    Crowd calendars

    My opinion about Touring Plans crowd level predictions. From my Sept. 2021 and Sept 2022 trips. All the attractions that were open before Covid have still not reopened. If 10% of the attractions are still closed then the people that would have been in those lines have to now be in the lines for...

    Memory Maker Question

    In 2012 I went to Disney with the Pop Warner football team. I had Memory Maker. Was able to link 4 other families into my Memory maker. When I came home I made DVD's for the others.

    Disney starts there Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party on Nov 8th. You would think all the Christmas decoration would be up by then.

    I injury at Raglan Road

    For a number of years I was a manager of a retail store. We always were told to document anything that happened in the store or outside. Mostly to protect us. If someone slipped and fell what did they slip on type things. This made me think of the time one of the employees came in and...

    Wet Rears

    I don't understand your concerns. You are getting into a ride that you are going to get wet. Why when you sit down at the beginning be any different from when you get wet during the drop. You come off the ride wet. My experience is that the seat is usually the only place close to dry because the...

    Cash for Tips

    I have always left the meal tips in cash. For me this is not just at Disney thing. Even when we had Free Disney Dining trips. Plan to continue doing so in 47 days.

    Advice for MNSSHP

    I have been to more than 6 MNSSHP. Have tickets to 9/20/2022 night. My birthday is 10/31. I have found that you either do rides and pick up candy or watch parade and fireworks. There is not enough time to do both. There will be meet and greets with character that you do not normally see. The...

    August 2022 - 10th to 17th

    From my trip last September. The crowd level was posted as 2 to 3 while we were there but lines were a lot longer than crowd level should expect. There are still many Disney attractions and events that have not reopened. So it concentrates the crowds on the things that are open. I figured about...

    How much $$ for Thanksgiving 2022?

    I spent more than 10K on my last trip in September 2021. I took a number of people that had not been to Disney recently or at all. With all the changes because of Covid there were so many things closed. Not to mention no fast pass no Disney dinning. I felt I spent a lot of money for say 80% of...

    Do I have the best deal?

    Last September I was looking for a place for 4 adults and 2 children. Was looking at pricing for 2 rooms at FQ. Had always heard that DVC rentals were a good deal so I looked into it. Was able to do a DVC rental for Saratoga Springs deluxe 2 room suite for about $500 less than 2 rooms at FQ...

    MNSCHP Planning

    Now that they have announced that this year is going to be MNSCHP and not Boo Bash. What ever day you go do not buy a park ticket for that day. Save the money. Just use the MNSCHP ticket and enter the park at 4 pm. We will be there on Tuesday 9/20. Most nights sell out so crowd levels are going...
