    Wilderness to DD

    1.5-2 hours seems like a major exaggeration to me. It has never taken me that long to wait for and ride a bus to anywhere on WDW property. Even if you had to wait awhile for a bus and it made several stops before it got to DD it should take no more than about 45-50 minutes at the most.

    Wilderness to DD

    What kind of horror stories have you been hearing? I have never stayed at WL but I have been there to eat at Artist Point several times and take the bus to DD afterwards. The buses to/from WL usually share with 1-2 other resorts in the MK area. DD buses during the day also generally service...

    ADR Wait Times

    I have had pretty good luck showing up 10-15 minutes early for my ADRs and either being seated right away or only waiting 5-10 minutes. There are only two exceptions I can think of. The first being The Hollywood Brown Derby and the other being Ohana. The brown derby took about 20-25 minutes...

    Rix Lounge at CSR

    Hello All, We will be at CSR in two weeks and was wondering about Rix Lounge. Has anyone been there recently to give a review? Hows the service? Atmosphere? Do they have a decent draft beer selection? Also wondering about the other two outside bars at CSR.

    Magic Band Overload!

    Magic Bands do not contain batteries. They have an embedded passive RFID tag inside them. A passive tag is an RFID tag that does not contain a battery; the power is supplied by the reader. When radio waves from the reader are encountered by a passive rfid tag, the coiled antenna within the tag...

    Crane at Cinderella's Castle

    The crane is generally seup during the last two weeks of September to install the Christmas lights on the castle. As the exact date approaches, the official Disney parks blog will make an announcement. Many people ask why the Christmas lights are installed "insanely" early. This is because...

    Offsite BOG guests are 2nd class citizens

    Quite frankly, you are a second class citizen as far as Disney is concerned. I for one do not blame then at all for treating you that way. On site guests pay more money for a room than a comparable off site hotel room. Guests do so in order to take advantage of certain benefits that Disney gives...

    Billboards

    I drive down I95/I4 to WDW every year. You will see maybe one or two occasional billboards for WDW as soon as you get into Florida. Once you get past Sanford and start to get into Orlando you will start to notice more billboards for not only WDW but Universal, Sea World, etc. Once you get past...

    Be Our Guest

    Any guest staying in a Disney Resort can book a BOG Fastpass at 27 days from the day you want to eat there. This is not like traditional Fastpass where you can book for your whole trip at the 60 day mark, you have to be exactly 27 days or less our from the actual day that you want to eat there...

    Magic Bands! Hyperventilate! Breathe...

    We check in to Disney on September 15. Our bands shipped on August 16 and were scheduled to arrive on August 25. I checked just now and its out for delivery to my house! :cool1: Wasn't really worried about it all though since we still have a little over three weeks to go. I would be worried if...

    Will they put in character dining in new Disney Springs (DTD)?

    I agree, the majority of DS dining and entertainment options should be geared toward the older crowd. No offense, but leave the character dining to the parks and resorts.

    Magic Band Overload!

    The program is essentially still in its infantcy, having only been full operational for less than a year. I believe as we see the MyMagic+ program grow and mature that we will see more permanent and durable magic bands issued to annual passholders. That way anyone with an annual pass connected...

    Magic Band Overload!

    My understanding is that the magic bands were never designed or intended to last forever. They are more or less disposable. Most guests travel to WDW once every few years, therefor asking them to hold on and keep up with their bands for that long would be crazy.

    F&W Beer Limits

    I agree 100%. I believe some people have seen maybe one or two over intoxicated individuals and assumed every one was that drunk. A lot of folks also seem to think that anyone with a beer in their hand is drunk.

    F&W Beer Limits

    I have been to F&W each year for the past several years and have never seen rampant drunkenness. I have seen a few individuals, but nothing excessive. What I have seen is parents who don't drink at all complain (very loudly) that people are having a drink period around kids. I think the parents...
