It's amazing that in this day and age, Disney keeps going with the 'vault' thing. Why keep new copies of these films out of the hands of families that want to share them with their children? Besides which, for someone motivated enough, they are easily obtainable on Amazon, at yard sales, or by...

I know this is an old thread that was recently necro'ed, but... My (this is going to be unpopular) opinion on this is "good for Disney". They need to protect their intellectual property rights. It doesn't matter that someone is trying to make a living off of making crafts using someone...

How far do you want to drive? We stay every year in Davenport, which is about a 15-20 minute drive door-to-door. There is a ton of vacation properties that are available for reasonable prices, including 3, 4, and more bedrooms.

Both. I had to look him up on Wikipedia, so I figured out who was being talked about.

Who?

Anyone else not receiving emails from dining reservations? I just made a reservation yesterday for O'hana breakfast. The confirmation screen says I will receive an email. Almost 24 hours later and no email. I've always received one in the past. And, no it is not getting caught as spam :)...

If you don't mind a short (20 minute) drive, take a look at the Davenport area. TONS of houses for rent, most in the 3-4 bedroom range, nearly all with private pools. Have stayed in this town the past two years in a row and plan to do so again this year.

There are a number of articles about this very topic. A very good one is at Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/12/18/avatar-became-the-highest-grossing-film-of-all-time-while-leaving-no-pop-culture-footprint/#19e3fcaa284b I find it fascinating that a movie as huge as...

I don't have experience with Wyndham's sales people because I've always skipped getting the parking pass and then disconnected my room phone, but I can't imagine they could be worse than the Westgate folks :rotfl:

Tower 5. Has a lazy river right outside, and it's close to the parking garage between towers 4 and 5.

And, that is why you should have a car. I know it sounds snobbish but I dealt with public transportation growing up in NYC and I vowed never again. Granted, we drive to Disney every year so we can't not have a car, but even when we used to fly we'd rent a car. I couldn't imagine coming out of...

We go in late April every year. Best time to be in Orlando, in my opinion. High 70's, low 80's, typically very little precipitation. It starts to get really hot mid-May.

I've never seen this before. What did the Jawas trade??

I did. I thought the guy did a great job. Very friendly, personable, and engaging. I'm usually a cheapskate. I must have been feeling generous that day, because I gave him $10.

My only real experience is in the late April/early May timeframe. We specifically avoid MK on Sundays (and Saturdays). It tends to be more crowded than Monday or Tuesday, for example. Crowd calendars at Undercover Tourist for that time period tend to reflect that as well. I've had CM's give...

First, if this is true, I'll be thrilled. Smoking is a filthy habit and poisons not only your own body, but everyone around you. It has no place in a park like Disney. If you really need a smoke that bad, leave the park and go back to your car to smoke. No car? Go stand out in the parking...

Definitely further than 7 miles away, but there are tons of rental houses in the Davenport area. We've been staying there the past two years. It's about a 20 minute drive to Disney, but you can't beat the price and the convenience of the houses. Most are 3-4 bedrooms, but there are also...

Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland are two of the best places, and both are minutes from WBC. They are on the pricey side, being Disney owned, but they also usually tell you your receipt is good for 25% off if you return the next night. For more generic mini-golf experiences, the Pirates...

I didn't post the original spoiler, but in that person's defense, the movie has been out for 8 months total, and at least 3 or more on DVD/Blu-Ray. It's all part of the public consciousness. I'd expect that people have seen it, know the spoilers, or just don't care at this point in time.

Meh. Kylo Ren was one of the most underwhelming character meet and greets we've ever done. The line moved rapidly. Once we got inside, it was pretty clear why. All the CMs were very abrupt and demanding, almost yelling at people to move. Kylo said some lines (which I never realized until...
