Any update since 3/1?

I'm very familiar with WDW eateries, and find many of them to be mediocre to bad, especially for the price. We don't tend to eat at McDonald's, but I get OP's point. During a trip to WDW last summer we were VERY happy to eat carry out from Panda Express, even though I don't normally consider...

Just follow the signs to Epcot. It is well marked, though a smartphone with GPS can also be handy when driving around WDW.

I am surprised Space Mountain wasn't listed. It seems like the posted list was just for this past March. Our approach is now to kinda expect something will be down. On a recent visit, we got all the way around Epcot to Remy and it went down still during EE just after we got in line for it...

You should be able to get an early Na'vi. One thing to know is that Na'vi often opens earlier than the Safari. On very busy weeks, we've been able to book early Na'vi then an early Safari. Though we don't always try to also fit early FoP into our morning. Mostly, not that many people buy G+...

Ho boy ANOTHER thread asking about WDW in summer. Threads on this topic crop up like dandelions this time of year. If you use the search function, you'll find a large crop of them. I visit WDW in summer just about every summer. It is doable, but taking an afternoon break is advisable. Other...

In short, you need an AP to book the AP rate. It has always been the case that you had to have an AP to book online with AP rate, but it also used to be possible to book an AP rate via phone before actually buying, but then you had to show the AP at check-in/within24hours of arriving or else...

You should have quite a bit of opportunity to hit some other/additional rides if you use G+ and (as needed) stack for the PM. What we often do is G+ starting in AK/Epcot or Hs then hop to MK. Sometime before we hop to MK, we begin stacking G+ for 6pm or later. While it is possible to do all...

My idea of chilling at WDW is - more or less - a bit of commando, but only the parts we find stress-free. We almost always try to go with the flow though when we visit WDW. For me, sleeping until 10am then arriving to face long waits would = less relaxing. Commando means different things...

Keep in mind, you'll lose a fair amount of time hopping between the parks. How you get around will be a factor in how much you can do. Usually, getting to MK takes the longest. If you start in AK, then later going between HS and Epcot isn't too bad. I think it is VERY optimistic to think you...

If you can manage all the peripheral hours, AM and PM, they are both useful. For MK, buying G+ is worthwhile if you'll be staying long enough to use a number of passes. I don't feel like G+ is worthwhile for AK, also questionable for Epcot. Look ahead of your trip at MDE, though know the wait...

When the ride was new, just...Figment was insight into the minds of the Imagineers. Something that was new and fresh at the time. not only was the ride itself fun, but the post ride area was also chock full of really exciting toys that were carefully cultivated. They were not Disney character...

Can anyone suggest a hotel that has a view of the construction site? For clarification, I'm not asking what future (Universal owned) hotels will have a view of the new park, but rather if any currently open hotel rooms offer a good view. It looks like maybe the Hilton Las Palmeras might have a...

It might help if you list some of the options they are considering. I wouldn't worry about getting/not getting G+ or ILL's that time of year. At any time of year, it is possible to miss out on the 7am virtual queues. If so, you can try to the 1pm drops, and have a good chance of getting them...

They tend to fill every seat, but the seats each have individual lap restraints, so there is some space between them. We often use the single rider lines on attractions. A number of times I have ridden with first-timers on just about every WDW and Universal attraction who were a bit...

IMO, that is true for every season of the year when it comes to WDW. They all have trade-offs like sky high prices, crowds, variable weather, variable park hours, etc. No matter what time of year, staying hydrated is key. It is just a little more important in summer. In summer/busy weeks, we...

It is a great hotel, and a short drive. It is especially close to Epcot. You could go either way and be just fine. I've done many split stays when visiting Orlando. In your case, I'd probably stay put. The location is a very easy way into WDW, and then you won't lose time moving hotels...

Epcot has changed a great deal since the 1990's! Many of the old attractions have been replaced with new ones. The Flower Festival also adds some fun. It is fairly easy to spend almost a whole day just snacking around the park taking in all the topiaries. IMO, the food has been a bit up and...

I second riding Tron with your arms out in front of you like Superman. If you do that, then the launch is a short rush of fun. The theming is a bit disappointing, IMO. It is supposed to be game. The full preshow is fun. It is also a little fun if you wave to people below. Even after...

I also vote for an Epcot day. I'd be sure to use at least one day for AK. Under the current system, I find HS frustrating to visit. If you don't buy G+, expect long lines. If you do buy G+, expect the worthwhile options to run out by noon. We usually skip Rise. If we have limits, we skip HS...
