    End of February or beginning of March, which time is less crowded?

    Once you get past President's Day, generally the closer you get to Easter, the more crowded it gets. Bill From PA

    ESPN the Weekend

    I've never been there on the last day, but for the last 3 years we've attended the first or second days, don't know if it's still hoppin' at the end. The park attractions themselves tend to be less crowded as non-sports fans avoid DHS out of fear of crowds. Early in the day at least the rides...

    Is it the recession or poor mgmnt?

    Agreed, but preserving short term profits now risks losing greater profits on into infinity, if they lose their best customers. Bill From PA

    Is it the recession or poor mgmnt?

    IMHO the Disney suits are focusing on quarterly results and are unwilling to suffer a drop in profits let alone the taking of a loss. As a result they've slashed entertainment offerings, park hours and other things, damaging their reputation, again, in my opinion. The Disney Empire has...

    Which park when crowded

    Epcot swallows crowds whole, plus there are more adult beverage choices. Speaking or which, the BoardWalk is a short stroll from the UK with even more to offer. Bill From PA

    La Fin du Monde in French means 'end of the world'. It's ended my day on more than one occasion. Bill From PA

    Seems there's park hopper lovers and haters...so duke it out

    We hop because all parks will eventually get crowded to the point that standby lines for major attractions will exceed 20 to 25 minutes, our level of tolerance, and FP can only help so much. We hit a park at rope drop every morning, tour until the lines get unbearable, then hop to WS which eats...

    Help with touring World Showcase

    Since it's a circle, the only consideration would seem to be which movies and live shows you wish to see. Here's a site to see what's available and, I believe, times. http://pages.prodigy.net/stevesoares/ Perhaps you can line up the movies/shows in chronological order and tour in the...

    Blizzard Beach in March?

    Been in the World 7 times in the last 10 years the first week in March and we've had pool days every time. A few days in the 80s is as likely as ones in the 60s. Bill From PA

    Does Brer Rabbit Still Get 'Skinned'?

    Thanks for the replies, I was thinking that the Disney folks might have thought that 'skin ya' was too graphic or violent and tamed it down. Glad that's not the case. Hi, Nikki, I see we're not going to bump into each other in Le Cellier this time around, enjoy your trip, and congrats...

    Does Brer Rabbit Still Get 'Skinned'?

    I was watching some old vids I took of Spl. Mtn. in which the voice at the top, just before the big drop threatened to skin the rabbit. I seem to remember from last trip that something was substituted for 'skin ya'. I suppose I'll find out soon enough, but I'm curious. Anyone? Bill From PA

    Tequila Bar At Epcot's Mexico--open Yet?

    Much as I'd like to see this happen, I've been hearing about this for more than a year. I'll get excited when I see it myself. Bill From PA

    Boardwalk "street" entertainment?

    Two things I'd add, the performers are only there Thurs. through Sun. in the evenings, and if you want to rent one of those 4 wheeled surrey bikes, do it during the day, some evenings it's so crowded you can't get through the area from Big River to ESPN Club. You can also just ride the...

    Unhappiness Over Fantasmic!

    We need to rebember that 'Disney' isn't just WDW, it's an entertainment empire including roadshows, my kids and grandkids saw their 'Ice Show' just last night, movies, DVDs, copyrighted Mickey endorsements and more. Most of those things are doing quite well, and it would behoove the powers to be...

    How much autonomy for teenage girls?

    Once our kids became familiar with the Disney transportation system, we cut them loose at 12, we have 2 daughters 20 months apart in age and a son a few years younger. They were responsible young teens, so that was a factor. We'd tour a park together early and they'd go their own way when we...

    Unhappiness Over Fantasmic!

    I've said this before on similar threads, Disney is in danger of ruining its brand. Disney vets see what's happening, realize they're paying the same for less and may well re-think how to spend their vacation dollars in the future. Disney newbies will show up for shows like Fantasmic minutes...
