I-Ride Trolly

I have seen many discussions about the changes. Most being upset about the gratuity no longer being included.

I still see a value in the DDP, if the family is average to big eaters. There is no way you can eat at Disney for such a low pp cost, not even at McDonalds. Not to mention being able to eat at places that you wouldn’t ordinarallyeat at, due to the cost. If your family tends to eat like a bird. Then DDP, even with gratuities included is not for you.

The fire department that serves Walt Disney World, Reedy Creek, is preparing to replace its first fire station, which serves the Magic Kingdom and the resorts that surround it, with a new one designed and built with Bahamian architecture.

Both stations are on a public but little-used road that swings around behind the Magic Kingdom, connecting the Contemporary Resort with the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The switch could come as early as this weekend, if a few construction details are finished in time.
