    RnRc Retheme?

    I was *that mom* who carefully planned out adorable coordinating outfits for our family last trip and nothing got even close to the attention of our random powerline t-shirt. The nostalgia is very strong with a certain age group. Personally I would love to see Electric Mayhem in this space.

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    "How will we explain this to the children?" was also a major argument people had when Disney made their rules for costuming/appearance gender neutral and allowed tattoos, etc. The reality is that we ALL will have to explain things to our children that make us uncomfortable. That is part of...

    MDE/Magic Band/Room Assignments question

    Thank you. I hope you're right. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that would be a big problem once we got there. None of us have been since 2007 so this part is all new to us!

    News Disney plans to include a black Santa Claus at Walt Disney World this year as the company continues its diversity and inclusion program

    Do these look like the cheekbones of a man whose tummy shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly?

    MDE/Magic Band/Room Assignments question

    I am sure you guys are correct about that (and I pushed back a little when I got that answer), but the policy from the service we used is that the lead guest cannot be changed. It's in the contract we signed so I'm not going to die on that hill.

    MDE/Magic Band/Room Assignments question

    We have kind of an odd situation and am looking for advice on the best way to handle it. We have a party of 8 planning together, and have split into two separate rooms. Due to various issues we now have to switch who is in what room and travel dates. We also have the rooms for a different...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    So...is today the day I need my popcorn ready? It's pretty stale from the other day so I want to know if I need more.

    Food portion cuts to increase profits?

    I think if they had said they would look into cutting portions to reduce food waste (because imagine how much food they throw away) no one would have had an issue. This comment is gross and honestly surprising coming from a company where the parks are known to be more size inclusive than other...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    We're going to have this dynamic too. It has made planning pretty interesting. We have 3 groups of people on our trip, first group is wealthy but can be really cheap sometimes, second group is high earners not really worried about money but also not going to go crazy with spending, and last...

    News Walt Disney World holidays 2021

    Every grandchild in our family gets an orange in our stocking every year. My grandfather was the youngest of 14 siblings in rural Mississippi in the 1940s. Most years the orange was the only present they got. In good years they would get a pair of socks if theirs needed to be replaced. Now I...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I think they probably want to have one consistent time to make it less complicated with early access, park opening being different depending on park and date, etc. It will be less confusing for people if it's the same time no matter what day it is or what park you're going to. 7 am is the time...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Have you ever seen a Rothko in person? It's a completely different experience and absolutely took skill.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I think you should accept that if you can afford all this, you are wealthy. If you don’t like the word wealthy, then at least better off than most. Nothing wrong with that, as my family is in that category too. The $60/day won’t be a big deal to us and I’ll happily pay it to try to cut down on...

    Beaches and Cream

    I have heard you can get the Beaches and Cream shakes at Martha's Vineyard lounge. That might be your best option if you aren't able to get an ADR.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    You're so right. The next step is truly to make it as easy (and desirable!) as possible on people. Anecdotal, but I manage a group of about 50 people in a large company, all essential workers. When I first started getting a list together for who might want a vaccine, the list was small. Lots...
