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

    It would be cool if this show utilized music from some iconic MK attractions, like CoP, Mansion, CBJ, Tiki Room, etc. or even past shows like Wishes but I’m assuming it will stick to movies. Still exciting though! Any guesses on what songs will be featured? I really appreciated that HEA squeezed...

    Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

    Well Studios is pretty dead at night as it is. People seem to clear out quickly once they’ve ridden Rise.

    Everglazed Donuts and Coldbrew coming to Disney Springs

    The toppings on the specialty donuts were too much for me, and the donuts themselves were just okay imo. Found myself mentally comparing Everglazed w/ Vodoo and definitely prefer Vodoo by a mile. You do get your money's worth, though. The donuts are massive and covered with all kinds of stuff...

    New employee questions

    If she was hired on PT she could put in for FT transfers immediately (as soon as she has access to the Hub) but if she was hired on FT, which it seems a lot of Housekeepers were, she'll have to stay there a full year. The only other option is if she ends up being physically unable to perform the...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    It isn't enough to wear a mask on your own. It's a collective effort, and if the people around you aren't either vaccinated or taking the proper precautions (masks, distancing, etc.) you're still at risk. Unfortunately in this situation, I think the safest bet for unvaxxed immunocompromised...

    News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

    I worked them back in 2016. There were 25(ish?) glow carts at MK (not including the Tomorrowland ones, which operated under a different leadership team) and they usually all did high numbers, especially the ones on MS and in the castle hub. I’d say upwards of $20K per night depending on crowds?

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    Pretty sure Villains After Hours was close to $150. There are fewer things to do but also nowhere near as many people in the park, so they charge to compensate.

    Has "ubering around" gotten too expensive?

    As someone who lives in the Orlando area (very close to the parks) and Ubers around Disney often, it was at its worst in 2020 and has been getting progressively better over the past few months. Back in fall and winter it was so hard to get Ubers I would have to schedule them 24 hours in advance...

    News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

    The original job ad in April was an umbrella call for Attractions, Merch, QS and Custodial but the former two positions filled up after maybe two weeks. The interview slots were every 30 minutes from 8AM-8PM IIRC and most were hired on the spot, so there were definitely hundreds (if not...

    News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

    Still nothing concrete on Galactic Spectacular, right? Would be pleasantly surprised if Studios got an improved fireworks show of its own, maybe something incorporating SW along with other anchoring IPs of the park like Indie, Toy Story, etc. and paying homage to some classics from GMR? W/ Star...

    Thoughts on when Plaza Ice Cream will reopen?

    Bummer since the Confectionery will probably be down for a good few months as well. Hopefully at least by the 50th

    Thoughts on when Plaza Ice Cream will reopen?

    Sorry if this has already been discussed recently elsewhere but any word on when the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor will reopen? Missing it like crazy lately :confused: I've heard the reason for the closure was that the kitchens are too small to socially distance (same for Casey's as well) but if...

    How long is the wait for Gideon's?

    If you get there before it opens on a weekday you'll wait 45 minutes to an hour, so that's usually what I try to do! Otherwise it'll be several hours (anywhere from 1.5 to 5+ depending on the crowds at Springs) and you'll probably be given a comeback time in the virtual queue.

    News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

    I was just rehired & had traditions right away but had to wait a week for my Day 2 and another week and a half to start OTJ training :confused: Trainers definitely seem to be stretched very thin at certain locations. Pretty sure as of right now they're only allowed to pair one trainer with one...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    I've always thought Wakanda would be a great fit at Epcot not because of its geographical location but b/c it's the most technologically advanced society in the MCU - plenty of opportunity for edutainment. IMO if there had to be a Wakanda land at Epcot it should be an offshoot of FW rather than...

    California Adventure vs Epcot

    Shocked DCA is even on the table here. I know Epcot is in a state of flux at the moment and FW is walled over during construction, but WSC alone rivals any themed areas DCA has to offer. Epcot is also on the road to recovery so to speak (with new attractions and a refreshed FW coming, plus the...

    Can I ask... how much were non Florida resident AP's prior to all this?

    Yeah, I thought $900-$1100+ looked steep for FL Resident APs, I paid much less for mine in 2019. The Gold ($719) was a good happy medium for me but there are lower tiers as well. And also worth noting FL residents can opt in for a monthly payment plan. But obviously all of this is subject to...

    Pre-Show & Live Show Return Tracker

    I did Muppetvision on the 17th and the preshow was being used as a walkthrough area. Has that changed since???
