The Trattoria is pretty good. Two food we really liked were the olives appetizer (just some olives, but good), and the personal pizza. It can be a hike to the main pool from your room, and main pool is deeper than most WDW pools. It is a bit too deep for small kids to stand on the bottom...

Inflated wait times also impact DAS usage.

Oh, you reminded me of a dessert I used to love from that bakery. I don't recall the name, but it was a dark chocolate cup, filled with fresh berries and a bit of cream filling. They used high quality dark chocolate, and a mix of blueberries and raspberries. We used to always get them to eat...

then again..... in my family it wasn't the kids that had meltdowns. going back to my earliest park days, the adult meltdowns were always more of a problem

Alas, this is perhaps an option that appeals to people who have a medical condition, and don't feel able to stand in long lines, but still want to visit WDW, despite the added cost. I could see this appealing to someone who has a medical condition which limits the family's endurance. Maybe they...

I haven't been to the 2 parks you listed, but I often combine WDW and Universal. Sometimes I do all standby at US, other times I stay at one of the deluxe hotels. Otherwise, I have been to many smaller amusement parks that just don't get long lines. Disney and Universal have somewhat spoiled...

It was slightly controversial, but WDW allowed parkgoers to use most paper FP well after the window expired. Mostly we used them in the time window, because that meant being able to get another one sooner. Sometimes we'd chance it, and wait to use one so we could do back-to-back re-rides...

Or possibly someone who buys it to use on their arrival/departure days - esp. out of state AP holders. Or perhaps someone who lives locally and is an AP holder who goes to the parks after work. Also someone who is visiting Orlando for a conference, and goes to the park with a conference ticket...

Except parkgoers will be allowed to buy this AND LLMP. They are also allowed to book a VQ. If a park goer is willing to spend all the extra money and/or vie for a VQ, they will be able to ride the most popular rides multiple times in a row. Also, if they really want to buy both Premier and...

Yes, well partly. In the days of paper FP, if your return time was less than 2 hours out, you could pull another FP as soon as you used that FP. If your return time was more than 2hours out, you had to wait 2hours. Also back then, many parkgoers didn't use FP, so that also changed the dynamic...

Can't speak for the other poster, but in the days of paper FP, we were often able to re-ride favorite headliners at WDW. We still can, but not nearly as much as during WDW's awesome years. A big part of doing many re-rides though was doing it late at night. Back then, MK used to regularly be...

Wow! I can barely stand to listen to the preshow once. IMO, it is just about the most annoying preshow of any attraction. Kudos to you for your tolerance! Now I've happily done BTMRR that many times...

I should add, many vintage WDW recipes- or at least similar recipes - are available in the recipe thread at the top of the WDW dining section of the forum, but many of the recipes use a shocking amount of butter/cream/cheese. We make the Boma squash soup, but cut way back on the...

A bunch Off the top of my head... The citrus salad at 'Ohana with mandarin oranges Niçoise salad at Be Our Guest- as a QS lunch! The Mickey pasta mac and cheese they used to serve in multiple locations The veggie lasagna they used to serve in the Land-before the remodel The tuna salad they...

I was responding to someone who said the paid FP wasn't criticized.

The paid FP program was also widely criticized.

Of course DAS isn't quite the same, but DAS users are also able to choose freely which LL they want to request. I am willing to bet there is some correlation to touring patterns.

Plus DAS users.

Good point. How happy will people be if they spend $150+ then a long storm closes down all the outdoor/animal/water attractions at AK? Storm closures: EE, all animal attractions, and Kali. That leaves: FoP, Dino, FotLK, Bug, and Na'vi. If the storm hits mid-day, and the people buying this...

Another alternative is that people pay for this only to discover most attractions have very short standby waits. How happy will people be if they paid an extra $150+ for empty queues?
