    News Disney Explores Amazon Prime-Like Membership Program to Offer Discounts and Perks

    Just like mobile phones, and streaming, and software, Disney wants in on the endless monthly recurring charge. They already have it with Disney+ streaming, but they want more. I suspect a small hardcore faction of their fandom would pay for this, but the mainstream will not.

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    I am going 2nd week of Nov (first time back to HS since it was brand new MGM in like 1990) and will be really disappointed if this isn't occurring by then. Given no official announcement or timeline, is it reasonable to expect this show will be 7 nights a week? Will they do once or twice I...

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    Agreed. What was the main reason why the rehearsals were scrapped at the end of the winter and the long delay?

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    If cast rehearsals have already now begun, and fireworks testing was receently, then how could this not be opening by late Sept/early Oct? Does anyone know the typical timeline of how long after cast rehearsals begin Disney will restart a show or launch a new show?

    MagicBand+ announced

    Wow. Buyer beware is right. I'd be canceling that charge on my CC or demanding a refund from Disney. They didn't work. Bottom line. Sorry to hear of your disappointment but maybe you'll help someone else.

    Banana Splits?

    I think so. Most places around me serve one and charge you heftily for it. I absolutely love them but find it hard to finish by myself. I've noticed most places have their own take on the recipe too.

    MagicBand+ announced

    For those who haven't ordered yet or on the fence about what to get. I ordered MB2 for 20 bucks ea on 8/17. I got them today. Main use case for us is park entry and boarding rides. We are off property so not sure they can do anything else for us. Costs being equal MB+ fun, but looking to shave...

    Do we need or want Magic Bands?

    I asked a similar question here. I was planning on using my phone to board us all onto rides. Folks here convinced me it was a huge PITA to scan each person in our party in....and the idea of carrying around cards and digging them out each and every time seemed stressful. I decided to drop...

    OK, I'm Giving Up!

    I'm about to spend a small fortune for family of 5. Yes we got sucked into the Genie + and magic band money grabs. Yes I am uncomfortable for how much all of this is going to cost. But it was a decision my wife and I made and we plan to take the kids once, probably twice and thats that. There...

    Off site Accommodations

    Not sure if the theming is too young for them, but we booked a 2 BR at https://mickeymousehomes.com/ (have not stayed yet but highly optomistic and excited for this property, which is about 2 miles off property. Owner seems very responsive thus far. If theming too young, the overall resort...

    Changing my mind on reservation days

    We put AK and Epcot as our 2 weekend parks due to their size. Additionally one of the disney road races was occuring and this was the least impactful for us. I would absolutely try to put MK and HS in the middle of the week.

    November weather

    We're also going in November because when I went once in November about 12 years ago, and it was absolutely beautiful. Probably 75 or so during the day. Given that, I would say swimming would be fine especially with a heated pool, or if its very sunny out. Swimming early in the morning, or after...

    Strategically booking park pass reservations

    I would book reservations with your gut now, and then change on the fly if possible. Personally I'm worried about the airlines screwing us up, and I have 2 "off days" with no parks planned (pool, disney springs etc). In the event the airline delays our arrival, I am hopeful I could move or get...

    EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I was excited to try this when I go soon with kids (6, 7, 9) but now I'm worried about getting dizzy and nauseous. People still complaining about that? I get more dizzy from rapidly spinning rides or riding in the back of a car at my age now (42) then I did as a kid! I won't ride the teacups...

    Booking dining when staying off property

    YEs you must book each day at a time on 60 days out. I plan to book mine using "safety choices" where I miss out on my first choice. then sign up for free alerts at sites like mousedining and touringplans etc. If you Google there are a bunch. When alert comes in have to act fast. You can also do...
