How very sad that they can't even be bothered to give the Fort some respect and at least put up decent looking fences. Our plan for this summer was no parks - just a nice relaxing stay in the campground. It would be the first time for us, but now I am worried that we will have to find places to go to avoid sitting peacefully in a full blown construction site.

I think we are just a different type of "vacationeer." When the kids were young, we simply enjoyed following them around and seeing what they would choose to do. Some days we would be in the park a couple of hours before we rode an attraction. When they got tired, we headed back to our resort for rest and pool time returning to the park later in the day refreshed. It is also why we never really needed to carry too much extra stuff. That's just how it worked best for us - in many ways it still does.

I must be a horrible Mommy since my oldest son never did Disney in a stroller. He has been walking the parks since his first trip at 4 years of age.

Our brick was my wedding gift to my husband. Not sure if a "replacement" brick carries the same sentiment....

Unfortunately, I am not fond of that....

I still miss the orange....

Been ready since December 26th!

That sounds like a really fun experience.

Not a fan of cotton candy either. Why ruin good ice cream and it surely can't help candy corn ice cream...

As a household of musicians and dancers, we are fans of Illuminations because the display precisely coordinates with the soundtrack. It is not a fireworks show, but choreographed theatre. Hopefully, they will not replace it with something as lackluster as the Wishes replacement. Now, that is a fireworks show with music and the music has no soul - other than the instrumental sections, it is like listening to pop radio. It will be highly disappointing if they go for technology over art, instead of art using technology.

Sadly, yes. We saw the ranger stop by to check on the him a few times. Don't know if they ever spoke with the owners.

I wish the folks staying across from us this summer had thought of this. They left their poor pup tethered outside of their tent all day. Fortunately, they thought to leave water and found a shady spot, but I still felt sorry for the cute little guy.

Ahh...I wish they would have just sprinkled my camper.

We had problems with the wireless connections dropping out in the middle of the night, but for the most part found the service ok.

That does not look appealing to me....

We had our honeymoon dinner there, too....

Had not even considered that. Territory Lounge is always a stop on our "adult" night because it is quiet with good service.

We love behind the seeds, too. Three hours would be great.

At one point they had a breakfast with Pocohantas. I find it hard to believe that they would do something to this at one of their critically acclaimed restaurants. Would be like changing the California Grill to a character buffet....

Looks fun! Sorry we missed it.

The boys are of the opinion that they should be running trams to the bus stops since they are further away than the parking lots. The extreme distance added to our general disappointment in the bus transportation this summer.

We did dive with him - it was my first dive too. Since we were in the tank, we don't have pictures. We did buy the video and it was really worth it. When I look at it now, he seems so small. Hope you will report on your experience.

DH and DS visited the Studios last week and were shocked to be dropped off at a bus stop that was farther from the park entrance than both the parking lots and the charter bus parking. When they finally got to the entrance area all of the old bus stops were blocked off. Does anyone know if this is a temporary condition?

My DS got certified at 11 (DH is an instructor) and did his first dive in the Living Seas - it was fantastic! Enjoy.

Thanks! Maybe I was Daddy's girl, but for me he was a really special guy.
