Oops, I should know which castle is in DL - that’s the park I grew up going to & is by far the closer & thus cheaper option for a Disney fix 😆 but alas, my princess days are a distant memory.

Sleeping Beauty’s castle in DL doesn’t even have a restaurant, thus it makes $0 - guess we should rip it out & replace it with a building housing a money making ride. The Radiator Springs Racers ride is the best ride in CA, if you can get on it. However, the ‘land’ you must traverse to get to...

Can someone show me where all of this water in/around the Cars ATV ride will be? I’ve studied the D23 art - I’ve circled in black the only area that looks like it might be water. I’ve made a red line for all of the track areas - I’m unclear on the white cascade down the mountain - maybe a...

As of July 31, 2024, Riviera was 68% sold, assuming they managed another month of 100,000+ sales there in August as they did in July, they’re likely currently at 70% sold - still 2 years +/- from selling out. Which is why starting construction on another new WDW DVC resort in the near future...

WDW is built on a swamp, having water isn’t the issue, good design is the issue, specifically using expanses of water as part of an overall park design & the fact that the current group at Disney doesn’t inspire confidence that they’re capable of designing & executing a decent large scale redesign.

AK has a river running through it. DHS has echo lake. Epcot is designed around the seven seas lagoon. They designed a river for DL & Paradise Bay for CA. This plan to drain the ROA & make MK the first domestic park w/out a prominent body of water shows just how little the current regime...

A couple of additional matching addresses on W. Wilderness Way that Balfour Beatty previously pulled permits for in 2019/2020 that are listed in the 7/31/2024 permit: 10/10/19 - 632 for structural foundations 4/3/20 - 612 (transportation dock,) 636 (bus stop & walkway,) & 640 (table service...

I can‘t find a link to the 7/31/24 permit - but are the addresses the same as the ones filed by Balfour Beatty on 8/27/2019 - https://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/downloads/20190531352.pdf?parent=DOC2705S41826 which also ranged from 570 - 728 W. Wilderness Way & were thought to be linked to...

There’s no simple answer to what is legally required, although the 9th circuit case brought by plaintiffs who were denied DAS passes offers some clarity. Preliminarily, the party seeking accommodation must show they are disabled. One of the California DAS litigants lost because the court found...

There are 202 ‘new’ resort studios in BPK v. 47 deluxe studios in the original VGF building, so I’ll take deluxe studios book faster for a $1,000 Alex.

Thanks for the correction, I think I confused IA$ w/ Genie+. There have been so many changes I need to start keeping notes, trying to plan our next trip is like trying to hit a moving target. in 2019 w/ FP+ we got up early once 60 days before arrival & scheduled 3 rides for each day at one park...

Ouch, so in that sense worse than any previous version of FP. W/ the one at a time machines at least if you started early enough you had a shot at skipping the line to reride a favorite later in the day & w/ the 3 FP system you could sometimes snag a favorite for a reride after you’d run through...

How do the J&J one and done folks get counted? My niece & her hubby live in PA and J&J was the first shot available to them, so that’s what they got. Rest of the family got Pfizer except me - I ended up w/ Moderna, I wasn’t thrilled @ the time w/ the extra week of waiting between doses (my...

You do realize that 7DMT is only available via IAS, thus your daily $15 Genie+ will never give you LL for 7DMT, you’ll either wait standby or pay IA$ to skip the line for 7DMT so no worries about the 7DMT Maxpass style (not-IAS) being gone at 7:00:08.

I survived and enjoyed the parks, but I enjoyed the parks more w/ my 3 FP+ already booked because the paper FP certainly did run out & for popular rides they ran out early & often. The other thing to remember is that back in the paper FP days attendance when I went - 10-11 days in early/mid Dec...
