And making announcement about traveling to Berlin might cause a lot of confusion as well, there seem to be plenty of Berlins in the USA. <<It was suppose to say " Nobody understands me when I post in English either.

I'll take bets on how long you can hold your self-control before you start lashing out and disappear ... so let's get it on ... Anyway, I've stayed at every non-DVC (and some DVC too) WDW resorts for hundreds of nights in my life and a few times at Royal Pacific too. <<Royal Pacific isn't what you say it is - and is extremely overpriced for it's "value".>> That's very debatable, but you're entitled to that opinion. I find it to be a much classier, higher-end Polynesian themed resort. Both the team members and the guests also seemed noticably more upscale than the Poly. And as a matter of comparing, I've never paid more than $150 to stay at RP. The least expensive room I had at the Poly was well over $200 and I haven't stayed there in well over 7-8 years now. <<They charge $15.00 per day for parking-Disney doesn't.>> Big deal. Disney charges for everything else. <<The so-called fire ceramony involved Home Depot tiki torches.>> Really, so they shop where Phil Holmes picks up stuff for the MK. I didn't know that. <<Royal Pacific has loud nighttime pool parties for kids (w/movies played on floating movie screens.>> I saw a party. With a handful of well-behaved kids watching one of the old Batman films. Adults seemed to be enjoying themselves too. <<Your room RATTLES everytime the Hulk roars by.>> This may be true to some extent. I seem to recall hearing it the first time I stayed there (for all of $99) but my room was very close to IOA. <<And as an aside... There is NO WAY you paid less than $20.00 for a meal @ Trocph chop (or however they spell it) when there Scallop App is $19.00.>> You should never tell people what they paid for meals you weren't there for .. or when you can't even spell the name of the place. I had an amazing chicken dinner for $19. An entree. With a $8.50 salad appetizer. Entrees started at $16 ... and most were under $25. Only a beef entree was even in Disney's ballpark, but still less by about $4-5. <<Stop the Disney Bashing you bitter person.>> When Disney gives me reason to stop, then I will. You and I BOTH know WDW isn't close to what it once was or should be. Take the bitter pill and wake up to reality ... pixie dust can cause heart disease, glaucoma, gastric distress and erectile dysfunction.

Very, very good to have your wit, charm and intel... um ... wit and charm back in the LP.

It has been a Lauderdale institution way before Disney came to FLA. I celebrated my Spirited 21st B-Day there ... waaaay too many moons ago!

I think 3disneylocations should get talking points on how to stay around here from my old pal Dis-Phillip (who I hope hasn't been hit by a Disney bus!)

Just more Walmarting ... more homogenizing. It would be awful to actually have locations that aren't just different-themed versions of the same thing.

And PS (you P ant) your words will not drive me from this site, your words brought me to this site soooo... Game on! I am plopped on my couch listening to Jacques Brel (@ this moment - Jacque - kinda fits... Listen!). LOL! IMOH. ABC. LMNOP....

It was really quite tame. Plus he didn't say anything about hating you at all. Very disappointing indeed.
