    Jiko Recommendations Please

    They had a corn/maize soup with harissa creme fraiche and crab a couple of years ago as an app. I can still taste it now :tongue: Also like the pork shank and of course the filet

    Stop using flash!

    It just needs more patrolling by Disney doing tannoy announcements when people use flash, I'm sure they have CCTV on all the dark rides don't they?

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Just seems crazy there are over 1600 'standard' rooms that sleep up to 4 but nothing is showing as available. Even some searches I do only offer a king room if I change it to 2 people

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    I'm sure I mentioned this a few pages ago but I still find it incredible the lack of standard rooms available for next September (in the UK we can book next year now). I have tried all dates from 20th sept to 28th and only king rooms are available. Once I hit the 29th there are some standard...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    I am doing it in the UK and it lets me select dates up to Dec 2017. Their latest promotion over here is free dining for 2017 trips so it offers all those dates for booking.

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Just thinking about next year and putting some test bookings through on the Disney site... Coronado hardly seems to have any double queen rooms left for next sep/oct... anyone know why this is? All it keeps offering me is king rooms based on sat/sun arrival in the last 2 weeks of sept 2017 for...

    Has anyone decorated their Magic Bands? Please show us the pictures!

    As I'm in the UK I don't have my bands yet, but I got my Magic Your Band skins through the post today. I did the Monorail and Iron Man ones for myself, and the Lilo/Sitch and Nemo for my wife (although I might nab one of the Nemo ones for myself cos it's my favourite

    How did Horizons work?

    From some research I was doing on Horizons: From George McGinnis - “At the time there was talk in technical journals of using technology to project images on subway tunnel walls. They would travel with the trains and be used for advertisements. I suggested it for an element in the Horizons...

    Disney Tattoos

    I got a couple more Disney ones last week. Being an Epcot geek, and to go with my Epcot logo/symbol one, I designed a abstract pattern based on the Spaceship Earth tiles to go next to it: And whilst I was there, I filled a gap on the back of my leg with one I've been wanting for a while. I...

    Coronado Springs Resort - New Unofficial FAQ Thread - November 2012

    Does anyone know why the end of September/beginning of October is busy there next year? I tried a few 14-17 night stay bookings, and most dates didn't have availability at CSR (all other mods were fine), and if it did then it was king room only (which I think get filled last anyway). Can't see...

    "Keep Calm And Dole Whip"!

    There isn't a connection, it's just a popular meme that has spread over the last few months. Here in the UK there are countless variations on shirts, bags, posters etc everywhere you look, you just change the wording to "keep calm and ....." and fill in the rest for whatever you like...

    Florida's Crazy Weather

    Our best must be December 2010 - we went to Disney to get married, we normally go Sept/Oct time, but I choose the start of December as we love xmas and I read it was both quiet and had 'nice' weather, around 70 degrees (we are used to Sept/Oct time so wanted something slightly cooler). However...

    I think I love Coronado...Talk to me Coronado fans

    The buffet breakfast/lunch is on the DDP (1x QS credit) FWIW, we love Coronado, and are going back again this year for another 3 weeks (did 3 weeks there in 2009 and it was great), the resort is lovely and has it's distinct areas which are nice to walk around. It certainly does have a deluxe...

    What if you won......

    I wonder how much it'd cost to build a new park, or a new pavillion at Epcot. That would be cool to say you had a part in that Apart from that I think I'd do what most of you have said, although being from the UK I'd have to emigrate to Florida first before doing the house buying etc :goodvibes

    Identify this music from Epcot

    All I can say is thank goodness I clicked on this thread! Since 2009 I have been trying to find this music, as I love sitting outside Universe of Energy with a frozen coke and can just hear this in the background.... so thanks!

    Victoria &Albert's: menu choices?

    They are pretty good with accommodating dietary requirements when you phone to make your ADR. For example I told them that my wife didn't like seafood, so when we received our menus at the start of the meal my fish course was still the standard choices, whereas my wife had a pork belly dish...
