*sigh* The Coral Reef. Special memories there, always get the same thing. Blackened catfish over cheddar grits with a warm tomato compote.

I went to DCA this weekend after a 4 month hiatus, and I was blown away by all the construction! It's good to see some $$$ being put back into this poor redheaded stepchild of a park.

This topic cracks me up. I thought I was the only one who found the Unfinished Pop Century to be unspeakably creepy! I think I took video footage of it some four years ago and said as such. Hahaha. What I find amusing is that it's been 3.5 years since I've been to WDW at this point, and I remember a...

It's one of my all time favorite restaurants. It's no one thing--I think it's greater than the sum of its parts. The aquarium, the ambience (provided there are no little screamers in there), the tucked-away spot, and the staff have always been great to me. It holds a special place in my heart, thoug...

I almost hate to give it away...but my quiet spot is the area in front of the Coral Reef. Not directly in front of it where the benches are, but in what I believe is technically a smoking area, but I've yet to see people hanging out there having a cigarette. It's tucked away and as of when I was las...

I, too, like the original ears the best, but as far as fancy ears go, it's a toss up between the gold 50th anniversary ones, or my blue and silver light-up ones.

It wasn't as of about two weeks ago. :-/ I was really hoping to see it, since I was there with a visitor all the way from New York! And this weekend my mom and stepdad and little brother will all be out in CA to visit Disney, and I will be disappointed again if it's just Malefecent flailing her arms...

I had such mixed feelings when I read that they were adding new characters into IASW, but when I finally saw it for myself a couple months ago, I really, truly enjoyed it! Very, VERY tastefully done, in my opinion, and I had fun looking for the new additions. And I liked that I did have to look for ...

One of my brother's and my favorite thing to do at DLR is get a Dole Whip or some Bengal Barbecue and go sit in the Tiki Room and eat it. I actually didn't know food was really allowed until a few months ago! We are usually two of the only people in the audience who know all the words to every song-...

I have the super mega deluxe premium-whichever-has-no-blackout-dates-pass. Former CM, first time pass holder. It was a birthday gift to myself, so I was stoked when they announced the free-admission-on-your-birthday promo. I'll definitely be applying that towards my renewal! I live in northern San D...

I've got a pretty good handle on both DLR and WDW. I visited DLR first as a young 'un, moved to the East Coast and spent my formative years visiting WDW and then working there on two internships, and am now living in nearby San Diego for the last 2 years and have been to DLR about 6x since. That sai...

There's a special place in my heart for Chef Mickey's, my first character breakfast at the tender age of 17. It's got such a fun atmosphere and I enjoy any chance to meet Mickey Mouse himself. (Goofy too. He's usually there.) I voted for that, but at an extremely close second I'll put O'Hana because...

I thought I would resurrect this post since it's been almost 3 years since I replied to this poll and quite a bit has changed since then. I've been dating a great guy who has a 2.5 year old daughter. She's smart as a whip and loves getting her Disney fix as much as the next little girl. Living in So...

Actually, I've started doing that in the last couple of visits. I wear my running shoes and special running socks, and there's not a blister to be had anymore!
