    Paid FP options coming soon to WDW?

    Again - I don't think they are raising prices for "any reason" - it is to recoup investments from all the rides and lands and infrastructure they have been building. Do you think the Theme Park Fairies builds those things at night....? :-)))) As far as raising prices and less people going to...

    Paid FP options coming soon to WDW?

    I think the point is that "it sounds like" you feel you ARE owed something. The (to use your term) "monetization" - or raising admission prices charging more for previously free things to develop new revenue/streams goes hand in hand with the HUGE investment numbers by Disney and SUBSTANTIAL...

    Paid FP options coming soon to WDW?

    Crowds will fluctuate depending on time of year (summer vs fall) and new ride additions (Toy Story Land, Star Wars, etc. I just "like" having the OPTION to pay to maximize my time at the parks. As all things - if people don't see the value they will not pay for them and they are welcome to wait...

    Paid FP options coming soon to WDW?

    YOU: "What investment are those??" Not sure what you mean? They've added Fantasy Land, Pandora, Toy Story Land and soon Star Wars?!?!? Not sure what you would consider "investment" in your opinion? For me I think those are SIGNIFICANT investments that SIGNIFICANTLY expand your vacation time...

    Paid FP options coming soon to WDW?

    I think we can all agree we wish we could go back to the "old days" (if they ever really existed) - but the reality is that I think many are looking at Disney crowds from only the side of a visitor or customer - there is the Disney investment side which I would like to present/discuss. Look at...

    Next Round of Discounts?

    Does anyone know when the Fall Florida resident discounts are usually announced? I currently have a reservation for Oct 8th and wanted to see if I could apply for the resident discount - if still offered this year. THANKS!

    Stroller stolen- looks like Epcot

    Yes probably not the best idea to leave all those things in the stroller - but as mentioned by others – giving the mother the benefit of the doubt – there may have been extenuating circumstances like having three kids and two have to go to the bathroom right away – so you just RUN – and assume...

    240 Gators Caught at Disney World Over Last 10 Years (link)

    I know this has been debated back and forth here - but I had to chime in to say that I really don't understand why YOU don't understand that people who haven't been brought up or lived in Florida we just don't "know" that there are alligators in those lakes?!?!? We don't get news reports or see...

    Gator grabs 2 year old at Grand Floridian?

    I know it is early - but I ABSOLUTELY find unacceptable that I am finding out that there are alligators in all the waters around Disney World and they do not regularly trap, kill or find some why to keep them away from guest areas. This is ABSOLUTELY the responsibility of Disney to manage this...

    Puerto Rico in talks to host permanent pavilion in Epcot by 2017.

    Come on....really....?! Don't twist my words around....and don't exagerate to start an argument....I was just providing my opinion of which pavillion could provide a more robust, diverse and interesting Disney type of experience. Brazil vs Puerto Rico.... I was not saying that all Puerto...

    Puerto Rico in talks to host permanent pavilion in Epcot by 2017.

    I agree! If you are strictly focusing on the Carribean I wouldn't go for Puerto Rico - there are so many other Carribean nations with more diverse interesting cultures, foods and backgrounds. How about Cuba or Jamaica.... I would also be concerned about security in a Puerto Rico pavillon...

    35.7% of all Brazilians bound for the US visit WDW

    So let all the people that couldn't find Brazil on a map....let alone have ever travelled there and enjoyed the country....start their consternations of the large tour groups and how Disney needs to do something.... :-) And I agree....between the Amazon and Iguazu Falls, Carnival and the...

    Epcot, AK and DHS have been slow all summer?

    Not sure what you expected - $150 a night is not a lot for a "on property" hotel! You get all the transportation benefits back and forth, the benefits of being on property, extra magic hours, etc. AND you are going during the peak summer months! I am not sure how much cheaper they could make...

    Escape from Tomorrowland - UNAUTHORIZED DISNEY MOVIE!

    I was wondering what people thought of a movie which was shot at DisneyWorld without the consent/approval of Disney. They used hand held cameras to look like tourists while filming, had microphones on their body to get audio and kept scripts on their phones so when reading reviewing - they...

    Avatarland!!!!

    Just shows how much you should judge the people on this board's opinion of Avatarland. Quite a dumb statement to say you would rather die than go to Avatarland - how old are you? In the end I think there is a small group that hates the idea - but like all other negative people - they are the...

    Rude South Americans

    Well - sorry - but will have to disagree with you...we live on 57th and Broadway and we see large groups of teens doing the exact same thing as they all run into Central Park at the same time. Some from Brazil - some from Boise and yes - large groups of 20/30+. The Boy Scouts where just in town...

    Rude South Americans

    I agree - this same type of behavior has happened to me with groups of Teenagers - except that they come from Kentucky, Iowa or Texas....and lets tone things down a bit here  they are not trampling  they are doing what other groups do when they all come together. I get the same behavior in...

    The name of the movie was called: "ShadeMaker". It was described as “the story of two brothers that takes Selick’s special brand of surrealism into a new direction"

    Does anyone actually pay rack rate for deluxe resorts?

    Thanks Butterflygirl, How does that work? I have heard there are Vacation Club rooms at the Boardwalk (I think I have even seen them when I walk through the garden portion of the resort) but how does that work? Am I actually buying/using someone else's vacation club rental?
