    What's your favorite TS in the entire WDW Resort?

    Unfortunately, Ohana is one of the most popular restaurants across the board, and usually books up by a couple of days past the 180 ADR booking window. But, keep checking periodically before your trip and maybe something will open up - it's worth it :-)

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel

    I agree with this. I think they will share "as needed." Same thing with the All-Star resorts. I see people posting on here all the time that they don't want to stay at the All-Stars because they "share" buses. But, really, it's just during certain times and seasons. We have, literally...

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel

    The Disney "Moms" Panel does not, by any means, always have correct info. There was a long running thead on the Themeparks boards a while back that had all the incorrect info people had been given by the "Moms" panel. I'm not saying the info is right or not, but Disney hasn't released anything...

    Is free dining really free

    "Free Dining" is just another form a discount, it's going to have varying savings from family to family and resort to resort, just like a room discount. Free Dining means you are getting the Disney Dining Plan for free. They don't advertise or even imply that any food item at Disney will be...

    DVC and free dining

    You can't take advantage of free dining or any WDW discounts if you are renting points at a DVC resort. You can apply a free dining discount if you are booked at a DVC resort/villa through Disney reservations and are paying full rack rate prices. Free Dining is actually the reason we have...

    Free dining thru expedia

    I write a travel blog and contribute to two other large Disney blogs, specifically about free dining, and the only two non-Disney entities that I have ever known of, or heard of, that can book a Disney vacation WITH the dining plan/free dining are AAA and Southwest. Of course, I don't follow...

    March 7th Fast Pass Experiences

    I have to ask, what exactly do you perceive as wrong with the Fastpass system? I know people argue the whole accept/don't accept late fastpasse issue, but in general, I don't think I have EVER read on any Disney forum or blog or heard anyone, besides you, say that they need to totally trash...

    Overall, how is the quality of the food?

    We enjoyed many meals at Disney many times before there was a dining plan, and many, many more times since the Dining Plans were introduced - we've done free dining 8 years in a row- and I haven't noticed any significant decline in food quality in correlation to the dining plans. The only...

    Some FREE DINING Info & Guidelines

    So glad you were able to book with the discount! The Dining Plan/free dining is based on the number of nights you are at your resort, it has nothing to do with the number of days on your tickets. We are going to Disneyland in June for the new Cars Land opening. Was hoping for some discount...

    Overall, how is the quality of the food?

    I don't think I would describe us as foodies, and I think food quality and taste is very subjective, but overall we really enjoy dining at Walt Disney World. Some places are better than others, so I will give you our "better than average to really fantastic" picks: Ohana dinner at the...

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel

    No, I wouldn't think so, it's not in any of the mock ups Disney has put out and would take away from the the whole asthetic design of the imagineers.

    Disney California Adventure will be CLOSED on JUNE 14th.

    This was exactly along my lines of thinking after finding out wath the AP blackout dates will be. I don't, by any means, think there will be low crowds, but I do think the blackout dates in June would have to be better than the other options. Of course, that whole "wildcard" comment has...

    Some FREE DINING Info & Guidelines

    Smitch is correct, Canadians can book this offer on the U.S. site, or just call Disney direct and they can book it for you. If your check in dates is at least September 29, you can apply the discount to your reservation up to 15 nights, which puts you well into October dates.

    Cars Land and Buena Vista St. in DCA open on June 15th - new info added 5-10-12

    My guess is that since they are closing the entire park on June 14 to prepare for the big opening day on the 15th, they aren't going to be having any soft opening for resort guests. I've heard of them having a preview day for AP holders, but nothing for resort guests when a new attraction or a...

    Cars Land and Buena Vista St. in DCA open on June 15th - new info added 5-10-12

    Looks like that date is official as of today. So glad I moved our trip by a week, so we will be there after the "official" opening.

    Disney California Adventure will be CLOSED on JUNE 14th.

    I guess I'm glad I moved our dates. We had originally planned to be in DL/CA June 14, 15 and 16. I'm now planning on June 21, 22 and 23. Hopefully, with those dates having blackouts for AP holders, that will keep the insanity and crazy crowds down just a bit. Guess we will see . . . .
