    gaurdians to be both virtual and pay by genie,lightning lane?

    The virtual queues for me have always been... interesting. I'm making up times, because I can't recall, but it goes like this. 6:59:59am refresh Congratulations, your window is at 5pm! Ride is down all day. Congrats, you can maybe ride at end of day! Literally happened on both RoTR and...

    Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith vs Slinky Dog Dash

    Both are great coasters. However, the true litmus test for me is which one do the kids ask to ride? The answer is RnRC, and it's not even close. If SDD waits are over 30 minutes (and they almost always are), we don't even bother with it unless it's just icing on the cake, but even then...

    Rank the Disney/Universal Orlando parks

    Universal studios has been kinda bleh in terms of development to me, but we still love it. Jimmy Fallon ride is a dud. Fast & Furious is a dud. We lost a couple "unique" experiences like Jaws and Twister along the way, among others. I know they were tired, but they were different, and now all...

    Will Harmonious Survive?

    Harmonious the show is fine, but it's not so great that I can overlook the freaking giant barges that take up 10% of the lake and ruin the aesthetic. Imagine if they parked 5 semi truck trailers in front of the castle for the fireworks show all day?

    Is it the rides, the environment, the characters, or the themed merchandise?

    I think the answer is YES. All of those things combine to create memories. The first impression. The rides... these are often the first thrill rides kids can actual ride. The shows. The food. The smells. The heat. The rainy days. The late nights (when they had them). Osborne Family Lights (THEY...

    DisneyQuest 2.0 replace NBA Experience?

    Spirit Halloween coming soon, lol!

    Bring back one piece of defunct Disney Parks merchandise.

    Mine requires a store being re-opened. I think not having the Main Street Magic Shop is a huge miss. I remember every single trick I got from that place. Imagine all of the magic light bulbs they'd sell?

    How likely are resorts to fill up before 5-7 months out

    We live in easy driving distance, our trips aren't always that thought out, lol! One trip per year we coordinate with rest of family, and that's always at AKL. The rest, well, let's just say we decided to go last weekend on Thursday...

    How likely are resorts to fill up before 5-7 months out

    Others have likely far better experience than me, but I'm willing to add to the total knowledge base here. We have 2 contracts at AK, and have rarely had an issue finding a room when we need one. However... we don't always "want" to stay at AK, and have had less success getting something we...

    Sea World treats pass holders the best. :-)

    Look,, if WDW is this crowded.. the OPEN A FIFTH PARK...

    Disney needs to improve efficiency in many areas and also...inefficiency, lol. What has been missing for so long now are all the crowd-guzzling things like Fantasmic, parades, fireworks, meet and greets, full-opening of shops and restaurants, street entertainers, etc. (yes I know some are...

    Death at Icon Park accident

    We were at a park yesterday, and a very large man was trying to board a coaster. They couldn’t get the harness to secure, and he became belligerent about it. They did everything they could to make it work. He even changed seats, took off his sweatshirt, and sucked in the gut. They thought they...

    What will it take to stop you from going to WDW?

    Six Flags pass holder here, too. I have lost count, but it's close to 20 years. They aren't perfect, but it's hard to complain about it when I can get a pass for $40-70 bucks, depending on the year. They didn't even charge us for 2021. 2022 renewed for $39.99. All the coasters are open, too...

    What will it take to stop you from going to WDW?

    Do you mean overlays or completely replacing props with screens? I would be devastated about it at first, but I might try it out of spite, prepared to mock it. If it was good, I might begrudgingly admit it.

    Would Robin Williams approve Disney using the Genie to get people to sign up for the app of the same name?

    I don't care if would be offended because they used the name. He was a paid actor, it's their IP. I would hope he would be offended because genie+ is trash. ;-)

    What will it take to stop you from going to WDW?

    Ride Reliability has also made it unbearable. Pay for a ride that isn't working, and when you can ride it, the line is an hour+ long because everyone that had paid to ride for the past few hours is there now. 7am booking is a pain. Nothing like logging on and seeing the first opportunity at...

    What will it take to stop you from going to WDW?

    Winner. And it's even tougher if you have people in your party that fail to realize this. Every year for 15+ years, my in-laws have yet to comprehend why I try to book rooms 7 months out, or find reservations when available, or why we need to get tickets so far ahead. They are living in the 1970s.

    What will it take to stop you from going to WDW?

    We already don’t go as often. We won’t go this year, will do universal instead. It’s a combination of everything you mentioned. Ultimately, when it feels more like Six Flags than Disney, we wouldn’t go. Disrepair, dirty bathrooms, closed entertainment, overcrowded “special” events, carnival...

    What do you think about the 7DMT?

    It is a coaster than anyone can ride. Kids like it, and people with coaster issues don't have a problem with it. It's fun, but it is entirely too short to invest more than 30 minutes in line. Our kids love it, so it's always a "must do," but I can tell you sometimes we "don't do," because I am...
