    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    The newer options for the UK are: Value: one QS meal per day. Moderate: free QS plan. Deluxe: free regular plan. So they’ve eliminated the previous issue of free breakfast per day, which was the only difference we had.

    News Walt Disney World Launches Dining Reservation Upgrades with Enhanced Search and Calendar View

    Unfortunately, international versions of the dining reservation system (e.g. disneyworld.co.uk) are still utilising the old version (VPN does allow use of the new one). Side note that for some reason if you’re not in the US, the app now kicks you onto the website where you have to sign in again...

    Disney's Pop Century Resort Adding a Coffee Shop

    This could well be an element of reaction to the facilities offered at the Universal value hotels - the new Terra Luna/Stella Nova in particular.

    News Membership Magic Beyond

    I'm unsure if this was covered here already, but Membership Magic Beyond is NOT available to anyone residing outside of the United States. I just had 2 phone calls with DVC and despite it being nowhere within T&Cs or promotional emails, that is in fact the case. Means I'm out of luck - hope I...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This was my first thought. Why announce the Villains show when the obvious move is to shift MV3D to Sunset Showcase? Ah, Disney…

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I can’t comment on what plans may have evolved into, but IIRC the blueprint/plans did have a walkway in front of the building, but it was literally building-walkway-shoreline with no other land in between. I think further towards the Wedding Pavilion the plans also showed an expanded shoreline...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    So well put, this is exactly how I feel and was struggling to articulate.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I guess. I don’t believe that to mean much though, when it’s basically blue sky concept art.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Just a thought, are we sure they won’t be replacing BTMRR? ‘Take on wild terrain as you race across the landscape climbing mountain trails, dodging geysers and — Mater’s favorite — splashing through mudholes.’ These are all elements of the existing ride, and it’d sure be easier for them to...

    Poly Tower room types

    Any ideas when points will be announced and/or the tower will open to points bookings? I would want to say once they go on sale but with existing owners having access and there being less than 5 months till they open, I’m not so certain. Also there are 4 other resorts currently being sold, so...

    That’s what I suspect… Maybe the bus driver creates the concept art too?

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I had heard from a MK-Poly boat driver last week that they were getting Polynesian artists in to decorate the sides of the buildings but I presumed it to be the typical rumour mill. But this seems to confirm it could be true!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Yep. Always using the US site and I’ve tried incognito mode on chrome and private on Safari. I just tried 2 VPNs, too. And this is what is shown: Followed further down, where the link to start would be, by this:

    I don’t even get to that screen. I used to be able to. But now from the start of the process it stops me.

    May I ask using what technique and VPN? I’ve tried for months to no avail.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I have an AP. Re magic bands, I have also tried to buy them many times and you can’t even get close to try changing the shipping address - even under a VPN it says ‘guests cannot buy magicbands internationally’, never mind not just ship internationally. Just to add to this, you need a VPN to...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    It already will not allow you to purchase Genie Plus due to geo-location before even asking for dates etc. And I’ve tried a number of VPNs and it won’t work with that either.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Well, this website has confirmed no international preselecting. That is a true shame and will remove a lot of value in buying LL for international guests. It’s been coming for a while though, they’ve slowly been restricting international function as time has gone by, such as in app dining...

    This looks like it could result in a significant loss of parking spaces in the existing parking lot. I hope not, though! I realise there’s more parking coming at Island Tower but with the addition of rooms/guests I imagine it’ll still be an overall loss.

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I’ve heard it’s multiple dining locations. But I’m unsure whether this means a restaurant, bar and pool bar, or table service and quick service, for example. Many combinations could be had!
