I’m not a Disneyland expert, but I know Bugsland is being eliminated. I think it’s making room for the Marvel land that was announced but I reserve the right to be wrong about that :)

Thank you for the kind words. It’s a fun exercise to think about “what could be”, but don’t let it ruin your experience. TSL is a beautifully DECORATED land which will keep you really busy finding Easter eggs, reliving some of the experiences of your youth, and offers a couple of really fun...

Thank you for the kind words. I totally hear you on adding Al's Toy Barn to the land requiring a second mortgage for souvenirs. My kids are older, but I'd probably find a lot of nostalgic stuff I would want to buy :)

It's a beautiful land which was definitely made for today's Instagram world (there are at least two awesome walls for background). You'll love it, and I'd highly recommend eating from Andy's lunchbox. I didn't get to eat a full meal, but the "pop-tart" pastries were as good as they look....

Reality is when blue sky thinking meets real world budgets :) That said sometimes necessity is the mother of all invention...I'm a huge fan of the first Deadpool film (seeing the second tomorrow when it comes out on digital release), and the lack of a super-hero budget actually helped make that...

Agree 100% on re-using those elements to further the backyard effect. I just wonder if the cost to remove & ship is lower than demolishing them in CA and fabricating new in FL. It’s too bad they didn’t keep some of the props from the HISTK playset...could have also used some of those elements...

Thanks for the kind words! I tried to create an account to submit blogs, but I never heard back from anyone at the Dis...

If you at all like Toy Story you'll love the new land even in spite of it's shortcomings. It's more of a missed opportunity than a failed expansion. You're absolutely correct on the transition from DHS to TSL...it's a sidewalk with a giant Woody statue and sign at the end. Very cute, but it...

Thank you! To me one of the most amazing things of the Harry Potter lands at UO is the fact that shopping and dining are a part of the experience, not things bolted onto the story. Disney has some IP which can do the same, Toy Story being one of them, so I share everyone's frustration with the...

Honestly the physical slinky effect isn't something I missed. The sound effect plays when you leave the station and hearing Slinky talk to everyone when the second "launch" happens really kept me in the story. I was so uninterested in Slinky from the description and the artwork, but ultimately...

Disney Hollywood Studios has been, and still is, my favorite park. I loved Dick Tracy and Who Framed Roger Rabbit movies as a kid, so the 40s-50s Hollywood architecture and theme hooked me right away. Admittedly it has grown harder and harder to justify a devoting a full day to the park as more...

Purchased into SSR with a June use year (50 pts). I'm planning on using my DVC for the first time in July 2012. I called in and made a reservation using only 2011 & some of 2012 points. If I wanted to upgrade farther, could I leverage 2013 points now (for travel in the 2012 use year) or do...

Another question... I get the use year importance...but just as a general question if I DO buy a second hand batch of points with a different use year, how much of a pain in the **** will I be acquiring? There are some really great deals out there, but not all of them apply to my use year...

We just bought into the DVC last month at Saratoga Springs... Went to book our first trip using points (July 2012) and wanted to stay at BCV but started trying to make a list of priority in case it wasn't available. 5 minutes later my wife had a booking at BCV for a studio. I couldn't...

Thanks! We can't access the member website until we close (just mailed in the deposit). It's funny...we were able to call make make reservations for our summer trip but we can't access the member website...kind of seems backwards :)

Hi All, Bought into a small block of points at SSR during my last trip to Disney and now I'm looking into purchasing more on the second hand market. I have 50 points at SSR. Say I purchase 50 more at AKL. My understanding would be that during the 11 month window I could book at either...

Heading down to disney Sept 24!! Can't wait. Haven't been in 3 years. Thinking we might do MNSSHP! Any tips you can give me? How is Sept? Never gone during hurricane season before. Also, going with just my wife this time. Like a second honeymoon! Thinking of eating at Coral Reef. Would...
