    News Wakanda joins Coco, Zootopia, and Encanto on Disney Parks' future blue sky expansion list, reveals Josh D'Amaro

    I don't think Disney has said anything about where Wakanda might go. D'Amaro only threw it out there as a possibility and people have run with it. “Imagine bringing Wakanda to life. In terms of bringing the latest Disney-Marvel-Pixar intellectual property to the parks, we haven’t come close to...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    If those 3 rides are the only tier 1 attractions, they're going to have a problem with families who have small children. There has to be at least one tier 1 choice for the little ones or else they need to allow three tier 2 picks instead of one tier 1 + two tier 2.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    PizzeRizzo. Boardwalk pizza window. Both equally bad. The only decent pizza was at Via Napoli during a Beer vs Wine demonstration. They actually imported the flour from Italy and brought water in from Pennsylvania to make the crust. There's something about the mineral content of the water that...

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

    🙋‍♀️ I have a couple of non-expiring passes that pre-date MYW tickets. I also have quite a number of unused hopper tickets that are not date-based. Some of them are not even linked in MDE yet because I have enough trouble keeping track of the ones that are already in there.

    “Temporarily Closed”

    @lentesta posted charts showing the average daily downtown per attraction in minutes. Overall, EPCOT and AK have improved downtime since 2020 but there are exceptions (see FEA and Dinosaur). TT and Ratatouille still manage 60+ minutes of daily downtime even though that's less than in previous...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Jersey schools close for a statewide teachers' convention. Families use that time off to take a trip. Since November is too cold to do the shore, they head south or to the Caribbean. WDW is a favorite destination for many of those families. This year, the convention will be November 9&10.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Disney isn't investing $60B in WDW. They are investing $60B in "parks and experiences" worldwide. That includes the cruiseline, where they have indicated that they hope to double their fleet. I would not expect WDW to get a large piece of that pie.

    Ticket Pricing

    Tickets are non-refundable but their value can be used to purchase another ticket if you wish to upgrade to more days, a hopper or to a different range of dates. But they cannot be applied to a resort package. It has a lot to do with the separation of divisions within the Disney organization...

    Ticket Pricing

    It used to be that you could expect a price increase every winter around late January/early February. Now, with date-based ticketing, it's much more difficult to track price increases. One thing you can count on is that ticket prices don't go down. There might be discounts tied to...

    I think it's the way she wore her hair but yes, this girl looked like she has a 5-finger forehead in the video.

    Is EPCOT worth the price of admission?

    Well, there's GotG, Ratatouille, a revival of Soarin' Over California and the new Way of Water walk thru. Not to mention the very popular Frozen attraction. But I agree that in and of itself, Epcot is not worth the price of a 1-day ticket.

    Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

    Very true. But that doesn't change what she said or how people received her messaging. There are plenty of examples of online communities digging up past statements by targeted individuals in order to disparage them. The question is only whether one sees those statements as impactful or...

    Ohana Breakfast or Dinner

    The food was bland. The meat was over-done and tough. No peel-and-eat shrimp even though it was on the menu. Probably a supply chain issue that was left over from the pandemic. The pork dumpling filling was nicely seasoned but there was a weird oiliness to the dough. And the dipping sauce was...

    Ohana Breakfast or Dinner

    There are better restaurants on which to spend your dining credits but if unique character interaction is your focus, then go for the breakfast. There are no characters at dinner (and the last meal we had there -in 2021- was extremely bad).

    Disney World needs major updating

    I hope that your visit with the grandkids is magical. It's the only thing that keeps us holding onto our DVC contracts. We have 2 granddaughters (age 2 and 2 weeks). I want to witness the awe and wonder thru their eyes. Maybe that will bring the magic back for us.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I share your sentiments. I have no confidence in any pie-in-the-sky D23 lookie-here announcement. Not after the huge disappointment that their Epcot plans became. Looking toward the near future, what is WDW definitely getting? A re-theming of Splash and the eventual removal of the ever-present...

    Florida Resident Disney Vloggers on YouTube

    So, I'm watching a YouTube video featuring a young guy and a woman who are reviewing the new menu items at AK. Okay. The guy is eye candy. And the two play off of each other well. But if you're going to be someone who is reviewing food, don't roll your eyes, make a face and shake your head even...
