Depends on the person. I’m an elderly man, who has little or no exercise. But with Fastpass+ and ADR, I could hit MK, enjoy 12 attractions, eat two QS and a TS meal, walk about 9 miles a day… and feel fine. Fastpass+ and ADR let me do everything I wanted in a day. And the same for the other...

Ever since freedom day (divorce), I’ve traveled to WDW twice a year. Covid reduced my 2020 visits to just one. In 2021, I blew out my vacation budget to one extended trip with my girlfriend. Since that trip, Disney announced the Genie+ program. I recognize it appealing to a certain group of...

I would say, prior to the Genie program, the current WDW was better❗️ I don’t understand the complaints about spontaneity, having to make park reservations, etc… First, making advance reservations makes my trip more enjoyable. The stress of hoping to get the attractions I desire is gone. And I...

I was probably on the flight with you! And maybe even the bus!! I’d get off at the resort and immediately got on the bus for my first park. Didn’t waste a day!

Ummm, Epcot is in Walt Disney World. I think you’re making a common mistake. Walt Disney World is the entire experience. It contains four theme parks, two water parks, a shopping and dining center, a sports center, two mini golf parks, two 18 hole golf courses and more. You probably went to...

Yup! I would have pulled those metal buttons. You want zero metal near the magic band antenna.

IMHO, you’re missing much of Pandor (and Galaxies Edge). Both have superior food (Galaxies Edge has two restaurants. Ronto Roasters has delicious fare). The flora in Pandora is amazing. Plus Pandora has great cocktails (Galaxies Edge has blue and green milk, both dove and hawk versions. Plus if...

I disagree. FP+ has increased the spontaneity for me. And “massive planning”? You must have trouble planning your days even at home. Plan for three activities and even if they are one after another, there’s plenty of time in between to be spontaneous. Because of FP+, I’ve done things at WDW that...

I read all sorts of horror stories on this forum. With one exception, I’ve never had a disaster. 1) I rarely if even stay to park closing 2) I never try to get on the first buses to anywhere 3) I’ve always got the first bus to arrive. The one disaster was at Animal Kingdom where there was an...

Yes, but without FP+, there will be an additional 4,00 to 7,000 guests in line. With FP+, you can experience more in the parks increasing your satisfaction. Disney is NOT a destination that can be fully experienced without investing in advance planning. Don’t complain if you can’t or won’t do...

But there will be more people in the Standby lines, eliminating any decrease in wait times possible by eliminating FP+. If 4-7FP+ to every Standby person, your wait time could theoretically increase 5x to 7x…

I totally agree. These terms have come to be nothing but propaganda and are misused. I ignore any post that uses propaganda terms and cannot intelligently present their viewpoint. In general or specifically in regard to Disney. My issues are threefold. 3) Advertising products with hype...

You didn’t need a reservation? How did you book your trip? Disney site, third-party site, authorized Disney planner? Depending on how you purchased your vacation, DME reservations may have been made for you. I almost always booked through a DTP. And she took care of making a reservation for...

I and others recommended ScooterBug. Glad it’s going to work out for you.

Oops, my bad! I always booked my trip through a DATA, which included flights. She the made the ME reservation for me. So, it appeared to me to be automatic.

My thought is that you’ll have to pick it up yourself. The service from the airport to your resort room was with another company. Not related to the bus transportation. That contract expired a while ago and was not renewed. That’s why ME currently does not provided luggage delivery to your...

I agree. I never even thought that as I got older, relationships would evolve to the point where I’d be exhausted waiting for my girlfriend to have her false teeth fitted.

But people who enter DHS via park hopper cannot get into ANY boarding group. So groups are only available to people with a valid DHS reservation for the day.

I had to make a reservation in April. People without a reservation waited hours to get in a bus.

This is correct. You need to pay for ANY MB. You can re-use any MB you may already have. Plus, Magic Express is no longer automatic. You need to contact them and make a reservation. Otherwise, you may have to wait several hours to get on a bus. I always book through an authorized Travel...
