This was one of the rotating stories on the AOL main page today. When I saw the pic of the Poly pool come up, I felt the familiar twinge of excitement I get whenever I see anything that has to do with Disney outside of my little bubble. That excitement was quickly replaced by confusion and frustration as I read through each page. I can only hope that the people reading the article will find their way to the DIS for some real do's & don'ts. I will say, it's not 100% wrong, but on the whole, is VERY misleading. Only deluxes offer free airport shuttles and only some of the time?? I can get early entry to a different park EACH day, and again, only at a deluxe?! Spring for a VIP tour guide so you don't have to go through the frustration of planning, but the next page says to map out a detailed plan. :confused3
Their 'don't' about staying at a Value, it completely contradicts itself within the paragraph. Oh yeah, and apparently you can get as many FP's as you want until they run out!! But I will say that I wasn't too upset with their statement that you must come back during the 1 hour time frame posted on the FP ;)

WDW Do's & Don'ts - AOL style
 
ERR.. these articles annoy me!!

Disney has eight "deluxe" resorts, such as Disney's Polynesian Resort, if you're after convenience and comfort. They're fancifully designed, well-situated, and, like all on-campus hotels, offer guests early entrée to a different park each day, free parking, and sometimes free airport shuttles. Less expensive, if a bit less thrilling: Starwood's Dolphin, Starwood's Swan, and a Hilton -- three of the better non-Disney-owned hotels that have sprouted right on Disney's turf.

There are four Disney theme parks to tackle: The Magic Kingdom (kiddie rides and the iconic castle), Epcot (World's Fair fare), Disney's Hollywood Studios (Tinseltown celebrated), and Animal Kingdom (lions and tigers and mice, oh my!).

LOL, that cracked me up! :rotfl:
 
I never even bother reading AOL's Disney stuff anymore, they are notoriously inaccurate.

I'll take mine as steak, please. :laughing:

I also read this article and thought . . . . WHAT!!! A guide for $175 an hour is necessary to have fun. :confused3
 
Where do they get these "Travel Experts"?! :confused3
 
a number that the original "imagineer" never would have foreseen when he opened his ground-breaking amusement park in 1971, five years after his death.
he opened it from beyond the grave?
