    Trip Report Two broke guys & a dog (for the last time.) completed

    No, I’m not mad at Disney. We’ll be back (in fact, it can’t be soon enough.) But this turned out to be our last trip together as a family. Who: Brian (R) Tony (L) and Kylie. When: May, 2023. Can’t tease this, so I’ll just come out with it. We’ve posted TRs over the years under the “Two broke...

    Disney to pay 9.5 million in class action Magic Key case

    https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-09-09/disney-agrees-to-9-5-million-preliminary-settlement-in-magic-key-lawsuit IMO, the amount in the preliminary agreement is not enough. Each ticket buyer will receive about $67. I think they should get at least a third to a half of their Magic...

    app dead after latest iphone update.

    Hi, Steve. I recently ran the newest iphone update on my phone, as well as individual app updates. Strangely, when it came back up, my WDWMAGIC app had moved to the last page, which is not where it had been before. When I click on it, it just kind of blinks as if it's trying to open, but it...

    Trip Report 2 Broke Guys - on a boat! 😃

    Been debating when to post this. Some of you are already aware of our upcoming trip. (First cruise ever!) What came in the mail today inspired me to get started on this pre-TR: My very first passport. Note there is only one. Currently we are joking that I’m going alone because Brian’s got...

    The one about money and stuff

    So far, I have paid for everything in Chase Visa Disney Rewards. The cruise is paid in full. I pre-purchased some gifts for the stateroom (champagne, etc.) So far, so good. I would like to pay for everything else on the cruise with rewards, not with a credit card. The easiest would be: can...

    COVID souvenirs

    I've been reading the DCL Cruise Line community page on FB. The consensus seems to be: 1. Other than employees, anecdotally, 5-10% of guests are wearing masks. 2. Anecdotally, after the cruise, 100-200 people in their FB groups are testing positive for COVID (that they know of.) Cue the...

    Rumor - Depp back as Sparrow?

    Putting this firmly in the rumor category because the New York Post is notoriously unreliable, but here you go: https://www.local10.com/entertainment/2022/06/27/disney-reportedly-offering-johnny-depp-massive-deal-to-reprise-role-of-captain-jack-sparrow/?outputType=amp

    2 newbie questions Re: photos and port day…

    Two newbie questions, hoping you all can save me some time on hold 😆😆 1. If you buy the $140 photo book (which apparently holds up to 35 pics) do you also have to purchase the photo package $200 separately? 2. On Castaway Cay day, do you have to disembark really early? Or can you leisurely...

    Ground Transportation/parking options? (Miami/general)

    I could have sworn I saw somewhere you can book your ground transportation through DCL. My travel agent didn't have any info on that, but offered a private company. The reason it's important is I assume if we book something through DCL, I can use my Disney Rewards points(?) to pay for it, so...

    What would be your splurge merch purchase if money was (sort of) no object?

    I thought this might be a fun "fantasy-ish" discussion, low stakes, no reason to have arguments LOL. We are heading up for a few nights. When we wake up in our Fort Wilderness cabin on Tuesday, I will be 50 years old (and then we have to drive right home because someone other than myself has...

    Trip Report 2 Broke Guys & A Dog get Ft Wilderness Cabin Fever (but not COVID-19!)

    Yes, yes, it's been awhile. Yes, I'm still sitting on all of our 2019 trip reports. (Great stuff happened - take my word for it!) It will be fun to write those (eventually) because they are from a world before this world we couldn't have imagined at the time - so many WDWmagic meet & greets...

    Did Disney/Pixar steal this woman’s art?

    Honestly, just pay the lady. What’s so hard? I’m sure she would have been thrilled with a little cash and a credit. Now she’s suing. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/thr-esq/disney-sued-by-artist-unicorn-adorned-van-pixars-onward-1274131

    Can't use mobile app at all this morning.

    I was using the app on my phone until very late last night with no issues. This morning, I couldn't read one single response on the forums. Every time I clicked to go to the Chit Chat thread, the page would reload. I'm using an iphone 7. Fortunately, it's status quo on the laptop, so I...

    Understanding WDW “locals”

    (I’ll leave DL up to someone else.) What I’m doing here is basically pulling an @eliza61nyc: I’m taking an offshoot of another thread that deserves its own thread. This comes up often: folks malign or misrepresent “the locals” and “the locals” attempt to correct misperceptions. It can easily...

    New FP rules? We booked FP #1 and FP #2 in two different parks, same day

    I don't know if I missed an announcement. Yesterday we had booked only one FP - Slinky Dog Dash at HS. After using it, we left the park. In the evening, I was able to book our second FP at Buzz Lightyear in MK, and could have booked more but didn't. Those were the only two FP's we made for...

    Oh, no! It’s Mr. Bill! Or a gingerbread man troll at CBR.

    What’s that at the end of the walking path under the bridge? He didn’t charge a toll or ask a riddle. But he’s a little creepy in person! We were cracking up! And yes, he is two-faced (sided) and his brother is at the other end. Maybe they could spring for a pirate statue or a nice Mickey...
