WDW Do's & Don'ts from the travel "experts" at AOL

[PryncessChrysty]

This was one of the rotating stories on the AOL main page today. When I saw the pic of the Poly pool come up, I felt the familiar twinge of excitement I get whenever I see anything that has to do with Disney outside of my little bubble. That excitement was quickly replaced by confusion and frustration as I read through each page. I can only hope that the people reading the article will find their way to the DIS for some real do's & don'ts. I will say, it's not 100% wrong, but on the whole, is VERY misleading. Only deluxes offer free airport shuttles and only some of the time?? I can get early entry to a different park EACH day, and again, only at a deluxe?! Spring for a VIP tour guide so you don't have to go through the frustration of planning, but the next page says to map out a detailed plan. :confused3
Their 'don't' about staying at a Value, it completely contradicts itself within the paragraph. Oh yeah, and apparently you can get as many FP's as you want until they run out!! But I will say that I wasn't too upset with their statement that you must come back during the 1 hour time frame posted on the FP ;)

ERR.. these articles annoy me!!

Disney has eight "deluxe" resorts, such as Disney's Polynesian Resort, if you're after convenience and comfort. They're fancifully designed, well-situated, and, like all on-campus hotels, offer guests early entrée to a different park each day, free parking, and sometimes free airport shuttles. Less expensive, if a bit less thrilling: Starwood's Dolphin, Starwood's Swan, and a Hilton -- three of the better non-Disney-owned hotels that have sprouted right on Disney's turf.

There are four Disney theme parks to tackle: The Magic Kingdom (kiddie rides and the iconic castle), Epcot (World's Fair fare), Disney's Hollywood Studios (Tinseltown celebrated), and Animal Kingdom (lions and tigers and mice, oh my!).

I never even bother reading AOL's Disney stuff anymore, they are notoriously inaccurate.

I'll take mine as steak, please. :laughing:

I also read this article and thought . . . . WHAT!!! A guide for $175 an hour is necessary to have fun. :confused3

a number that the original "imagineer" never would have foreseen when he opened his ground-breaking amusement park in 1971, five years after his death.
he opened it from beyond the grave?
