Did everyone see the dedication ceremony last night with the 2 X-Wing fighters "flying" around? That was the best part, the character actors and speakers were terrible.

Yeah, the media and celebs eventually got to ride after the "delay". Went down again this morning. One interesting thing I saw on a FB post is that in order to ride you have to go into MDE and join a boarding group. Hope they were telling everyone in line about that. There was another FB photo that showed all the boarding groups were filled for today.

Reported by the Tampa Bay Times The ride is down at a Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance preview Media members were turned back after getting most of the way through the queue. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, which opens at Walt Disney World on Thursday, is one of the most important new attractions at the park in years. The marquee ride is a long-awaited addition to the new themed land in Hollywood Studios. The park invited hundreds of media members for a sneak peak on Wednesday. So far, there have been bumps in the media preview. After reporters got most of the

By 6:15 it's getting light in Tampa (still need headlights), but we are further west than Orlando so they should be getting lighter by 6.

People can always park at DS, bus to those resorts, and still use the Skyliners. Just a little extra work and time.

We were able to park at Boardwalk and WL this weekend to go see the decorations. My daughter tried Beach Club and they wouldn’t let her in so she went to Boardwalk. I showed my ID and Passholder card each time. I’m wondering if the new toll booth bypass to the MK hotels is another reason they are cracking down on people parking at the hotels since it’s easier to get to them.

Our biggest issue was that there were 2 dogs on a site with tents, which according to everything I’ve read and heard is not allowed. When we mentioned that, we got the lame excuse that “maybe there are service dogs and we can’t ask”. But service dogs don’t bark.

The biggest breaker of Disney rules is Disney itself. We mentioned about that no pets in tents notice, and that's when the CM told us they couldn't ask if they were service dogs. They have been allowing all kinds and sizes of campers in the partial loops for years, even though their pages say partial loops are for tents, pop ups, and van campers. There was a picture on a Fort FB page of a Class A shoehorned into a site on the 2000 loop over Halloween. So I won't feel bad about parking my T@B on a partial, it's smaller than a lot of PUPs. We got exactly what we expected

They showed a clip from their home page and there is a pop up camper/truck bed tent available.

Elon Musk presented the Tesla Cybertruck tonight in Los Angeles, putting one giant bow on this year’s L.A. Auto Show that’s already seen the reveal of the electric Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tesla played it completely straight with its reveal, but we're still struggling to believe that the whole thing wasn't one big joke. If it isn't, well, here are all the details. We don’t have everything (in fact, there's a lot missing), but Musk has still given us some big chu

We had it both ways. My wife sewed on 2 different sets of tabs. Before the picture we had it staked down.

Site is acting odd, freezing up and won't let me add to the previous post. While I was taking pictures my wife was talking to one of the bakers. He said the cabin was about 50% finished. They were going to add stonework around the base similar to the chimney, along with poinsettias and Humphrey Bear stringing lights. I've seen pictures of the finished cabin and it's pretty great for it's first year. Also after we got home Monday night I saw that there are limited edition pins for each of the resorts showing their gingerbread creations. And I did not know that Saratoga has so

Time to continue with the TR. Had life interrupt it. Let me back up, Saturday night my daughters stayed a while longer at MK. They came back to the site around 9:30 and said they were going to head back over in a while because one of our favorite performers Lindsey Sterling was supposedly going to be performing at 11. A CM told them as long as they were back in the park before closing at 11 they could stay. They ended up not going back, because they said that each act was multiple takes, and they weren't 100% sure that she was really going to be there. Sunday after breakfast

Hmmm, I had read just the opposite, can't remember where. When we were there Veterans weekend, the sign for the carriage ride was still up, but the one for the wagon ride was missing.

You know these will sell out, anything with the word Princess in it and the Mommy Bloggers freak out!

It's getting to the point, that unless you want to spend extra $$$ you won't be getting any extra times in the parks! Disney Early Morning Magic Gets a Royal Treatment at Magic Kingdom Park! A dream is a wish your heart makes… and my heart is wishing to go to Magic Kingdom Park to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the release of the animated film “Cinderella.” To commemorate the platinum anniversary of Walt Disney’s classic movie, Disney Early Morning Magic at Magic Kingdom Park will receive a royal treatment perfect for princesses and princes of all ages! For eight magical

It's a shame with all the $$ that is charged for going to the Fort that they don't have better information available at check in about the sites. When we went last weekend the CM showed me the book with a hand drawn map of the 2000 loop. No site information, no landmark references, etc. There were a couple of drawing of the comfort stations but not the sidewalks leading to them between some of the sites. Fort Fiends has better info then Disney has. Same thing when we went to the front counter before we left asking about different types of sites. The CM went into the back room and came out

Landmark moments in Walt Disney World history essentially become noteworthy parts

We were there Veterans weekend and were assigned the 2000 loop. We asked about 1500 and the CM called someone. I think it was to inside the building because he said the persons name when he called. Maybe they called central from in there.

Good start. It's really a shame that the 2000 loop has turned into the party/no rules apply loop. If they cracked down on the rule breakers maybe they would get the hint and go to another campground. There are some really nice sites on the loop. What they need to do is create a dedicated path from 2000 over to the group camp area and to the bridge to the 900 loop so you don't have to walk between a couple of sites.

The big issue I had with this entire process, is a lack of communication. I signed up back with the D23 special, got a confirmation I paid, and that was it. No instructions on what my account/password was, no notifications on how to get logged in etc. My login/password was the same as all of my other Disney accounts (MDE, Disney Go, Disney movie rewards). So I guess if you change your PW on Disney + it'll change it on everything?

We signed up with the D23 special a few months ago go 3 years for the price of 2. When I went to watch the Imagineers the first morning it said it wasn’t available. Guess it was a part of their start up issues.

We try to rectify that later in the saga. I also picked up a limited edition Santa Jack Skellington with a toy bag full of jack o lanterns
