    What is with the photo obsession?

    AMEN to that! I am normally a very calm person but a person with an ipad monopolizing the entire space in front of me and blocking my childrens' view, well, that turns me into a stark raving lunatic!!;)

    Here now, and here is the problem

    We noticed this when we were there last week in October. Granted, not a huge crowed level time, but still we noticed standby lines were much longer than we had experienced the last time we went in October. We were not a part of the FP+/MB testing, so we had KTTW cards that we could still scan...

    any one take the Pirates and Pals cruise to see MK fireworks?

    We liked it well enough. The pre-cruise stuff was fun, we really "felt" like we were getting special treatment by being a part of this experience. Kids enjoyed the snacks (can you say free Mickey bars??), but we thought the fireworks cruise itself was just so so. Maybe cause we were on the...

    Recent Photopass experiences?

    We were there Oct. 21-28 and used PP+ on the red card. I have mixed feelings. I spent what I would consider a decent amount of money on the service (even with pre-trip purchase discount) and most of our pics were mediocre at best. We didn't encounter one single PP photographer near the tree...

    FYI- Photopass System Outage

    I was just on the photopass website today and edited a few pics an ordered my cd no problems. The site issues seem to be fixed at the moment, so order up if you need to before it goes down again.;) All I did was change a few sizes, add a few borders, and make some of our pics black & white...

    DTD parking

    2 weeks ago we parked in the Marketplace lot with no problems. The parking lots will indicate whether full or not at the traffic light out front of it, but that doesn't always tell you the whole story. We had a dinner ressie at T-Rex at 6pm on a Thursday night, so we left our resort on I-drive...

    FYI- Photopass System Outage

    I thought it was 14 days prior to your trip to get the discount, but I could be wrong. If you do it after the 14 days but prior to your arrival on property, I think you get your voucher at check in, then you take that voucher to any photo center at either the parks or Downtown Disney to...

    Is Food and Wine ruining Epcot for families?

    I think F&W is an awesome event and something many people, both local and not, look forward to every year. It would be ridiculous to deem it "adult only" at any point and I do believe that most of us with young families know what is and what is not appropriate for our children. That being...

    Photopass Plus Is The Worst

    Did you happen to visit Enchanted Tales With Belle? Everyone participating in the show gets the same photopass card at the end of the experience. I didn't think about it then, but when I got home and added the card to my photopass account, almost 100 additional pics showed up. And they were...

    BOG lunch lines

    I don't know if it really IS free refills but we got refills a week or so ago when we were there and had no problems doing so.:thumbsup2 We got in line around 1:30 on the 27th (a Sunday), posted wait was 45 minutes and the line looked long as it was over the bridge and about half way down the...

    So, tell me about being escorted out after dinner...

    We didn't stick around and I would have felt very uncomfortable doing so, but what am I supposed to do, just pack it up at 4pm when party guests are allowed to enter the park and call it a day?? Put blind folds over our eyes and be led out the back door so we don't "accidentally" see or feel...

    So, tell me about being escorted out after dinner...

    If my general admission is valid until 7pm, I should be able to do whatever I want within the park up until 7pm. That includes shopping, eating, riding rides or meeting with characters. I am entitled to my full day just as you are entitled to your hard ticket party during valid admission...

    DHS - Counter Service Options?

    Ohhh, she will LOVE Pizza Planet! We ate there just last week with our 3 & 6 year olds and they loved it. We all did! Food was decent & prices were not totally outrageous. Just watch the hours as they close before the park closes so if it's something you really want to do make sure they're...

    So, tell me about being escorted out after dinner...

    We just returned from WDW on Monday and spent Sunday (a MNSSHP night) at MK. Had a 6:30 ADR at Tony's and didn't have party tickets. We had a very nice meal there, weren't rushed at all. Walked out of the restaurant at our own free will (no escort) right onto Main Street at about 8pm. Party...

    Splash Mountain - time for a major rehab

    I would still get it and if the ride looks like it's going to be down during your return time you could always try to reschedule it. Splash was down most of the day when we were there Sunday. It was up early, then down by 11am, so we rode Big Thunder Mtn and did some other stuff. Kept...

    Just back - Not happy with Photopass +

    I understand it's not the photographer's fault that people blink and move and stand behind someone 7 feet tall so their face is blocked, but all the photographer has to do is take a handful of shots. Some people will blink in every shot (I have a coworker who always has her eyes closed in...

    Current Crowd levels right now?

    Yep. We just returned today after spending the 21st-27th in the parks. Our first MK day was just NUTS!!! People everywhere. FPs (paper, not plus) were completely out by 10am most days, standby lines easily reaching 45-70 minutes early in the day and staying that way all the way up to park...

    Sofia the First AM wait times

    We were there on Friday and experienced much the same. Skip Woody/Buzz, head straight to the Sofia line at park open if this is important to you. Once they start running the PlayHouse Disney show, you will have several hundred people emptying out of the theater next to Sofia and Jake every 50...

    1 day at Epcot nervous about the crowds this Saturday

    All I have to say is GOOD LUCK!;) We just returned today from a week long stay at Disney. We were at EPCOT on Tuesday (the 22nd) and let me just say it was crowded in World Showcase, especially once dinner time hit. It was a sea of people and pretty much wall to wall. There was an Eat to...

    Never before have a seen the touring plans so inaccurate!

    I think they are issuing LESS fast passes, thus forcing more people to ride standby. At least it feels that way. Many rides today had 60+ minute waits. We got lucky and did Princess Fairytale Hall right after our breakfast at CRT ( cause Belle was already at an hour wait by 9:30 when we...
