    Polynesian! Construction nightmare

    When the main pool re-opens, will it be restricted access to only Poly guests (DVC pool hopping not allowed)? I'm not familiar with how much this would have added to pool crowding, so in everyone's opinion, will this make the pool noticeably less crowded, or not really make much of a...

    FD split-stay question

    I'm sure this has been asked, but I can't seem to find the quick answer... If you do the FD deal and check in on the 28th, but have a room-only reservation for a couple of days before that, can you get your tickets that go along with the FD package when you check in for your room-only...

    What Attraction needs to be updated or overhauled the most?

    Star Tours!!! I've seen better simulator rides at the local mall food court. They don't just need a new film, but a completely new ride that does justice to having the rights to such a huge franchise. Same with the Indy show. Would love to have the DL ride in WDW, or something new...

    Everyone loves ________ but I just don't get it!

    everybody loves _the original Journey Into Imagination_ but I just don't get it. People always talk about that ride like it was the greatest thing, but all I remember from it was the annoying song. I also find Figment quit annoying as well (both current and in the past - maybe it's the...

    Bugs in Sept

    There have been lots of threads about the love bugs this year. We were there towards the end of them, but they were pretty annoying. It was the worst I remember seeing them from several Septeber trips and one time that we saw some in May. We were there around the same time last year, and they...

    It's The Port Orleans FAQ Thread!!!

    To my knowledge there are no preferred buildings at POR, only preferred (water) views - unless you are just talking about what people's favorite buildings are? IMO water views are no big deal unless you spend a lot of time sitting in your room looking out the window over the exterier walkway...

    Tom Sawyer's Island

    Maybe they'll do this so they can find a suitable place to try to sell their pirates souveniers? I sure had a hard time finding that stuff last week :rolleyes: I did like the rumor on here a bit ago about turning the old discovery island into a pirate island complete with a themed dinner.

    shows or attractions that should close

    Sounds Dangerous and Stitch seem to always consistently come up in these types of threads. Star Tours could definately use at least a new film, although I'd love to see an entirely new Star Wars themed ride

    How is Construction Going at POR ??? Heard Lots of Horror Stories !! EASE MY MIND!

    They were rehabbing the pool next to Parterre Place last week, and were doing some roof work and painting on some of the mansion buildings. The pool was done by last weekend I believe (I don't know if they are working on any of the other quiet pools), and the other things were not disruptive at...

    Back from POFQ Not what I expected!

    For MK, we shared a bus in the morning, but had separate buses back to the resort. All the other parks were shared both directions from what I remember last week. Even leaving after Illuminations they were using shared buses. That being said, the line moves quickly because quite often one bus...

    Beware Love Bugs were everywhere!

    While waiting at a bus stop last week, they were flying around and people were wondering what the heck they were. I thought to myself, how could you possibly not know what these things are, there have been tons of threads about them on the Dis...then I remembered not everyone I encounter reads...

    mission space green team?

    I found the effects better than expected. The orange side was a bit too real for me, but I figured the green side would be pretty much just like watching a video. My son wanted to go on it, so we tried it out, and I was impressed. I didn't have to worry about keeping my eyes straight ahead...

    Fantasmic or DTD with a 2 and 4 y.o.?

    Fantasmic is great, but it might not be so enjoyable if your little ones are scared of loud noises. I took my son for the first time around 2, and he was definately scared. Nothing else had bothered him leading up to that, including the other fireworks shows, but being there did. Just...

    Anyone just back happen to catch the new Top 7 show?

    (Actually, it only has a new beginning :rolleyes1 ) On Saturday night we got back to our room late, and I flipped on the endless Top Seven loop. I had already heard it several times, and then I heard Stacey talk about the year of a million dreams celebration going on. Apparently right at...

    Planning Dvd Disappointment

    Over the past few days, they were doing some filming that I was assuming was for the new planning DVD - at least that's what I heard a CM telling someone while we were watching the new parade in MK on Sat.

    Dole Whip was so-so...Dole Whip float was excellent! That pineapple juice made all the difference for me

    Character Dining at The Garden Grill....

    I agree that it's the best character interaction. I saw a sign going in last week that the seating capacity is only around 170 - if it's completely full. That's a lot smaller than most of the other ones I'm guessing. My son was actually getting bored the characters were coming around so much...

    Which Restaurant was most Overrated by the DIS for you

    LTT for me - for both food quality and character interaction. I thought both were much better at Garden Grill. At least at Chef Mickey's, I go with low food quality expectations, but I had heard the food at LTT was pretty good. Maybe we just hit an "off' night.

    Back from POFQ Not what I expected!

    I know what you mean about the POR/FQ buses. If you are relying on bus transportation and you don't like standing, then POR is not a good choice of resorts IMO. For the FQ folks, it means that they have to add at least 10 minutes to their bus trip by the time it makes it's way around all the...
