    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    You make good points. I could quibble about people per room in the 5000 DVC rooms but your points are valid. I still think what Deluxe would book up much of return times in the morning before they hop to the next park at 2pm . This would make Genie+ even more unattractive. Also offsite would...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Deluxe would book too much of the capacity of the top rides to make genie worth the money for the rest of the groups. The inadequate ride capacity they have built, locks them in the corner of "2-3 attractions". No way to cheat the math.

    EPCOT Height balloons in Epcot parking lot

    What are they aiming for?? Maintenance is way off in the hotels and parks. Food quality at Disney run outlets is lower and less varied. Shows are shortened and or cut. Phone lines are a hour + nightmare. How the money was spent on expansion in Epcot is embarrassing for them. And on and on. No...

    What will Disney announce for Disney World at the 2022 D23 expo?

    I would love a encanto addition. But with Animal kingdom having so little to do, it needs to be in a new space and not replacing another attraction.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I totally agree they should. But I was suggesting a plan that the current Disney would possibly do. Raise the ticket prices and leave everything like it was in 2019 would be better than Genie+. Not great but way preferable to this current mess.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    No annual passes, like now. Just raise the tickets. But I digress, either way capacity is the problem. The math doesn't work no matter what program they come up with. There aren't enough ride times to go around.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Because a much larger pool of people compete for Genie + ride times vs mainly resort guests for Fastpass+, adding those feature's is untenable .

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    The total number of express passes offered at Universal is tiny compared the number of people who could buy Genie+ and compete with you for ride times. they are not comparable . Fast pass+ was basically for resort guest to have 3 rides. Offsite and day tripping locals didn't get that much...

    News Two new solar arrays coming online in 2023 will double Walt Disney World's solar capability

    Two large scale tracking solar fields were just installed in Sebring FL. I have seen them myself. I do believe the large Disney solar fields are 1 axis tracking systems. The 25% additional power warrants the additional cost.

    Rumor lightyear update to the buzz actions in the parks.

    Journey to Imagination ( current version) and Buzz are nearly the same age. Buzz gets many more riders than Figment. While Buzz really needs a refurb too, I would say Figment would be a better use of refurb dollars. It would make more of a impact for Epcot than buzz would for MK.

    Paying out unnecessarily

    A much smaller number of Universal guest's are able to use express pass compared to how many Disney guest could buy Genie +.

    EPCOT Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    "Because" none of decision the makers should be running a theme park.

    My next trip will be my last for a while…

    I can only answer for me. Everyone has a different situation and nuance on how they respond to lower satisfaction with Disney vacations. I have DVC contract's, so for me the choice to stop going is more complex and the tipping point was harder to reach. In the end Disney trips for me have been...

    WDW Railroad getting ready.

    I am so waiting for the railroad. I will ride two complete loops the first day it's open!

    Major Grand Floridian Refurbishment

    I wish they had re-decorated the Outer Rim bar and sitting area on to match the lobby.

    Big honkin’ pile of dirt.

    Oh come on, really. They have 40 square MILES of land, bought for peanuts 58 years ago. Much of this land is unsuitable and or allowed to be used for much. Kudo's to TWDC for putting these solar systems in.

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I am sure it will look nice in the end. But still a poor use of resources given what the park really needs. TWDC choices baffle me.

    ELI5 the benefit of more rides vs. another theme park

    I also should have stated that rides need to be as high a hourly capacity as feasible to soak up the crowds. Theme park 101 really. I don't know why them ignore this. Happier guests and more genie+ slots they can sell.

    ELI5 the benefit of more rides vs. another theme park

    Here is a possible outline for Epcot. Fix /up grade Journey into imagination . Overlay Coco in Mexico and add a simple queue addition to side of the pyramid entering through the glass blowing shop area (themed to blend in ). Add ride as planned long ago in Germany and Japan both with large...
