    My 2 cents on the young child/alligator tragedy at the Grand Floridian

    After all these years and the abundance of alligators in the state in Florida, why doesn't the sign say beware of alligators? Or at least some words that alert the guest of the credible potential danger?

    Anyone else's Disney World "expertise" cause them problems?

    My 'in-depth' knowledge of WDW has caused me great concern. I may not go back to the world anytime soon. I listen to the DisUnplugged because I enjoy it. I indulge in the fantasy of planning of trip. But knowing what I know about crowed levels, having make ADRs, scheduling experiences sours my...

    DIS Unplugged Show Feedback and Suggestions

    I can't believe the podcast hasn't even mentioned the PBS series. I'm really surprised. There should be a segment where everyone talks about the show American Experience Walt Disney

    First time visit to Disneyland and beyond questions

    I really want to visit Disneyland. I've been to WDW 4 times. I need some help deciding what else to do once we are finished with both parks. I would love to see the Pacific Ocean. Any advice on how do do that from Anaheim? Is Newport Beach nice? Worth the trip? I've only got 4 nights at...

    changes to GAC with AP issued at WDW

    I also felt guilty about the GAC when I acquired it for my 8 yr old daughter with autism. The guilt was only due to the fact that I knew I would be able to use another entrance for her and me. And that entrance would benefit us by not having to wait on a long line. However, Disney provides this...

    WL versus AK - transportation

    I really enjoyed my stay at the WL. Getting to the MK was blissfully easy because it is a ferry boat ride. But EPCOT was another story because of the bus. In my case, it was especially difficult on my autistic child, waiting on line is torture for her and for anyone around her. So for our next...

    Explosive Tantrums

    FYI here is the link to the school http://www.mccartonschool.org/ They do both, they are a school and they are a place you can take your child for a dx. I have not gone myself but my friend took her 3 year old. It is quite a thorough examination that could take 2 full days. They are well...

    Fantasmic and GAC

    I am curious about this same topic as well. I am considering the same strategy for our trip next year. I have one DD on the austism spectrum. The GAC worked wonderfully for our family at EPCOT. However, on our next trip I would very much like to see Fantasmic. My fear is that the crowd that...

    Explosive Tantrums

    I see you are in NJ. Have you tried taking him to the McCarton school in Manhattan? they are quite thorough and will find the right diagnosis as well as the right approach (which may not be just meds but perhaps, with a concentration on behavioral therapy.) My DD9 had only one explosive...

    Dining Reservations for our vacation

    My only concern is your Sunday meals having a TS at 8am and then another one at 7pm. With two young children will they too tired for a 7pm ADR? And that one is Chef Mickey which is great fun but quite loud. I'm guessing you are going to squeeze in a big nap late in the day in order to make that...

    Just not understanding the "free" dining... little help?

    From now on I'm going to call disney reservations to price out rooms and then price out the vacation with free dining. I think you will get far more information, and be able to understand it a whole lot more, if you call rather than fiddle with the online reservation systems. I find the...

    I've waited a year for this moment and its almost here. :cool1: The local store at the mall closed and I was left without my disney stuff fix. I'm really glad they moved the location of the new store to times square. It was not a great location on 5th location. Times Square is lot more...

    John's and Walter's Great One Liners!

    I vote for "sad little crab cake." That will look good on a t-shirt, bumper sticker, or on a dinner plate. Brings a little smile to my face every time I say it. :goodvibes

    If YOU could work at Disney...

    How do you suppose we could get park management attention? I really think having a main street library is a great idea. Something I can see Walt envisioning as part of the American way of life. Do you really think a lot of people would go for this idea? And I'm not talking a book store. A real...

    I'm a high school librarian. My daydream is to runaway to WDW and become the Main Street Librarian. Really. Don't you think Main Street could use a library?;)

    Which is more fun?

    They are both so much fun to listen to. But what if you are the target of the bad review or the rant? :confused3 I've often wondered if the managers from the restaurants catch wind of the bad review from Kevin? Do you think any changes are ever made? I remember the review of Shutters. That was...
