    Disney executives staged revolt against Chapek

    I feel like my crazy conspiracy theory came to life. I jokingly said when this started that Chapek agreed to be the fall guy for a ton of money. They wanted him to do all the bad stuff, charge everyone a ton of money, add in genie, take all the covid hits, then he'd be retired and they would...

    Family of 4 but kids don't want to sleep in same bed

    We have done Swan with a pullout, the AOA nemo suites, and the riverside. two teens, male and female, and everyone wants their own space. Swan with a pullout was great, but we also adore the pool area there, and the hotel, in general. they just rolled a bed in for us for like $10-20 extra...

    I don't know- paying for genie+ and hoping you get a few good passes sure feels like gambling to me... ;)

    With all the recent changes, have they impacted you wanting to go to Disney any time soon?

    We went in August and had an ok to good time, not our best ever trip, but still pretty good. Missed characters and restaurants and some other magic, but it was understandable with Covid. Went in November for the run weekend, and had some fun, but the genie just decided for me that I'm not going...

    Swan/Dolphin worth it?

    We use lyft when we stay there for ak or mk, so I don't know about the buses. Transportation to hs and epcot are fantastic. The pool is amazing, the food is better than much of what is on property, the beds are better. It also has a great little quick service coffee shop, that has some great...

    Two people in party with Genie questions/mobile ordering

    My teens will be in the park without us. I'm wondering if one of them puts the genie app on their phone, will it still be connected under my genie? I am just wondering if they could do mobile ordering in the park on the app, but since it's still attached to my account, it can charge the cc...

    What’s POSITIVE about disney recently?

    I really like Toy Story Land/new rides. Genie has one good thing- it seems to work way better than the other old app, and it has mobile ordering and suggestions, looks cleaner, easier to navigate. I don't love the paying for ILL or genie +, but I'm actually liking the app update itself...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    and no extra person added to talk to all day... ;) the one time we did a vip tour, it was...awkward (but I'm not a very good people-person).

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    and not being SURE months ahead, that you will absolutely be getting at least one ride on all the 'BIG/NEW' rides. At the 60 day mark, if I didn't get one ride on everything that mattered, I could cancel my whole trip. (and I also, made sure we got at least 2x the rides that mattered- Disney's...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Exactly. I am just. so. tired. bone tired. exhausted. I have the money. I'm in the zone of income they may be targeting. But I'm just . so. done. So tired of having to make this a hobby.. why? I go to Dublin, or Spain, or Aruba, it isn't this much WORK. Why should I do all this work, for...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    The Uni pass needs no scheduling, which everyone always forgets. Uni pass I can just stroll from one to the next, and enter when I want. It is immensely more relaxing than trying to book things, then book more things. Also, it's included for "free" with a deluxe hotel, which is cheaper than a...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    well, that is truly irritating. if we are all on the same hotel reservation, you'd think it should work like fp+ did, as long as you have a reservation, you should be able to book for length of stay. oh well, I'm glad this is our last trip for a long while, the whole thing is exhausting.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    question- I haven't decided if it's worth it just yet, for a short trip. My family has regular passes that I can upgrade on the app right now. I have an AP. would I have to wait until day of to purchase genie+ for myself?

    California Grill to debut new fixed price three course menu.

    Understandable. But then, just set a limit. I will spend, but not prix fixe. I have eaten 1 dessert in like a year. I just don't do sweets. I will probably spend the same, though- because wine, cocktails, and maybe making a tapas from apps will happen. I can easily spend the same amount, without...

    California Grill to debut new fixed price three course menu.

    when Tusker first started, and it was a bit more adventurous,(before characters). we used to laugh into our elbows at the full grown 6 foot men squatting to pile their plates with nuggets and mac and cheese from the "kids" buffet. I do not think adults ordering mac and cheese at a signature is...

    California Grill to debut new fixed price three course menu.

    nice vegan/vegetarian/plant based option. It's amusing that we now need to/want to go to only high end restaurants, because the plant-based/veg/vegan options everywhere else have gotten less interesting/all gross processed beyond burger stuff. we used to go to the lesser known/lower cost places...
