    Best compact camera to take pictures of fireworks/night shows?

    Your camera is fine. You just need to keep it from moving while the picture is forming. You need a tripod - even a small one - and a delayed shutter function (the self timer on most cameras). With a little practice, you'll be all ready. Fireworks pictures, especially if you are using a...

    The Sorcerors Hat has been removed...

    They took the bling off the castle. They got rid of the wand. They can move the BAH.

    The Sorcerors Hat has been removed...

    Put me down as a BAH hater. Move it somewhere else and I won't care, but it doesn't belong THERE... in the middle of "The Hollywood that never was, and always will be." Note to the OP with your sneaky title... might as well have killed Kenny.

    What do you wear to the parks?

    One tip for you people that just have to cram in as many rides as possible... "commando" isn't just a touring style.

    tell me about getting Autographs

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo! If the kid wants to get autographs from the characters, you kinda have to let them. Be prepared just in case. But for gosh sakes don't encourage it. A simple meet & greet is enough. If the kid gets the autograph bug, your Disney vacation will degrade into...

    Any reason *not* to split your purchase into smaller contracts?

    Right now, all members are equal. The 25-point owner gets all the rights and privileges as the 1000-point owner. In the future, probably the near future, that will likely change, IMO. Disney is itching to move to a system where people with more points get, at a minimum, more perks. Nobody...

    Any reason *not* to split your purchase into smaller contracts?

    I believe that in the future, it will be harder to sell many very small contracts than to sell fewer midsized contracts. Note that right now, that is not the case. Smaller = easier to sell. But I think (gut feeling) that per-contract closing costs will continue to rise, as will restrictions on...

    Imagineering Field Guides for a 14 Year Old Boy

    The oldest kid is getting a big "too cool" for Disney. Splash Mountain certainlly isn't thrilling enough to keep his attention. But I though we might be able to keep him interested with the Imagineering Field Guides. Don't just experience the rides, think about them. How do they work? What is...

    Favorite way to arrive at MK?

    Where's the option for "Waking up in Cinderella Castle?"

    Where is it written not to use a pool towel if you run out of towels?

    I wasn't saying they were comparable. I was disagreeing with Dean's statement that it is "it is absolutely (100% of the time) inappropriate for one member to ask another member to pay extra for something they will not use or benefit by." I believe it is sometimes appropriate to ask others to...

    Where is it written not to use a pool towel if you run out of towels?

    Now you've completely lost me. We all do this. I take Disney transportation to the park. We require all members to pay for Disney transportation. Those people who will not use or benefit by Disney transportation have to pay part of their dues to subsidize those of us who do. I never use...

    DVC Member Services - is there any COMPETENCE left???

    While MS isn't perfect, at least 90% of my calls have been flawless. Everything correct, CM actually a joy to talk to. If somebody is consistently needing multiple call to get things right, and is consistently having bad experienced, I wonder if they might not be doing something to...

    DVC expanding offsite - a good thing?

    Enough wanted to buy there to sell the resorts out. And that's really all that matters. This issue isn't objective. Is this timeshare better or worse than that timeshare. It's whether *some people,* enough people, perfer one timeshare over others. Which I think is what you are saying here...

    Where is it written not to use a pool towel if you run out of towels?

    So that works out to, what, 0.1-2 cents per point? A quarter per year for the average owner? I'm not saying taking the towels or right or wrong. I am saying that if such an incredibly petty thing is bothering somebody even a little bit, my honest advice - person to person - is to take a step...

    DVC expanding offsite - a good thing?

    That's kind of like saying EPCOT has had mixed success because Horizons and other attractions got shut down. I have no idea how successful ABD is. But you can't hold it against them if not every single tour has been successful.

    DVC expanding offsite - a good thing?

    "Better" often boils down to personal opinion. Most of your arguments for why offsite non-DVC timeshares are better than offsite DVC timeshares could apply to cruises as well. On paper, DCL is generally more expensive than other mainstream cruise-lines... and doesn't have nearly the features...

    What a difference a phone call makes - Vent

    Most CM's are good. Very good. But as with any large group, there are some duds. The second you realize you have a dud, politely end the conversation and call back.

    Where is it written not to use a pool towel if you run out of towels?

    The towel inventory cost is, what, 3 cents per use?? And Disney's laundry cost is undoubtedly a lot less than people washing towels in their rooms. For the record, I don't think I've ever taken a town from the pool up to my room, not washed a DVC towel for that matter. But if other people...

    Am I the only one that wishes the BLT lounge would be adults only?

    I would love to see adults only spaces at WDW. But not TOTWL... it's a special place to be shared by all.
