I also believe you can stack the “Kids Ear Free” offer on this so it is a lot better than I initially thought.

It’s an absolute no brainer on a 6 night stay IF you had planned to stay six nights but will the three/four night people add 2-3 nights just because it’s free? That’s what they’re gambling on here, IMO - and that those two days of spending at the resort will outweigh the discount you get on...

@lentesta @PREMiERdrum looks like we’ve pulled some large (to them anyways) incentive levers with the two free nights in hotels and tickets? Although I guess the room discount on a 6 night stay is 33% when you factor in four nights and the two free nights so this isn’t much better than a...

Ah yes good point my mistake. I thought there were only going to be two of the "in-between" class of ships. Assuming they retire/scrap the Magic and the Wonder at some point that still means they're going from 4 to 9 net ships in less than 10 years so maybe not AS big of a jump as I originally...

I just got off the Dream on Monday and they were alive and well on the final sea day of our five night cruise. They were good, but not the life-changing experience folks talk about on the interwebs. That being said, I completely understand why people are leaning towards the cruise over the...

Ooof. Bad luck for those staying there. Considering those trips are already booked I wonder if Disney will offer any incentives or possible discounts to make up for that for current reservations. It's a pretty big modification to suspend boat service to MK since that's a primary benefit of...

I think you got the quote wrong or DC edited it - see below: the option to skip baggage claim by checking their luggage at the Southwest bag drop area or ticket counter for direct delivery to their resort I take that to mean you check your luggage at your originating airport at either their...

I am certainly not trying to get around the system or take advantage, but it specifically states in the terms that the service member can provide these to immediate family AND friends in the language. Under the "Important Details" section of the 2026 US Military Ticket Discount page it states...

NOW BRING BACK MAGICAL EXPRESS OR WE RIOT

I have a very good family friend who would purchase the $499/year pass for us, as they have no desire to go to WDW themselves, but I don't think that will work will it? It appears the service member has to be there to activate the tickets and must be in the travel party. I've also read that if...

Cool - the same firm that was responsible for the Swan Reserve and the new Disney HQ in NYC. Didn't they also swipe Bob Weiss in the same year?

There is significantly more competition in the furniture and jewelry space than the themed entertainment space. One operates as a part of a true free market where consumers can get roughly the same product from a variety of places and force them to compete. Theme parks do not operate in that...

Frankly, they could trade Asha out for Pocahontas and it would be a win. The number of folks I heard ask why Pocahontas was wearing a purple dress was shocking. Slap Grandmother Willow Tree on that thing and put Meeko and John Smith on the ground and we'd have a WINNER folks!

Josh probably - "Jeff - why does this look so bad? Where's the cast and where are the other floats?" "Well Josh, we were gonna have other floats and more cast but we decided our bonuses and stock buybacks needed to be larger and I really couldn't risk only making 2% less this year" Josh most...

This is the real question. I understand that hoppers are the minority of tickets bought, however without filtering out folks who have multiple gate clicks in a day this isn’t accurate. Also if I leave and come back to the same park does that count as two clicks or one?
