    Plans for the Muppet Studios

    Wouldn't it be lovely if someone's tone of voice could be indicated in type. That would prevent me from thinking that your name should be edited slightly, from horse collar, to horse's a**. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS BOARD IS SPECULATION. That's one of the fun parts! And you don't...

    Plans for the Muppet Studios

    I was "home" in June and October last year (going back in four weeks but who's counting...) and I spoke at length with a MuppetVision CM, who broke my heart into about a million pieces with the news that the Studios are in development to make a lot of big changes...including taking out the...

    In the park now 10/25-10/28

    Excellent end to the evening. Went to Epcot for Illuminations. Got FP+ for Soarin' and TT plus supper at The Land, and got decent viewing for the show. Looking forward to a great day at Epcot tomorrow!

    At Nemo in Epcot now - Ride broken but not closed?

    Odd, I didn't even realize the mist and Blackbeard were gone and I was just there yesterday. But I did notice the Pharaoh in Spaceship Earth was broken (and I did tell the CM's, they reacted like they didn't know). He was kind of slumped back in his chair but his eyes were moving. The...

    Key to the world cards AND magic bands

    I'm in the park now. We are stating at AoA and got our MagicBands almost by return mail when I made the reservations. We got KTTW cards on check in. My mom is staying offsite; myself, my son, my mom and my partner are all AP holders. We have been able to use the FP+ for the four resort...

    In the park now 10/25-10/28

    Yesterday at MK, today at AK until mid day/early afternoon. Back at the resort now so that 8 yr old can rest up, possible Illuminations tonight. 1. The CM's are being a lot more bossy and snappy if guests don't do what they are "supposed" to do. It's obvious that the increasing crowd levels...

    In the park now 10/25-10/28

    The addition of FP to pretty much every ride & attraction is a horrible nuisance. No more going early to Indy, and I am grumpily betting that the people picked to be the crowd fillers will be FP'ers. The FP line for Toy Story Midway Mania was brutal too, but since I knew that's a slow loader I...

    In the park now 10/25-10/28

    Studios today. MagicBands working, MDX working. Also able to use room key (KTTW) for traditional Fp's. Early entry for MagicBand/resort guests. Crowds at "normal" levels, wait times reasonable.

    GAC and an 8 yr old with ADHD & ODD

    I don't have any better way to explain. He explodes with aggression directed at his adults when he is thwarted, and it is nearly impossible to keep him still.

    GAC and an 8 yr old with ADHD & ODD

    What accommodations are available to help us cope with the temper tantrums and squirrelly behavior of our particular special needs?

    Possi le to avoid characters at disneyworld?

    If it helps, my experience last week was, we had to seek them out for interactions. A few have outdoor dedicated meeting places like Dug & Russell at AK, Goofy & Pluto at AK; Chip & Dale at AK, MK, HS; Buzz at MK; Marie at MK at the flag pole early in the day; Rafiki out at the satellite...

    My First trip with "S" (Boyfriend) 10/17/13

    On our last full day last week, we went to AK in the morning. Our first character interactions were with Dug & Russell. I asked Russell where his Ellie badge was and he didn't have one! For some reason that made me sad, and I actually went and bought that very pin that day. I might be...

    here now! 6/14 thru 6/23 just the two of us :)

    We had a hard time getting character pictures/autographs. There are just lines from you-know-where for everything this time of year. I did give in and wait about 30 minutes for the Princesses, because I'd made a promise to myself to have a chat with Rapunzel about hair care (I have longer than...

    here now! 6/14 thru 6/23 just the two of us :)

    Today is check out and drive home. I will add any memories, ideas etc when I can (and edit the thread title if possible). I had to stop live updates because it became a conflict between me & the bf...he felt ignored and so I put down the device.

    here now! 6/14 thru 6/23 just the two of us :)

    There is something so right about starting off your day with the Rock'n Rollercoaster. And we got FP's for 9:40 :) He's doing ToT right now (I can't handle it) so I wait in the a/c for ride #2 RnR. Crowds early not as bad as the same time two days ago. They opened the park early again...we...

    here now! 6/14 thru 6/23 just the two of us :)

    We visited resorts yesterday as well. Art of Animation, Boardwalk, Ft Wilderness campground, and the 3 monorail resorts. We also saw Wishes from the beach at the Poly. Very nice! Today another shot at HS.

    here now! 6/14 thru 6/23 just the two of us :)

    HS was kind of a bust. Just too hot and too many people. We did our 1:45 FP on RnR and bailed out. Enjoyed a SeaRacer (small boat) around the Sassagoula River area...until a storm blew up and we got escorted back to the marina by WDW coast guard! No complaints though, I'd rather not be struck...

    here now! 6/14 thru 6/23 just the two of us :)

    It took 30 minutes from the time I paid for our lunch, til we were given our trays. THIRTY MINUTES. And that does not include the time it took to stand in the line to get to the cashier. I was close to crying, it was so awful. Please note, do NOT eat inside the noon hour window!!!
