    MagicBand+ announced

    Correct, they withdrew pre-ordering for international guests last year unfortunately.

    News 'Disney Enchantment' coming to Magic Kingdom October 1 2021

    This May was our first time seeing DE in-person, and it was very much a one and done on our trip. When HEA was running we'd catch it multiple times during a two week stay. DE, no thanks. Just a massive sense of disappointment and being severely underwhelmed once it finished.

    Expansion Coming?

    Us Brits are being given free tickets to it as part of the current deal for 2023 bookings, so there is that.

    Dangerous Levels of Heat Index for Orlando (July 18 - Aug 3, 2022)

    You too. The one time I'm hoping that the potential rain they're forecasting does indeed arrive to clear the heat/humidity out a bit.

    Dangerous Levels of Heat Index for Orlando (July 18 - Aug 3, 2022)

    It's grim. Woke up feeling like I was in a swelteringly hot tent at a music festival. Alas, just our bedroom slowly cooking us.

    Dangerous Levels of Heat Index for Orlando (July 18 - Aug 3, 2022)

    Being a Brit living with an American wife, it feels like anything goes in my house. Even had to buy a measuring jug with 'cup' measurements on so now we can cater to both sides of the Atlantic...

    MSEP ending at Disneyland on Sept 1, WDW return in 2023?

    I believe that it's the MSEP Spirit Jersey being talked about, and I saw it being sold at a few places in WDW in May. They very much have Disneyland on them: At the time these arrived in stores somebody on these boards stated they weren't meant to end up in WDW.

    They are correct. Might be time to stop watching NCIS...

    POFQ -> Typhoon Lagoon

    The buses to Typhoon go from Disney Springs, so you'll need to head there first and transfer. With Blizzard closed, getting to Winter Summerland is going to be easiest via ride share - it's quick and won't cost much from either resort mentioned.

    Port Orleans vs Coronado Springs?

    Disney Springs buses seemed to be the worst for us in May too. The problem Destino Tower has is being the last of the 4 bus stops for the parks - staying at Ranchos meant we were second to get picked up, and on a fair few occasions the bus was full by the time it had picked up at the third stop...

    Port Orleans vs Coronado Springs?

    Agree with all of this. We stayed in the Casitas area of CSR in 2019 and at Ranchos in May this year - what a trek to the tower and the food court that was! It's a really, really nice resort and Three Bridges is fantastic, but having stayed at POR twice previously we decided that we'll go back...

    Reservation expansion

    Not necessarily made up, but it sounds like he's massively confused things at the very least.

    Savi's Workshop Reservations Unavailable for August?

    The reservations have been going online later and later, and it's a problem that guest services were aware of when I called up to book it at 60 days. Around the 50 day mark was when they started to appear and we managed to get in.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Yeah agreed, and as both of us suffer with allergies we initially thought it was that as she hadn't taken any meds for a couple of days. After two and a half years though we figured that if we were going to catch it anywhere, our luck would be that it'd be at WDW as we seem to have a bit of a...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    We didn't hear much coughing during our two weeks in Orlando, aside from a guy who fell asleep on a bus back from Disney Springs who woke himself up by choking on his own saliva. However, it turns out that my wife did catch Covid in WDW! On our last day she said that she was feeling a bit...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I was successful in this, and am super happy right now! My wife and I both rode with smiles on our faces throughout. It's a fantastic ride.

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind SPOILER Thread

    I rode a couple of hours ago and my experience was the total opposite of this. It's the most fun I've had on a ride at WDW and easily jumps into my top 3, and I could hear other guests saying similar things as we all exited. The Creations shop was packed around the Guardians merchandise too -...

    which park/resort breakfast buffetts are the old style?

    Cape May has been back to buffet since February. Boma and Crystal Palace have also been back for a while, though characters haven't yet returned to CP I believe.
