    What is your biggest fear about Marathon weekend?

    This is my 27th Marathon and each one is special and I get nervous at each and every one. I fear oversleeping because we have to get up so early for the DISNEY Races. I did GOOFY 2011 and 2012 and it was hard enough to get up for 2 days so 4 days will be more challenging. Also fear it will get...

    Has Disney miscalculated the economic recovery

    I was in the parks 3 weeks ago. As far as crowds, I noticed large tours groups from South America. But in the middle of July it was easy to ride everything and have a wonderful time. Being a season pass holder from the Panhandle of Florida we have noticed that the crowds have dipped far below...

    Say it ain't so about Tusker House lunch!!

    This place was my favorite by far. Now they will jack up the prices and ruin the dining experience. We at there a lot and never ever saw it empty. I am only there during the marathons and 1/2 marathons and maybe one other holiday (season pass holder in the FL Panhandle), so since it is a...

    2011 DC Marine Corps Marathon

    First FULL MARATHON for me too. I usually run 6-9 Halfs a year but I wanted to step it up this time. Since I am retired NAVY, I wanted to be part of the Marine Corps Marathon, with all the amazing things said about this race. Then on to GOOFY in 2012 since I have already trained all year...

    Simpson ride question

    I was on the SIMPSONS ride twice on Monday. It was so smooth and very entertaining. My expectations were quite high for this ride and as a passholder I had rode BTTF many many times. Looks like the only part of the old ride used was the cars but everything else is new and so much more improved...

    SOG and lack of "Disney" theming?

    The SOG is by far the best value for the money. Military families (at least the one's that I know, I am USN 20 years active) appreciate a good bargain when they have one. NO TAX and room sizes comparable to deluxes can not be beat. I have used SOG three times and will always use it again and...

    Heads up about 50s PT/fried chicken menu change

    Collard greens have been in my diet all my 40 years. They are awesome as long as they are cooked properly. Unfortuntely, Disney may not know "how to prepare them" and then they seem like they came out of a can. BTW, I ate at PT twice in one week just two weeks ago and the green beans were very...

    I'm Boycotting WCC

    My family and I ate there last week. I read the amazing reviews and man was I disappointed. The restaurant was completely full and all the focus was on one table. Some lady kept getting these super size ice teas and the rest of us just watched. There was a birthday song sung throughout the...

    Disney Quest Question

    Just returned from DQ. All the video games are now free but many were not working. Crowds were super thin and 5-10 minute waits were all we had. Myself and my two sons did all the rides and even got through line at Pirates of the Caribbean in ten minutes. I really does appear that Disney has let...
