    Pictures of things No Longer Seen at WDW

    From my first trip in 1979: Original Treehouse Villa: The bathtub in the THV: Main Street U.S.A. with a side of horse: Old-school WDW transpo: I think this is part of River Country: These are definitely River Country: This one's backwards, but I didn't realize it until...

    Lens Conundrum

    Definitely the 24-70 if you're traveling with family or kids. I have found the most success carrying my 24-105 (or previously the 17-55) when we're down there with our kids. I've found it much easier than taking primes (I've taken my 50/1.4 and Sigma 85/1.4) because you're so often working...

    Not renewing APs?

    This is a great point about FP+ and one of my complaints about it versus legacy FP. It's the #2 complaint on my list, though - #1 is that it doesn't cater at all to park hoppers like us. I'd love to book a single FP+ experience in one park and then a second/third in another park because we...

    Annual Pass Discount and Magic Bands

    When we were there with Magic Bands in mid-September, we were told that for dining discounts like AP and TiW, we still had to carry the actual AP's or the TiW card, and our ID to go along with it. Same with wanting an AP discount on any merchandise in the stores - better have your actual AP and...

    "Unleash the Villains" mayhem - Disney Parks Blog up if you want to comment

    We made a trip down from Michigan because of Villains Night, and I've got to say, this is the first time I've been disappointed in DisneyWorld - on my 20th trip. We got into DHS around 4:30 and were told in the stores that we couldn't buy event merchandise yet because they couldn't sell it until...

    Current Bounceback?

    We're at BCV and I just called the extension referenced a few posts above (thanks!) and they said the only future stay offer right now is free dining Aug 20 - Sept 29. There's nothing in our room either about a bounceback offer. Bummer, I'd have booked two additional stays if there were!

    Can anyone recommend a good/accurate pedometer?

    I use an iOS app called Cyclemeter, which uses GPS to track your movements, and includes vertical feet as well, so you can track how much you climb and descend in addition to linear miles. It's probably a bit much if you only want to track miles at Disney, because it also works great for...

    Big changes to WCC menus on Wednesday

    I'm not thrilled about this change, but eh, most of the dining changes in the post-DDP world haven't been well-received in our house. I do have a question, though: Does each adult have to order the skillet, like at a buffet where each adult is charged? Is it possible for an adult to order...

    CM: "You may not check in until your ADR time" 50s PTC

    FYI, I'm not paranoid at all, and I don't think people are out to get me ever - but since you didn't quote in your reply, I'm not sure if you're referring to me or someone else that replied in this thread. This isn't really about me at all anyway - this is about 50s PTC going against the grain...

    Elf on Shelf at Disney

    Just got back from a 12/2 - 12/9 trip, and our Elf was there. He said that he enjoyed the weather, as a break from the normal North Pole-ish weather here in Michigan.

    CM: "You may not check in until your ADR time" 50s PTC

    Thanks, we just got seated at 6:35. I am going to talk with guest services, but not looking for any comps.

    CM: "You may not check in until your ADR time" 50s PTC

    Thanks! I did manage to check in just now, they said about thirty minutes. So guess I'll have to wait a bit longer for my pb&j shake :)

    CM: "You may not check in until your ADR time" 50s PTC

    Tried again at 5:45 lol. Rejected again, but at least this CM wasn't rude. She said "if I check you in now, you'll wait longer than if you check in at your ADR time." Are they trying to fudge a wait-time metric or something?

    CM: "You may not check in until your ADR time" 50s PTC

    I am standing outside 50s PTC after being told at 5:30 that I cannot check in for my 5:55 reservation until 5:55. The CM working the desk was very rude and said "there is no way I can let you check in before your reservation time, because we are so busy", after I mentioned that we are told to...

    Any car sick folks ride Test Track? Input please

    I have two motion-sickies in my crew, and neither of them have any problems on Test Track - we ride it a ton. Star Tours, on the other hand, bothers me, and I'm not even remotely motion-sensitive. Also, Bonine is great for kids prone to motion sickness.

    First trip since 1/2010...a few questions (tickets/wifi)

    Thanks! That's close enough - I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into any problems redeeming them without being a DVC member.

    First trip since 1/2010...a few questions (tickets/wifi)

    Thanks - that's great! Free and wireless is so much better than $9.95 and wired! Anybody wanna tackle my AP questions?

    First trip since 1/2010...a few questions (tickets/wifi)

    We're staying in a 1BR at BWV and then moving to a 1BR at BLT on our last night. These are both cash reservations, and we are not DVC members. 1. Do those two resorts have free in-room wifi? I know their non-DVC counterparts do, but the lists I can find only list the Deluxe Resorts, and not...
