    WDW As The Only Vacation Option: Why?

    We have always done other vacations, but our "big" vacations have tended to be WDW. My husband and I have both travelled a lot, and yes, going other places is always interesting and often fun. But nowhere else gives me the joy, excitement and plain old happiness that WDW does. It's just a...

    What would it take for you to NOT go back?

    I dont think it's that people aren't enjoying it. My last trip was early 2020 and we had a great time, but some things irked us, like the parks closing early so that they could then be reopened for people willing to shell out additional money for the "after dark" tickets or whatever it's called...

    Are you buying Genie+

    On principle, I will not. Some of my most treasured memories are from Disney trips, but I've reached the point where I feel like I'm in a relationship with someone who knows they can act as badly as they want and I still won't leave. It's like Disney knows that they can do whatever they want...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    Or disabled people, or older people, or foreigners who might not feel comfortable renting a car and driving in a different country... The fact is that DME was a great, great perk that made your arrival in MCO really simple and easy. And now it's gone.

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    Yikes. I didn't know that. I can't even imagine how I would feel paying for a bus trip to take me from a (very expensive) Disney hotel to a (very expensive) Disney cruise.

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    I just want to make sure I understand this - you stayed at the Contemporary and then took a Disney cruise and they made you pay for the bus?!?!?!?

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    Responding very late, but...this is most definitely NOT a win in my book. Not all of us are morning people who want to get up at 6am on our holidays to press through a crowd to get into the park as it opens. The fact that they are taking away evening EMH is a huge loss. Evening EMH were a...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    I think I'm seriously done. As someone who ALWAYS flies to WDW, the Magical Express was a huge perk. It's not about the cost, it's about the convenience of knowing that as soon as you land, you know where to go and you don't have to worry about getting a ride share or a cab or whatever. And...

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    Those were pretty much my exact thoughts when it happened.

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    This is not Disney related, but the thread made me think of it. One year at Halloween (I was a young adult) I dressed up as the Pink Panther (homemade costume) and hit the town with my best friend, who was dressed as Inspector Clouseau. A guy came up to me at one point and said "Are you...that...

    Please explain the Tiki Room

    I love this. Several years ago we had just gotten home from a great trip and I was in post-disney depression. The morning after we got home I got up and put on the Tiki Room song. I was crying within the first four bars. I'll generally quote that song any chance I get. Say someone uses...

    Splash Mountain Merchandise

    It's not just craziness, it's pure greed and hypocrisy on Disney's part. The ride is supposedly a problem, but they have no qualms about taking your cash in exchange for a stuffed animal of those "problematic" characters. Splash is my favorite ride, but at this point Disney could be selling a...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    You pretty much said it all here. What is happening makes me sick. As for the merch, I already have a collection of Splash items going back about 20 years. But I won't pay a cent to Disney for any more Splash merchandise. Selling this stuff hand over first while scrapping the ride because...
