    Toddlers first visit

    We've taken our kiddo at several times and there are lots of great tips in this thread. One I haven't seen to limit your dinner reservations if at all possible. I know Disney wants you to plan everything to the nth degree, but you never know when your kid will konk out from exhaustion. We've...

    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    I doubt they straight repainted the road signs. They should have retro reflective sheeting on them to increase night visibility. Paint would eliminate that.

    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    Yeah, the arrows for lanes are pretty confusing compared to standard designs, but the old ones were pretty similar. My money is on this being a change for color, not an actual upgrade. I'm thinking the signs (and their support structures) would have to be up sized to accommodate a true upgrade.

    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    The updated signs don't really mesh with sign design and layout standards any more than the originals did. Not that they're wrong or illegal, just aren't standard.

    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    I'm surprised they're using something based on Highway Gothic. Clearview font has been standard around me for almost 10 years.

    News Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2021 Earnings Results Webcast

    I think @Sandurz has it right. Just got back from an extended trip and chatting with some people in line it seemed to be something they were doing for a day or two, not their entire stay. Honestly, I liked it, but mostly because it didn't negatively impact our trip like fp+ used to. We didn't...

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    True, unless they're doing the evening magic hours (or whatever they call them now). We usually post up at Italy and enjoy a leisurely walk to the IG listening to tapas try and other post fireworks music. A leisurely walk after Harmonious, with its post show music, just feels weird.

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    I got my chance to watch the show just last night. While I had my issues with the barges during the day, I went radio silent on the show so I could watch it without much bias. Having now seen it, I have to say your analysis is spot on. While the technology used was impressive, the show itself...

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    According to cannon, it only rotates for outgoing wormholes. 🤣 Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Construction between Contemporary and TTC

    Yep that's why you require dynamic pile testing and restrikes.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Ive lived pretty close to the turnpike too, and I'm in the industry. Polical scandals don't change the age of the road, the terrain it was built on, the weather it is subjected to, or the traffic it gets. I'd rather build roads anywhere but PA because of those combined issues.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Here's a thought, maybe they did think of it, but was determined to be too expensive and time consuming to do something else. It is ultimately our tax dollars that build the roads. They could have widened the road to handle 4 lanes in each direction (but then you have to widen every bridge and...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    I've got to provide some context on this because while Penndot and the PA Turnpike are far from perfect, there's a combination of issues that make maintaining their road difficult. Between the number of bridges, the age of the roads, the amount of truck traffic, and the freeze-thaw cycle they...

    Help with Magical Express Reservations

    Right now I'd recommend calling. I used the online system ~ 2months in advance of our March trip. Received a confirmation email they received the request and were experiencing delays. Didn't actually get the email that the ride was booked until the second day of our trip! Fortunately I called...

    News Disney MagicMobile Service coming soon beginning with Apple devices

    Great to hear. Now I just have to hope they eventually expand to Fitbit. As it stands, attaching the magic band puck to my watch is still more convenient. Stinks that I'll have to buy a new one every 2 years to retain ride photos, but maybe they'll get it added to all smart watch systems...
