I'll bet in the immediate future we'll see a lot of those things roped off, or have a CM standing by. The interactive cues drove me nuts, do you wait? do you pass and feel like a jerk?
If you're thinking "let anyone in" the issue becomes people off site who drive up to the parking lot. They pay to park, go to bag check and are told "park's full" so then will Disney have a bunch exiting the park, trying to get parking fee refunded... So now they have to stop people before they...
I voted #1 just because people buying a "resort/ticket" package should get in before someone staying at an "off site" hotel. This is very similar to phased closing where resort guests get in and off site would be turned away. You can always stay at a value to guarantee admission if it's a...
Nope, nothing, noway, nohow, never, ever..... on nothing. My feet never touch the ground bare. (except for pool or beach - even then I'll wear swim shoes depending upon condition of beach) I get hives watching people at an airport in flip flops take them off and walk around through security...
I tend to run into old threads searching for some new info. I also like to read how the thread morphed over time. Many times an old thread takes a serious left turn and no longer responds to the initial inquiry. But I've also been guilty of not looking at a date before responding.
The first time we took our kids they were 2.5 and 4. We only had an umbrella stroller (quick easy to fold) and as an additional accessory - we brought my parents! They were fantastic, took the tired kids back to the room, DH and I could tour later into the night. Worked out great for us. Back...
I've enjoyed staying at both, but for an anniversary I'd give the nod to Riverside. The mansions are romantic as well as the grounds. Love the Princess and Frog!!!!
Honestly, I find HS to have ho-hum sit-down restaurants. Yes great theme: sci-fi, but overall nothing outstanding. I do love 50's Prime Time: again IF you get a fab server (on our last visit there my friend had her elbow on the table and Uncle caught her, she had to stand with her nose holding...
Totally changed my June 1st trip to a late August. Got a better deal on the room with the Sun/fun package. IMO it's far better to err on the side of caution, I just think June will be a cluster.
"Disney is for kids" - well I'm an adult and I pay for the trip and yes I like to have an adult drink.
"I like the zoo at Disney World" - .:banghead:
"We're going on Spring Break - no we didn't make reservations, we're just going to show up" - well have fun with that!
Value: Pop but Love AOA suites more (overall I can't love values because of the large groups that overwhelm them)
Mod: POR love the theme
Deluxe: Boardwalk (for proximity to Epcot) Treehouse villas (to get away from it all)
I know this is odd but I really don't love the fireworks. I can't get excited about standing in a crowd, having my view blocked by a doofus with a GIANT Ipad he's hold up to film fireworks (why? just why? there's better pro videos all over the place!) We always try to get out of the parks well...
My list of unpopular stuff:
- Hate having to get FP to see a character, loved when characters roamed free (but that was ages ago when people had manners...)
- I think it's really crappy that Disney started the "good neighbor" hotel stuff - giving them 60+ is BS. No wonder onsite people can't...
