Agree Completely. I am all about planning our trips in as much detail as possible and KNOWING that we are likely to have a good time. Disney is now moving in a direction to where planning is minimal and more so with the latest change to Genie+; every night, every morning, every day, will be...

I hate to say it...but get ready for disappointment and go with low expectations. So many good things have gone south since 2013. Better read up on Disney Genie. Also, no package delivery back to resort, only trams are at Magic Kingdom, no Fantasmic yet... I am afraid the "diminishment list"...

Because he deserves it! Bob "the Disney Destroyer" Chapek.

Yes, you must make a reservation in advance for a specific park on each day of your trip. You may can park-hop later in the day. Unfortunately, that is one new reality of Disney.

Let's hope you are correct. I am not so sure he won't survive.

Welcome to the Chapek era...

Just another example of how Disney sucks these days. Anyway, no issue for us. We will likely want to check out of Coronado Springs early so that we can get over to Disney Springs when they open and then that afternoon go check into the Universal Portofino Bay Hotel.

Hmmm....and just what do you think is happening with Genie+?

WDWRR is a major ride that occupies a constant large number of people. I look forward to riding it again and it will likely help relieve some of the other wait rimes. Hope it is running come our planned Disney/Universal trip in December.

Not sure what you said that I could even take the wrong way. :) Trust me when I say that we are going with lowered expectations. On this trip, we plan to go 1-day in each park and see if Genie+ is any good for us or not. I hate mobile order and will only use it if I must (which I know I will)...

Can't blame you. I concur that the Disney experience is falling fast and unfortunately shows no signs of hitting bottom. We are still planning to go but will cut our trip in half and spend the other half at Universal Studios...where you really do get more for your $$$ nowadays.

Unfortunately, I am afraid it likely would not matter much if he would or would not have liked it.

I am definitely one of those disenchanted fans. I am 50/50 now on canceling Coronado Springs and planning our next trip to simply stay off-site. I think I can go to Disney and be okay with not riding any of the good rides if I know that all I paid for is a basic ticket. This is a tremendous...

Please keep it up! Saying or seeing anything negative about good old "Bean Counter Chapek" will always bring a smile to my day. I even got to vote against him with my Disney stock. Too bad I don't own enough to make a difference...but still another smile. :) I voted against everything the...

I agree that this hits the nail on the head. We have stayed Club Level at Contemporary (multiple times), Yacht Club, and Animal Kingdom Lodge. While there were some nice amenities, we as Park Commandos basically got some breakfast and then came back to the late-night desserts...which were...

More cost cutting. Never put anything past Chapek...

There is already a much longer thread about this. Of course, it is permanent.

Haven't you heard? Chapek wants to install toll booths at all the entrances to Walt Disney World. He figures he can charge just to enter the property. Then you can decide what resort, park and/or additional fees you wish to pay for once you are inside.

Chapek strikes again! 2022: Get ready for the year of a thousand cuts. That is his goal anyway.

Pitiful discount. Just plain pitiful...
