    One restaurant on Disney Property wins Michelin Star

    Yet there are plenty of other threads on here from people posting about how frustrated they were that they couldn't "resort-hop" during the pandemic.

    Why no simple dark rides in Galaxy's Edge?

    The Little Mermaid doesn't even have the fancy technology. Its the "story" which is wrong on that ride. The technology is simple omnimover with simple animatronics. The component parts make it a D ticket like Pooh. The issue is you are just passing by scenes from the movie, you aren't seeing it...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    There are plenty of Marvel characters that Universal can currently use but either haven’t used or just added in the most basic way such as a restaurant or small ride.

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    The bigger issue with Pandora was the time of announcement through to time of opening was so long. As Universal doesn’t make official announcements until construction is almost finished it makes all their projects feel quicker. Although the construction time might not be too bad, overall...

    Yep someone Indy is 25 minutes that feels like 45 and Nemo was 45 that felt like 25

    Monsters Cafe has permanently closed

    I thought if that is Minions then the existing one will close?

    Monsters Cafe has permanently closed

    I don't think one attraction and one quick service restaurant would be "a quarter of the park"!

    Disney parks going Vegetarian?

    I'd rather see more true vegetarian food made with beans/pulses and vegetables rather than fake meat.

    I'm planning my first trip! Best tips & recommendations?

    I’ve never planned Seaworld, it’s much easier to go with the flow there compared to Disneyworld.

    New “High Surf” B&M Coaster for 2023

    I stated no other park in FLORIDA is offering. Comparisons to regional parks is pointless as effectively in Florida Seaworld and Busch Gardens are the regional parks. There will be a large number of people who don't live near a coaster park and will tag on Seaworld and/or BGT to a Disney or...

    New “High Surf” B&M Coaster for 2023

    Due to the issues around keeping whales in captivity they have to abandon their old identity. Seaworld can't compete with Disney & Universal for immersion, so why not offer something no other park in Florida can offer?

    News Disney transforms Magic Kingdom's famous purple wall to celebrate PRIDE Month at Walt Disney World and will donate merch profits to support LGBTQIA+

    I didn’t say they did. As I said, having hundreds/thousands of LGBT+ people turning up in red shirts for 30 years shows there is a large number of people coming to the Magic Kingdom for that reason. I think there is a multitude of reasons why Disney have increased their support of Pride, it’s...

    News Disney transforms Magic Kingdom's famous purple wall to celebrate PRIDE Month at Walt Disney World and will donate merch profits to support LGBTQIA+

    I don’t know, but don’t forget that GayDays has been running at the Magic Kingdom for 31 years. A group of people turning up wearing red shirts in your park all on the same day will help go someway to getting things noticed.

    Are MagicBands Needed?

    WDW uses NFC not barcodes. So instead of bringing up the barcode and scanning, you need to bring up the right ticket, tap it, get the next ticket, tap and so on. Not sure if it takes much longer or not, but it is different.

    Will Disney reactivate refillable mugs after the 14 day span?

    Think you could get them reactivated but the price is the same, don't think there is a discount for bringing back mugs for re-activation. They are valid for length-of-stay so if your stay is more than 14 nights they will reactivate, but a new stay means paying again.

    Are MagicBands Needed?

    Its not hugely more complicated than 2012. Back then you would have got a plastic key to the world card (if onsite) with a magnetic stripe or a cardboard ticket if offsite. Now you get either a plastic card with an NFC chip (like a contactless bank card) in it, or use the NFC feature of your...

    Are MagicBands Needed?

    Again, I haven't experianced it first hand, my last WDW trip was in 2016 with MagicBands. But if you feel confident, tapping (not scanning, these are NFC passes at WDW not barcodes) all the passes from the Apple Wallet then go for it, sounds like you've made it work elsewhere.

    Are MagicBands Needed?

    Also (although I've not visited myself) it sounds like using tickets on iPhone is fine if you have one phone per person, you just load your own ticket and tap. Its groups where all five tickets are on one phone that are the issue. Imagine it like having paper tickets in a wallet, tapping your...
