I tend to agree. I think their decision to delay construction on the park was shortsighted. The original opening date was 2023. If we include typical delays then maybe it would have opened in 2024. Now we will be lucky to see the park in the next 5-7 years. This is just pure speculation on...

Possibly, but they sure are doing everything they can NOT to encourage people to return.

Totally legitimate rationale, observation , and concern. The issue is that don't I think Disney cares that you go from 3 trips to 1 trip. They have plenty of people to replace you and your family with, and by reducing the amount of times you go, they may reduce the complaints. From what I...

I empathize with those who believe this is a big blow for all the various reasons stated in the past 36 pages. I have only taken DME once (1/2020) and I thought it was a great option. I totally could see why folks like the service. However, I am not sure why folks always get bent out of shape...

I'm not surprised. It was like this in August. Everyone was saying how great it was to go to WDW after the reopening and we showed up mid-August to ridiculous crowds to the point where I was questioning the lack of fastpass. It was clear to me then that it was only going to get worse.

I know these layoffs are employees that are not necessary due to lack of demand/work outside of the resorts themselves, but I wonder if this is a foreshadowing on significant increases in dues. Outside of higher cleaning costs, there is also decrease in rentals, and I believe additional costs...

There is a function in the touring plans app where it allows you to rate how the parks "feel." I also will note that all of the days are rated as a "1" for my trip which ends this Saturday. IMO there seems to be a disconnect from what is clearly a massive decline in visitors, and the real...

lol. I feel like this is the beginning of a bad lifetime movie, where this post gets used against you after your Sister-in-law mysteriously disappears!

I want to be clear that the crowds are not what they were pre-pandemic. I am only making an observation from my time at DHS, DAK, and MK in the past five days, that the theme (parks are empty) is not true. Rides can or cannot be walk-ons. Times vary from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. I know I waited...

I think it is hit or miss. From what I have read on here and other forums/news sites I think your experience is probably more typical, but the "youtuber/vlogger" empty park theme is misleading. Yesterday, I was watching the local Florida news and they repeated the same theme (that the parks...

BWI and DCA have both lowered the parking rates as they have closed economy parking. At BWI you can park in the closest parking lot for $12/day, and I parked in the covered daily parking lot for $8/day which is a quick shuttle bus ride. There really are some plusses if you are willing to travel.

I think that is why Disney needs to get the message out, that if you travel from point A (Origin) to point B (MCO), Disney will take care of the rest i.e. masks mandates, safety, comfort, etc.

Makes sense. I will say I was pleasantly surprised by how short our flight was from BWI to MCO (I think they call it OIA in Florida which I don't understand). It is usually over two hours, and we made the flight in about 1:45 minutes. Just goes to show you how much traffic there is in the air...

Thanks. We have extras, so we will definitely try switching out.

I agree. We are here now and wearing a mask is tough. It is so hot, and wearing a mask just adds to the uncomfortableness. However, if it was cooler, maybe less than 80 degrees, I think it would be fine. But it will depend on a particular persons comfort level. I do think the longer the...

I'm here at WDW staying at AKL. If you're an AP holder who will go an hour before close then maybe you can experience those empty youtuber moments. However, I was at DAK on Saturday and it was packed. If you saw the crowds you would think it was 2019. I waited longer for Dinosaur then I ever...

Crossing my fingers this doesn't last longer than today. I am a resort guest, so I have every park available if I need to change a date. If the ROTR is down tomorrow, I may need to change our DHS date to next week.

ok. So does anyone know how long the ride will be down? Will it be working tomorrow or soon? I have a park pass for Friday and if ROTR is not working there is no need for me to be at DHS. So, with no park hopping I think Disney needs to be on top of whether or not they can get a ride going...

I remember speaking with my DVC guide a year or two ago, and was told Riviera would be on par with the Four Seasons. I have not been to the Four Seasons Orlando or Riviera, but the pool pics alone put the Four Seasons on top. But I have stayed at the Grand and other Four Seasons Hotels &...

I have a bad feeling about this...
