The automatic reservation thing seems like a good plan at least. Can you imagine buying a ticket and not getting a reservation? But personally, we are very value conscious, were last there in 2017, went on the cheap, had a good time, but left feeling like the value we had previously...

I know it doesn't really matter, but at least the "safety chains" are wire rope with crimped thimbles. Much better both in safety and in appearance than actual chains would be. And since I'm now in the thread, I'll say that I love Spaceship Earth and I would not want anything to ruin it's...

Good to see that @photoflight still is around.

I don't remember ever before seeing a storm take a path like this one has.

I think I would consider Tom Sawyer an IP already myself.

It used to be something like this: if Disney knows EXACTLY how much you paid for the ticket that is all you will get. If you bought through a discount broker, Disney may know what the broker paid, but does not know how much YOU paid. As a result they will give you the benefit of the doubt and...
