    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I haven’t been since before pandemic. I had it down to a T, with Fastpass+ and Magical Express. Regretting that my husband never got to experience any of the ease of touring then. We had always stayed off site when he went. Then for 13 years in a row we did Value resort (mostly Pop) & took...

    What should NOT have been replaced?

    This may not fall in the “replaced” category, but they probably should have left Mickey & Minnie’s country homes in Toontown Fair alone. Kids loved those. We as jaded adults were not as enthralled, but the kids were absolutely fascinated. They could have moved them, not gotten rid of them all...

    What's the best WDW secret you know?

    This thread is pretty old, but popped up in my email today, so here goes. The whole water thing is such a pet peeve of mine. Drink the free cups of ice water, for heaven sakes! There are great phone charging plugs located around the parks. A favorite spot is by tables inside Gaston’s Tavern...

    Smoking ban at Disneyland and Disney World thoughts..

    We were in line to meet Duffy bear many years ago & two grown men behind us were drunk & making obnoxious comments. My daughter & her friend were probably pre-teens at the time. That is where I draw the line. This was broad daylight. Probably tequila related, bc as I recall the little gazebo...

    Smoking ban at Disneyland and Disney World thoughts..

    Frankly, I wish they would ban alcohol too. The smokers in their smoking areas did not bother me, although it seemed like one area was along the back path between Space Mountain and near kiddie area. Or at least that was where people made it. The drinking can be an issue. People get really...

    New Vera Bradley Disney Pattern July 2021

    I just posted a long winded thread on here, but then when I went to sign on, could not remember my password. So in the interim it may or may not have been lost. Anyway, I was so excited I wanted to hear others thoughts and if y’all purchased any of the new stuff?! It is now available in the...

    My last photo from my last trip...care to send yours?

    I’m in quarantine and away from home and my Disney pics, but I am so loving this post. Thanks to all who contributed! I think I am going on my 3rd year without my beloved Disney Trip. I went every year from the time my youngest visited for the first time at age 5 (2007). It became our thing...

    Smoking ban at Disneyland and Disney World thoughts..

    Oh yes, & I get that the post is about doing away with the smoking areas and that they’ve banned smoking all together (which I think is the way to go), but in remembering my brother who died at 65 (he drank & smoked), I just realized Walt Disney died of lung cancer at 65. I think that says it...

    Smoking ban at Disneyland and Disney World thoughts..

    First of all vaping is just plain stupid & IMO says something about the people doing it, mainly kids. Smoking. Jeez. People still smoke??? Again, stupid or sadly addicts that cannot kick the highly addictive habit. I had a brother like that. He had a stroke and died when he was 65. No...

    Voyage of the Little Mermaid is done, won't reopen with the parks.

    This show was always surprisingly good and seemed to stand the test of time. Also, always a nice break from the heat. Was it shortened at all? I know so many of the shows have been. HS is not a top park for me.

    WDW Reopening Estimates

    I vote for June, but I think it is very Wishful thinking. Hoping our Wishes have some power. My brother just messaged me this morning that Germany has cancelled this year’s Oktoberfest. That does not bode well for how long this nightmare will last. I am dreaming of Disney these days. What I...

    Everyone is forgetting something

    On a dark note:Did y’all see the videos of the Rats in New Orleans???! Not Mickey Mouse, but tough street rats!! Something to do with quarantine and shutting down restaurants in New Orleans. They (the street rats) had gotten very brazen and were even showing themselves in the middle of the...
