I hope you have a great time, please consider sharing a trip report with the empty parks. I would love to see the architecture and landscaping without tons and tons of parkgoers (and that's probably just one family with matching hats or shirts) ruining the images, and it may be the last time...

To take a quote from Syndrome in The Incredibles, "I'll sell my inventions so everyone can be superheroes, everyone can be super. And when everyone's super, no one will be." Disney is trying to sell Genie+ in this way, and the same result will happen. Even if they put 100% of the ride spots...

Preface: Genie+ is not sustainable or scalable in its current form. Many guest reports are saying that standby lines are crawling and there are too many LL guests (from genie+ or ILL's depending on the ride) being admitted. Even wait times in the Lightning Lanes have been reported at over an...

To elaborate on what mergatriod said, there is a bigger issue with the sustainability of the genie+ program as well because it cannot scale upwards from where it is right now. Each ride has a limited throughput and disney chooses how many lightning lane passes are allowed as well as the ratios...

Thanks for jumping in on this, and this is what I was trying to say - that some people will appreciate this change from Spirit of Aloha to a new DVC option. It's not a purely negative thing. I get that some people will miss the dining option, that some people may have really loved the luau...

I already stated the benefits of having more DVC in an established monorail resort. The drawbacks to being lakeside was the location and transportation, along with not being on the monorail. Disney is trying to save $$$ and give people what they want, and that's more resorts on the monorail...

I am sorry because I spoke in hyperbole in the same way that I previously accused @Thelazer of in that one phrase. It made the sentence more inflammatory than it should have been, so I do apologize for that choice of phrasing. I do try to be careful in my phrasing and I should have done...

They're making the resort better for the other people who stay there and spend money, at the expense of some families who enjoyed the undisturbed natural area of a shut-down resort area. If your kid had been bit by a snake because you walked into an undisturbed area, you would have a different...

You apparently don't read or understand what I am saying at all. You're somehow comparing the replacement of one thing you never used, with the outright removal of everything at WDW except one thing? What the heck kind of comparison is that? I guess if you actually booked a vacation at WDW...

Congrats! Every word of what you said is completely wrong. You're reading into what I am saying really poorly and making bad conclusions. 1. I said that disney is trading off the value of a dinner show for the value of dvc rental units. That was in bold. You said that it currently has...

That's a really twisted way to view value. Something you don't want to do now, but you may want to do sometime later? If I don't play golf and disney closes one of their courses today, should i be upset because i may play golf in the future and i may want to play while at disney? Did that...

You're right about the value only if you were planning on being one of those few hundred people to attend a luau. If you weren't booking a luau then your value stays the same. Value isn't an accumulation of everything on prem you would never do. If they close a golf course or even shut down...

I do understand your emotional response to the tear-down of the luau, but there is a lot more to consider here. Disney is literally putting a DVC tower on the footprint of a dinner show which some people here attended and will miss, and some others like myself actually tried (twice) and won't...

Just thinking about this out loud...and sorry this is a long post but I find this type of trip planning interesting. You will be down starting the sunday after thanksgiving for 7 nights. Nov 27th - sunday, partial evening in a park possibly? 28th - monday, park day 1 29th - tuesday, park day 2...

Well-stated, goofy! I agree with these words. makes me think of this...

Your first sentence truly is goofier than most, so I admire your creativity. I can certainly understand everything else you typed, but can you please try to re-explain what the first sentence was trying to say? Did you mean that disney spends money to get people to spend money, and genie+ is...

I think you're blurring the lines between "would robin williams have any legal recourse on this" as if he owned the character, and "how would robin williams feel if the disney character he helped bring to life was used to gouge people's wallets". I assume the intention of the OP's poll was the...

I voted for cheese sticks. Seemed relevant.

Please don't judge me for being selfish, but my satisfaction on planning a WDW trip relies on the fact that most people are having a worse time than I am because they weren't as good at planning. While I don't want people to have a bad time, i acknowledge that unless we have a system like what...

All of them seem to be on backorder now, but the cheapest one is $399 on the steam website (see the image below which was taken today). I always seem to get in trouble for adding links to my posts, but if you just google "steam deck" the top result should be at store <dot> steampowered <dot>...
