    Which Disney location will open first

    Florida will be last. The US response was months behind the rest of the world and people are still not taking it seriously. Mid April and our numbers are skyrocketing and show no signs of slowing down.

    Finger Print Readers Suspended??

    Anything done to "help" contain this virus is just for show. It is a virus with no known cure or vaccine. Anti bacterial wipes and gels will do nothing as this is a virus and not a bacteria. At this point in time, staying away from those infected and being diligent with what you do and where...

    What time do they open ticket windows at DHS?

    I have an AP, my friend is buying one. We want to get to DHS early enough to get a boarding group, prolly 630/7 ish. Are the ticket windows opened that early. I failed to notice on my last visit.

    Fastpasses and cancelled hotel room reservation

    If your FP+ were booked with your resort reservation 30 to 60 days out, then yes, your FP will be deleted with your resort, unless you book another qualifying resort within 24 hours. This was a loophole people were using to be able to book their passes at 60 days out.

    News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Make sure you have the latest updated APP available. I was there today (2-11-20) and did not. I thought I did because I was booking same day FP+, lunch and dinner ADRs. But at 8am...nothing. luckily a very nice Guest Service CM helped me out, saw that I entered the park at 7:02 (arrived at...

    Disney is pretty well known for providing entertainment. Let them do their job. Sing as much as you want at home.

    Magic Kingdom Looks Its Age

    When Disney sells 3 different admissions on the same day, there is little time left for maintenance. I posted something similar about the park looking its age. Dirty, worn out, out dated. CMs looking uninterested and unhappy. Old Fantasyland looks like something out of a community theater, not...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    I know how FP works. I was a CM when FP began and an AP for most of the past 20 years. FP doesn't change the capacity of an attraction, it only creates 2 queues. The point I am trying to make is the FP queue was not much faster than the stand by queue. We never seem to have this issue at the...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    Yes, I'm a troll because I made the effort to secure a FP and don't think it is acceptable to have a 15-20 min wait in a queue before I scan my band to wait in another 20-30 min queue. If you think that is ok, fine with me Sorry but it is not very fun to see frightened pets that people are...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    Never said I was, but I do know that a true trained service dog does not eat scraps from a table while working. I know they are not supposed to have their paws on the table begging and whining for food. I also know that a true service dog is able to guide its handler around with out shaking. I...

    Disney parks research question

    How about Disney addiction or any kind of entertainment addiction. Or, not just about Disney, but all theme parks. The challenge of keeping guests entertained as technology increases and guests need to be constantly stimulated. Do FP and other forms of express or virtual queues work? And what...

    Magic Kingdom...not so magical.

    Spent the day (Monday 12/9) at the Magic Kingdom and I have to say, it was rather underwhelming. We parked at TTC about noon and planned on heading to the entrance to take the boat to WL for lunch at Whispering Canyon. Construction was a nightmare, I can't imagine the chaos at park opening...

    Why the annual pass wasn't for me

    EMH are a perk for staying at a resort, with or without an AP. They were never a perk for just having an AP. Not sure why that came as a surprise to you. As for your #4. Did you think by purchasing an AP, your drive time would decrease, the price of gas would decrease, you would lose the need...

    Signature Celebration Package at Cinderella’s Royal Table experience ( what a disappointment)

    When you are paying for a signature experience, nothing is complementary. It is included in the premium price. (Champagne)
