Just sharing some pictures from our family trip that took place the week of September 21 2001.

There’s a few that came up with; Who wants to be a millionaire studio show, some pictures of the Millennium Village parade. And a City background that I can’t pin point if it was part of MGM studios back in that era.

Enjoy

Hello Internet Walt Disney enthusiasts

Going through some old family pictures that my parents had saved from trips many moons ago. Any insight to which building the first picture may have been from? It’s possible the building may not even exist anymore.

News Just wondering does anyone know when Millenium ride went down today in DHS?

• Upvotes

Wait times show that it is down. I know it happens. I know no one can know why and no one can know when it will be back up.

I just want to know if it was posted as offline as soon as the park opened or shortly thereafter.

TIA

Resorts & Accommodations Dolphin vs Pop

11 Upvotes

Trying to decide between Dolphin and Pop

We are strongly considering booking dolphin hotel for mid Feb. (Swan sold out)

We are marriot members and going with a group of friends so thought location wise it would be cool to be more in the center of things.

We have stayed at Pop, Port Orleans, Grand Floridian, and AKL. We loved Pop for a budget trip, but our favorite is AKL but thats not in the budget this trip.

I like that you get the extra magic hours for a moderate resort price, though I dont have the schedule that far out yet to know its worth it. I am nervous about the reviews of the dolphin side. Especially if I am suggesting it to other families that dont go as often as we do. I dont mind a little out dated as long as its pretty much clean. But want to make sure its really a good decision. There may be a couple families with 3 per room and the rooms look bigger than Pop too.

Do you really get 17x the points?

Do the buses run early enough for getting there for early entry? We usually arrive 30 minutes before early entry starts.

Vintage WDW Caribbean Beach 1991 Question

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

I found pictures of my first Disney trip back in 1991. I have tons of pictures from Caribbean Beach, where we stayed, and I have a couple questions I’m wondering if anyone can answer. For the first picture, does anyone know where the fountain was and if it’s still there? I guess it may have been somewhere besides the resort, but I don’t think so. If it helps, by looking at our quiet pool pictures I’m pretty sure we stayed in the Martinique area. Now that pool seems to be at the end of the resort before you get to Riviera so it’s possible this doesn’t exist anymore.

For the second picture, my question is about the view. I haven’t spent much time there as an adult beyond visiting Sebastian’s, but I was surprised to see this photo with what looks like a Spaceship Earth view. Is that still visible or has Riviera blocked it?

Attractions & Entertainment Can’t book another tier 1 at HS?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I’m currently at HS and already scanned into my first LL ride. I thought that once you scanned into your first ride the tier system went away, but I’m not allowed to book RR maybe because I have slinky booked later in the day? I’ve been able to book another tier 1 in the past, wondering if this has ever happened to anyone or if I’m missing something. Currently waiting for Villains show or I’d ask customer experience.

Update: tower of terror was down at the beginning of our return window and I got a multi experience pass, so I have to get it fixed or tap in to my next ride. Thank you all!

Special Events & Experiences MNSSHP advice for tomorrow

0 Upvotes

Me, my wife, and our 4 year old will be attending the Halloween party tomorrow night! We are recent annual passholders and wanted to see when would be the best time to show up to MK to get ahead of the rush and take advantage of being able to get to the park early but also not exhausting ourselves so we can enjoy the evening event as much as possible. Also we are really prioritizing the parade, stage show, and fireworks. What would be the best spot and how early would we need to camp out to have a good view for all of those and in which order would be best? My wife and I are planning on taking shifts waiting in our spot while the other takes our little one trick or treating, going on a ride, etc. Any advice is welcome thank you!

Resorts & Accommodations Power Wheelchair Disney Resort?

8 Upvotes

Hi there,this is a long one so thanks in advance.

My family and I will be traveling to Disney World next year with my brother who is a non-ambulatory wheelchair user. This means he cannot walk or stand, and is solely reliant on his chair to move around. We were hoping to book a hotel/resort reservation in the next few weeks, but are still unsure about which resort works best as far as ease of access in the room itself and access to the parks. There’s four of us going, and while we can lift him ourselves in case of emergencies, we would prefer to utilize our hoyer lift. Are there any resorts that have bigger accommodations than your typical 2bdrm roll in shower? Any resorts that really do their best to accommodate travel to the parks?

I’d appreciate any and all advice!

Planning 4 days trip, food suggestions

1 Upvotes

My family of 3 will be going to Disney for the first time in early February. We will have 4 days at the parks with our 2 and a half year old. Should we visit all 4 parks or skip one?

We are also hoping to dine in a couple of restaurants since we are foodies and would consider a character dining experience. Any suggestions?

Food, Drinks, & Dining 9 am Crystal Palace breakfast - yay or nay?

7 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I am taking my son to Disney for the first time (I’ve been but not as an adult) for his 2nd birthday. We are only doing one day at Magic Kingdom, and it is a party day which is fine because he is not a late bedtime kiddo. We have a larger party (6) and when I went to book breakfast at The Crystal Palace it was booked except 9:10 am. We are not staying at a resort. I really wanted to do breakfast there as he LOVES Pooh and I don’t think we will get our money’s worth out of the lunch buffet (nobody really likes those foods, including my son, compared to breakfast). I am looking out for both earlier and later reservations (I.e. 8:15-8:30 or 10-10:30) but wanted everybody’s opinion on a 9 am BF. Is that going to take away opportunity for lower lines when park opens, or will we still have plenty of time at 9:45-10 to hit all the toddler rides? Or with a child that young who loves Pooh is it worth it? I would love your takes on this as people who have taken their young children to Disney before. Thank you!
