    Volcano Bay

    No doubt, at busy times, you won't just walk right onto top-tier attractions at Disney. Personally, it's one reason why we're Universal AP holders and always stay on property. As mcuh as I don't care for booking Fastpass in advance, I will say, for our vacation in a couple of weeks, we got every...

    Volcano Bay

    Then there is something extremely wrong with TapuTapu. Volcano Bay has more slides than Typhoon Lagoon, yet its wait times are anywhere from 5-10x as long at VB and people are not getting to ride all the slides. I mean, it is what it is.

    "You're clearly not understanding how virtual queuing works. You don't need to be able to wait in a physical line to reap the benefits of the virtual queue. The fact that other people aren't taking up space in line while also having a place held for them in another line brings down wait times...

    Volcano Bay

    With all due respect, clearly that's not the case, at least given the amount of negative reviews on VB and the most common complaint being the wait times. And there is no way, the average standby wait at Disney exceeds 3-4 hours like some of the slides at VB seem to. Look, Fastpass is by no...

    Volcano Bay

    Because in that instance, I COULD use the Disney Fastpass system. Yes, I understand they aren't the same. Fastpass, Express, QuickQue are all better because you CAN have a place in line and ride other attractions. That is where TapuTapu fails. Now, if they adjusted things so you could tap into...

    Volcano Bay

    And for the hundredth time, I get it. Honestly, it's not that complicated. I don't think there's a single person who doesn't understand TapuTapu is a virtual line, not a Fastpass, not Express, and not a QuickQue. "You wait in (virtual) standby for one attraction at a time, like you would at any...

    Epcot named worst tourist trap in Florida

    As much work as Epoct needs, this article is nothing but pure crap. Though it lacks enough attractions, some are my favorites in all of Florida. To say nothing about how great some of the food is.

    YC refurbed walkthrough

    Few thoughts: Rooms at YC have lost all theme and character. Again, Disney getting rid of ceiling fans is just beyond words stupid. The refurbed rooms at Pop Century are ugly as sin. They look exactly like a patients room at a hospital. Is it just me or do Disney and Universal refurbed rooms...

    Volcano Bay

    Large wait times at any new park is to be expected, yes. Not being able to enjoy other rides while you "wait" to ride another, that's a problem. That's what the main issue at VB is.

    Volcano Bay

    I'm disappointed that we won't be going. According to Trip Advisor, wait times are still terrible. I'm also reading more about how the park isn't finished. I won't give any review obviously since I haven't been, but I also won't spend $300 for admission alone based on the overwhelming majority...

    Volcano Bay

    Eh, vacation time is too precious. And I'm the 1st to admit, I don't have a lot of patience. Off topic but one thing I was thinking of as an option, Universal should go the Discovery Cove route. If they did that, it would solve the wait issue. Granted, DC works well because there isn't much...

    Volcano Bay

    Interesting that Universal has stopped replying to all the complaints on TripAdvisor. Can't say I blame them. The canned responses were kind of pointless. We're just 2 weeks away from our trip. Really disappointed. We were so looking forward to going to the park. I'm truly shocked that...

    WDW Nightmares

    Leading up to a trip I have recurring nightmares that I've been at Disney for my entire vacation as planned, but didn't get to do many attractions. I basically missed the trip even though I was there.

    Magic Kingdom closing at 9:00 in July?

    Is this accurate? According to the app, park closes all of July (including the 4th) at 9:00. That seems really hard to believe. Usually open until 11:00 in the summer.

    Volcano Bay

    I don't mind getting to a water park at 9:00AM, but I don't want to be running around like a mad man to get on as many slides as possible. And that seems to be the only option. Out of every 5 or 6 reviews I read, there's one that reads that the park was great, no lines, etc. But all those...

    PO-FQ or Coronado Springs?

    POFQ only has a food court. Riverside has a sit down restaurant. I actually found the food at Pepper Market to be excellent. We ate dinner there a couple nights it was so good. I was surprised by how much I liked Coronado Springs, but honestly, with all the construction going on, I would stay...

    Polynesian or Grand Floridian Honeymoon?

    It's all personal preference. Do you prefer elegance and Victorian style, or do you prefer a tropical resort atmosphere? I think the rooms at the GF are the nicest on property, so that's something to consider. Either way, you can't go wrong, as they're both great and you're within walking...
