One more thing occurred to me. If you are into Harry Potter, the Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour is essential. https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk Definitely pre-book your ticket well in advance online as they only sell timed tickets to control the numbers going through the tour and to avoid it...

As someone born and brought up in London who has visited the US almost 20 times I'd offer the following advice: 1) London Transport buses don't take cash payments - as others have mentioned, get Oyster cards as soon as you land and load them up with credit. 2) If you go into a pub for a drink...

In the circle of life It's the wheel of fortune It's the leap of faith It's the band of hope Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle, the circle of life :)

What's the difference between cabbage and boogers? Children won't eat cabbage. If you genuinely blacked out at the sight of a child picking its nose and eating what it finds in there, then you're Ned Flanders and I claim my $5 :) Oh and just make sure you're not driving an ECV at WDW when...

When we were there in August (only a month back but feels way too long ago already!!!!) we picked up one of each of the four parks mugs. At Starbucks in Disney Springs they had two different mugs, one for Orlando and one for Florida. There was no sign of a mug for Disney Springs, or in fact a...

Men coming out of bathroom stalls (in the parks, in the resorts, in the malls, in the airports) and not washing their hands. Totally gross. Skin colour, nationality or culture/religion made no difference. If you're reading this and you've done this before, shame on you!!!!! A non-svelte...

Not sure if it's 24 hr but you need to use your magic band to get in so it might well be accessible 24/7. I can't comment on the villas laundry as I never used it and am not even sure where it is.

If you're booked in a standard view room, I'd recommend Tuvalu. It's the other side of the marina to the boat dock, there's a gate on the marina to enter the main pool area and it took me just about 5 minutes to walk from there to the Monorail platform in the GCH. We also walked to the TTC to...

The Poly laundry is attached to Lilo's Playhouse, very near to the Poly bus stand (out of GCH and turn left as if you're walking towards the TTC). I used it last week. There is a change machine but there's also the option to pay for washers and dryers using credit or debit cards. There is a...

Possibly our best one, out of some excellent ones, was with Elsa at MK. My daughter turned 5 on this trip and is a huge Frozen fan (aren't they all??) and our son is almost 18 months old. We went into the room and saw Anna first and she was great, speaking to our daughter and interacting...

And that's your perogative and right to choose how you live with your condition. My point is a wider one about, for example, certain people within a group needing the elevator and the whole group using it. If there was a crowd waiting for the elevator either myself or my wife would always walk...

Very happy. It really wasn't far from the GCH and pool. There's a gate on the marina side of the pool to get access with your magic band and you walk in right by the children's pool play area. Noise wasn't a problem. You'd want to be on the third floor, I'd think, for a good view of the theme...

We stayed at the Poly this time (having stayed at Yacht Club last time two years ago) and to me the Poly has way more heart and soul than any of the other deluxe resorts. We were in Tuvalu so construction noise wasn't an issue for us. Poly pool never seemed too crowded in the morning but there...

We just stayed there and were given a room (3415) in Tuvalu, next to the marina. Ours was a standard view room so was facing the marina and the GCH/TraderSam's/Main Pool. If you're on that side of the resort it would make a lot more sense to use the resort launch to go to MK as you can walk...

Hi all! We stayed at Coronado Springs Resort from 16/08/15 for 4 nights. It was the first time we'd stayed there (or at any moderate resort at Disney). We had a ground floor room facing the car park (set back though) in Cabanas 9A. It was a 2 minute walk to the quiet pool from our door. Highs...

Oh and the other big "low" of our trip was on our final day when we were walking through Fantasyland at MK past Peter Pan towards the Carousel. A father was telling off his son of 5 or 6 years old (my best guess) quite vocally and then suddenly started spanking him on his backside about half a...

We stayed at the Polynesian from 8/20 to 8/29 in Tuvalu. We were on the top floor in the last room (3415) with a pretty nice view back towards the marina and GCH/main pool/Trader Sam's terrace. Prior to our stay at the Poly (first time there) we were at Coronado Springs Resort for 4 nights. Our...

<sarcasm filter on> I know. Heaven forbid my five year old girl ever got into Star Wars or sci-fi. I'll make sure she's riding Voyage of the Little Mermaid and similar things when she's 15, 25, 35 or whatever. She's a girl and should be kept away from exciting space adventures. Oh, but we're...

For a bit of fun: North Korea Iran Cuba Myanmar (Burma) Saudi Arabia More seriously: India New Zealand (hopefully with a permanent Flight Of The Conchords exhibit) South Africa Peru Egypt

Totally agree with #2. To me it's the result of Disney pushing endless free dining, meaning it's easier to cater to a mass audience by standardising food offerings across multiple locations.
