    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    The restaurant was great and one of the few places we got decent food there. Also, the outside area was lovely, but yeah that ride. It just needs a whole lot more physical props and scenery to better integrate with the screens. It’s just moving from one large empty room with a screen to another...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I keep on seeing Rat cited as the example that people will be paying LL+ for. And I just can’t help but wonder how those people will react to it. If it’s a one to one clone of Paris then I’d be extremely disappointed to have a spent a single cent extra. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, but it...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Guess I’m cancelling my 11 nights at Rivera then. Sure someone will fill it, and Disney will earn some more more money over our park tickets, but we’d be insane to not save a couple of grand by staying offsite.

    They might want to start putting back some of those benches then.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    The rumoured addition of Lightening Pass Plus make me think that they've created an even higher tier in order to throw a regular LP bone to their onsite guests. Either way, this is a complete balls and i'll be cancelling my 11 night stay at Riviera (already cancelled my twice postponed DLP...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    I've no idea now what I've gotten now with the holiday I booked for July 2022 last month. None. Are the 14 day tickets still valid? What's happening with FP? I honestly wished I wasn't so trigger happy and just left it a while.

    Wow, not even a layer of abstraction so you don't feel gouged. I hope they can take blood for those who forget/don't have their cards on them.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    So, this day next year we're due to arrive at Riviera. It'll be the first time back to WDW since joining here post visit nine years ago. It'll be my first time with kids. The only way I've somewhat justified the exorbitant cost of staying onsite is a tenuous reasoning surrounding convenience...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    I’ve completely wiped that from memory. Must be the lingering trauma of shelling out for unlimited bands for one of our days.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Wait, so they moved from a paid model to free at the start of the pandemic? When we were there two years ago they had bundles that were quite expensive.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    This is essentially what was available in DLP when we were there in 2019. IIRC: 1 FP for a club room. (our friends had this in NPB, while we got nada in the family room in DLH) Unlimited FP for the suite levels in DLH (not sure if this was exclusive for that Hotel) A few different tiers you...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    On the DLH refurb: Well that's where we stayed for the 4 nights. And I'm telling you, as regards rooms there's almost nothing in to lose in terms of theming going by the family room we stayed in. Our kids were 2, 3.5 and 5 at the time and the location completely sold the place. DLP really...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    It's just gone two years since my first visit to DLP and my two major takeaways... 1) The castle park is beautiful; stunning in fact. I'd seen countless images, videos since the place opened and I've always had the same reaction that it just lacked something, maybe coherence? The day before...

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

    It's eight years to the day that I was last in WDW, and specifically on this day, Animal Kingdom. I've always been extremely negative on Avatar, but I was curious to see it when we planned on returning with the kids next April. Of course, that's not happening now. I'm a bit disappointed, but...

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Noticed that, it looks like there are numerous scuff marks or that the floor had melted and was refinished roughly, particularly around the loading area. It stood out and reminded me of the shoddy state of Astroblasters when I was last in MK (2012). Everything else looked great.

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Is that adjusted for inflation, because that seems shocking. It's just so bare bones. The biggest indictment against it was that we'd fastpasses (family rides, so RT, Peter Pan and Buzz Lightyear) for the next day and my five and three year old had no interest on going on it again. They...

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Just back from my first visit to DLP yesterday and thought I'd chime in on Ratatouille. I'd tempered my expectations based on the early reviews, but was still cautiously optimistic given the nature of theme-park fans to sometimes over-react. But wow, that was a seriously underwhelming...

    What do Americans think of Disneyland Paris?

    I'm more curious as to what the French make of DLP? Have they accepted it, or is still regarded as some form of cultural imperialism from the US?

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I know that's the Falcon, but for the life of me I can't make anything there. I can't even see the orientation. It's frustrating because these things usually jump out at me. Are the two circular areas the back of the ship?
