Although the archway is missing there, it still allows for some good photo, because you can pose right in front of the sign: Walt Disney World Hotel Plaza Blvd. Entrance Sign by Reto Kurmann, on Flickr Walt Disney World Hotel Plaza Blvd. Entrance Sign by Reto Kurmann, on Flickr This...

That's right - Blizzard Beach water park, near Animal Kingdom.

Last month, I flew with Orlando Helicopter Tours and did the Disney/Sea World Combo Tour for $75/person. http://www.orlandohelitours.com/disney-seaworld-combo.aspx Was a real nice experience. You'll fly 700 ft above ground for around 15 mins. I had friends with me who are in the helicopter...

The characters absolutely don't judge you by your age. Even I had some great interaction with them. In fact, meeting characters is one of my very favorite activities. What definitely helps for a great interaction, is to bring a prop related to their story or character. They really love if you do...

One of my most magical moments was a very surprising private meet & greet with my all-time favorite character, Baloo. On November 7, 2012, I happened to be at the Magic Kingdom park, where I attended the 11:00am performance of the Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party. With the idea...

Last Monday, I had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet Mowgli. Was VERY surprised to see him out at the Animal Kingdom. He was at Bradley Falls, the location which used to serve as a meet & greet for Baloo (my favorite!) & King Louie until last year: Photopass - Meeting Baloo & Mowgli -...

I've videotaped it::) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLGuK1WkdVs (starts at around 7:45), so the whole ride from the GF to the AK took 20 minutes. Remember that the bus comes from the Wilderness Lodge, thus might arrive with standing room-only. Also, there's at stop at Blizzard Beach in...

Back in November 2009, I had a 8:20am reservation at the CP. Guests were allowed into the park at around 7:50. While I wasn't the first one in line, I ran across Town Square and managed to be the very first guest on Main Street that morning. This was my sight: Alone on Main Street USA in...

The real low tide you see on the photo was captured at 3:35pm and I think it started to drain around 2pm. However, the water was never deep enough for any real swimming, waist-high at best. It wasn't disturbing for me and if you want to get into depper water, just walk around the corner to the...

No, actually, they never replied. Well, I guess we can imagine anyway what the answer would have been: Not for sale/too expensive. However, I might soon have what I'd like to have. A friend of mine is a skilled model builder and he's trying to create a 4 ft 9 in large replica of the castle -...

Some pics from my 5-night stay in early November 2012: Disney's Wilderness Lodge - Swimming Pool Area by Reto Kurmann, on Flickr Wilderness Mercantile Store at Disney's Wilderness Lodge - Walt Disney World by Reto Kurmann, on Flickr Wilderness Mercantile Store at Disney's...

Basically yes, but you're not permitted to sit on the verandah during the fireworks. A letter, which you'll find in your stateroom on Pirate Night will tell you to keep your verandah door closed and remain inside your room (or on deck of course) for fire safety reasons. Wind wasn't that bad...

10658 is basicall mirrored to 10158. You'll have a view of the family beach at Castaway Cay from your verandah if you stay in 10658. Otherwise I can't think of any advantages or disadvantages. I was in 10158 last month and LOVED it. The extra space sure is nice to have. Here's a video tour...

Had a great stay at the AoA early last month. What better thing to actually stay in the middle of a favorite movie - which is why I choosed a Lion King Suite. What I loved the most was that huge picture of Simba inside the pull-down bed. That is so CUTE!:thumbsup2 They should sell a poster of...

Fantasy 10158 and 10160 - Station M - on Deck 4 Aft.

Here's a photo with the models they sell onboard the Fantasy. I took this on the November 10 Western Caribbean. Merchandise Selection in the Stores of the Disney Fantasy by Reto Kurmann, on Flickr I, for myself, would LOVE to have a model in the size of like the ones that are on display at...

Sorry, can't tell. Didn't have any kids with me.

Actually, the water was pretty warm - 78°F. It was a warm day, too with no rain showers, just some clouds moving in in the afternoon.

I'm back from my FANTASTIC cruise and really enjoyed the time in Cabana #17. Although #17 is at the very end, the location still isn't too bad, because you're at the far end of the private beach area - meaning it can't get any quieter. Pretty low tide in the afternoon with water being just...

Yest, the verandah photo of 10160 was taken at 8:58am while docked in Cozumel. However, you will have some shade most of the time.
