Love reading observations from someone "on scene" who doesn't seem to have an ax to grind! FOTLK is an outstanding production I could see weekly and still love it. I haven't figured out why people will wait 120+ minutes for the 7DMT yet...good attraction but not THAT good. Agree about "One...

Most folks I talk to with Fitbits tell me they average about 2000 steps per hour. 20K is very attainable.

I've seen the term "the average guest" a number of times and have to wonder is it even a valid term with regards to Walt Disney World. I've met people who experienced every attraction at the MK but claimed the day stunk because they couldn't get a dinner reservation at BOG. I've also met...

One thing that really hasn't been discussed too much (if at all) was the lack of any "vibe" during the event. The Attractions Magazine article hinted on it but to me at least anytime the MK is under 10 or 12 thousand the park feels "empty". Under this condition everything except 7DMT, PP and...

Visited the MK yesterday and as far as I'm concerned the system worked perfectly. Not only were we able to pick up a fourth and fifth FP+ but after using the third MDX advised me that we were eligible to pick a fourth immediately after we left the third attraction. Did the same after the...

When you and your son ride Splash take your wife and 21 month old with you and get a rider switch (the Greeter will more than likely want to see the child to issue you the rider switch lanyard). That way your wife and son could ride while you stay out with the child. If your wife doesn't want...

You nailed it!

No doubt in my mind Splash Mountain! ToT a close up second.

No rude response here. I chaperoned many a trip when my kids were in middle and high school and there were always kids who burned through all their cash/prepaid card before the trip was over. They would end up calling home and begging for more. It is super easy to burn through cash at WDW...

No one has to manipulate stand by wait times to create an effect on guests - the "system" does it automatically. A short time back I was at the AK and upon exiting the Festival of the Lion King we noted a 10 minute wait at EE. We beat feet over there (along with many others I'm sure who...

Don't be nervous. I've come to understand the "half day park" sentiment that many have since there are a number of shows/attractions that either don't appeal to some or once you've seen them a couple times well, you've seen them. Having fulfilled my goal of experiencing every attraction at...

A bit of a bump here - caught the act first time yesterday. The music was decent enough but stage presence is still a bit lacking with no real energy or "vibe". I'm pretty sure my wife and I were the only people who stayed the whole performance (we posted up on the fence between the walkway...

A costumed CM's primary function is to keep their attraction/area running safely and efficiently while providing guests with a good experience. The "front line" cast does that very well. As far as information, an attraction greeter may not even know the exact reason why their own attraction is...

Any rider switch scheme has minimal impact on FP+ as it's not particularly popular anyway. Imagine how much better the world could be if people put the same effort into solving real issues as they do in trying to game something like FP+.

I love the MK at night. One of the best experiences you can have is timing it to ride Splash Mountain during Wishes. If you're lucky you can see a fireworks burst over the castle just as you crest the lift before the big drop as well as seeing fireworks as you make the turn before the first...

I completely agree with the OP. Epcot has so much potential I could go on and on. Epcot was my first Disney love after my first visit in 1988. I STILL love the place and hope it gets the much needed love it needs.

Sorry to see it go but oh well. The show does a pretty decent job in giving the audience a behind the scenes look at how car stunts are performed. The stunts were pretty darn good too. I agree that it has to be an expensive attraction to maintain between pro drivers, stunt men, mechanics...

Certainly nothing more frustrating that getting a different answer to the same question. I'm inclined to give the CM's you talked to a little benefit of the doubt and wonder if they understood the question. I don't know if this is a possibility, but I'd take the child with me and go to the My...

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Now that I've had a chance to really think about the original post, I will stand by my comment that the OP was hardly delusional and I don't think they were trying to get a rise out of anyone (although they did in a couple cases). I do think however that this almost could be 10 different...
