I think a lot of these stores operate as a brand promotion rather than making huge sales. They have a captive audience who will now go home and potentially buy from the stores online platform. Local malls full of national brand name retailers are essentially extinct.

The article says it’ll be in Lake Buena Vista, which is really just WDW, so that’s confusing.

If I owned the resort then I’d say laptops should stick to the business center. In this case if the guest is paying to stay there then whatever, my issue is there’s certain areas on property becoming WFH hotspots and how do you discourage it. I’m curious what Forbes thinks, as part of their...

That’s my thought too, it takes away from the vacation vibes for me. Connections is another place becoming a WFH hotspot, for me it takes away from the atmosphere and is also annoying for people wanting to sit down to eat and can’t find tables.

Is that adult a paying resort guest? That’s what determines if it’s a problem or not

Yah me neither. For me it also takes away from the vacation vibe when the resort lounge starts to look like a Starbucks full of people on laptops. I’m not sure if it’s a true problem or anyone else really notices. I could also just be a grumpy person that doesn’t like change lol. It’s the same...

I guess if I were paying to stay there I would be annoyed that all the tables in the lounge were taken up by people not staying there. I’ve worked at wdw for almost 20 years, it’s easy to spot the different kinds of guests. If they were all staying there ok fine, but they did not look like it.

Was just at riviera for dinner, walked by the library room and there were 5 people all set up for WFH with laptops, notebooks, snacks etc. If I had to bet, I would say none of them are actually staying there. Will this turn into a problem someday? I’m not sure.

Disappointing news, thanks for the update

The parking at DS is owned/operated by The District, with part of the agreement being that it remains free. And no, just don’t go the week of thanksgiving/xmas/NYE, or book a dining reservation at one of the resorts you want to visit.

Maybe when it gets closer. The current window can’t handle business already and now the pool is doubling in size.

Social media ruining things once again. "Work from home at a Disney resort" etc etc. It’s always a balance of wanting people to be able to see the resorts to access dining and shopping and hopefully as a way to encourage guests to book a room in the future. But locals just bussing themselves in...

Hope this includes a proper pool grill QSR

How much does a new ferry cost compared to new monorails?

Just got back from Disneyland and let me tell you they DO NOT skimp on the AC there, it was such a difference from WDW
