Except the three that also include Express Pass, when AP discounts are available! Those are becoming farther and few between, as they go quickly, but I did see Royal Pacific for $231 in August 2025. If others are comparing to their local Holiday Inn Express, I'll still be looking at the 3.

After [redacted ] I thought the new accepted length for "manifesto" is like 2 pages? All I know is that after visiting my parents, every other year over Christmas since 2005, we spent 12/26 by popping into Epcot and DHS for the first time ever, because not only were they not blocked out for CM...

Destination D is August 29-31st. Really hoping they will try to do some synergy and at least have previews for event attendees, since I plan on going to this one.

I've been noticing decreased merchandise for a couple years now. I feel like supply chain problems gave way to people shifting from buying merchandise to buying LLs, and the two coalesced into they just don't sell as big of variety as they used to. On the Disney ornament Facebook group, people...

I have a hotel reservation, but whether we go or not is still up in the air. We were looking at September, to do our Epic Universe trip, so this would time out with that. I haven't been to a Destination event since 2014, and have been kinda interested in going back.

I was going to suggest Facebook groups, but I can see you already found one. Otherwise, make sure you have an Ebay search saved for Baby Mickey ornament. My Dad collects Disney Christmas, and some stuff has taken decades to show up, but usually everything eventually does. And keep checking...

A friend admitted, after the news broke, they were told 2 months ago during a project meeting, and had to stop themselves from crying during the meeting. I find this a weird option. I am a huge Muppets fan because I was a kid during the original show. But I was a little kid, end of Gen X...

On one of these thread, I mentioned how Disney reaches kids and realizing it's not the way it used to be. If you believe that movies, legacy television, cable television are declining in their ability to capture younger customers, you look to what is. YouTube and gaming. So I can totally see...

Risking the *waves hands around*, in a timeline and world where tariffs increase, do we have any sense on how that could affect these future construction projects? Or have they already been priced in?

I suddenly imagined the idea of a Brazil pavilion taking over the Moroccan space. Cheaper than developing one of the pads?

I literally said “is it more” implying a question. So no, I am not telling you “it’s more.” I would bet Disney’s Villains franchise does do better than Muppets, and Disney will be watching how the Universal Monsters thing works out at Epic, and Disney will look how they can get more out of...

Interesting, and that's one of the directions I thought they might take instead of Muppets. Preamble into the Villains area, and Sleepy Hollow means they don't have to change much in the area, like building facades. And the Headless Horseman does seem to have popularity via the parade even...

Disney has been studio IP motivated for so long, and Disney's consumers have changed so much with their expectations, I think the primary reaction will be, "I love [insert franchise replacing]! I didn't understand why things like the Hall of Presidents were in a Disney Park anyway. If I wanted...

We knew the entire Liberty Square concept is on the chopping block. IMO, yesterday's results will accelerate the change. It doesn't fit with the current mandates of recognizable Disney IP, and it isn't self-funding (Lightning Lanes). However, ultimately I don't think it will be Muppets, for...

While looking around at the masses while lined up for Happy Entry, seeing the lines for all the Halloween snacks, seeing the people enter the park to do nothing more than plant their picnic sheets and watch parades all day, my Dad wondered how many were Passholders. When I told him APs hadn't...

Looking back at a few pages...oh this is totally not the case now. Ridiculously, more crowded during our week. Especially anything with a Halloween food or beverage had long, long lines. TDS was mostly manageable, but busy. Disneyland was rough. Thank goodness for the package priority access...

Just got back from a week in Japan. Our arrival night we stayed at the Hilton Tokyo Bay, then a 2-night package at Fantasy Springs, followed by 5 nights at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel. We had a total of 3 days at each park, plus a day we went into Tokyo (Shinjuku Disney Store, Nakano Broadway...

My Dad’s flight also left MCO on time this morning. And I’ll be off to the airport to pick him up in about an hour.

We are leaving for Japan (TDR trip that was supposed to be Oct 2020) on Sunday. My Dad, based on fares, decided to fly to Denver from MCO early Tuesday morning. DH and I were a little annoyed he was coming so early, Thursday would have been better for us, but oh boy, is that a fortuitous...

Heat related mortality is an underappreciated concern by people. People wave it away with "air conditioning." But with power interruptions becoming more common, an aging Boomer population, and climate change like many other "I didn't imagine this could happen," we'll be hearing more about it...
