    fast pass plus with dual agendas question

    There is a 2 step process when you redeem your FP just like in the past with paper FP's. First they will scan your MagicBand or ticket at the entrance to ensure you actually have a FP and that you are within your time period and then again somewhere closer to boarding a ride vehicle. In my...

    First Mexico and Now Norway? Proof America is Getting Dumber?

    Your point is well taken and I agree about up-dating attractions. I think the original point of the post was: does a up-dating have to include Disney characters in World Showcase attractions? I understand the reason behind it but I personally don't agree with it. That is probably one of...

    FP+ reservations with Split Stay

    I am not saying that doesn't happen but as someone who goes to the parks often and usually books FP's less than 24 hours out my experience has been that except for the Frozen Meet and Greet I have often gotten FP's for even the most popular attraction. I checked earlier today for tomorrow and...

    First Mexico and Now Norway? Proof America is Getting Dumber?

    Norway did not sponsor their own pavilion. For some reason that seems to be a misunderstanding I see a lot. The Norway government gave its blessing and the crowned prince presided over the opening but Norway was actually sponsored by a group of Norwegian corporations that came together under...

    First Mexico and Now Norway? Proof America is Getting Dumber?

    4 hour wait? That is insane. There is nothing at WDW that I would wait 4 hours.

    FP+ reservations with Split Stay

    My personal opinion is that people seem to panic about the 60 day window. Except for the Frozen meet and greet there is really no reason to be up at midnight making FP reservations unless we are talking a trip over a major holiday. I am local so my FP selections tend to be the day of or the...

    Monorail beams

    The long exit platform wasn't meant to be another station but the dumping point for the expansion if a second station was built. So both stations would dump onto the current ramp. Originally the thought was EPCOT Center would be a second hub (like TTC) with a second monorail loop to the Disney...

    the cost of disney

    The bottom line is Disney charges what it does for hotel rooms because people are willing to pay for the rooms. We have been going to WDW since the 1970's. My wife and I honeymooned at the Polynesian for $70 a night. That was a long time ago and expensive at that time but well worth it for...

    Monorail beams

    The reason the EPCOT station looks like it does is because the original plan included a second station that was supposed to go to the Disney Village and Hotel plaza from EPCOT Center. When EPCOT Center was built the bases of the pylons were sunk in the ground to make it easier when the...

    FP+ reservations with Split Stay

    I don't think you have any problems. What I believe will happen is that your first reservation will open its 60 day window first and then 2nd will follow when it hits 60 days since the system sees them as 2 separate events. The best advice I can give is after you make your FP reservations you...

    First Mexico and Now Norway? Proof America is Getting Dumber?

    EPCOT has been my favorite WDW park since it opened. I think it is a beautiful park and is gorgeous at twilight and into the evening. But as the years have rolled along I have been disappointed with the direction that EPCOT has taken. I am not sure I agree with the title of this post. We...

    Average Quick SErvice cost?

    Just one thought. If you are going to do quick service stuff I would suggest that you be a little more adventurous then burgers or chicken nuggets. I posted above that we had burgers last week but honestly for the price they weren't that good. Everyone in our party commented on the burger...

    Trouble linking Hotels.com Reservation

    I am guessing is that the reservation # he got is a Hotels.com reservation code and not the actually Disney one. He should call Hotels.com and see if they have an actually Disney reservation # or perhaps he can call Disney direct and see if he has a reservation confirmed at the hotel and ask...

    Average Quick SErvice cost?

    We got a burger at Pecos Bill's last week that came with fries and it was $10.69. Add in a drink at a couple of dollars and you are looking at around $12 to $13 for a burger. Burgers, sandwiches and stuff will be in that range. If you go to a place like the food court in The Land or some of...

    My ADRs are a mess

    I don't think there is any reason you should do anything at this point. When you show up at the podium they will sort it out. I find that sometimes messing with reservations cause more problems then not touching them at all.

    Trouble linking orbitz reservation

    The system seemed to be up and down over the weekend...especially on Sunday. Tried to make FP+ reservations and kept getting error message both with the app and the website. It seemed to have sorted itself out in the late afternoon. I would try again. The system is working fine this morning.

    Poor selection of attractions on "Wildcard" fast pass?

    It is also about luck. I have gone to the parks late in the day and have been able to pick up a FP for a busy attraction.

    Fast pass + at 60 days

    Since I have never gotten up to do that I am not sure but I think I have read in the threads that it doesn't always open exactly at midnight eastern time. Some have reported later. Except for the Frozen Meet and Greet I am not sure there is any reason to stay up and book FP's unless you are...

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    Yes, we go to both. We have also stayed there and not done any parks. We love the hotel service in general. One day we stayed at the pool and just laid around and they brought around fruit, ice cream, water and stuff like that for free throughout the day and we never had to get up for a...
