter (and I hope she is well on the road to recovery) is upset she missed certain rides, be sure to use FP+ so that wait time for them is limited. Yes be ready for it being more crowded, but it is certainly doable. We live...

    Where is Bullseye? and is Star Tours stuck on Episode 1?

    Last night we rode on the left (Gate E) and the on the right (Gate A), so the theory that one side got the new Episode 8 variation while the other side got the mixed version was not evident yesterday.

    Where is Bullseye? and is Star Tours stuck on Episode 1?

    Took our first walk through Toy Story Land and saw Woody, Buzz, Jessie, green army men but there is no Bullseye to be seen anywhere, either as a statue or a painting or character. Boo. Bullseye is my favorite. If THE THEME PARK THAT MUST NOT BE NAMED, can do Donkey and blue Raptor meet and...

    Why are there no Star Wars: A galactic Spectacular fireworks listed times for June?

    Without the big fireworks they had in earlier versions of the show, it isn't nearly as impressive as it once was, now really just a bunch if clips and some fire effects, not worth the time. IMHO. OWD

    They changed the fish. . . . .

    We were staying in a small town in Arkansas and ate at a local Southern kitchen, housed in a beautiful mansion. Best Catfish I've ever had. Local spots are the best.

    To Chicken for HHN!!

    I'm claustrophobic and i don't do black mazes, dark rooms, etc. How dark are these houses? Are they really tight?

    They changed the fish. . . . .

    It was not Cod, I've had Cod before and enjoyed it, what we had was not Cod. OWD

    They changed the fish. . . . .

    At the walk up for fish and chips at Epcot, we went to have our standard two piece that we have come to enjoy so much and think it is one of the better priced meals. When we mentioned to the order taker how much we enjoyed the dish, she told us we were going to love it even more as they just...

    Back from our rainy, but fabulous trip! 5/16-5/24/18

    "Never sit in the last row of a log on Splash Mountain. I mentioned this important Disney life lesson on another thread, but it’s worth repeating. Don’t agree to be sat there unless you want your bottoms to be soaked." Oh sure, now you tell me. Rode is last night and walked away with a very...

    Would you pay these prices? Help!

    After sailing on our 1st Disney cruise a week ago, short answer is no. The "Disney" difference isn't worth the ever increasing rate differences between Disney and other cruise lines.

    We also were on the Dream last week, here are our thoughts

    Temperatures in Florida and the Caribbean have trended well below normal this spring. The air temps only got to about 80-82 all four days and the evening temps well into the lower 60s, with a rather stiff breeze. At night, you needed long pants and a jacket (or wrapped yourself in a towel) to...

    We also were on the Dream last week, here are our thoughts

    Actually, one morning we turned on Hercules. I absolutely love James Woods as Hades. A very under-rated film IMHO. OWD
