    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    It wasn't an outright lie. Guests on the internet, and presumably on Disney surveys, said the included tip resulted in poor service. I'm sure those Guests were expecting a large price reduction in the DDP. My memory is Disney was paying servers 15% instead of 18%. The % wasn't applied to the...

    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    My memory is union interpretation of the contract requires automatic tip ( paid by Disney) be based on menu pricing. Dropping the tip avoided negotiations or arbitration. I'm sure complaining guests thought Dropping the tip would lower the cost of DDP. Similar issue with adult beverages. Some...

    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    There was some "truth" to that statement. Server tips were based on the fixed restaurant reimbursement rate not on the menu price of the items ordered. My memory is there was a union issue that had to addressed. Guests claimed servers were being paid for bad service. They wanted to tip based on...

    New Transportation Option to/from MCO for Deluxe Resort Guests

    The original announcement said passengers could only pay for bags at the counter or kiosks at the airport. I was wondering SW changed or if the resort desk could accept payment. The service is basically a remote bag drop. Looking for 1st hand experience

    New Transportation Option to/from MCO for Deluxe Resort Guests

    I don't think the Disney station is intended for MCO to WDW guest. Schlep to terminal C then ride share from DS doesn't make sense. Makes sense for guests taking the train from Miami to Disney. Makes sense as a stop MCO to Tampa. Google maps says current driving time from the Quebec NY border...

    Carousel of Progress refurb?

    Obviously motors can be replaced. The question (rumor maybe just speculation) is that the motors are no longer a stock item. Can Disney order more? Do they have to be manufactured in quantity 1? Do the existing motors have to be overhauled as an alternative. How many times.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Universal wants to spread guests over 3 parks. Putting Zelda in the Lost Continent instead of EPIC makes sense.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    There is already a Wicked display and gift shop in Universal Studios. Guest interest, measured by gift shop sales, could be a factor. Wicked could work as a show or dark ride. It could even work as a FJ type of ride
