    New Moonlight Magic event - AK Dec 13th

    Keep your MK reservation. You don't need one for MM. My sister and brother did the August AK MM. They didn't have any park tickets or reservations and they were fine.

    News Walt Disney World Annual Pass price increases October 2023

    Interesting. My common experience is that there are two major types of AP holders. There are locals who visit multiple times in a 366-day period and then there are others who take 2 (or more) visits of 5 to 10 days within a 1-year period. A single visit of 10+ days doesn't happen often with...

    News All-Day Park Hopping returns in early 2024

    Or, for example, if you can't get an MK reservation but can get one for Epcot, just tap in at Epcot and head over to MK immediately. Such a pointless limitation on AP holders and anyone else who falls in the excluded groups.

    News All-Day Park Hopping returns in early 2024

    Two of my pet peeves eliminated - park reservations and 2 PM park hopping. There was no reason for either of those to remain this long after the pandemic died down.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    A D.E.T. CM could have worked some magic to give you an additional G+ reservation to compensate for the difficulty that you had that morning. But if you didn’t to spend precious park time waiting to speak to someone, I totally understand. Unfortunately, that's pretty much the only method...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    One more difference: The 2024 offer only works for families with children under the age of 10. In the past, *free* dining was a decent deal for families with teens and tweens or Disney adults. The vibe that I'm getting from this new offer is that Disney is trying to coax families with young...

    Hollywood Studios table service or leave the park

    The resort restaurants are better than most of the in-park HS restaurants by far. I recommend Topolino at the Riviera if you want easy access to/from HS. It's a short ride away via the Skyliner. Great food and a much more relaxing atmosphere than any of the restaurants in HS. Other options...

    News Disneyland announces Limited-Time Kids' special ticket offer for early 2024

    What you experienced as a 20-something was not the economy. It was a reflection of your elevated income. I graduated from college in the early 80's. I was making more money than I had ever seen before and it felt great. But we had double-digit inflation and high unemployment. IOW, the economy...

    News Disneyland announces Limited-Time Kids' special ticket offer for early 2024

    Tell that to my wallet and 401k because they aren't buying what you're selling.

    Is the future bleak for Disneyworld, Disneyland, etc?

    How many is a bazillion? Is it more than a trillion but less than a googolplex?

    Florida Resident Disney Vloggers on YouTube

    I watched the whole thing live and kept hoping that it would be better than its previous incarnation. Unfortunately, it didn't spark my interest until Ryno was talking about the child who is battling pediatric brain cancer for the third time and how ordinary guests and CMs made magical moments...

    For the clock watchers

    In biochemistry circles, we would refer to those slower reactions in a series of chemical processes as the "rate limiting step". IOW, no matter how fast the people behind them are capable of moving, the slower-moving individuals are controlling the speed with which the line will move.

    For the clock watchers

    Way back in ancient times, CMs would hand random guests a card as they entered the queue. At the end of the queue, another CM would take the card and scan it. Posted wait times would be adjusted according to how long it took the card to travel from the back of the queue to the end of the queue...

    Unpopular opinions about the parks?

    Unpopular opinion: RotR ain't all that and a bottle of pop. There! I said it! (Boy do I feel better now!)

    Help me Decide where to stay

    I would stay at the Poly. Maybe rent DVC points to save a little money. Walk from the Poly to the TTC for the Epcot monorail. The DVC buildings are close to the TTC. And I would take the boat to MK from Poly or grab the monorail at TTC since it will be less crowded than the Poly station. For me...

    Is the future bleak for Disneyworld, Disneyland, etc?

    TBH, I haven't completely stopped going but my enthusiasm for Disney trips has diminished considerably. In fact, I was more excited about going to Universal the last time we visited (November 2022) and we only spent 2 days at the Disney parks out of the entire 8-night trip. There was a time when...

    Points from rental returned?

    Yes. I still got paid. That's why I don't care that the points will just go unused. It would have been nice if the renter had contacted the agency when they realized that they had 2 reservations for the same night. It's possible that those points could have been used for another renter and they...

    EX CM Here Taking Daughter For First Time

    It should be a fun trip, seeing the parks thru an infant's eyes. We took our granddaughter when she was just shy of 6 months old. I think that as long as you are mindful of her needs and take a slow pace, you will be fine. Table service can be a challenge. Is she accustomed to eating out in...
