We were at WDW last week of August and felt the parks themselves were quieter than our previous visit August 2022 (although we were there a couple of weeks later this year so likely more schools back etc.) By quieter I mean the walkways were less crowded, less people in restrooms / quick...

Yep, I did this last year and saw lots of other people online did it too. Idk how it links it but it does! Bought the MNSSHP tickets via the US site and they magically appeared in MDE a few hours later despite my resort reservation being via the UK site. Both were in there together no problems...

I was at Disneyland Paris on a one park one day ticket yesterday, haven’t been for three years and first time using Premier Access. The park was busy as expected for a hot Sunday in summer vacation but it wasn't overly crowded. So it felt like there were a lot of people in the park, especially...

You’ve said ‘next year’ a few times in this thread. Am I good to assume that the CM the original poster spoke to mentioning August was incorrect? And therefore those of us with trips August onwards should just expect things to continue as they are now wrt park reservations and hopping?

Anecdotally, our experience is a little different to the other posters who’ve said they’ve never spent a day at Universal or have tried it a couple of times and felt there was something missing compared to Disney. We are from the UK and first brought our children to Orlando when they were small...

I think this is a good idea in theory and I do think resort guests should be priori in order to get some value for paying top dollar. However, we usually stay on-site in deluxe and I don’t think I would pay a further ‘high price point’ for a skip the line package. There will certainly be guests...

I don’t doubt that $5 won’t solve the issue, but I’m still struggling to understand why stopping advanced purchases will, although I know you've said this is just one step they’re taking in the interim. But were there that many people advance purchasing? And is it the case that they’re really...

I get taking away ILL would be a big help with the sticky situation they’re in as it would add desperately needed Genie+ inventory. But on our December trip, I preferred ILL to Genie+ by a long way because it was simpler and a few minutes after 7 am we knew where we stood; whether we had the...

That would still be less than current Genie+ and some of the ILLs, Genie+ + Rise is $30 ish plus tax isn’t it? I know ILL pricing is variable but we were paying $15 for Rise over Christmas. So that price is definitely not going to deter people I wouldn’t have thought

Mine took nearly 6 hours but eventually came in

I had no clue either but some members on a UK forum suggested using a free VPN which I downloaded to my laptop, changed the location on there to US and then loaded up the linked page above on the Disneyworld.com site. It didn’t then default to disneyworld.co.uk and once I logged in I was able to...

I did, but mine were e-tickets. There are quite a few people on a UK forum saying they got the same and that it’s nothing to worry about. Still checking for another email with confirmation every ten minutes though.

For anyone outside the US (I’m in the UK) I had to use a VPN to access the US disneyworld.com site as the international sites don’t have the option to purchase tickets even if you have a resort reservation, it just says to call.

Oh I know it’s how it works, my point was just that we know how stressful it’s potentially going to be this summer trying to score a VQ or ILL to ride it once. Influencers riding ten times in one day just further separates ‘them’ and ‘us.’ I think it would have looked better for Disney and...

I saw an influencer on Instagram this morning who was at the media day talking about how she rode 10 times. I’m not expecting that trying to get on this brand new, eagerly anticipated ride in the first few months with VQ or ILL is going to be all that easy or without stress based on what...
