Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
We were at the Animal Kingdom park yesterday and coming off of Dinosaur when the Dream Team flagged the people in front of my wife with the Cinderella's Castle stay! (I was waiting with my twins.) Oh so close...
Today, I was waiting with my twins at ToT, and my wife, son and daughter came...
I also rode it on Sunday, and it left me disappointed too. Looks like they're anticipating long lines for it, since the queue goes into the old "pre-movie" area.
I think the thing that I disliked the most was the overt marketing opportunity. If this keeps up, the TestTrack cars will be...
But I figure that I couldn't find the answer with Google, so I'll try here...
In the Bear in the Big Blue House episodes currently running on the Disney Channel, the opening song "Welcome to Woodland Valley" has a lyric that it utterly indistinguishable, even after having heard it 100+ times...
Never even thought about that...
I do get to WDW for a few conferences a year (going in October...) and I typically fly down a day early, and leave the day following... don't want to deal with the rushing around at the conference and have "no Mouse time".
I love my annual pass. I carry it...
Too late, I'm home... :sad2:
We had originally booked the Poly to do something different, but the AP rates were too good to pass up. We did go to the Poly to have breakfast at Ohana's (which I thought was pretty good and relatively cheap...), and having been to Hawaii twice, I think it...
My, my...
People getting defensive over their beloved Beach Club?
I'm home now, and going through Disney withdrawal. In retrospect, the BC is a very different kind of Disney vacation experience. It's not for me, but it's not "bad". I won't return unless there is a convention or...
Without quoting everyone that asked, here is an expansion to my original post:
I stated that it felt less Disney than other hotels, and I'll stick by that. In almost every way, I feel that the other premium resorts outshine BC (except the pool).
Crowds aside, here is a short list of...
So my wife and I were waiting for our table at Beaches and Cream for lunch today, and she had an epiphany.
"You know what the biggest complaint I have about the Beach Club is? It's the sharing. You have the Villas, the BC, and YC all sharing the restaurants and pools. It's too crowded."...
Sorry for the confusion-
Open to the public meant that it is along the promenade between Epcot and the Dolphin and Boardwalk. There are a ton of people mulling around, and to get to the slide, you need to walk through them and the surrey bikes...
Also- I saw wristbands one day, but mostly...
So we're standing in line today at Summit Plummet ski-lift, and the guy behind me is carrying on a conversation with his daughters, who are at least 10 people in front of us. I'm waiting for him to try to cut the line, but he's perfectly content screaming up ahead to them.
Finally, I've had...
So here I am, father of 4 very well behaved kids (ok, 2 are infants, but they will be...) at the Beach Club. My son is 8, and getting to be old enough to start being a solo act, but my daughter is a 5 year old tag-along.
I've been letting them go up to the Pirate slide at the Beach Club by...
It's not a bad place. The room is nice. The resort is nice. But I'll also add this:
The pool is very spread out between two hotels AND open to the "public". In the other resorts, the pool is very secluded and we like this very much. With the spread between the BC and the YC, and the fact...
Quickly:
1.) No big lobby area like the MK resorts- people have nowhere to relax in an open, common space. We used to sit in the lobby and watch the cartoons with other families and just hang out after a day of parkhopping.
2.) Some of it is the heat/lines... but also the people seem...
Three more full days to go, and one half on Saturday...
We've been at the BC for 4 days (and one half) and we love the pool, but the resort feels like it's missing something. As a WL and AKL regular, I don't "get" the BC. I'm normally not a Florida in the summer visitor, but here's what the...
Wife turned down a chance for dinner at V&A... can't part from the kids for the night :confused3
Maybe in February...

(Yes, I know DDE isn't any good at V&A...)
I just came back from a three day backpacking trip in Yosemite, and it was awesome! It was just myself and my oldest boy, and we left the mommy, my daughter, and my infant twins home on the couch... They leave for the beach tomorrow, and I'll be travelling for business (ANYTHING to avoid a...
Seriously, it's like 90 degrees by 8:30 in the morning...
I do recommend a lightweight long sleeve t-shirt to cut down on the sunscreen (I hate the stuff) and a broad brimmed hat and sunglasses...
The sun will get you...
