    Tron AP preview thread

    I got my reservation about 3 hours ago, now. Still no email. I do have a screenshot of the confirmation page so I am sure all is well.

    Tron AP preview thread

    I was in the queue before 9AM EST and was able to snag a reservation. Took a screenshot of the confirmation page, but still no confirmation email. Oh Disney.

    The Death of Free Dining?

    If I had a dollar for every time someone predicted or suspected the end of free dining I'd have enough money to... afford the Disney dining plan. The free dining discount is a great win for Disney. I am not sure why they'd ever do away with it. Even at the best of times there are going to be...

    2013 Free Dining Watch

    We waited until today to book our vacation and had really no problem doing so online at about 6:45. We did wait about 30-40 mins to make an ADR though (HDDR). We didn't notice the typo (thank goodness) and the booking worked fine for our dates (7-14). Good luck all!

    Anyone else think there will be no "free dining" for september?

    I'll be surprised if they don't offer it. Remember, they were offering free dining even before the economic downturn. It has never been a high crowd time period. That said, I am sure, based on the PINS that have been sent, it will be quick service for moderates and values. This will be my...

    Oscar Nominations...No Disney or Pixar for Animated Feature

    Tabgled was a 2010 feature (and also wasn't somehow nominated then). I am not surprised about Cars 2, though the current field wasn't all that strong this year. Where is Tin Tin? That is the surprise to me.

    Please help me pick a Mod or Asmo

    PoR has a great pool, beautiful grounds, and just a very laid back and calm atmosphere. Except when Yeha Bob is playing. I think PoR is the best of the moderates, but while I haven't stayed at FQ, I have spent a lot of time there due to the proximity to Riverside. I think FQ would be great, too...

    Best 1 credit TS dining at Epcot?

    It would be hard to choose. Most restaurants there are outstanding and it just depends on what you are in the mood for. I'd probably go with Le Cellier, although ask me 5 minutes before my reservation and I'd probably say I wished I had chosen San Angel Inn, or Biergarten, or Le Chefs, or...

    Hacienda or San Angel Inn

    Both are good, but my experiences with San Angel Inn were much better than Hacienda. First off, both restaurants have slow service. I guess this is potentially a cultural thing (or so I'm told). I give the edge in food quality to San Angel Inn. It tasted like they prepared it back in the...

    No more rope drop at epcot!!

    I foresee a lot of people running hard from the turnstiles. They can slow people down via a rope and walking with them, but they can't do that for everyone.

    If you could only pick one place to eat...

    We aren't foodies by any stretch. My favorite restaurants are all based on the theme and ambience and less the food. With that said if I had 1 place to eat it would be Crystal Palace for breakfast. Why? 1. Love the theme 2. Kids love the characters 3. We are starting our day at the Magic...

    Which Attraction First?

    MK - We always get a reservation for CP prior to park opening so we can be at the rope drop under the castle. Then we hit Dumbo first. It is a tradition for us and a major one. We don't deviate from Dumbo being #1. Part of the reason is also the slow loading and lack of Fast Pass. Not a ride you...

    Port Orleans

    I prefer POR because of the beignets at POFQ. This way I can pretend I am exercising by walking over to eat 6 of them.

    Does Le Cellier really live up to the hype?

    I don't think there is much hype about Le Cellier any more. Now it is pretty much backlash. People using the same sort of rhetoric and over-the-top proclamations about how terrible it is. It is still what it has always been - an excellent Disney restaurant. Go in with the proper...

    What do you with the PECOS BILL bar thread

    My kids rarely eat full meals so we usually sneak into Pecos Bill and load up salads from the fixin's bar. Usually this involves a pile of grilled onions and peppers for my youngest. He loves grilled onions. We try to make at least 2 meals or several snacks per trip. We haven't been caught yet...

    Value or Moderate Resort?

    1) Would you rather stay at a value resort or moderate resort and why? 2) What are the differences between Coronado Springs and AS Music? 3)What are the perks of a moderate resort? 4) What are the perks of a value resort? #1 - I would rather stay at a Value because $800 or so difference...

    Crystal Palace?

    CP is a must-do for us on our MK days. Primarily we use it so we can stand under the castle for rope drop, but the fact it has a great breakfast buffet and characters really sets it near the top for us in terms of dining experiences.

    not happy at POP

    Our stay wasn't as bad as the OP, but we had similar issues and won't be going back. We had previously stayed at the ASMo and it was great. However, at POP, we also got exactly the opposite of what we asked for. We wanted a ground floor room close to the lobby and wound up with a 3rd floor...

    Are we supposed to tip mousekeeping?

    We tip almost any person on a vacation who is giving direct, personal service to us. Pushing a button on a ride is not personal service. A valet bringing me my car is. A sonic car hop who skates out with food is. Someone who cuts my hair is. Cleaning up my dirty room most definitely...
