    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    This actually was my original reason for jumping in to this thread, I am very curious how this might impact the WDW experience?

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    exactly this. Disney should stay quite , let DeSantis have his moment to gain credibility for an eventual presidential or senate run, and wait for the repeal in a few months when the hubbub is over and the political spotlight has moved on to the next "outrage".

    End of August or early September 2022?...

    Last August was low due to the Covid surge I would not expect to see those types of crowds again. August 2021 crowd levels were like Fall 2001 crowds post 9/11. I am going this August and I anticipate "busy season" level crowds. August was our go to time to visit for years and even before...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I generally agree with that sentiment, however I think benefits of deals like this for the public are sometimes worth it. In the case of WDW the deal they got essentially created a whole industry in Florida and built the entire Orlando area's economy. I recall visiting Orlando in the early 80s...

    I think you would need to prove this was to silence fee speech and for no other legitimate public purpose, but not I'm not a lawyer

    Is a WDW vacation worth it now?

    many of you seem to be older adults. It's ok to have outgrown a theme park and for your tastes to have changed. I am having trouble discerning how much of the unhappiness is because of the crowds and whatnot and how much is just folks who are burnt out of Disney, or have outgrown it. That is...

    First time WDW

    I hope this does not inflame anyone so I will try to say it in as neutral a way as is possible. but if you are concerned about the pandemic Florida is not a place where you will find that the masses are particularly concerned about it and it may not be a comfortable destination for you. But...

    First time WDW

    Honestly if you are two adults I would switch your schedule around a bit. I'd suggest 1 week in disney, 1 week for other parts of florida (rent a car) like KSC and St Augustine, and then end with 1 week in the keys. Key West is a great adult vacation destination, lots of fun bars and wild...

    5 night resort reservation can I get a 7 day ticket?

    Hi Everyone, after the pandemic twice postponed a WDW visit I am now planning on going this summer (and paying about 50% more for it!). During past visits I would make a package reservation with say 4 nights in a hotel with a 7 day park ticket. I would then get another night or two at a...

    Pre-Trip That is it. That is IT! I've had it! (Update: Canceling Trip) - Update 2: I have two Tickets for Boo Bash...

    How were you able to get around the "non transferable" aspect of the boo bash tickets?

    Pre-Trip That is it. That is IT! I've had it! (Update: Canceling Trip) - Update 2: I have two Tickets for Boo Bash...

    I too canceled a trip because of the covid numbers in Florida, and also have boo bash tickets. I got the same response that the unused ticket value can be credited toward a future ticket purchase. I hope I can use the money I spent for tix for next years Halloween party when hopefully my...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    I am canceling a trip because even with the mask mandate Orlando seems like an unsafe destination for my unvaccinated little kids right now and its just a theme park after all, it will be there next year. I said it before but folks are very presumptious that everyone makes the same decisions...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    Are there many indoor guest spaces at WDW that are not air conditioned? Serious question, but I can't think of any.

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    Wow, This thread went off the rails. Based on the new cdc guidance, my bet is there will be no changes at wdw other than perhaps "recommending" everyone mask up indoors. Personally I have decided to wait another year until my kids can get vaccinated. I've seen too many people die or have...

    Day of week for each park? Help needed!

    A few years back Disney used to make crowd information available on their website but no longer. I have found dads guide to wdw , https://dadsguidetowdw.com/crowds.html to be relatively accurate for our trips but as others have said historical patterns don't mean much now,with the pandemic and...

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    I have tix for Aug 20th, I know they are non-refundable but has anyone managed to get a "not a refund" refund, such as an account credit or disney gift card? Changing circumstances have led to me rescheduling the rest of my Florida vacation till next summer and I am hoping to find a way to avoid...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    To clarify, I have kids who are too young for the vaccine. It seems many on these forums are "adult fans of Disney" with older kids or no kids. and also a Disney forum in general is not likely representative of the average visitor. So my basic point is that I think many folks on this forum are...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    I'm on the flip side of this, I have an upcoming reservation. If they don't go back to indoor masks I'm rescheduling. I suspect just as many people feel the way I do as feel the way you do. I don't think it's reasonable to assume the presence r absence of a new mask mandate is going to kil...
