    News Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

    I am going to guess that means there’s also no seating?

    News Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

    I cannot believe the first day is tomorrow and we still don’t know who the “international skating stars” are. I’m in a hybrid state of excitement and dread.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Our issue with BoG is two fold: (1) is that it’s been extremely slow when one member of the party has an unusual allergy— I appreciate the caution but I think they lost track of us, we were there nearly 3 hours one time and 90m+ the other, and (2) it’s really really heavy for mid-day meal at a...

    D23 Brazil

    Catching up with the posts today was sort of like playing a very high stress (and still unresolved!) game of 20 questions.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    That was my assumption as well. We’ll know for sure if they stay towards the higher end through the first two weeks of December.

    Come to my Disney Christmas Dark Ride!!

    I’m pretty sure we’d happily do a SWGE walking trail full of SW Christmas Home Depot grade animatronics, and I’m only slightly ashamed to admit it. Though I think it works best sticking to characters with helmets or droids… still, you would have a lot of options. They should consider putting...

    D23 Brazil

    I’m never going to complain about another BBQ option, but they did just reopen a country bear BBQ in DL a few days ago… My bet for D23 is promising to station a Disney ship in South America for at least a one season a year— they seem to have decided to start sprinkling them around the world.

    News Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

    I don’t know if all plastic ice technology is the same, but when I’ve struggled to skate on it in the past, high end blades absolutely leave grooves in the plastic. I think with duller blades it may not leave as much damage?

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    I don’t love either design but at least they aren’t spirit jerseys. Might buy the JN one at the party if we have a great time and the front side isn’t too loud.

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    I’m not rooting against the mouse, but my Christmas wish is that failing to sell out without discounting makes them bring back the Holiday version of CBJ next year so I can shower them with money as a thank you. Disney, if you’re listening, you can just throw back in the chorus of Blood on the...

    General Magic Kingdom News and Updates

    My children are 9 and 7 and one of them did exactly what the Imagineer described during our August trip to MK— but I don’t think it’s us based on the timeline. In our case, my husband made our kids watch his movie so they would have the appropriate background for MNSSHP’s parade with the...

    News Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

    Didn’t mean to get bogged down in technicals, I think it already tells us what we need to know that they haven’t actually announced any skaters yet.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I think you are on to something with VQ. If 120 min worth of people (say the delta between FoP back in 2019 and the actual wait without VQ for Cosmic Rewind or the LL availability for Tron/RotR) are milling around the park it will feel more crowded. I also suspect (but am not sure) there are...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I laughed when I read “For guests looking to save, midweek days during non-peak times remain the most budget-friendly option.” I think for guests looking to save, especially at AK and Epcot, the answer is to just book LLMP early for the 3 most difficult rides and plan to maybe have to wait in...

    News Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

    Sorry if I inadvertently cast aspersions on ice dancers! I meant that maybe it would be less dangerous to attempt some of the crowd pleasing but less technical dance choreography segments than the triples and quads most elite international freestyle skaters would be expected to put in a routine...

    News Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

    It is not safe to do any elite level maneuvers on plastic “ice”— so I’m curious what international skating stars they signed up. Maybe ice dancers or skaters from the 1980s? Back when I was competing, my coaches would not have let me used my real blades on this kind of surface… but I guess it...

    General Magic Kingdom News and Updates

    Kids and adults who have nether experienced any other version of the ride love it. 🙃 I would prefer to upgrade it to the Shanghai version, or at least the DL version…but honestly I just hope Disney starts building new rides before replacing existing rides that generally function fine.

    Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree

    We made it to the new Country Bearified BBQ jamboree and I found the amount of effort put into making it Country Bear themed to be underwhelming. Happy to try to address specifics, but wanted to note a couple things for others planning to go soon: - Mobile order was booking out 70-90+ minutes...

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    After I posted last night, it occurred to me that pre-show plus bonus line is one of the more egalitarian things Disney has adopted lately. It makes the experience better for occasional and low skill visitors but slows down park experts, ride warriors, and people who can pay $$ to skip lines.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    I might just have terrible luck, but we did Mission Breakout yesterday, tapped LL at 6:50, was in the preshow by 6:52 and didn’t get on the elevator until 7:15– both the upstairs and downstairs elevators were loading… as we queued up the stairs it did look like the downstairs queue was shorter...
