    Cost

    Unless you absolutely have to stay at a Disney resort, there are various hotel options in the area for less than $150 per night. I've stayed at the one below several times. It is fairly new and everything is fresh. Free continental breakfast, free parking and free shuttles to Disney. Pestana...

    How much does your average Disney World vacation cost?

    This poll is a bit flawed. Most people could choose the first option of under $1 million and be correct, even if their Disney vacation only cost them $100.

    Virtual Queue Unnecessary Restriction

    Not at all. If someone cannot get a VQ by using the method I described it is because they were not fast enough with their timing and fingers. If they are just slightly slow, they might get a high number BG that gets called after 1:00pm but, then again, it is because they were too slow when...

    Virtual Queue Unnecessary Restriction

    Wow, I didn't even know that such a thing existed for free. A google search when I was looking for an aftermarket app to help with getting a virtual queue the other day didn't turn up anything. I read about the BG1 just now and it is interesting. I like to tinker. ;)

    Virtual Queue Unnecessary Restriction

    You can keep saying that it is luck all you want but it is skill that gets you into a VQ when the slots fill up within a few seconds, unless you happen to have one of those secret apps that do it for you. You just need fast fingers and a bit of instinct on when to exactly press the Refresh...

    Greater Than 10-Day Ticket at WDW

    I think you will find that you'll probably want to take a break from Disney for a few days during your visit and 12 days (or even 10 days) at Disney all at once is a bit much. There are many other things to do in the Orlando area besides WDW. Universal Studios is not too far away. SeaWorld is...

    Virtual Queue Unnecessary Restriction

    Knowing precisely when to tap on the button in the app has everything to do with it. I got BG #1 on consecutive days for TRON and Guardians when we were there last fall by watching the atomic clock time on my PC with the NIST website pulled up in our rental house while my finger hovered over...

    Virtual Queue Unnecessary Restriction

    Hmm... where exactly?

    Virtual Queue Unnecessary Restriction

    There is no lottery for the VQ - it's all a matter of how FAST you can tap the button at precisely 7:00am, based on the atomic time clock, not what is shown on your smart phone. Either that, or find one of the entrepreneurs who wrote an app to instantly let you join a VQ at exactly 7:00am or...

    Space Mountain vs TRON Lightcycle / Run

    I chose Space Mountain, mainly because I do not get motion sickness from riding it.

    Swiss Family Treehouse Delete

    I asked a cast member about this when I was there last fall. I mentioned that I occasionally see something like a 15 minute wait in the app for the treehouse and she said that yes, there sometimes is a line.

    Grand Floridian

    ??? V&A costs around $1,000 per couple. We ate there in 2019 and it cost us $850 without any wine pairings, just tea. I'm sure the price has gone up since 5 years ago. The MNSSHP doesn't cost anywhere near that amount per couple.

    Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2024

    When we went to the party last year we were in MK from soon after it opened in the morning, all the way through the party. We didn't want to deal with the party crowds at the gate or the lines of vehicles heading to the parking lot. We had our costumes in a duffel bag and we rented a locker...

    Relief band for motion sickness

    ReliefBand may or may not work for me but for its $250 price I think I'll stick with some of the previously mentioned solutions.

    Website Issues or Sold Out?

    When I went to the Explore Resort Hotels on Disney's website just now and entered 01/03/25-01/10/25 for the dates it showed me 29 Disney resorts with rooms available.

    Space Mountain vs The Incredible Hulk Coaster

    Same here. I don't get motion sickness on Space Mountain but I almost get it from just looking at the Hulk. That's one of the few rides at Universal that I would never go on and I don't think Dramamine would help.

    Would the virtual queues be better as a lottery?

    It would be interesting to know, although I don't think there's any way to detect such systems. When we were there last fall, I was able to get BG #1 on consecutive days for TRON and Guardians. I don't think there's any VQ lottery but I believe it is all a matter of timing and sometimes having...

    Would the virtual queues be better as a lottery?

    The VQ at 1pm sometimes fills faster than the 7am queue, at least for Tiana's. Also, there are some enterprising individuals who have written apps that can instantly join a VQ at the exact moment the atomic clock changes to 7am or 1pm. That's why there have been times where the VQs have...

    Halloween or Christmas party——pick one

    For me, it was long lines in the ride queues at the MVMCP. When I bought our tickets for the party and I asked the customer service person about FastPass (this was back in 2018), she said it was like night and day crowd-wise and we didn't need it. We quickly found out during the party that her...

    Halloween or Christmas party——pick one

    Halloween. We get to dress up in costumes and interact with other party guests throughout the evening. That, and we get a lot of candy. I've been to the MVMCP, back in 2018 or 2019. Perhaps things have gotten better but it was sooooo crowded that we didn't enjoy it very much. We said we'd...
