Mizner Lounge anyone?

Has anyone ever had a drink at Mizner Lounge at GF? We're always looking for quiet, non-children places to hang out. We've enjoyed Victoria Falls Lounge, as well as the bar at The Wave. We never noticed Mizner up on the second floor, and stumbled upon a mention of it online. Can anyone offer some in...

Re: Resort Hotel Drinking Mugs

I don't think the point of the post was to rehash the argument about "free" or "not free" soda; I think the OP is curious as to the implementation of the new system. I'm guessing it hasn't been done yet?

Has anyone used the Best Friends facility yet?

Just wondering if anyone has used their service yet. And if so, how do you feel about the $37 daily fee? Is it worth it? Do you trust them? (Too many issues in my local area with Best Friends to EVER trust them.)

Re: What ride/attraction won't you ride?

HISTA - unless I need to take a nap.
Stitch's Great Smell-fest - unless I'm daydreaming about being 6 or 7 years old
The Great Movie Ride - never, no how, no way

(OK, I haven't had my coffee yet, so I'm still cranky this morning)

Sunday was a day trip to see Mt Fuji (and not aware at the time that we would be that close to Fuji-Q Highl...

Re: Price Increases Since 1982

Good points. Remember, an unsold ticket is nothing more than that - an unsold ticket. There is no material cost to support that unsold ticket. On the other hand, an empty room is very significant. Heads in beds is the key metric. An empty room must still be maintained - plenty of fixed costs, plus l...

Re: Considering Tokyo trip - suggestions?

I used my American cards, not a problem at all. Though, on one of them I forgot to tell the bank in advance, so it didn't go through - security and all. The fun part of that, the clerk did not happen to speak English (many young people do, as I've seen elsewhere, especially Europe). But there is a t...

Hey Esmerelda - it's been too long since I visited the forums, so sorry for the delay. But I'll have a trip report for sure. When are you planning on going?

Re: Pin Trading in Tokyo?

There is NO pin trading in Tokyo Parks. It was removed a while ago after it got out of hand, or so I heard. When we were there in April, we were able to find pins to buy, but certainly not to trade. Though there are not as many places to buy pins as you see here in the States.

Re: Price Increases Since 1982

There are numerous ways an economist can play with this chart to fit either argument. It is interesting to see that the price in "1982 Dollars" has been consistent with inflation. However, the other side is also quite intriguing. I will say that this is something that would be interesting...

Re: Price Increases Since 1982

Thanks Amy, I caught that as soon as I loaded it. There are many ways to interpret this. And I'm not one to complain about price increases - if I don't like it, I won't go. And frankly, it is a business, and if they can raise prices, they should. If guest per capita in park spend goes down as a resu...
