    The Red Button Option

    According to Ian Rapoport, if Colleges abandoned Saturdays this fall, the NFL is considering a plan to broadcast NFL games on Saturday. Assuming we get a full season this could be the best thing to happen since COVID! I don't watch much, if any, college football.

    IS THIS THE NEW DISNEY?

    I am not a seasoned blogger, vlogger, etc. but IMO this new normal is as temporary as COVID-19. As others have noted, and if you have been going to WDW over the years, Disney packs guests in like cattle in a cattle barn. They have years of ever increasing profits that they will be held to as...

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    Sad to see PW go. I know most people disliked the ride, but my family and I always enjoyed it. Never saw ROL because we always left before it started. I can't remember Stitch, but I love Wreck-it-Ralph which is the supposed replacement. Doubt we will see that anytime soon. Frankly, none of...

    News Magic Kingdom July 2020 reopening reports

    What is the recommended arrival time/procedures for those arriving by car? I saw some discussion that they were holding back cars at some point, or limiting the amount of guests who could park at one time. I am looking to maximize my time at the parks starting at open. I am apologizing in...

    News Magic Kingdom July 2020 reopening reports

    Does anybody know if the capacity for previews (cast member and annual passholders) is at max capacity, or at a minimum there was maximum availability to be reserved? Just trying to determine if posted wait times will be similar once the park opens to all guests. I think I saw Splash at 60...

    Have you seen Song of the south in its entirety

    I purchased it two years ago on DVD specifically because people were always saying it was problematic. You could easily get it on the internet after a google search (and still can), and it is a high quality version of the movie. I'm glad someone asked the question because the reality is most...

    Expected park attendance numbers?

    Disney will also only have standby queues in order to promote social distancing. I think this is a mistake, and there has to be a better way, because where is everyone going to go when the park first opens? Everyone will head to FoP, 7DMT, RoTR/MMRR, etc. Anyone who has rope dropped before...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Here are my thoughts FWIW: 1) Like others I love Splash Mountain. I thinks its a great ride and I will miss it. I also own Song of the South. Contrary to popular belief it has always been available online for sale overseas and I bought it about 2 years ago. (Just goes to show you what Disney...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    I enjoyed the music as well. The only problem is when you are on hold for sooooo long the music loop ends and you are left with silence, and you need to ask yourself did they hang up? Then you look at the counter on your phone, and realize it is still going, and then you ask yourself do I hang...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    I posted it another thread, but it made my life much easier to use an auto-dialer app on my mobile. If you only need it a couple of times it is usually free. Just insert phone number and let technology be your friend. Just not Disney Technology ;)

    Park Reservation System Question

    I am not an AP holder, so I can't say if there are various ways to renew and where. But I have called to modify both DVC reservations, and and a non-DVC reservations. The wait times are ridiculous, and the busy signals, or automated messages seem endless. You need to hang in there and dial over...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    Same here. Finally, I got thru today after four hours on hold! I was moved from All-Star Movies (Preferred) to Pop Century (Preferred) for no extra charge. Hang in there.

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    I give up. Hopefully, when I try later my August dates won't be gone. Being frustrated with Disney IT isn't worth my time.

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    I assume Disney thinks that with lower capacity there will be manageable wait times, but I don't see that happening. With reduced hours Disney will still have everyone heading to the attractions that usually require fast pass with 2-3 hour long waits. Granted the waits won't be as long, but...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    I'm all for a Greek island resort. If Disney could recreate Santorini, Rhodes, Mykonos, etc. that would be impressive. I also just watched "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" on Netflix, and I am all for a Western themed resort. Maybe like Deadwood they could do a Disney "shootout." Just random...

    Construction restarted at Walt Disney World Resort - What is Actually still on

    Certainly, trending lower, but IMO I would not categorize them as "meaningful." VGF's average price is only 5% lower than its previous low in May '19 (Using just the chart posted). The poly is showing around 15%, but it was already trending downward prior to COVID. For me I would need to see...

    Jambo House unavailable for booking through the rest of 2020?

    I'm not sure demand is there, based on the availability I'm seeing in August. I don't own at AKL, but is it a big deal not to have JH open for reservation vice staying at Kidani? And enough of a big deal to cause members to complain? Regardless, good news.

    MLS coming to WDW

    I can't think of any restrictions that should impact your stay. That being said only time will tell. As much as Disney wants to protect guests and CM's, you can be sure that the security to get anywhere near the MLS/NBA players will be as strict as possible. I would imagine their security plans...

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    IMO no, although it depends how you tour the parks. In January I did both DHS and EPCOT in one day. I felt like I hit all the major attractions in both parks including RoTR and MFSR in DHS. Since I have no need to see stage shows or the films at EPCOT it was fine. I am not sure how much this...

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    Is that really the answer though? I know some have seen UO as the "trigger," but shouldn't Disney be worried about themselves? I think they could have easily said "We are just too big to open. We have city-sized responsibilities and in the interests of our cast members and guests we don't...
