good to know

We did Navi because we couldnt get FoP. Then we did Rivers to avoid the jam getting in there (there is limited seating) and we did Everest. We find there is usually no lines for the Dinosaur ride and the queue is indoors. And we usually go straight to see the animals in the morning before it...

Definitely use the app when you are there. We were able to re-arrange fast passes constantly because we were able to almost walk right onto rides we had held up on fastpass thus getting us onto more attractions with the least wait times.

When you build the queue to handle a 3 to 4 hour wait they knew exactly what they were doing and expecting the lines to be that long. that's horrible.

I usually try at midnight to book my fastpasses. Are they making you wait til 7 am now?

Art of Animation get alot of complaints about how far away the Mermaid rooms are and they are a long haul over to the Lobby and bus areas. Pop has a nice layout. We stayed in the 80s renovated rooms at Pop and in Lion King at Art. Both resorts are very nice.

I found out when I was there in September if you are booking the lower priced rooms, you are in the non renovated ones. The renovated rooms are getting the higher rates. I didnt realize that when booking. I nicely, not pushy, asked for a renovated room and they moved me to one. Enjoyed it...

Also we stayed at Pop a couple months ago. I didnt realize when booking but the prices on the newly renovated rooms is higher than the ones not renovated yet. I asked the cast member, very politely and not pushy, if there was a chance to get an updated room and she spoke to a manager and they...

My sis works desk at Art of Animation. The hotels do get overbooked from time to time, on purpose, maintenance issues, guests extending etc. They have done upgrades to even the higher end resorts. She has said they usuallyt do not upgrade when someone asks for it because there are way to many...

I am with you. I miss pleasure Island. We would go up there, the environment was fun and vibrant. We dont consume alcohol but we went into the country place and danced and listened to music, loved Fireworks Factory (still have their glass), loved the difference between the marketplace and PI...

AMEN on several points you made. I recently bought a 2 day single park ticket. We decided to come for 5 days instead. I called to see if I could either get the 2 day ticket refunded and buy a 5 day or just pay the difference for the 5 day ticket. I was told, wait til you come and go to guest...

They are investing in the parks but there was a time when they didnt do it fast enough and they are now playing catch up. Look at how long Hollywood and Epcot has waited for updates. Universal is much quicker to pull the trigger on an attraction and add something new or update it. My issue is...

In the grand scheme of things 145 out of 30 thousand plus is minor compared to Sea Worlds smaller staff getting rid of another 350. But having gone through buyouts and layoffs I know any job loss stinks. But every company out there is trying to find a way to squeeze every penny for all it's...

that's how it usually is everywhere else across america

They had certainly better be prepared for some sort of guest negative interactions and I pity those poor castmembers who are going to have to deal with it. Nothing worse than, tired, unhappy from standing in long lines, alcohol fueled guests there for the busy holiday season standing around the...

I can hear the boos and hisses now when he starts to speak and then the brawl inside the hall breaks out. Yes there definitely should be more castmembers on hand but I do think anti current president citizens will avoid the attraction anyway.

I agree I could do without the newer presidents having to speak or speaking in a very limited role. Would love to see 3 or 4 interact that's what gives it such a real life quality.

I think what surprises people, especially first time staying on property, is the value resorts have the longest walks to their busses and to often to their hotel rooms when they return and it's not fun when you're exhausted. Yes value resort rooms are smaller (except the suites at Art) but if...

we had one but it was in a really hidden spot. Pop does try to make the most of the little space there is, especially in the mirror sink areas.

honestly if you look at prices i dont consider art of animation a value resort. it is priced so much higher than the all star resorts which i consider true value resorts. small typical hotel rooms, smaller bathroom, 1 sink, just a clean place to sleep. i've stayed in almost every disney resort...
