    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    I think the best counter to this statement, and all the components therin, would be to ask yourself why they implemented the service in the first place? People go to WDW for multiple reasons. Let's call those reasons features. You can remove a feature or three, but at some point, you remove...

    Disneyland After Dark vs Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party & Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

    Oooofff.. both the Halloween and Christmas parties were totally awesome back in the day. I heard lately they have been overbooking tho? The whole point was no skirmishing for a seat at the themed parade.

    Most fun Disney/Universal Orlando park?

    My vote did not factor in overcrowding. MK was teh vote, but if you factor in crowds I would have to change it to IOA.

    What's BJ's? ...maybe we don't have these in Texas?

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    Shoot, count me in. That price point is about right on the money. Mears would be $60, and no luggage service. DME would be a little more of a wait for the bus to run, and then maybe a stop or three. Those are the only downsides.

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    I've said it before, but seems like a good time to mention again... the $6,000 wasn't the problem. The one-and-done was the problem. Starcruiser was a LARP. The same LARP every time. Secondary to that, the accommodations were ok, but not $3,000 a night ok. I have zero regrets about dropping...

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    I'd like to add, car rentals aren't what they used to be. $19 a day? Pfft, Looooooong gone. After hidden fees, a weekly car rental can be $700+ for a vehicle large enough to hold 4 people and all the luggage. Yea, DME is missed more than ever! Granted, a Mears black is $60-$70 before tip, but...

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    For me to get "on board" with this theory, DME would have had to been dying. Was it? Last time I rode it in 2017 it was still wildly popular based on witnessed demand. Granted, that was a good 5 years before they killed it. Maybe it did peter out? Lyft & Uber are great, if you trust your...

    How to reserve parade viewing space with just a flag and USB charging cables

    Oh nope nope nope. I'd plow right in. Minor scene would ensure. ...I would however allow little kids in front once everything settled, as I generally do.

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    I will start out by saying that it is a factor in my decision on where I want to vacation. For two reasons... The cost savings. About equal to two decent dinners. Additionally, killing the Magical Express was, for me, symbolic of Disney Corp's investment in my experience. I took (minor)...

    EXPENSIVE, CROWDED AND IS A BETTER THOUGHT THAN AN ADVENTURE

    My fingers smell funny. Probably something to do with winterizing generators today.

    Please Use Both Sides

    Ha! Good one :D I bet we could pick them out of a line up!

    Please Use Both Sides

    The lines were noooooot quite idiot-proof. I would think better signage would have helped a lot. like, two divided lines with the entrances clearly marked. You are 100% in the right with how you're feeling and how you handled it. I'm just saying WDW has to appeal to a lower denominator when...

    Remember When?

    Just over $0.01 each. I would have guessed double or triple that.

    Looking for inspiration, how do you bring the parks "home" for the holidays?

    Disney Channel, or maybe it was Netflix, just released Behind the Attraction. I've been watching and they are pretty good. Some neat history about most of the signature rides. ...and the different parks aroud the world.

    Hey Disney

    I wanna say something like that was on the Starcruiser (RIP). We never used it.

    This would make for an interesting day......

    I have never seen anybody 💩💩💩💩 outdoors at WDW. But I am also not surprised. I have, however, had people 💩💩💩💩 all over the place where I work. On the floors, on the walls, in the urinals, fountains, etc. We had to C.T. one woman for throwing 💩 at the building and passing cars. I've also seen...

    Increased OCSO Presence?

    The deeper the better! No, I was tip-toeing around law-abiding citizens carrying. ...I don't wanna say the keyword and kick of a thread lock. :p

    Increased OCSO Presence?

    I have noticed increased security everywhere. The reason(s) are pretty clear... Either violence is way up or media coverage of the violence is way up. ...or maybe both. Probably both. I like security/police present. I don't feel like you can have too much. I'm not sure lots of extra "rent...
