Disney isn't making any profit when guests turn to resale contracts and point rentals. Right now... I can purchase 270pts at Vero Beach for $51/pt. At 7mo... I will have the exact same [DVC resort] options... as owners who just paid $165/pt for VGF. Disney didn't pocket my $14k+ investment...

Absolutely agree with 'low point' options. For a week in Sept... studio points currently range from 69 to 148. I'm more curious about how you would 'buy in' at the moderate level. Current new-buyers have point options ranging from $115/pt at HH and VB to $165/pt for GFV and BLT (minimum of 100...

Im having a wicked hard time trying to 'place' these balloons... Your arrow points directly to the driving range, with more holes/4S behind it... I can't imagine they'd 'touch' that area due to Golden Oaks. There doesn't seem to be a lot of land just north of the parking lot... But the 4S...

So does that put the ballons between FW (Big Pine Trail) and the Golf Course?

This is my biggest concern... It only takes one blog post, touring plan site update, and guide book addition for this information to hit the 'masses'. The "in the know" guest may not be the majority of Disney's business... but they can certainly capitalize on situations like this. If I...

Can someone refresh my memory... What do those glass windows 'normally' overlook? I see the construction screens at the moment... will that view change? Just curious... Thanks!

As an only child of a single parent... this is appalling to me. Now I understand... this is 'no different' than the current ADR system. Everything is based off table size and maximizing seating capacity. There's just something so sour about being turned away, in front of others, who have the...

YouTube! A simple 'Disney World [or Disneyland] Vacation' search provides hours of video trip reports! Sounds odd... I know... but I can never get enough. Bosox2001 (Youtube) has probably my favorite vacation videos. He totally captures everything a Disney Vacation 'is' and should be. All 4...

There's been a first hand account of a guest walking up around 11:15a... and receiving a 2p return slot... This would lead me to believe... that any guest arriving after 11:15a... had at least a 2+ hour return time. I'd take that a step further and say by 12:30p... no return cards were left...

Perhaps I'm guilty of supporting the 'right' to stand in line: But I'd like to know why BOG's wait should be 30-40min.... yet it's now closer to 120mins... I'd like to know why guests walking up to a QS location at 2p... are being turned away... even though it doesn't close for another...

I agree... Its already been 'officially' hinted that Disney wants to incorporate more quick service 'experiences' into FP+/MDE... I could absolutely see BOG lunch going FP+ exclusive.

I don't understand... If you're HUNGRY at 11:10... why would you "hold off" for an HOUR & FORTY minutes?! If I walk up... and the waits 30mins... usually it's a quick "what do you want to do" discussion. Some will wait... some will move on... but we're all hungry and would like to eat! I...

The only glaring discrepancy I see... is the automatic assumption you'll wait "120mins" for Soarin'. At 3:30p (for article comparison purposes) the wait for Soarin' was 75mins. It's a crowd level of 8 today, and EPCOT is not recommended due to evening EMH. Yesterday was also an "8"... with...

Here's a well detailed article about the test yesterday... http://themeparkuniversity.com/critical-studies/standby-return-test-continues-soarin/

Hmm... nothing but a "star" for the MDE mobile app... nor is anything listed on Easy/waits... that's weird... any chance you could link it? Also interesting is the "0" minute wait for Living with the Land compared to the 40min yesterday around this time.

There is no current wait time posted for Soarin'... no wait times have been posted since Tuesday

Yes... and based off a report yesterday... Soarin' did re-open their queue at 7pm. A 3:30p arrival at Soarin' provided you with a return time of 6p-7p. I'm assuming any guest arriving after, let's say 5p... was told to simply return after 7p.

I can't comment on in-park experience... but based off MDE... Soarin' has yet to post a wait time today. Yesterday... it never posted one. According to another site, wait times were also never posted for testing with A&E. 'Current' wait times have TT @ 100mins and SSE @ 35mins... everything...

In a theme park that purposely schedules fireworks and evening shows AT closing time?! Epcot closes at 9p... 12mins of Illuminations... and than the onslaught of thousands of guests moving forward from the back of the park... stopping at shops, taking pictures, etc. If you were to get in line...

Great example... and a likely scenerio. Guests spent the day at another park, hop over to ride Soarin', make a 7p ADR, and watch Illuminations at 9p... At least with the "old" ticket system... you had the OPTION to wait in line for 90mins or return during your window to "front of the line" if...
