Not necessarily, especially when you look at your total price rather than just the upgrade price. On our recent trip we flew to Orlando on Spirit with the Go Big bundle. The flight down was $134 per person, only $40 more than we would've paid for a JetBlue flight. Then flying home on JetBlue...

Just as long as they don't decide to rope Peoplemover into the same refurb I'll be ok. -Rob

As long as you're not overly choosy on where in Grandstand your room is, I'd say you have a pretty good chance of getting Grandstand as long as both the owner puts it in your reservation and you use Touring Plans to make your room request. After all, Grandstand is 4 of the 11 Standard...

Ever since a horrible experience with a noisy connecting room at Universal's Cabana Bay, at all hotels we now specifically ask for a room that doesn't connect to another room for just this reason. -Rob

And once the battery dies, all tap-to-use functions will work indefinitely. (Room key, park ticket, Lightning Lane, room charge, etc) We still use some of our 1st gen Bands that are like 8-10 years old. -Rob

A friend used it last year. My partner and I have Pre check, my friend did not. He only waited a few minutes longer than we did. -Rob

I've heard about the stooge scare actor. With the storyline they set up for the house I was surprised it wasn't something they brought back for Chupacabra the other year. (A village luring tourists in specifically to kidnap and sacrifice them) That big plaza in the middle just seems like it was...

Doesn't look like you got an answer. These are forced-perspective elements to extend the perceived size of the land, much like the Eiffel Tower originally did in the France pavilion. You can see them in this artwork. And since they're set back a little from the foreground buildings, they'll...

I'll agree with you, but only as far as the *original* Dinoland U.S.A. Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, CTX and Chester & Hester's (just the gift shop). It was all cleverly designed as a singular backstory that worked. Adding Dino-rama spoiled what was an amazing land. The fossil prep lab was...

I've read it's not limited to Disney. Other companies are having issues processing credit card payments, especially online/apps. -Rob

Yes -Rob

In general, the key to upgrading WDW tickets bought at a discount is to use the ticket to enter a park first, and then upgrade it. Doing that "locks in" the current gate price for that ticket. My one caveat is that I haven't upgraded a ticket since 2018 or 2019, so there's a slight chance...

Redoing Toon Lagoon into Wicked would be quite the ironic twist. 😉 -Rob

Wicked: The (Retail) Experience

No need to deal with the shuttle to the CCC. The Alamo/National rental desk has reopened at the Dolphin, so you can just walk over. -Rob
