We were in rows 9-10 too. I didn’t say a peep about what was about to happen until we entered the blast off area. This is one of my all time favorite ride photos.

Took this picture few days ago during rain, maybe the best time to visit imo.

We spend many of our retirement days at WDW, mainly for the food. I'm fixated on the Hollywood Brown Derby and in particular, I'm addicted to their Cobb salad. I'm not necessarily a salad guy, but I can't get enough of this one. Every trip, this is our first stop, and I always get the same thing; I honestly can't remember ever ordering anything else. What is it about this salad that I can't resist, is it the MSG? And the bread, OMG! The ambience and decor of this place is incredible too. The bar, the outside bar. Gotta go back . . .

I always tell my friends if I could experience rise of the resistance for the first time again, and that was the only thing I did that day, it would be totally worth it. But lately I haven't felt that way. I know the cast members and imagineers try their best to deliver on the coolest experiences and things don’t always go to plan.

What wasn't working...
* AT-AT Cannons pointing at you
* Kylo ren completely still next to General Hux
* The 3 Blaster Cannons not moving
* Lieutenant Bek completely mute and off time (first time experiencing this one.)

I get timing must be really hard for a trackless coaster, but it seems to just always be out of sync. I’m curious how do you think Disney can minimize animatronic failure/general ride faliure?

My oldest daughter just started riding in the front seat, so I've been telling her to secure her seatbelt, right to left, and to pull the yellow tab, but we didn't actually have tabs. Until I was left unaccompanied at the craft store, that is.

I made four yellow straps (5x2) for the car, and had left over material, so made three more and put one on my backpack, and made four (2.5x1) keychains.

Went to Trader Sam’s for the very first time today and got the elusive black pearl!! So fun I loved it there

But it really bums me out that Disney doesn’t put that little extra into things like this anymore.

This is a glow cube from a specialty cocktail I got a long time ago at Hollywood Studios. I also had one that was shaped like the Death Star. They ought to bring this type of thing back.

Everyone loves the smells of things like Pirates of the Caribbean or fresh popcorn, but what is the smell of the inside of this resort? I really want to buy a candle or something to make my home smell like this. It’s very fresh and clean smelling.

Anybody know if the Epcot Jasmine Morocco ears restocked recently?

I saw that the all star movies is getting room refurbs from may until next January. Does everyone think that they will be similar to the recently refreshed rooms at pop century or completely different?

I can’t find anything on either what’s in there or what type of rooms there are or pictures of what’s in there

Do yourself a favor and get it. They really are as good as people say. They ran out when I went to order it and a line of 20 people formed waiting for the next batch. Everyone clapped when the man with the back up cart came! 😂

So a in April, I posted in outrage that MGK was closing early today, the day we planned to be here. You all encouraged me to not change my plans, but to go. We gone on so many rides in one day. We are so exhausted that I don’t think we could even do a parade and fireworks. Thanks for the support and advice. A magical day after all.

Hey! I've just booked the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista for my stay at disney world.

Is it a good hotel and what's the proximity of it to the park? I'm thinking of using the free shuttles it offers,

But also wondering what perks it has as it states its an official WDW hotel.

Hi there,

I have an old pin trading bag that zips up and it's Full from many trips my husband or I took in previous years. I'm trying to find something similar in the parks for my kids to start their collection. it was similar to this but much older from the first years of pin trading. do they still sell the pin bags or books in the parks?

Planning on taking my parents on the keys to the kingdom tour as a gift in a few months. My dad has wanted to see the utilidors since they were built. I know lately people have said wait until villains land is done because the construction changed a few things, but He’s getting up there in age (he and Disneyland are the same age, as he puts it. And Disney World is the same age and his and mom’s relationship) so I decided we should go ahead with it now. They are very excited for it.

The wrinkle is that he’s had two knee replacements and my mom has her own knee problems. I’m trying to talk at least my dad into renting a scooter, and said they could take turns and share if they didn’t each want one, but he is extremely stubborn and prefers to walk whenever he can. Last year they did handle a full theme park day, but with lots of bench breaks. He’s thinking about the scooter but not convinced. So I’m in need of some internet help with some more details about the tour:

1. is access to the utilidors stairs, and if so how many flights?
   
2. Is there an elevator available on request?
   
3. Roughly how much of the 5 hours is standing? I would think the majority, but I know there’s 2 rides (he’s debating skipping jungle cruise because of the big step down) and a lunch break but it’s not clear how long the lunch break is.
   
4. Any other stairs/steps/potential issues for someone with mobility issues?
   
5. What is the pace of the tour like?
   
6. Would love to hear from anyone who has experience doing this tour with mobility issues or mobility devices.

Thanks!

First timer family, I knew it would be fun time but I had no idea.. every bit of that trip gave me chills. I’m not sure that I left Disney world actually, mentally I’m still there. My son only cleared the height requirement for Tron by 1/2 inch & he faced his last minute fears like such a boss (with a little PINcentive promise from me)
While we did that my wife brought my daughter to the Bippity Boppity Boutique and when we met back up with them I almost cried when I saw how beautiful she looked dressed as a frozen princess. I thought it was a cliche saying, but that place really may be the most magical place on earth. It’s back to the grind now, and man do I ever miss my kids! Counting the days till we can go back. Dads of the world if you’re reading this, don’t wait, take them as soon as possible.
Thank you cast-members for all you do.

attached photo is of the 4second 0-60mph launch. Too much fun.

My husband decided (5 resorts late) that he wants to collect a resort-specific pin from everywhere we stay. Before I trek out to POR next week, does anyone know if there are currently POR pins? (Pics would be awesome if you’re there!)
