If I had to do it again, besides choosing the apartment near Disney Springs, I would also get the Disney Pirate Annual Pass, rather than the Disney Pixie Annual Pass, because it will allow me to go on the weekends, which turns out to be often less crowded. It costs double, so I didn't get it...

I spent a year at Disney World! I've been going to Disney World for over a decade. During that time, I had to endure 14 hours of traveling one way, and it never seemed to be enough - no matter how long I stayed, I always wished it was longer. So last year, I decided to do what I always wanted...

I have been trying to get the BG since the AP preview a month ago and never succeeded. Finally, I got BG 55 this morning. Never showed any wait time estimate, so I calculated that it will be ready around 12:30, took the kids out of school and left at 11:30, getting inside MK at 12:40, when it...

That is so expensive to purposefully destroy Splash Mountain. Who knows, maybe some day they will spend another $142M and put Splash Mountain back.

Your CM is wrong. Here is what the internet says:

I forgot to mention, the reason I believe Tiana's change from VQ to "Lightning Lane Multi Pass" will happen when LLMP launches on July 24 is because Tiana is listed in LLMP's ride options: So if Tiana is going to be LLMP on July 24, then it probably won't be VQ, right? Because you notice that...

I believe that the virtual queue for Tiana will be gone on July 24 because that's the day the Genie+ will be kicked out by the new "Lightning Lane Multi Pass" and "Lightning Lane Single Pass." That is, the paid fastpass and the extra paid fastpass. I have nothing to back this up, it's just...

Awesome, first boat! I am enjoying your experience vicariously.

Good for you! I got BG 2, had to cancel it because kids can't get up that early.

Wonder why it lasted 14 mins today but only a second the days before. Suppose they are portioning more slots for the 1pm drop? More confidence in the ride's reliability? In any case, it is a good sign.

That's what I was hoping for, that the track/ride itself gets completely refurbished. Did Disney do that, or simply change the theme/animatronics from Splash to Tiana?

Yeah, yesterday went pretty good, , ran almost all day, the afternoon BG drop lasting a few minutes, even. More like Splash used to be. If this trend continues, things will go back to normal in no time.

VQ for an unreliable ride is enough to give me an anxiety attack.

I am a local AP. I live 4 miles, 10 minutes to the parks, so I go nearly every day. I don't have to spend on hotel or food. I didn't get to ride due to missing out on MK reservations, but I've made more MK reservations for after 28th, when reservations are all open. I am getting on that ride...

How long was it down today? Every time in the afternoon I checked, it was not boarding. Waiting to see your stats.
