More Information on Disney's Touch-To-Pay System


Earlier it was reported that the new Next-Gen payment system was going to be added to some of Epcot's Quick Service Restaurants this week. Well, now we have some more new official information regarding this new Touch-To-Pay system.

  • First of all, this new Next-Gen addition has become available in more places starting from today, December 11, 2012. You can now use this system at the following locations (wherever Key to the World cards are accepted today) Epcot, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Resort and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Resort (except for laundry, valet and arcade locations in resorts).
  • For now, the new devices can only be used by Guests staying at any of the aforementioned Walt Disney World Resort hotel.
  • These devices also allow entry of a PIN, which can be set up during the check-in process. This PIN will be required for purchases of $50 or more. If for any reason you cannot remember your PIN, you should go to Front Desk in person and present a valid photo ID to obtain assistance in resetting and changing the PIN.
  • What if you happen to lose your Key to the World (your room key/charging card)? In that case, you should immediately report it report it to the Front Desk or Guest Relations as soon as possible so that your card can be deactivated right away.
We are one more step closer to the full introduction of the Next-Generation Project. More on this coming soon.

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...
