I'm wondering if this won't be "fixed" as things progress as Disney realizes people are skipping out after 3 hours and the system will then make you pick one "morning", one "afternoon" and one "evening FP+. I can't decide if they actually want people to spend less time in the actual parks...

This is an interesting thought experiment. The math I used was taking the reported 17 million yearly attendance and dividing by 365 to get a sense of the daily attendance, which is about 47,000, and then using the highest current ticket price for MK which is $100. So I was thinking if they...

They could make Magic Kingdom into a Discovery Cove like playground for those who could afford it, but I think most of us would not want that. It would solve the problem of crowds and FP+, though. They could sell only 5,000 tickets each day with unlimited riding of all rides with short lines...

I am not impressed with this new ability to download my photos. I purchased PP+ a month ago in preparation for a marathon trip with my girlfriends. I live in Africa. Downloading 100 or more full size photos will literally take days on the network we have here. I was expecting the CDs. I truly...

Last year I planned a big reunion trip for 2 families, 10 total people, 5 coming in from Africa, 2 running the Goofy Challenge, complete with hotels, dining, theme parks, Pirates League, among other adventures. I felt confident with my planning abilities and by this time last year we had...

I'll be flying about 10,000 miles in January to run Dopey! It's a looooooong flight from South Africa.

Disney Parks Blog shows a preview: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/04/get-a-sneak-peek-at-pirates-of-the-caribbean-treasures-of-the-seven-seas/ Says it is included with park admission and it looks pretty darn cool.

To the OP, just wanted to give you my experience. I started running in Feb. 2012. I had never run further than my car into Target during a rain storm until then. I had moved across the world and needed something to keep me busy and decided running would work. In March, I convinced a running...

I just got a pair of Brooks Glycerin 10 in pink and grey and am enjoying them a lot. I'm alternating them with my Brooks Pureflow right now. I'm wearing the Glycerin on my first trail run the first week of May..

We were just there at the beginning of March. I speak French but at the parks, restaurants and hotels in Disneyland Paris, I barely used it. The concierge spoke 4 languages fluently right in front of me. Amazing. All the characters we met spoke fluent English to the kids. We stayed at the...

Actually, my 4-year-old did just that when we were there in January. They were directing those of us with RFID Key to the World cards through the special readers at AK. We were a big group of 10 people, 5 adults, 5 kids. There were some issues with the readers working with some adult tickets and...

I just finished the Goofy Challenge two weeks ago. 39.3 miles plus a 5k over 3 days. Lots of fun. ;) But, I started running last February, so I only trained for 11 months. I say do it. There's nothing like a looming race in your future to get you motivated to train. Look on the runDisney Web...

Thank you! I will try that. Keep hope alive right. :)

Ha yeah I know. I kept saying, if only I could run an 8-minute mile I bet they'd still have food. But the crazy thing is, it is us slow runners out there in the heat for 6+ hours that need to food and drink more than the faster guys. It was amazing how many whole (but squished) bananas were on...

Well South Africa is in the southern hemisphere, so we went from 90 degrees in Africa, to 20 degrees in Kansas to see family to 80 degrees in Florida, so our bodies got a bit of a shock. Nearly all of us immediately caught colds, runny nose, coughs, etc. But on the plane back my son started...

Thanks for the tip! I checked our iPad and they don't seem to be there, but my mom says there's a chance they are on hers because they are linked? I am not getting my hopes up. It may be because it was an international phone and so iCloud works strangely here in Africa and I am wondering if I...

You will never forget such an amazing trip! I am way down in South Africa, but we have done many safaris here and they are truly unforgettable. We fly the nonstop flight Delta has from Atlanta to Johannesburg. It's between 15 and 17 hours in the air depending on the direction. That is a long...

No! We got the smaller photos at all the dining experiences. And some were even awesome and gave us different poses in the smaller photos, i.e. the big photo of all 10 of us and then smaller photos of our family of 5, our family of 5 with grandma and our friends' family of 4. What I meant was...

You're welcome! The RFID cards look just like MYW cards, they just have the "tap to enter" access for hotel doors and/or "tap to pay" at certain dining areas or shops. They also worked at the special RFID entrances at the parks. This trip, they were NOT connected to a FP+ test, so we did not get...

We got back Jan. 16th after a week-long stay that included running the Goofy Challenge and the Family Fun Run. Here's a few observations from our trip: 1) We stayed at the Art of Animation resort in a Nemo suite. It was beautiful. So new and shiny. My mom is an early bird and said she saw...
