    Todd Miner's brother used to work for my brother.

    I have to imagine that John Morgan will be angling to take that case. He is an owner of a DIFFERENT amusement company that competes with Fun Spot.

    They also built Soarin' on the back end of The Land, and that has proven to be one of the more popular rides in EPCOT. But, yeah, I've always like The Land boat ride.

    Yeah, after I typed that, I thought "do everything in the exact opposite order I typed it, especially Frozen first..." :ROFLMAO:

    Sorry, this is my fault for not being clear... Because my dad worked there for 30 years, we knew all the employee places to park, we usually went to hotel restaurants without actually staying at the hotels. However, if you are staying at ONE hotel, they will usually let you drive and park at...

    If you DO go to EPCOT with kids, here's what I suggest: 1. The Living Seas - Has a Nemo/Dory themed ride - also the "walk-around" exhibits after the ride are better than most 2. Spaceship Earth - ride 3. Norway - This is where the Frozen ride is (can have long lines) 4. Mexico - very nice...

    Places to consider at the hotels: Grand Floridian - has at least tree STELLAR restaurants, one on the lake (Narcoosee's) and two in the main building (Victoria & Albert's and Citrico's). Probably the best restaurants on property overall. Polynesian - I love hitting this place on the 2nd floor...

    Great points. At both Animal Kingdom and Busch Gardens Tampa, I've had more luck in the early mornings and late evenings with seeing animal activity. But Animal Kingdom tends to have shorter hours, so morning is probably best.

    This is often true, particularly when they are doing park expansion and ride renovations. I've had some of my worst Disney experiences at Animal Kingdom. I haven't been to AK since COVID, so I'm not sure if it is still as cramped as it once was. There are some shaded areas (probably more...

    You're not doing it "wrong". I'd just say this, I tend to worry less about the hotel if I'm going to be in the parks most of the time, that's why I said to go with one of the cheap ones. But that's a personal preference, and if you plan to spend time at the pools, etc., then YES, the cheap...

    Disney has never been woke, no matter what lies people tell you. Go back and watch Dumbo or Song of the South. And check out Walt's "leanings".

    Couple of things (having lived in Orlando for most of my life)... First, don't rule out staying at a Disney hotel, but go for a cheap one. You get free parking in the PARK lots (not just your hotel) and you get the "Magic Hours" (early admission) on various parks. The extra hour ALONE can get...
