I think this is where you and I differ. While I know the parks well enough and generally can game plan around whatever Disney management throws at me, I have *always* accepted I am just a wallet to Disney. They are a major billion dollar corporation, beholden to their shareholders. It may have...

That I’ll give you about the consistency. We didn’t have a problem at rope drop but we waited 90+ minutes to catch a bus from AK back to Caribbean Beach at about 230 pm on Nov 1st. The Disney buses have never been perfect, but I had never experienced that before. Nor had I ever talked to...

Ehh, this part is relative. I am a natural born rope dropper. 5:30-6:30 am wake up times are the norm for my family, so getting up every day at that time isn’t super upsetting to me as we are always there for park opening. (Once Upon a December 2019, we were even crazy enough to get up at 330 am...

Because making mountains out of molehills is something we are very good at doing on these threads 😎

Oh I absolutely acknowledge that. So then, based on your statement, it would seem you lean towards this an overcrowding issue (for the capacity they have currently) than a G+ issue? As I said, I would not go directly to Disney during a holiday week for that reason, but what I’m trying to...

Do you feel this is a function of G+ or more just it being a holiday week? It could be a mix but having experienced a nightmare July 4th once, we learned a long time ago to never go during a major holiday. Christmas is our favorite time of year at Disney, but we always go either during an off...

You make a fair point, as I too have encountered my share of entitled guests, but I would still say visitors as a whole are generally ok behaved. The bad apples always stand out. How many times have you had neutral experiences with other guests? Or are you constantly bothered by the people...

Definitely agree here. I like Universal’s Unlimited Express Pass a whole bunch but let’s not pretend that Universal and WDW are the same beast. I imagine they could only sell quite a limited number of truly ultimate fast passes or access each line once fast passes. And the competition would be...

That’s why CMs will be present…? To assist guests…? This… this isn’t hard. No one needs to understand Larping rules, just the concept of taking your turn. And it’s Disney. Everyone waits to take their turn. I’m sure if they don’t get to pull the light speed lever, there are alternative things...

I’ll be down. So long as I get to wear that stylin’ bowl on the top of my head ;)

Fully agree here. Reading that post, I was very confused to read that apparently ‘everyone’ wants to go back to ‘Point of Ride’ FP. Ahhh… Nope. I loathed having to criss cross the parks back in the day. I was the ‘runner’ for my family and man, running did get tiring after awhile. It was...

Im generally quite excited about what I’ve read I’ll get to experience, and even more excited to experience it with my father. The video didn’t dissuade me from that. And I’m not worrying I’m gonna waste my money based on it. But in general, I’m a person who always expects everything with a...

I don’t know, at least in this case. Is 105 seconds of D’Amaro doing ‘obvious PR is obvious’ enough to make that call? I have easy frame of reference for most everything at Disney. You name the thing, I’ve probably done it at some point. But I’ve never participated in something theoretically...

Aight. I’m one of those people who has a deposit down… and I’m gonna be honest, the judgement on those who have chosen to do the StarCruiser have been pretty harsh, considering no one has even experienced this yet. You can think I’m wasting my money. That’s your opinion and you are entitled to...

Nice. I missed Fantasmic! when we were there at the beginning of the month. We stayed to watch Disney Movie Magic one of the nights but felt sad not being able to watch Mickey battle some villains. (Though, I’ll honestly note Movie Magic was the most chill delight I think I’ve ever experienced...

So what you’re saying is we are all getting the world’s most expensive participation trophy? 😝 (I’m still looking forward to trying this, I promise, haha)

To each their own! MSEP is my excuse to go ride some rides while they have low wait times. I grew up with SpectroMagic, so MSEP was pretty meh to me the first time I watched it. I’d take PTN any day, even though I know it’s not the most well loved parade. Least it’d be something new for WDW, if...

I fully intend to go to the Dark Side 🤪😈 Should be interesting. Not sure if I really want a full length robe and hat, looking at the merch. I’ll settle for the extra special “data pad” if there isn’t a T-shirt to buy 😙

I ride Imagination once per trip to honor the original version… which was my favorite ride in all parks 😢Man, I miss that ride.

I have been quite heartened by the amount of parents bringing their children in the be vaccinated into my office. And I’m boosterized… I don’t worry so much about Covid in my ‘regular’ job as a Family Med doc, but I sure as hell am seeing it more than I wish to while working Urgent Care. We...
