    Annual Pass Questions

    AP's are worth it if you are making more than one trip I think. As a Florida resident we do seasonal passes. We aren't going during the week you're going or Spring Break. Even though were local the summer heat is oppressive. We'll pick a couple of long weekends and make the trek. There are...

    I have my bands from my trip two months ago. I am going this weekend and I received an email that I have new ones waiting for me at check in. Now I would rather just keep the old ones as they are linked to my account and everything else. Can I add the new ones and book more fast passes or am...

    Upset with fastpass+ ?

    Thanks for sharing the email Disneygirl. I sent a similar email regarding my displeasure with the limits. As a pass holder and Florida resident I don't appreciate being held back and not being able to do things at my own pace with all the extra planning.

    October crowd levels....your experience please!

    Kids are in school so crowds tend to be on the lighter side. It's one of the times when Disney offers Florida resident discounts for us locals. You won't have to do much waiting except for some of the more popular rides.

    How Many Days for you - Part 9

    2 days. I had been stressing for the last few days. I had a court hearing this morning. Civil matter, I didn't do anything illegal. I won, so now I can focus and I'm excited.

    POP Century Busses

    Like he just said, buses can be unpredictable. I've never waited 40 minutes though. I've waited 20-25 minutes for a bus and seen two buses arrive at the same time. It's recommended that you give yourself an hour for a reservation.

    Oh no!... Columbus day!

    Columbus Day is not one of the holidays that Disney sees a large increase in crowds. I've been on MLK, Presidents, Memorial, and Veterans. Memorial gets a little busier than the others, but very manageable especially if you arrive early. I haven't gone on Labor Day in over ten years so it...

    How do you like to book?

    We're Florida residents so it's not too hard to drive 3.5 hours. We've done spur of the moment trips in the slow season. Lately we book when the Florida resident rates come out because even the value resorts aren't such a value anymore. We'll pick some dates down the road. Sometimes it's...

    Which park would Disney have loved the most if he still were alive?

    That's why he bought so much land in central Florida. He didn't want those visual eye sores and people to be on the Astro orbiter for example and be able to see highway traffic.

    We're moving?!!

    What do you have a room only or package? I only book a room reservation and I've had to make changes whether it be moving back the trip or canceling a day. I've done it about a week out and no issues. Room only reservations can be changed with only a 5 day notice. I just did it Saturday for...

    Which park would Disney have loved the most if he still were alive?

    In late 1965, he announced plans to develop another theme park to be called Disney World a few miles southwest of Orlando. Disney World was to include "the Magic Kingdom", a larger, more elaborate version of Disneyland. It would also feature a number of golf courses and resort hotels. The heart...

    Attractions that would signal the end of Disney

    I agree. the animatronics that go into Pirates and Mansion are incredible. On 20 you could see the string that would move the sharks and the wire holding up the fish. I understood it was underwater but it didn't seem to have the Disney "wow factor." It bother me that it went.

    Biggest Eyesore at WDW?

    I can't stand primeval whirl. No theming what so ever. It looks like it was about 4:45 in the afternoon and they just drew some stuff on a storyboard so they could call it a day.

    Which park would Disney have loved the most if he still were alive?

    MK. Yes it's generally a copy of Disneyland, but the whole idea was to keep the good stuff and fix the things that weren't done properly at Disneyland. While EPCOT was his dream it was built into theme park and not the model city he envisioned.
