    What area should we stay for non-park portion of trip?

    You could stay in the same hotel and just drive to those places, unless you want to experience a different part of town? I’d recommend staying in downtown Orlando or Winter Park. Lake Eola in downtown Orlando is really lovely, there’s several hotels around there including a brand new Hilton...

    Orlando checking in… luckily not a ton of damage to my house, but our metal patio gazebo was destroyed. I drove around today and one of the neighborhoods near me is flooded- the two lakes overflowed and connected, it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. There’s normally a street, sidewalk, and...

    Disney Wish Food Is A Letdown?

    So I’ve sailed on two preview cruises now and I thought the food, overall, was excellent. There’s hits and misses (the scrambled eggs at breakfast are awful) but overall everything is good to great. The scallops I had at Marvel were the best I’ve had, though I don’t eat them often. There’s also...

    How much time in Nassau?

    Hi all, from what I’ve read about Disney cruises, the time docked at port can vary. Can anyone tell me how long they usually dock in Nassau? I’m planning on visiting a friend who lives there and want to plan accordingly :) TIA!

    Son wants to get a BFA in photography, but we're worried about his employability with it...

    There’s definitely a lot of crossover with how much mechanical engineering is needed in sets (I know of someone who made a great living doing stage turntables and such in NYC). Also if she’s ever interested in working for Disney or another major theme park/themed design company, a lot of...

    Son wants to get a BFA in photography, but we're worried about his employability with it...

    I have a BA in Studio Art and now paint scenery and props for theme parks, mostly Disney (under the direction of Imagineers)… so, a degree in an art-related field doesn’t necessarily mean one will become a starving artist :)

    Bok tower gardens vs. leu Gardens

    I’ve never been to Bok Tower (though I’ve heard it’s lovely!), but I do love Leu Gardens. It’s also close to a lot of great shops and restaurants, if that interests you (Bok Tower is in a more rural area). Down the street from Leu Gardens is East End Market, home of the original Gideon’s...

    Minnie Mouse Maleified at Disney Paris?

    Why are people so upset over a brief outfit change happening for a specific event in Disneyland Paris?! Minnie has so many different outfits, this is just one more. This isn’t becoming her new default outfit for all media. It’s not even the first time she’s been in pants- her DCL captain outfit...

    Jeopardy new host announced

    It’s not cancel culture, it’s being held accountable and facing consequences for terrible conduct.

    Moving to Orlando new home companies

    Since he’s going to be working on the east side of town, I would look at living over there, unless you want to commute via toll roads and add that cost to your bills each month, plus the cost of gas. Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park, Winter Park, Conway and parts of downtown Orlando would be easier...

    Moving to Orlando new home companies

    There’s plenty of areas where you can work, live, and play without getting on I-4 and want to be near Disney. Dr. Phillips, Winter Garden, Windermere, and Clermont, just to name a few. What you call a “pop-up” community are referred to as “masterplanned communities” here; a walled off...

    I live in Orlando and still see most people, including most/all employees wearing masks.

    What word mispronounced drives you crazy??

    Kissimmee. It’s pronounced kis-SIM-mee, not KIS-im-mee.

    What was your neighborhood like while you were growing up?

    I moved around a ton as a kid/teen, but always went to school in the same small suburb, so I consider that my hometown. Very quaint, safe and established. My elementary school was literally 3 minutes from WDW, and going on field trips there was normal. Spent a lot of my childhood on property...

    Has anyone from the same sex ever make a pass at you

    Yes, I have. Although sometimes it goes over my head 😂 Alternatively, my gay roommate regularly gets hit on by women- he’s very handsome.
