    What do you think about the 7DMT?

    FWIW it's highly themed, has great show scenes, but is kind of a letdown due to the length and lack of any thrills. But for young ones I think it is a great ride. I wouldn't wait more than 20-30 minutes myself, but if I had little ones it is probably a must do attraction.

    News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests

    This is a positive for guests of deluxe resorts that pay the highest rates. Since most of the posts on this site have been critical, including mine, lately of Disney practices they deserve credit when credit is due. It certainly doesn't feel fair considering that previously all guests had a...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Wow. I really did not know that. Then they are sitting on what many consider one of the best SW stories outside of the OT.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Maybe Tusken Raiders, but I think you've covered the prominent OT characters. If you open it up to the Clone Wars you can add a whole host of alien species including Dathomirians and Kel Dor. Dathomirians would be cool.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    :D Even worse. I feel like I am transported to the events in the Clone Wars. I am on some budget star cruise and the inept Jedi with their holier than thou attitude will somehow while they are chasing Darth maul/Count Dooku/General Grevious or whomever and cause mayhem enough that the Halycon is...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Someone please call BioWare or any other competent videogame developer to create better teasers than that crap. Thank god Halo Infinite dropped yesterday. I just can't anymore. I gave that video from a couple of days ago the benefit of the doubt eventhough I thought it was just "meh." This just...

    2023 Points Charts released

    It's savanna view or bust for me at DAKL. Anywhere else I could care less, although, I do use Touring Plans to try and avoid less than optimal views e.g. Parking lots. I can understand why folks would want a nicer view, but I simply have an aversion to spending more for a theme park, lake view...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Agreed. I mentioned this earlier and someone quoted me the TP average crowd level for October at below 5 or something similar. I figured I must have misremembered how hot and crowded it was and why we decided never to return in October. So here is the actual crowd levels for October 14-21, 2017...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    This post has caused me PTSD! I feel like I am studying for the SATs all over again. This is too much... :)

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I have been to WDW in October once in 2016. It was as hot, and as crowded if not more than the Summer. We have never been back in October. I am almost positive that the ever increasing crowds in October is one reason why DVC changed the point charts so that for 2022 both the traditional summer...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    👍. I would add though that some may find the perceived value of Disney dining/parties to be equally unappealing. This may lead guests to choose Genie+/ILL as an alternative. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Agreed. What I left out was that I think there could be more availability for restaurants, parties, and other upcharges. I should have been more succinct that I think the guest behavior in terms of what is most important to most guests (rides) will not change. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    If it makes my vacation better by reducing crowds, making touring more efficient, more fun, and more relaxing then I am all for it, and will gladly pay for Genie+ and ILL. However, I highly doubt that will be the case. I think the uptake on both products will be higher then expected. I don't...

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    I couldn't agree more on the vloggers POV being better. I watched a vlogger after the livestream, and the pyro becomes much more impactful. However, the visuals become less impactful because of the view point, but I think in the end there is no substitute for seeing the show in-person. That...

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    Agreed, but Pete is fickle, and you can never forget that Disney butters his bread.

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    Wow. That was really average... I watched on the live stream, so I am not sure how much better it is in person, but for my family this is a one and done. We will see it next year, and probably never again. Sad considering we never missed Reflections. Oh well.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I don't even know what to think anymore, and I suppose I am the point where I don't care. I feel like the program is straight forward, but at the same time I can't shake the feeling that it is not as simple as Disney makes it out to be. There are so many legitimate questions that I think Disney...

    150 Point Minimum Requirement for Membership

    I think the volume issue, coupled with the price and direct expiration date is why OKW recorded their largest point sales according to dvcnews.com.

    150 Point Minimum Requirement for Membership

    FWIW I agree that those prices are inflated. I just think that for OKWe direct the difference may not be as big as some think when comparing prices. Of course this only applies if you want OKWe as the other resorts tend to have a much larger % difference based on the direct purchase price. In...

    150 Point Minimum Requirement for Membership

    I recently (last 30 days) purchased direct at OKW for $159/pp (It is now $170/pp). With a December Use Year I received a fully loaded contract with a 2057 expiration date. According to DVC resale market estimate a 150 point contract fully loaded expiring in 2057 is $138/pp. A difference of $21...
