My wife and I were there for the debut last night. We waited until the 2nd show due to the crowd. Background - we've seen Spectromagic several times and Mainstreet Electrical Parade at MK. Loved both of those. The good: We have a nighttime parade at MK! The floats are bright and the music...
Ahh…those dreaded two words on the app. I want to thank the CM who credited my credit card for our Genie+ purchase for October 25th, 2023. Nelson was very nice and accommodating. Backstory - long time visitors (since ‘07) who recently moved to Tampa from Indiana. We bought APs in the spring...
I watched the live debut on Disney Parks stream. I won't get into the differences between HEA and this as I was a big fan of Wishes. Wishes was elegant, yet powerful. It told a story. Disney missed on Enchantment. In my opinion it's due to content, story telling, and the music. One would...
Since my family began visiting Disney in 2007, we've seen the following:
Annual ticket price increases
The disappearance of a nighttime parade at MK
Pay for better viewing for firework shows
Increase in room rates for all Disney hotels
Increase in food costs
Magical Express ending
NOW will have...
Ok, after 24 hours before making a post, I figured I'd add my two cents (as if anyone really cares :cool: ). HUGE Star Wars fan. I've been to a couple of the Star Wars Celebrations and love most things Star Wars. My first thought was OMG this is outrageous! Now my second thought...OMG it's...
But Disney is already charging per person for unlimited and the thought is they will also charge for what you order too. If I pay the equivalent Disney charges for park entry in order to enter the restaurant and the expectation is that it’s all you can eat…except the lobster, steak and caviar...
It’s really sad to see many of the changes being made. I’ll cherish the feeling of our first trip when we were sent out the Magical Express packet, greeted at the airport where the ”magic” began, and taken to our resort on the ME. We had the Spectromagic parade, paper fast passes, and felt...
This is sad news for families. Our first trip using DME was in 2007 and we've used it ever since, even when my wife and I flew down just the two of us last year. I understand COVID has hit the bottom line in a significant way for Disney. That said, now it seems Disney World is becoming a...
A lot of interesting thoughts on this topic. My family and I have been coming since 2007. We’ve made a total of 8 trips. Here’s our general observations. New fast past system and dining reservations should give Disney an idea of crowd level...as should resort bookings. No guest should EVER...
My wife and I just returned from a short trip 2/10-2/13. We were surprised at the crowd levels being so high for this time of year. Our thought for going at this time was that the crowd levels would be lower due to schools not being on any breaks. Yet, the parks were very busy. We used to go...
As with most on this forum, big Disney fan. Great memories with the family and love being immersed in the magic. We've been 7 times over the last 11 years and the costs continue to rise at an amazing rate. As costs have risen we've noticed the following:
- More rides closed or breaking down...
I don't disagree with your comments. Disney has always been expensive. Affordability and value are perspectives. It does seem the price is getting out of control.
