This was honestly my first thought. I’m all for some added live entertainment but this one just feels weird to me, at least on video. Also a bit underwhelming for me.
Well the fact that they are offering up three generic quiet pools as the alternative for a 6 month refurb seems to support your idea. No chance I would pay the cash room rates or even dish out my DVC points for Yacht or Beach without Stormalong, particularly during the warmer months.

As much as I want to get off of my phone while in the parks, I’m not feeling great about this. Just not sure how many advance reservations they’re actually going to allow. With FastPass+ it was three which was a nice start, but that can really limit you if you get a later one and have to use all...
This became our main strategy at Disneyland last year and it happened by chance. It was an uncommon rainy few days there and attractions were going down constantly. As soon as one would, I’d book a LL immediately and then receive the bonus any-attraction pass. It was a fun game to play and...
Nice option if you’re rich enough but I can’t help but think that maybe this is why we went from something like Fountain of Nations and got what we did. It’s not bad, it could just be so much more. I guess a fountain would have gotten in the way of selling weddings. 😉
I have two kids and also teach yet have found other times to visit throughout the year. To each their own.
My wife and I went Christmas week before having kids. Christmas Eve and Day were actually enjoyable. Then the 26th on was positively miserable. We went in with reasonable expectations and...
While you’re correct that capacity is the main issue, standby lines would still be more efficient without Lightning Lanes. It’s why standby lines are at least bearable in the morning until ride reservations start piling up. Then CMs have no choice but to clear the Lightning Lane by essentially...
While I don’t completely disagree with you, I can’t see how Disney could go this route after spending the past 25 years convincing us that Fast Pass/Genie+ is the key to having a great day at the parks. Price people out and many will simply stop coming altogether as they’ll fail to see that it...
Don’t worry, they are quickly getting there anyway. They’d rather deal with a handful of complainers like us who will acknowledge the $5 price hike while everyone else just hands over their credit cards. This way the majority is conditioned into both believing that they need to purchase Genie+...
I think that’s a valid point. Universal Express is priced the way it is because there is a much more limited supply. Pay for one night in one of their “deluxe” resorts and it’s included for two days, and the room could be less than Disney’s resorts. What does Disney give you for upwards of...
