I just came back from a quick trip last night. COVID is definitely "gone" with the exception of buses and monorails. It is starting to feel normal again. Still no character greetings but I bet that will change soon. We are definitely getting there. The crowds are enormous but I think that's due...
Ignoring the popcorn bucket craze themselves, does anyone know if Figment is part of the "new EPCOT". The last time I went on it, it was a hot day and really enjoyed the short wait in the AC and it occurred to use, that the ride really could use a refurbishment and an upgrade. I do think...
I’m here now and have been since 12/27. If you want to wake up early and get to the park for the extra hour, you absolutely don’t need Genie+. The extra hour prior to park opening is definitely a perk. However my family doesn’t want to wake up and get to the park early so I’ve paid for Genie+...
I'm heading there Monday (December 27) and I have to be blunt, this is the first time in years that I am concerned that it won't be as great as year's past. We've been going this week for the past 6 years so I know it's going to be tough but without ride reservations, COVID protocols still in...
I think this is a nice touch. However, it does require carrying extra batteries which I do already. I lean towards the magic bands because they are convenient and fun to wear.
I agree with your comments. Had this just been the elimination of the Magic Mystery Tour, it wouldnt have been as bad but when taken as a whole, it definitely calls into question, what are the benefits of staying at a Disney Hotel? I have DVC at Bay Lake, ignoring that I'm paid up (yes thats a...
Building now is actually a brilliant move considering that when it is finished, hopefully we are back to being normalish. I also think the more beautiful hotels that are near disneyworld the better it will be for we believers in Disney hotel magic. Eventually, Disney will have to start returning...
Ooooh pretty shiny new toys! Can't wait. Epcot's front of the park is pretty bad right now (construction, walls, and occasionally a swamp gas smell) so bringing anything new and shiny to the Worlds is awesome.
Sorry I'm a little late to the party on this thread. To be blunt, the only part of the Magical Express that was magical was the luggage service. For years, we joked that it was the Magical Mystery Tour because you never knew how long you'd wait for a bus and how many stops it would make. I...
I was in MK on January 4. I saw NO ONE without masks on unless they were eating or drinking. It was definitely more crowded than I thought it would have been, definitely more crowded than on 12/31 when we were there. The waits were longer than 12/31 but manageable. We were only there from about...
I just got back on Monday. I went from 12/28 - 1/4. We usually go this time of year plus either in the spring or fall. Yes there is less value --> no fireworks, parades, character greetings but I still love the rides. I also love the restaurants and the snacks. I can go elsewhere for vacation...
