SteelMentor posted:Eating at the parks has been a big concern for me. My family's adventurous but very picky with the quality of food and I'd rather not hear them bitch for the entire vacation because they had one bad burger somewhere. For Citywalk, try Cowfish or the chocolate emporium. Do NOT eat inside the park proper. For Magic Kingdom, I loved Skipper Canteen, and I've heard mixed things about Be Our Guest. Pecos Bill's is serviceable Tex-Mex in a sit down setting. I've heard good things about...Harbor House, I believe it's called? New England food with a focus on seafood, I believe. At Epcot...literally everything in the World Showcase is good. I really liked Teppan Japan and...the Moroccan restaurant whose name I can't remember. Disney Springs has Morimoto's which I will be trying in September and have heard nothing but good things. I also absolutely 100% loved Frontera Cocina in DS. Some of the tastiest Mexican food I've had, although pretty pricy. I've never eaten at HS or AK. Honestly, I think by and large, the food in Disney Springs is the best and eating inside the park is mostly a crapshoot everywhere besides the World Showcase. That said, I have heard great things in this thread about some of the AK restaurants.

I was able to get a spot to watch Rivers of Light in the Asia viewing area. Is this any good? We've never seen RoL before.

Is Not So Scary Halloween worth it for a 30 year old couple with no kids? I'm trying to convince the wife it's worth the additional $80 price tag. Do they kick people out who don't buy the extra ticket on those days or what? What's stopping us from staying in the park after dark?

Okay, we're sold. However, do we get free entrance to MNSSH with our silver Annual Passes or is it an extra $80 each?

If we have the annual pass, do we need to buy the ticket to NSSHP at the gate or ahead of time to get the 10% or whatever discount?

Are Fast Pass reservations not available at all during MNSSH? I guess all the rides have short waits as it is, it just seemed odd.

That sucks, but it definitely wasn't my experience last night. We got to ride everything with no wait being over 20 minutes. Mine Cart, Big Thunder, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Aladdin...Saw the parade and fireworks too. Rain sucks, but the worst of it cleared up pretty quickly and we ended up having a great time.

Look to see if your employer has any kind of "Tickets at Work" service. We use my wife's service and find offsite hotels at nice discounts ($20-40 a night off), which covers the resort fees and more. We always stay at the resorts right next to Disney Springs which have direct shuttles that run at least an hour or two after closing. Paying for parking and driving to Disney sucks.

Funkmaster General posted:I stayed at B Resort right next to Disney Springs and never had to wait for a bus or had any problems with the schedule. They even ran until 1am for Halloween party goers. This guy gets it. I think your trip and mine actually overlapped. We stayed at the Best Western on that street. Trying the Windham in November.

Wife and I are going March 1st-3rd before our AP expires. Hoping to ride FoP and enjoy Flower and Garden. If we want to do Epcot/Animal Kingdom/Magic Kingdom on a Thursday-Saturday, what’s the best order to do it in? I imagine MK for Thursday since it’d be the least packed. Beyond that, not sure.

Well, we usually do counter service or the stalls around Epcot. We’ve gone to Teppan Edo and Skipper Canteen and loved them, so we were looking for something along those lines. We’re not huge eaters, but Tiffins would have been our main meal for the day. Small portions + big price tag doesn’t sound great. Tusker House and Yak and Yeti sound cool. I’ll check ‘em out.

Not worth it. Ride Everest like six or seven times instead. Unless you never, ever plan to go back to Animal Kingdom, I guess.

Beachcomber posted:They should've done Beastly Kingdom At least when they started this whole thing, Avatar was huge. In hindsight, Beastly Kingdom would’ve been 100x better, but then James Cameron decided a decade was an appropriate length of time between sequels. Either way, Avatar sucks, but Pandora is pretty cool.

What’s Runaway Rail supposed to be? Also, teenagers talking loudly in Portugese is no worse than teenagers talking loudly in English. If you only have a problem with the former, you’re a racist. If you have a problem with both, then it sounds like Walt Disney World isn’t for you?

RCarr posted:I'm going to Disney in April. I'm not staying in a Disney resort, so I can only do my fast pass stuff 30 days in advance. Is there any chance of me booking Flight of Passage, or the other big name rides via fastpass? I assume not, since people staying at Disney have 30 whole days before me to reserve this stuff. I’m going March 3 & 4 and booked 30 days in advanced and got everything I wanted except FoP, including Naavi River Journey. You shoukd be fine (besides FoP)

RCarr posted:So basically if I want to do FoP, I will have to stand in line for 2-3 hours? Is it worth it? I’ve never ridden it, but 3-4 hours sounds right and not worth it unless your next Disney trip won’t be for a long, long time. We’re early risers but won’t be getting to Orlando until the afternoon the day we go to AK so we’re not rope dropping. I agree that if you’re willing to rope drop, it’s probably worth it.

Just had a great time at Animal Kingdom. Posted wait time for FoP was 80 minutes. It ended up being less than 60. Ride was fantastic! Na’vi River Journey loving sucked. Glad I had a fastpass to blow through the queue. Fantastic weather and light crowds. Good stuff. Flower + Garden tomorrow!

Settle down, Beavis. For content, Epcot was great yesterday. Small crowds all morning, beautiful weather. Try the chilaquiles in Mexico. They’re loving amazing. The macaron on a stick in France is top tier, as was the duck confit. So tender. Tried a citrus swirl in MK. As a big orange juice drinker, I was disappointed. Dole Whips still reign supreme. Disney Springs is quickly becoming as much of a destination for the wife and I as the parks proper. So much to do and see. Great food. Enzo & Maria’s was awesome and cheap-ish.

I enjoy parent meltdowns more. I see at least one of those every trip. Once saw a guy walking no less than five children under five and yelling at them. I turned back to see the commotion and he yelled “Can I help you?!” at me. I turned my head back, and kept walking with a  look on my face.

Funkmaster General posted:I stayed there about this time last year. The lobby is heavily perfumed, which some people probably won't like (I thought it was fine), and the shower took some time to get hot enough for me, but other than that I had no real complaints. I didn't make use of the pool, gift shop, restraunt, or anything so I can't really give you a judgement on that, but walkable to disney springs and a tighter budget meant Earl of Sandwich for dinner each night, which was delightful. The bus waiting area has a straight-up outdoor couch, which was nice when it wasn't crowded. More comfortable than a wooden bench, although even being covered I imagine things get awkward when it rains a lot. Nice. Yeah, we're basically using it to sleep and shower and hold our stuff. We'll be at the parks all day for F&W and at AK. With that said, my partner gets pretty bad allergies if the place isn't really clean which can ruin the trip. I'm guessing the place didn't spring any red flags for you IRT cleanliness?
