    DD got an electrical shock/burn at CR!

    B3LM, Sorry about that. It is indeed negligence on the resorts part, but I doubt very much you are going to hear anything from them. Most likely they are hoping you forget the incident, and do nothing. It is up to you to contact them and tell them what you want. They aren't about to pursue...

    Just back..Disney Resorts are the worst!

    So true Peter, but I'm wondering when you went. You rode attractions 2 or 3 times? In one day or was this over the course of several weeks? When I was at WDW, about 4 weeks ago, I only wished I could ride the attractions 2 or 3 times. I couldn't even ride them once at MK 'cause it was so...

    Post here regarding WDW cutbacks, changes & Complaints

    jrgutknecht, You will LOVE FOTL, and as someone who just returned from visiting both WDW and Universal during Spring Break, There were definitely long lines and waits at Universal and IOA and FOTL let us breeze right past them. Not to mention that the Hard Rock is an awesome hotel. We...

    Horrible stay at the Dolphin!!!!!

    I also have to emphasize the avoidance of long distance from any hotel room. It's a fortune, but $ 43 for 6 minutes is puzzling. We stayed at the Swan a few weeks ago and my husband forgot his cell phone. He had to make some business calls, so just used the phone in the room since they would...

    Swan packed = bad experience (long)

    I'm surprised also by your experience. We stayed at the Swan 3 weeks ago, on the Club level, room 1212 (so probably had the same view, back of Boardwalk) the view didn't bother us one bit, but since we were up higher we could also see MGM. The beds were great (maybe they had been upgraded)...

    What are they building in World Showcase?

    Oh, so it's something they put in for the festival on a temporary basis? I was there 2 weeks ago. It was covered with high, painted boards so I couldn't see anything.

    What are they building in World Showcase?

    Sorry I don't have pictures, but there was definite construction going on. It was in that empty space where they have stands selling African souveniers. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

    What are they building in World Showcase?

    In between Norway and I think China, it looks like there is a new attraction going up. Just curious as to what it is. Does anyone know?

    Teacher's rate @ Swan/Dolphin

    I teach in the corporate world and DO NOT have a teaching certificate. I just returned from the Swan with the teachers rate. You only need a letter on letterhead from your employer stating that you teach. Verify this with reservationist if you like, but I was told this before my arrival and...

    Post here regarding WDW cutbacks, changes & Complaints

    Thanks again Eeyore. I think Universal had it as well. That's a very nice program, and well deserved, although next time I'll try and go when it's not in effect;) !

    Post here regarding WDW cutbacks, changes & Complaints

    Thanks Eeyore. I saw signs that said "Military Salute" while we were at Disney. What exactly is it? Are they offering discounts or free entry for military personnel?

    US refund after 15 mins!

    We were in Disney and Universal last week. Funny but we walked into MK, it was SOOOO crowded, with hour waits for everything, and we had to push our way through the crowds. We turned around, got our money back and left the park. This is the absolute truth. This was last Friday. On Monday...

    Post here regarding WDW cutbacks, changes & Complaints

    Raidermatt, I'm well aware that all the places you mentioned only want my money, I'm not so sure about some of those here, though. I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me either, but at the same time, don't tell me it's O.K. if the parks are jam packed. Maybe it's O.K. for you, but...

    Post here regarding WDW cutbacks, changes & Complaints

    Thanks Nuts4Disney. I sometimes feel as though it is forbidden to express negative opinions here. I get the feeling that for some, Disney can do no wrong, and the Disboards are some kind of 5th dimension, where people have blinders on and are happy to be at Disney, no matter what. It's just...

    Post here regarding WDW cutbacks, changes & Complaints

    As someone who has just returned from Disney (Wednesday night), I can tell you that the cutbacks in hours and EE severely limited our ability to see all the attractions we used to be able to visit, particularly in the busy March time frame (which, by the way is when we have always visited). We...

    Just back from the Swan, any questions?

    Thanks Dreamflight! I'm with you, it would be wonderful if Disney could come up with a great perk like FOTL! As it was we bumped into 4 other families from town who were no longer staying at Disney resorts as they had in previous years. 2 were staying at HRH and the other 2 at Portofino...

    Did anyone else notice all the DVC stands?

    Just an observation, but it seemed there was a kiosk selling Disney Vacation Club in every park, around every corner. I didn't notice any on our last visit 3 years ago. Seems like they are really hot on marketing these places!

    Just back from the Swan, any questions?

    Sorry I took awhile to get back, but I'm catching up on post vacation laundry! Glo, go right ahead and link this to any thread. mkymouse, We didn't face the dolphin, we faced the boardwalk, and could see MGM, and the fireworks of Epcot if we craned our necks. We never asked for any type...

    current US/IOA crowds?

    We just got back last night. We were staying on-site so had no waits, but I looked at all the wait times and they were considerably shorter than at WDW. Anywhere from 0 to 30 minutes, but Spiderman and MIB had 35-45 minute waits. If you want to avoid crowds, GO EARLY. There were...
