Looking at the MK operating hours data from 2011 and 2019, specifically comparing the number of times MK closed at midnight or 1AM, the difference is obvious: 2011 MK closing times 12AM - 91 times 1AM - 45 times 2019 MK closing times 12AM - 33 times 1AM - 2 times

We need to come up with a phrase for when Disney takes so long to build a new attraction, the online discussion cycles around to the same topics over and over again. Or maybe do some analysis to create a mathematical expression for the average number of thread pages it will take for the...

I get what you’re saying, and I don’t doubt you have far more info about the inner working of WDW decision making than I, but it seems odd that hours would be based on park attendance if hours from 2001-2019 dropped 5.8%, while attendance increased 22.3% over the same period. Another...

I've always wondered if hours have been cut over the past decade or so. The only historical park times I could find were on Touring Plans. So, picking 2011 and 2019 (to make the times all pre-COVID) I scraped the MK opening and closing times off of the Touring Plans daily crowd pages for every...

Yesterday, I heard a short story about the Starcruiser on the highest rated DC news radio station. And I had to chuckle. The teaser for the story was “Want to stay in the same hotel as Darth Vader? Details ahead.” Then, in the story itself, they referenced the new WDW “Star Wars hotel”...

It reminded me of an overly caffeinated toddler trying to tell a story.

First off, I agree that vloggers/bloggers have a limited reach (even though Disney thinks it's an important enough reach to court with free stuff). But, your estimation is off since they don't have to reach every person in a family/group. Only the planner. So, if the top vloggers reached a...

Didn't @marni1971 suggest that it was an interim solution?

Two caveats from my trip two weeks ago. First, there appears to be only one place to pick up the Visitor Toll tags (only in Terminal A). I picked up my tag, and went out to the pick up my rental car (express pickup, right outside the door from the tag pickup area). However, since I flew in to...

One still open question is when the 2 hour window starts when you select a LL pass with Genie+ at 7am. I would assume you have to be in the park to select #2 (although that hasn’t been clarified). Also, would the 2 hour window for your second selection really open at 9am, regardless of when the...

Which is one reason why New Orleans Square in DL just “feels” right, and better, than LS to BTM. Changing Splash to something based in New Orleans really won’t hurt the cohesiveness of the area. But it won’t help, either.

I’m not sure how campsites work for checkin, but all other on-site accommodations allow you to check in online, without talking to a single human. Hopefully it’s a little more involved for campsites.

I’m hesitant to bring this up, but I wonder if including RotR will increase throwaway campground bookings? I know they had this issue somewhat during the FP+ era due to folks wanting an extra 30 days to prebook. But $60-$70/night for a campground (with its early entry) for up to 10 people is a...

Looking at the user submitted times on the TouringPlans app, a sample of posted vs actual wait times for RotR are: 12:30pm Posted 100min, actual 71 min 2:45pm Posted 60min, actual 24 min 3pm Posted 60min, actual 20 min

@DCBaker, I salute you for your tireless updates.

Wow. Just two nights earlier, I waited 3 mins for Peter Pan at 11pm.

From what I’ve seen, I love this addition. 99% free of IP, fun and somewhat edutainment oriented, plus it’s something you really can’t find anyplace else. But as I’ve said before, the food will really make or break the “re-rideability” of it. I also don’t think the prix-fixe menu will last...

I actually did last Sunday’s Boo Bash, even though the previous week’s crowds were extremely low. I’m much more of a ride and ambience person at the parks. Entertainment is great, but not something I usually go out of my way to catch. With that preface in mind, I had an excellent time at Boo...

I know it’s pretty common sense, but I found it interesting how much a ride down time affects your time in line after your boarding group is called. Earlier this week, a fairly short down time resulted in me waiting 45 min in line after checking in. Today, that wait was only 5 min. I’m guessing...
