Yeah, why build there? You already have all that unused property for DVC. . . at the bottom of Bay Lake.

The last times I went to WDW: 2009, 2012 and 2016. We are going this fall in 2024 and are paying through the nose for the "big experience." Same for those previous trips. But I know being "back" and "paying attention again," I'm coming to terms with the price points and the loss of the little...

As one of those filthy causals who is back on the forums specifically for a trip in October to a Deluxe Resort, the kind who hasn't been to Disney since the Katiebug thread was new. . . well, at least Bob loves me. And $8K sounds like a bargain.

Book your trip when Mercury is in Aquarius?

I tried to rebook and the only room available actually added 800 dollars to my current booking. Every previous trip added some savings. First time I got nothing. That's just. . . wow.

How long does it take to drop on the official Disney website. . . not seeing it there yet? Edit: "Starting June 27th." Yep, I read it but I *didn't* really read it. Answered my own question there. . . :)

*checks price tag of upcoming trip* To be fair, that sounds like a bargain.

My 3 year old loves Evening Extra Magic Hours! Merry Christmas to you, too!

What are we measuring? It depends on your perspective. 1. What is a more typical experience for the average WDW guest? Living in central Florida and have an annual pass, or living anywhere else in the world that isn't central Florida and saving your pennies for that family vacation? Yes, I am...

I can see how this is depressing for annual passholders, who visit several times a year (if not more so). I have read this thread, and understand why this is a concern for you and yours. But from my perspective (as the silent majority), FP+ is the best news I've ever heard, especially if your...

"another walkway opens up." Cool. . . I wasn't certain they'd have this open at all, what with the road needed for construction equipment, etc. For some reason, this walkway being closed bothered me, so I'm really glad it's open. On our first day, I wanted to to go right from Dumbo to Little...

Well, okay then. I guess some people are scared of clowns. On the other hand, now you have a replacement for the witch in SWSA. So, you know. . . win win.

Sorry, but I happen to believe that this is the element that Storybook Circus was missing. . . roaming live entertainment is perfect for that area. I'm hoping it takes on the feel of the Boardwalk.

The problem with WDW is that you would have to clear it out first. Since it's a draw for tourism, there would be a disproportionate number of people there during the start of the apocalypse. For me, one of the first rules would be to stay away from high population dense areas. So I'd hide at...
