Here is the way I see it. It is all about what stage of life, parenthood, and attitude is. We have been going to WDW for a long time now and our kids are grown (29 and 24) and we continue to go just DW and I. Early on with the kids it was all about doing as much as they wanted to do when we...

I don't ever see them allowing you to book same day FP's on your phone. They do not monitor people as they exit the park so as earlier posters have said, you could hit your 3 FP's by noon and start booking your next park as you took the boat, bus or monorail to that park. Even the old sytem...

Only if they know in advance the ride will be closed. Otherwise you can't use it till after the time it was scheduled for. We went to BTMRR at the designated FP time and the ride had shut down and we got the e-mail at that time saying we could ride any ride listed the rest of the day. In...

Sorry, just read the e-mail better and from what it says I would guess they are closing early for a private party so yeah it means you have a good all day FP for Toy Story Mania or any of the other rides. I would only say be careful because if you use the all day pass to ride any of those rides...

I assume you are there today. This happened to us at BTMRR as it was donw when we approached to use our FP. What it meant for us was that we could use that FP for any of the rides it listed anytime after our FP time for BTMRR, including BTMRR if it were to come back later in the day which is...

Thanks puffkin!! You put into words pretty much what our experience was on our trip from 6/13 to 6/20. The FP+ worked for us. Initially I was a little bummed that the best FP I could get for 7DMT was at 8:15 PM but it turned out that was our seconf time to MK on the trip and on that day we...

Like any other modification Disney has ever made, how good or bad it is for you and your family is based on your touring style. We just got back and had no problems with the system. In my humble opionion what the system has allowed is an opportunity for non planners to get on some of the...

We just got back last Friday and we too were disappointed that TTA was not available. We use it as many do to rest and relax for a while. That said I understand the need for refurbishment of rides and attractions as well as DTD and several of the resorts but as I think about our last visit it...

I am certain that the issue is contained to AP's only. I say that because I logged on to My Disney Experience and tried to reserve a FP and was told I had no active ticket (we don't have AP's) so I could not get one. Since an AP is active for the whole year the system does not know when you...

Had to take a few minutes to comment on our latest trip. Just the wife and I and we had a great time. There are a few things that were disappointing but for the most part it was a great trip. Issues: Seems that there are currently a ton of projects going on. Disney must be doing okay...

All fuels, race gasoline or otherwise all come from the same refineries, out of the same crack towers. The difference is in the blend after the refining process. There are several ways to get octanes higher. One is the use of naptha, another is with gas oil, while yet another is the injection...

The governments definition of E-85 is any fuel blended with more than 50% ethanol. Also there are state and federal mandates of the RVP (Reed Vapor Pressure) of fuel that must be met and ethanol raises RVP so at certain tines of the year they must use less ethanol to meet the standard.

I work for a major oil company in the retail fuels division. ULSD Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel is required by law in the US. It is also referred to as ULSD #2. ULSD #1 is actually closer to kerosene and is for cold climates and winter use. When ULSD is used for off road purposes, ATV's boats...

Welcome to Texas! It is a great place to live no matter what anyone tells you. I have lived in the Houston area my entire life with the exception of about a year and a half when I lived in Calgary, Alberta. There are some really nice places on the north side of Houston to live but the key...

Being a somewhat admitted statistics and numbers sort of geek, I think about these things often. When I do this is what I come up with. I am not sure of the total numbers because Disney does not release them but it is acknowledged that they have the highest attended amusement parks in the...

I see both sides of this issue but as for us it is a combination of a lot of things that drive us to stay onsite. I really have no debate with DW about where to stay so we really don't think about how to convince someone to stay onsite but when I did finally think about these were my pro's...

We tried the Plaza for the first time last trip. Walk up waited 20 minutes and were seated. We really enjoyed it because the wife wanted a banana split the whole vacation and finally got one there. I had the Rueben and it was great. We usually pay OOP so no issue with credits. La Cantina...

Thanks for answering the GAC question, I think? Yes a person with money paid a tour guide. a tour gude that is advertised on a site that mainly accomidates challenged children and adults touring WDW, or Universal, or Sea World, or a DUde Ranch, or several other trips. In a seperate section of...

I have read the article, gone to the companies web sight and posted on several threads on this on other boards. While I find the practice distasteful I also see a very big irony at work as well and a potential for some harm moving forward. First a question. Are there varying levels of...
