    Penguin exhibit, what happened to the ride?

    Allegedly when it was left off during the pandemic the ride vehicle batteries discharged completely and now won’t charge at all, so the ride won’t work. As it wasn’t that popular anyway they decided to leave it for now. It might come back with some changes.

    First timer and a ride wimp - what can I realistically ride at Universal?

    Can you do Splash Mountain? Dudley Do-Rights is a little more extreme but broadly similar to the big drop. Can you do Star Tours? If so Spider-Man and Transformers should be fine. Forbiddon Journey depends on your motion sickness level too.

    What is all day dining

    Also does anyone know if you can just get a drink? I understand its entree, side and drink every 90 minutes. But if I just got a soda, how often can I do that and would getting soda only at 12noon stop me getting a full lunch at 12.30 (for example). Thanks!

    Via Napoli on DDP

    Ah so I assume if you were at any other non-buffet you would order two individual entrees for four to share or similar? I was only thinking of it in terms of you either order one entree per person or an entree for four to share between four. I've never wanted to order fewer single serving...

    Via Napoli on DDP

    Its not a hassle. You order one entree per person. Just ignore the bit of the menu that prices pizza to share and order one entree per person. Or if everyone really does want to share a pizza with the same toppings then save the DDP credits for another night (maybe a signature) and order a...

    What do Cast Members see when they scan your magic bands?

    I've had a band scanned by secuirity when driving into a resort, I assume it is to check if you are a guest of the resort or have a dining reservation entitling you to park there. The most interesting scan we noticed was when a fingerprint read didn't work and a guest services (plaid vest)...

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    Most should be done in July as they are taking bookings for the new Copper Creek Villa rooms, so at least some of the cabins, the pool and the villas in the south wing should be open and Roaring Fork should be open again. I expect there will still be some tree planting and landscaping going on...

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    We were there the week of the hurricane and also watched fireworks from those windows after it was too rainy to watch from the Poly (we had 'Ohana dinner). Although there is no music its a pretty good view with the shutters open.

    Complimentary towels at water parks for Resort Guests

    I've not heard anything about free towels for resort guests. But you can take them from your resort pool (if at moderate or deluxe) and just check them in the used towel bin at the waterpark. Or just take bathroom towels from your room and then return them later (thats what I did).

    D-Lux Burger Drink Question

    At about $11-12 per burger it isn't the best use of a credit when some of the burgers in the MK include fries and go up to $15 (BBQ pork burger at Cosmic Rays) but the D-Lux burgers are better quality.

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    The new DVC rooms are due to open in July, so the Boulder Ridge pool will likely be open a similar time and I would expect the marina to return as well. Roaring Fork is due to re-open July too.

    >> Refillable Mug FAQ <<

    Yes, but there is no cost saving in doing so.

    Weird question..POP coffee prices....Plain old "Cup of Joe"

    Somewhere around $2.70 I think, or $17.99 for unlimited refills for your stay on soda and coffee.

    Random refillable mug question

    My bad memory. For some reason I thought they were only 12oz not 16oz. (My excuse is I'm a Brit and our drinks are normally in litres!).

    Random refillable mug question

    It allows 12oz per mug, so if you want half coke half sprite that can be done, but no more than 12oz overall for each fill across all sodas.

    Price of Refillable mug for 1 night stay

    They aren't a great souvener in my opinion anyway. There are other similar mugs in the parks for around $10 incl soda once. Or see what ceramic mugs they have the gift shops.

    Cinderella's Royal Table- worth the 2 DDP credits? Better choices?

    The wishing stars were brought over just after we were seated then I think we got swords inbetween courses. Three adult guys there for my 30th Birthday, about five years ago though. Girls generally got wands instead of swords.

    Cinderella's Royal Table- worth the 2 DDP credits? Better choices?

    I agree with this, It is definitely a do it once type of place. As adults, our two credits got us much better food at the California Grill, but even as three adult males we had fun at CRT and enjoyed what we ate for dinner. Of course tip and apps are included so you get three courses for your...

    Resort food court closing time

    I thought most of the food courts closed the grill station at 11pm and then served pizza til midnight (with drinks and grab'n'go to midnight to, but one soda machine closed for cleaning). The roast meat station is even shorter hours (5pm to 10pm or similar. The Port Orleans unofficial site...
