    Disney eliminating plastic straws

    https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2015/04/22/walt-disney-world-bus-fleet-to-run-on-renewable-diesel/ Disney has invested in renewable Diesel as well as producing their own R50 from food waste created in the parks and resorts. They have their own ecosystem. My work in the energy industry is...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    Wow! To whoever posted this deal originally, thank you! I just got the Dolphin (guaranteed king bed) for $78 per night over Labor Day weekend! My son lives in Orlando and works at the Boathouse - his birthday is 9/2, so this is perfect. We are DVC members and just moved to Florida, but we...

    Quick Service Alcohol Selections

    We are headed to WDW for a couple of nights - arrive Thursday and leave Saturday. We bought the QSDP since we are staying at the Poly (Oasis pool bar before hitting the MK for Disney After Hours later) and then Flower and Garden Festival Friday. We plan on going to the QS in Mexico and having...

    Pop Century - King Beds and Connecting Rooms

    I wouldn't say "guaranteed". We had 2 nights at POFQ and I reserved a king room. Not only did we not get a king room, they gave us a HA room. It was pretty much "well this is all we have".

    Those of you on the Gulf Coast-- are you ready for Harvey?

    We are in the Spring/Woodlands area and have had about 25" of rain so far. We've been lucky with our house staying dry so far. We were supposed to leave for Disney this Wednesday. I got the upgrade notification from United this morning, and then the flight cancellation notice. :( Rebooked for...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    Thanks! For some reason BWI popped up at $269 per night so I changed our reservation. We were looking forward to trying YC, but at that difference, that's a few drinks and snacks at F&W! Still stalking the Swan though. Sometimes they get dirt cheap the closer it is to check in date!

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    It's a lagoon view. We are hoping to have a view of the Boardwalk across the lake. Will the wedding gazebo view provide that?

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    Thank you so much for your review!!!! I was asking more about Dolphin vs Swan, but I find this info even more helpful since we haven't stayed at the YC either! I love having a balcony, which is never a guarantee with Swan and Dolphin. Unless Swan drops significantly, we will likely stay with...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    We've stayed at the Dolphin several times using my SPG points, but had a subpar experience in June. Our room type wasn't available, so they upgraded us to a small suite- great! But... I was working from the room during the day and the construction noise was AWFUL and lasted all day! No balcony...

    (More) Alcohol Coming to MK

    Walt was not a saint by any stretch of the imagination. He was a smoker who died from lung cancer. He had anti-Semitic leanings. There was blatant racism in Song of the South. He reportedly used the n-word. He also drank. Yes, he was a visionary who created the Disney World concept. He was a...

    Disney Calories

    This is true. While I eat fairly strictly (entering a fitness competition) even my trainer has me carb cycling and eating a cheat meal once a week. When traveling for business I don't indulge as much, but Disney is vacation, so I do have treats when I really want them. My problem with the dining...

    Disney Calories

    I'm not sure on food preparation, but you can usually sub a vegetable for fries, or just order without fries at QS places (they take like $1 off). If I am trying to watch how I eat there, I take buns off of burgers and chicken sandwiches, go without the carbs for the most part, eat salads, etc...
