Did you get one last ride in? And are you excited for the next version?

Personally, I am happy for this next iteration, even though I am a big fan of Test Track. I never got to ride on World of Motion, so even a ride inspired by it sounds nice to me.

EDIT: Wow, thanks to everyone for all the input! Looks like it's very much a YMMV thing, so we decided the only way to know for sure is to try them. We've ordered a couple of different inexpensive models and will try them out along with our cooling towels. Thanks again!

Not a post about Disney World per se, but about combatting the heat . . . we're off to WDW in about a week, and I was wondering if a neck fan is a good investment. Last time we were there I got one of those spray fan bottles but I found it cumbersome to lug around. Does anyone here use a neck fan? What about the ones that actually make the air colder as well as just blowing air? Are they secure on rides or do you take it off? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

At some point in time, probably around 10 years ago, the pool bars for at least a couple of resorts had this Orange Julius type of drink. (Like at Fort Wilderness Lodge and maybe Port Orleans or some of the others also had it). It was sort of like the Lava Smoothie in the sense that it was a smoothie type thing, and it was fruity and non-alcoholic, though it was an orange type drink instead of Raspberry, pineapple, and coconut like the Lave Smoothie.

However at some point they removed the drink off the menu and just left the Lava Smoothie. My dad really liked this drink and it was one of his favorite things he had at Disney. Does anyone remember this drink, and if so, does anyone know what they used to make it?

Traveling with boyfriend who has anxiety in large groups - we always skip fireworks because he can’t handle the crowd without a panic attack.

Wanted to see what was best value…. He’d be fine watching in the reserved area too, since it’s more spread/reserved.

I have been hearing a lot of negative stuff from multiples sources, with the best reviews saying mediocre at best. My wife had been really eager to go, we used Mouse Watcher with success, and she is a huge Stitch fan. Now I hear the character experience is usually limited and food ranges from inedible to ok.

Is it worth going once to say we tried? Sounds like a 70% chance of being very disappointed and 30% just ok experience. Or is it so bad we should just cancel and do something else?

Edit: for breakfast

Just stumbled upon this, brought a smile to my face!
