    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    This isn't going to impact the general public who visit the place once a decade or lifetime. Most of us here have a sensitivity to the historical decrease in service/ increase in price over the last two decades. Of course, that's not going to stop most people here from doling out cash. I...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    I can't imagine the airport or airlines are overly happy about this. Both stand to lose customers with such a decision.

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    This. As a kid, we went to Universal and Seaworld one time over 20-something years mostly because we flew down every time and Ubers weren't a thing. Now that I have my own kids, we split the vacation between Disney and one of these parks. In addition, if I have my car, I go off-campus at...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    Just another reason for us to drive down and stay in an AirBnB...and another excuse for me to go off-campus when we aren't at the parks. What is a realistic price to Uber from MCO to resorts? That's an easy 30 minute drive.

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Easy choice for Disney. Probably costs peanuts to re-theme a ride while in-turn being able to market the park as containing a brand new ride. However, it's just another example of pandering to this movement. The movie isn't a franchise and performed poorly at the box office. It also doesn't...

    News Disney will be ending complimentary MagicBand distribution to Disney Resort hotel guests and moving to smart devices

    I don't know what your point is. My point is, it takes forever just to get through the front gates. This digital initiative is only going to slow that down.

    News Disney will be ending complimentary MagicBand distribution to Disney Resort hotel guests and moving to smart devices

    Leave it to Disney to screw up something that wasn't broken. Now Disney has to become a tech support hub when guest's phones aren't working properly? Give me a break.

    Dining with characters is done

    Bon Voyage Breakfast for 2 adults and 2 kids was like $170. I have no problem paying such money for unlimited food, booze and a show. I can appreciate the production value of Hoop-Dee or the Luau. But four characters walking around breakfast tables, I can't get my wallet out at that level.

    Dining with characters is done

    I hope this DOES happen and have been quite adamant about this stance for the longest time. Disney gets away with these prices because people like yourself will simply pay them without recourse. It sucks for people like me who like going to Disney but won't tolerate an absolute gouging on...

    News New Park Hours...

    I mean, Disney has been doing this for decades and people keep showing up! I remember MK being routinely open until 12 am and all rides were available for EMH. Now, I'm chastised on this board for complaining about the good old days. How is the current situation any different?!

    LOL, seriously? The one thing I've realized about the Disney consumer is there is no logic behind their insanity.

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    I don't live in a vacuum, I know Disney is a business...but I think this will be a mistake. Companies don't care about customer's health, they only want to give the impression they do. On the flip side, I can totally see Disney limiting admissions to 50% while rebranding passes with a 175%...

    Would you visit Walt Disney World with these health-based operational restrictions in place?

    TL;DR....Does social distancing/ advance reservations mean they are going to restrict admission numbers? I'm curious to see how they handle locals with APs, vacationing members with APs and vacation members with regular park tickets. Hard pill to swallow to ask non-AP vacationers to pay the...

    How much of Disney World has to be open for you to go?

    Heh, I think we are a LONG way off from that. The CDC is never going to put itself out there like that unless this thing is completely eradicated.

    WDW Reopening Estimates

    Again, I don't know why my feelings about my personal safety are being brought into this discussion.... But Disney is a destination vacation spot, not a regional park! Disney can't ask visitors to invest time, top dollar and effort into planning a vacation and then unceremoniously close the...
