I plan on renting either an ecv or a wheelchair at the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. I have some trouble with long periods of sitting. I need to use a cushion for ease of pain. Most wheelchairs accomodate my cushion with no problem. BUT...I really want to rent an ecv so I don't need someone in my...

I've been travelling to the Orlando theme parks since 1973, when there was only 1 park. Over the years I've looked forward to every expansion, upgrade, whatever, at each and every park. Is it just me or have recent expansions (though well executed with a few great rides) been light on the rides...

I just made reservations for the Hoop de Doodinner show. This is the first time I've gone without staying at the resorts. We'll be staying at a friend's condo nearby. I've seen directions to Pioneer Hall on line, but need to clarify them a little. I think what we need to do first is drive to...

I am NOT a fan of roller coasters. That being said, I got in line for this ride soon after it was opened, not knowing what to expect. When I realized it was a dark coaster, I was a little nervous, but was talked into staying for the ride. Frankly, it wasn't at all a bad experience. It's no...

By "secret spots", I mean places to find the unadvertised, unexpected things at the parks. I know about the talking trash cans in Tomorrowland, but where exactly are the talking water bubblers in EPCOT? And the "don't pull the rope" thing in the Indiana Jones queue...are there other spots like...

What's the latest on the Dueling Dragons? Are they still running a single Dragon, or are the Dragons back to Dueling?

Thanks for the ideas! We've got a Mickey cookie cutter and will use it to make sandwiches as suggested. I also like the idea of character shaped food and will go on line to find some. The Newbies in the group range in age from 18 months to 65! The Pros are determined to give them a great trip...

I need some help only forum members can supply! We're heading to WDW at the end of next month. There are 11 of us in all, 6 Newbies and 5 Disney pros. The pros are having a "get-to-know-the-parks" pre-trip party on Labor Day for the Newbies. We've got lots of activities planned, but would like...

I've also read that there have already been updates to screens and projection equipment. I'm thinking, if the upgardes are technical rather than cosmetic, this should be a short rehab, maybe even completed after-hours.

I'm not fond rollercoasters and terrified of anything with a drop (like Tower of Terror) but Spiderman is awesome! The special effects are amazing and the 3-D puts you in the middle of the action. I'd just suggest to your daughter that if she finds it too frightening just look away or close...

Where in Adventureland is Tinkerbell's Nook Meet-and-Greet?

I've continued to search for any posts about Spidey's closing. I came across this post on Trip Advisor: “ Spiderman not closing til after Nov ” May 21, 2011, 4:29 AM I emailed Universal to ask when Spiderman was closing for it's refurb, I have just received an email back from them...

I've found a Feb. 2011 posting on Screamscape asying the ride will close down in "8 to 10 months" for rehab. That would put it closing somewhere in the Oct. to Dec. range. I hope it's after our trip the week of Oct. 1st!

It just said "Please note that Spider-Man is closing sometime at the end of the summer for a major refurbishment". Though I've read about the proposed updates to Spider-Man, this is the only place I've read about a possible closing date.

I read on the Orlando Informer's Wizarding World of Harry Potter Touring Plan Version 3.5 that it was going to be closed sometime at the end of the summer for the rehab.

Spiderman is one of my family's all-time favorite rides. We're going to IOA the first week in October with 5 "newbies" in our group of 11. We've talked up Spiderman big time. Now I read that it's due to close sometime soon for rehab. How soon? Will it be open in October?

I'm not a roller coaster person either. I went on the Mummy ride the first year it was open. I had no idea it was a roller coaster until I was half-way through the queue. I decided to brave it anyway since I'm a big fan of anything Ancient Egyptian. It wasn't bad at all. If you survived Space...

Thanks! I just read that the Cantina will open for lunch and the Hacienda will open at 4PM. Nothing about the San Angel Inn. One article I read yesterday said they were adding 55 more seats in the Inn....like, where?? It was a tight fit before. Maybe they're taking some of the retail space for...

My first trip to WDW was in 1973. Since then I've introduced the rest of my family to the wonders that are WDW and they've all become die-hard Disney fanatics! We've now started on our third generation of Disney-holics with the birth of my grand-niece Brooklyn. She will be making her first trip...

I've been reading about the changes coming to the Cantina San Angel in Mexico. I understand the new Hacienda and I think it's a great idea. What I'm confused about is the San Angel Inn inside Mexico. One article I read (and I can't for the life of me find it again!) said that it, too, would be...
