Exactly. I must have misunderstood your previous postings. I thought you were advocating that my experiences in Sep/Oct were an anomaly and should be discounted. For the record I was staying offsite 6 days and onsite 15 days (though in 3 different resorts). I didn't get my new AP until a month...

Ding ding ding ding.... We have a winner! I am the so-called "Disney Expert" when it comes to my family. I invested thousands of dollars buying DVC just so I could "treat" my family to vacations there. I loved the experience so much from 2001-2006 I just had to share it. I've purchased park...

I highly doubt that hypothesis. I was thinking maybe it was just increased crowds my last trip or bad luck, but then I found a nice handy dandy tool online that polls the FP+ system every 30 minutes looking for times over the next 3 months. Watching that for a few days gives you surprising...

That explains AP holders taking up demand but the onsite guests getting access "day of" to only AK does not explain why availability is lacking "week of" as well as "day of". I'm talking about checking for FP+ the night before (between 11pm - 2am) and morning you get up (between 5am-8am). These...

Can anyone answer this? We (meaning 2 of us) had lunch at BOG on our previous Sep/oct trip. (Oct 2). Now we're going back NYE week but we have a room with 9 people on the reservation. I just checked the site to see what would happen if I tried booking a time during that week. It shows the...

I've experienced MagicBand/FP+ twice so far. Last NYE when it first launched to all resort guests and again this past Sep/Oct when it had deployed to AP holders as well. Now my NYE trips tend to be highly orchestrated from the day I arrive (December 29) through NYE itself. I know which park I...

Agreed. Then they can experience the flaws in the system firsthand.

I realize this post is from a month ago, but a few things are confusing me. Journey Into Imagination has two wheelchair vehicles. Both were working when I went on two weeks ago (end of September). I was able to do this attraction with no FP+ and just the usual wait for the wheelchair car to...

When I first used FP+ it was during my NYE trip last year. Those are highly planned trips for me where I know exactly which park I'm visiting on which day. I had a much different and happier experience with FP+ then. I suspect most of the positives you hear are from the first time users who are...

You should fire your in-home IT guy then. Your router setup is not configured correctly for your home. That is the easiest location to ensure WiFi consistency. There are several deadzones in Disney and WiFi speeds are pathetic. I was fortunate to get 2 mbps some days. This is on par with the...

Yup, that's the day I stop buying park tickets and use my DVC to stay onsite and do other non-Park things. Ironically, FP+ has made my stays more complicated not easier. I don't have time to browse a shop or make an ADR. I'm too busy rushing from one FP+ window to another.

Just download Chrome and use the web app. It works much better, has more features and will remember your password. The Android app is too annoying and forgetful. I did that for my new 5.5" LG G3. Works great. Oh and T-Mobile service crushed Disney's WiFi and my brothers Verizon the last few...

I like the Halloween Party band. I always did favor that design of Mickey & Minnie. Much cuter than the blah colored bands. To me it's just a cute bracelet for $30. Better than the $200 the tech companies want to charge me for a smartwatch.

Ironic, ain't it? The only people being sent on the ride maze crisscrossing a park to visit a ride twice to go on it are the people with the most physical/mental impairments.

What's more there was a point reallocation the following year that adjusting things back again for many members. The old allocation created a system where Fri/Sat nights were double the amount of Sun-Thurs nights. Many owners were only booking those weekday stays sucking up the availability and...

What I see of the "hate" (as you put it though I'd call it confusion in points of view that fuels the vitriol) is some people who presume a person requesting consideration for a special need is somehow getting something better than them. Not what they're actually doing in trying to have an equal...

I'll find the exact post for you guys when I'm not on a tablet. It refers to a report from someone fined in Huntington Beach, CA for using the designated HA stall when not disabled. Fine was in the $200s (I got that wrong). Person fought it in court and lost.

I think the confusion you and I are encountering is that Disney did away with the wheelchair access lines when they switched to FP and GAC. (A couple notable exceptions exist like Spaceship Earth and American Adventure. I think Splash and Space Mountain too. I can't ride those so have never...

That depends on the jurisdiction. Did you know in California it is a fine-able offense to use a handicapped stall if you are not disabled? It'll cost you $400+ to find out. At the very least it is proper etiquette to give priority to a disabled person for the handicapped stalls. Just because...

I can relate to this frustration and experience. You see it a lot whenever you are waiting for a wheelchair vehicle. Unfortunately DAS does nothing to prevent it from happening. And here's where we get into my initial gripe about DAS. Before the new program I talked to a lot of people in WDW...
