Yes, this is how I understood it will work, from the brief explanation that was shared with me. Frustration along the lines of: “How are *we* (attraction host) supposed to evaluate people, when Disney doesn’t want Guest Relations people doing it anymore?” My example of a guest who may be...

I have an online CM friend who has received training on this. They didn’t elaborate too much, but they expect this to be even worse than people have speculated. Despite this looking like taking decisions out of Guest Relations staff hands, because “they aren’t truly qualified to judge who needs...

I was able to get 2 tickets to the D23 preview, so I have an unplanned trip to WDW, lol.

The best cruise deals seem to be the ones in other parts of the world. Not a lot of families can pay for the cruise and the airfare to get there / home. When we did the first Trans-Atlantic cruise, they were almost giving it away at the end... because the flight home from Barcelona wasn't...

Which is a problem, because Disney obviously wants more people in the park, but where do you put them? What attractions can they visit? Without bumping another guest? How can you add all these new people without worsening the experience of the people who are already there, and find the...

The part you don't know is my 77 year old Dad is accompanying us. Our 2018 TDR trip, our 2023 Paris trip and this one are *his* "bucket list" trips, although I am planner, tour guide and companion. This is likely his last international trip (DH and I want to do something just the two of us for...

And to emphasize the point. I found out that Journey to the Center to the Earth and the Electric Railway will be under refurbishment during our trip. While, I am slightly disappointed about Journey being unavailable, we rode it multiple times in 2018 and I'll survive and I know we'll be...

This. I want to thank everyone for their use of spoiler text. We have a date! October 16th! So I'm trying to avoid non-logistical spoilers and just wait. So I will be trying to keep up on things like: order to ride the rides even with the wristband, and mobile ordering at the restaurants...

You might be surprised. On our first trip we had a 5 night reservation and a 1 night reservation, and when we arrived they had tied them together and so we only had to check in once. If you book the same category room, I think they try to not have to move people. They know people are building...

I can help with a few things because we just booked a 2-night package at the Fantasy Springs hotel for our trip in October! This is our second TDR trip, the first we followed the advice to skip a package because it was cheaper a la cart pricing. But the guaranteed access to Fantasy Springs and...

We went to a restaurant last week, and I was wearing my Universal Studios shirt. A server from another table came over when we were seated to say how excited they were about Epic Universe opening. I was to say the least, surprised. We are in that coveted "family from Denver, CO" demo.

So far the good to go days for CMs have matched the AP days. CMs can see them on the calendar when they go to make a reservation.

This one was surprising. I saw the news about the merchandise VQ on May 1st and my Dad wanted a reservation, but none were available (Main Entrance Pass). Then an hour later, it's a good to go day. Whatever, Disney. Why make this so annoying!

Les Halles is gonna get a lot busier!

I was poking around the Internet Archive again, looking for something else, and stumbled into a page where someone had tracked UPC and release dates for the MBBP. The Brer Set is listed with a May 1998 release, and indicates multiple versions, which may refer to the difference in eye color. I...

I was into the Disney MBBP back in the day. Trying to use the Internet Archive to look back at the old websites, but a lot of pages weren't archived. Can't seem to find one that is good with release dates, but I did find a News update from October 1998 of someone getting their order of the...

Yep. As well as what Universal tried with Jimmy Fallon and Fast and the Furious. But neither of those rides were popular enough to stress test a new system. I’m curious what they have planned for Epic Universe, as I expect Super Nintendo World is going to change the calculus somewhat on who...

You were part of the same exchange with a specific poster who did say DAS users are simply people who would have been in the standby line without it. Which I disagreed with as well and explained why. I was repeating it, to infer again, it was incorrect because Disney wouldn’t be making these...

Although… if we believe the assertion that everyone with DAS would be in the standby line without it. Or we believe Disney can honestly accommodate the needs of DAS users with different standby procedures… then it wouldn’t change anything at all. Just where individual people were before the...

Not all of them would be in the standby line. If you believe what many people, including yourself have said... if the only option available to them was the standby line... they would have to SKIP the attraction, altogether. This is the mistake that people keep making about any of the line skip...
