    Why Genie+ / Lightning Lane "Stacking" Method?

    Hey all. I've been reading-up here and in other areas about the best ways to use Genie+ Lightning Lanes. (Boy, what a headache...I'm really amazed at the time & difficulty it takes to make the best out of your Disney Park visit. So much for "Ease of Use"). The idea of "stacking" Genie+...

    Disney's Punishment of Honest Media/Reviews

    I think many have a belief that the Walt Disney company is one of still "good" companies out there. And certainly because so many have such fond memories & experiences associated with Disney & the parks. I know I do. And when I learn of something truly contradictory to this belief....it is...

    Chance Parks Open Late in October 2021? (Excluding After Hours Boo Bash)

    Hi all, I've been watching the Park Hours updates on the Disney World site. So far in October 2021, it seems like the latest a park (Magic Kingdom) will be open for general ticket admission is 9:00 PM EST. Would anyone venture an educated guess as to whether the hours might increase for the...

    Need Help Remembering a Ride

    Hi all. It could be that I'm "misremembering", but seem to vaguely remember some scenes from a ride at the Magic Kingdom. I guess it could have been the either the late 1970s or sometime int he 80s decade. This is what I remember: - I'm thinking the ride was in Tomorrowland, where Buzz's ride...

Does anyone know of a way to purchase an Express Pass for Universal Orlando that will code as a Travel charge on a credit card? Undercovertourist doesn't sell Express Passes.

    Fully Immersive Lands...Are They Played Out Already?

    So, Star Wars land aka Galaxy's Edge has been getting criticism for being somewhat "meh", lacking a music soundtrack, lacking a recognized SW environment, etc. Harry Potter's areas at Universal are terrific. But the movies profiled the areas pretty well, Hogwarts and Diagon Alley. Pandora is...

    Fandom and/or Industry Term For "Realistic" Disney Attractions?

    The rides that I connected with as a child and that keep me going back to Disney are the more "realistic" rides/attractions in the park. For example, the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, The Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain, Carousel of Progress, Swiss Family Tree...

    Fastpass + : The Real Purpose?

    Over the years I've read bits & pieces here on the board that Disney's real purpose for Fastpass+ isn't so guests can get on a ride faster than other guests. I've searched the forum and can't find a good explanation of the real purpose of Fastpass+ from Disney's perspective. I seem to remember...

    Oogie Boogie Bash Questions

    The Oogie Boogie Bash is a separate ticked event in September and October. Do guests of the park who don't have Oogie Boogie tickets have to leave the park when the Oogie Boogie Bash event starts? Will these "other" guests not be able to get on rides after the event starts?

    Haunted Mansion Christmas Overlay Dates?

    Hi all. I'm thinking of visiting Disneyland for the first time and I'd love to experience the Haunted Mansion first without the overlay. When does the ride stop running as the normal Haunted Mansion? And when is the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay added? Hopefully the dates for these are...

    Which is the Least Attended Disney Park (Worldwide) ?

    Let's say I had one goal, and one goal alone...attend a Disney theme park with the fewest guests...which park is it? Japan? Paris? Shanghai? Etc. And what time of the year would be the best to experience these lovely "sparse" crowds?

    Best sites for Disney Parks Ride & Background Music?

    Sure, Youtube is great for finding a lot of good Disney park music. But...what websites are dedicated to it? Are there sites that collect the more obscure music? (and I'm not looking for streaming radio stations like Sorcerer's Radio, which is great in it's own right...but you can't find...

    Did the audio/soundscape of Pandora change?

    I spent a good amount of time at Pandora last week. And couldn't wait to get back and post this question here, as it was driving me nuts. I even asked a CM in Pandora, but she kept to her in-character answer (so no answer). I love background music. When I first went to Pandora back in June...

    Epcot Food & Wine Festival = Booze Fest

    I was excited to go to Epcot during the Food & Wine Festival. I like my local festivals where I can grab a beer & some food, like town-day celebration or Oktoberfest. I read about the different opinions of the F&W experience here, but wanted to make my own opinion. And sadly it was not a good...

    MDE Map Issue with Samsung Galaxy / Android

    I noticed an issue with My Disney Experience app on Android. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. The default map is the Magic Kingdom (I think, well at least it is on mine). If you then select a different park, say Epcot and hit "Apply"....nothing happens! The map doesn't move at all from the Magic...

    Unique Music : A Potential Draw To The Parks?

    I was thinking today about the fact that Brian Trasnseau (aka BT Music) composed what is essentially a full and immersive "soundtrack" for Shanghai's Tomorrowland. I always love the background theme music (BTM) at the parks. It's special and is such a necessary part of the fantasy. I would love...

    Uh oh, Disney...Critics Don't Buy Tickets (Star Wars The Last Jedi)

    So, Disney's latest mega-movie is Star Wars The Last Jedi. It will make a lot of money for sure...but will it satisfy Disney? I don't think the reactions to it are what Disney was hoping for. Critics, in their small numbers, seem to view it favorably. While the much larger public does not, if...

They also hinted at a property being tied to this, the classic good guys...
