    AP Renewal Discount Question

    In the past, we've always renewed our passes after the expiration date and have always received the discount. I received an email from Disney and the wording is as follows: "It's your last chance to save up to 15% when you renew! Save up to 15% when you renew your Pass status before it...

    Anyone ever seen any incidents at bag check?

    This is only my opinion, but I think people generally overestimate the capabilities and the reach of Disney Security. I periodically see posts that seem to suggest that we're being monitored on real time video feeds virtually everywhere. Logistically, that's simply not possible. Rides are...

    For those going soon...they're baaaack...tour groups

    I assume sarcasm here. But if not this will come as quite a surprise to all the lovely ladies in Orlando strip clubs who are required to wear pasties.

    For those going soon...they're baaaack...tour groups

    What you've described is without a doubt an absolutely terrible experience. But there's something I feel the need to question a little. You said - "AND they all had selfie sticks...which made me even madder!" In a later post you described them all taking photos with these selfie sticks. I...

    For those going soon...they're baaaack...tour groups

    Was at Epcot for a few hours today and while the overall crowd was light, there were several very large BTGs. No chanting, singing, locking arms or any of that. Merely following their flags in groups of threes and fours.

    For those going soon...they're baaaack...tour groups

    Just my 2¢ on this. Not doubting that many of you have had terrible experiences with the groups. My interactions have been about 70% positive and that includes my very frequent visits as a local APer and my experience from working in a hotel that housed tens of thousands of these kids dating...

    Boat Situation on Seven Seas Lagoon

    Tonight at BC the movie was being shown on the lawn by the volleyball court. There were no guests.

    What is going on in July? Easy to get ADRs and FP.

    Just for the heck of it I checked FP availability for Soarin on June 17, the day the new movie opens. There is availablity throughout the day. That seems remarkable to me.

    Tropical Depression may be forming next week

    This has been pretty much a non event. A couple inches of rain. Wind at 15 or 20 mph. But local Channel 6 promised to be on "Hurricane" watch all day today.

    Survey: AP blockout dates after new attractions open?

    My AP goes back to last August so I have no blackouts and I got this survey as well. There were plenty of fluff questions like the OP accurately quoted. But there were also plenty of opportunities to describe WDW as "greedy", "too expensive", "not worth it", etc. etc. There were numerous...

    Here now- MK security

    A couple of things if I may. In no way am I dealing with the issues that you have to, but I can definitely have a short fuse and in fact blew my cork with a supervisor the first time I was selected for screening. Mainly because I think it's largely a waste of time and done for show. That...

    Here now- MK security

    But I can get cleared at TTC, monorail to Epcot, meet my buddy in the parking lot who hasn't been cleared. Same at the other parks via bus or boat. Or my buddy can walk over from the Contemporary. Yes, all of these possibilities could be covered, but it would require massive expenditures on...

    Here now- MK security

    It seems to me that if a bad guy gets cleared somewhere other than the main entrance, you simply meet your accomplice outside the front gates of whatever park and he hands you a backpack with four semis- and 8 extra clips for you and your buddies and chaos ensues.

    Here now- MK security

    I experienced the "everyone goes" last week at AK and it really wasn't much of a problem. I prefer this to the random security theater approach. It did, however, expose a slight chink in their security armor. I spent my couple of minutes in line after the bag check moving various items from...

    One-way SoCal-SEA car rental for camping road trip: advice

    I recommend the Enterprise "Month or More program". 1-800-209-3602. Website Here I did this last year with them and had a full size SUV for about $1100 all in. I didn't rent in California though so it's probably higher out there. One thing to look out for - renting at or near an airport may...

    Beach between Savannah and WDW

    This would be my choice.

    85 in April vs. 91 in July?

    The worst of it for me, and I've never gotten used to it even after decades in Orlando, is the fact it's often in the high eighties, humid, and totally still at 11pm and after.

    Flower & Garden 2016, a few reviews

    I find it interesting (not a criticism at all BTW), that a review of Flower and Garden is a food review and not a review of Flowers and Gardens. This just shows the evolution of this festival, and Epcot in general.
