I don't mean to sound overly cynical, but I've always assumed that Disney would rather not have guests tied to their resort rooms watching movies, but rather out and about...and likely spending more money. Ergo, not only no Disney movie channel, but far less TV programming (cable, etc.) than...

Thanks, all - I appreciate the responses, and while I may call again and try my luck if I find the time before we go, I do understand completely why Disney has their rules. I'm glad I came here for the perspective!

^^ This is what I'd be inclined to do, and while I'm certain that some policies are unbendable, in my experience, it never hurts to ask in a respectful and understanding way (exactly what I did with the reservations CM I spoke with). And I'm certain they deal with attitudes of entitlement all...

And the lesson I've learned is to spend more time on these boards.;)

No, not complaining at all. I missed the deadline, so I'm merely curious, not feeling cheated. The "legal" explanation offered by the CM seemed odd, but hey... I do remember getting a free DDP after-the-fact a few years ago, in a similar situation. I must assume that my ex had called while...

Thanks for your responses. I'm mostly interested if others have had any success with similar experiences. To clarify... I don't EXPECT Disney to do anything. I've had consistently positive experiences with Disney customer service over the past decade or so, and so I'm interested in...

I imagine this question has been posted here before, and so my apologies if this is redundant…I haven’t had much luck with the search feature. It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to WDW, and this will be the first year back for me, DD9 and DD5 post-divorce. We’re pretty excited. My...

We've saved a lot by flying in and out of Tampa, but we typically rent a car in Orlando anyway. Airline fares will go up and down a dozen times between now and January 2013, however.

It's a global phenommenon - and I will honestly admit that some of the most egregious "rude" behavior I have witessed at WDW is simply a clash of cultural norms of behavior. That IS NOT to say that Americans aren't just as guilty of rude and selfish behavior - not even. Rudeness knows no...

Agreed. Last week was the first time I've seen Yeti in "disco mode" - he's been dark on all my previous EE rides - and I was surprised, too. It took a second ride later in the morning to confirm that he wasn't moving...if you're not used to seeing him at all, as I was, the strobe effect can be...

This is an interesting thread, to be sure. Epic, but interesting. It's very easy to draw what seem to be reasonable conclusions based on one's individual expereince, or that of friends and relatives, etc., at the consumer level. These conclusions may be wrong in their assesment of Disney's...

Great question! I wouldn't sleep. I'd call a bunch of people and open up the pub in the UK showcase. I suppose if things got too crazy, I might climb to the top of the Mayan temple for a quick nap. But then straight back to the pub.

Well, I wouldn't want to deny anyone that first-time, 'How-bad-is-this-going-to-be' anxiety while standing in line -- it's part of the experience! Even more so with ToT, which is all about the build up to the drop sequence... That being said, it's been my oldest daughter's favorite ride at...

We've been stuck on a few rides for short amounts of time, and for some reason, on GMR at DHS more than a few times. The last time this happened, we were in the Wizard of Oz scene for a good 25 - 30 minutes. They killed the sountrack quickly enough, thankfully, but even so, all those...

We've kind of setted on Movies as far as Value Resorts go - mostly because the kids like the theme, and are into the Disney characters, versus the generic sports or music theme. We've stayed at all three in the past, and other than the theming, they're nearly identical. We've enjoyed CR and...

The All Star Resorts can be a good place for good cardio in the off-season. As long as you're mindful of vehicular traffic, there's a decent circuit to make around all three resorts - try a few routes until you find one you're comfortable with. Unfortunately, running on the pedestrian walkways...

Thank you all for the great suggestions. We've had some passable-to-decent coffee after some TS meals over the years, so we knew the concept itself isn't entirely unknown in the world...but we've we've struck out finding decent coffee on its own so far, and that always surprised me. You'd...

First, a disclaimer that we love WDW dearly, and for multiple visits each year for the last seven years are more than willing to offer up some of the everyday expectations and "comforts" of home in exchange for all the wonderful Magic. That being said... Where in the World does one find...
