    Thank you Alexander from Norway, you saved us !!!

    Hi all, I'm coming out of DIS-retirement to shoot out a huge THANK YOU to Alexander, a cast member from Rygge, Norway, who was working at the Akershus restaurant on 01/10. Alexander, you have no idea how much you helped us. This teen girl was so heartbroken over what's been done to the...

    With a Heavy Heart

    I have been away from the DIS, and everything Disney, for quite a while. A few days ago, out of the blue, I felt like reading Robin's TRs again, and I was hoping to find some updates about her and her family, too. Now I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out over a woman I've never met or talked...

    BBB age limit?

    I'd never thought of that and it makes a lot of sense. Maybe even the monorail rehab has something to do with it (getting everything in tip top shape before the massive crowds get there).

    BBB age limit?

    Actually, not at all. It's a good decision for a purely "business" standpoint to keep spots for guests who will spend the most money. However, I'm not a shareholder. I'm a customer. Who's getting a little sick of being nickel and dimed, and seeing prices go up-up-up while services and...

    MK changed their hours until 12am

    If I'm not mistaken they changed park hours for our October trip about a month ago. So I think there could still be changes. They do a good job adapting park hours to crowd levels.

    How much longer will you stay on-site?

    As long as we don't have a car (or the license that comes with) there really is no choice for us but to stay onsite. Well, we could use taxis or hotel shuttles, but shuttles aren't reliable and using taxis 2-4 times a day from a moderately priced hotel on LBV would end up costing us more than...

    Why is everyone criticizing me - again?

    Lordy... I'm getting old. I only started to figure out it was a hoax when I got to the ADR part. :happytv:

    BBB age limit?

    Because then they'd look like the greedy corporation they are. Used to be that you could do the Platinum package for one night. Starting in 2012, you'll have to book a minimum of three nights. Disney has not released anything "proving" that this was a financial decision either. YET...

    All bets are in - will we all make it on the plane??

    Hi all !! Well, I started a PreTR several months ago and never quite got the "courage" to keep it going. See I had a bad feeling about our trip. Always had. They should give me my own Psychic show. Originally we had planned a Totally Different Trip with my sister. Just she & I. We would do...

    MK changed their hours until 12am

    I feel your pain. Going in October is great but I miss those 3AM nights we used to get during Christmas or in summer. This upcoming trip we have one night at 1AM, and one at 9PM. Every other night MK closes at 7PM for MNSSHP. I'm telling ya they will have to kick me out of there on the 1AM night!!!!

    BBB age limit?

    Crown package (BBB's most expensive package available to adults) : $54.95 Castle package for a child : $239.95 I too applaud Disney for yet another great business decision that has, as usual, nothing to do with doing "what's right" for its guests. Let's turn CRT into a "high tea" lounge...

    Where can I buy the vintage looking attraction posters?

    Does anyone have a picture ? I'm heading there next week and would LOVE to buy one of Haunted Mansion. Do they put them in tubes for you ? I'd need to ship it back home or it'd never make it in one piece.

    BBB age limit?

    Why, because little princesses can't stand to see an adult having silly fun ? They were allowed in BBB for years and there was no issue until someone realized that it was costing them money. If adults/teens were being obnoxious, they should have been escorted out. I've yet to read any...

    BBB age limit?

    Maybe they will but I think it probably would confuse guests and could cause trouble at the MK location.

    BBB age limit?

    Call me pessimistic :) I'm not loving many of the decisions that have been taken by Disney execs lately, so I tend to expect the worst. Since I'm a big kid, I really don't want WDW to change too much and start treating adults like second-rate guests. I believe there's also a "My Disney...

    Corn Dogs

    I bought one at a stand outside the car show at DHS. Don't know if it was hand-dipped. To be totally honest it was only the 2nd corn dog of my life and I really have no clue what a hand-dipped corn dog is :rotfl:

    BBB age limit?

    It's the principle of the thing, I guess. Restricting adults from an activity solely because they can make more money out of little girls... that's just not very "magical". Then again, BBB has always been a money trap. Like I said earlier I really have no desire to go to BBB. Why pay someone to...
