    WDW Ticket Price Increase

    Part of the added insidiousness of the date based pricing. About a year ago, when they first put 2022 tickets on sale, they shifted quite a few dates from lower price ranges to higher price ranges. While the ranges stayed the same, the effective price increased, on average. Now they are...

    WDW Ticket Price Increase

    My AP also expires in September. Is there any info about an AP renewal increase? And how does having the park reservation increase the renewal window beyond the normal 60 days before expiration? I can't find way to do so.

    Restaurant capacity and live entertainment restrictions are currently limiting Walt Disney World theme park attendance according to Bob Chapek

    I’m not @lentesta, but his Touring Plans folks have documented the disparity between posted times and actual wait times. Interestingly, Defunctland’s magnum opus on FastPass noted that this difference seemed to grow greatly way back when Disney started allowing guests to view wait times on their...

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    My wife will be happy to know that Len’s data supports her initial take after seeing Harmonious in person. 😄

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Which is why more effort and $ went into HWE vs. Starcruiser's landing craft. HWE creates a measurable revenue stream in ticket upgrades. The shuttle to Batuu does not. Personally, I don't understand the angst over box trucks being used. Could they have spent a ton more $ on something more...

    no more protective sleeves (for now) with lightsabers.

    Well, obviously Disney thought providing tram service was important enough that they’ve been providing it at their parks for the past 67 years. Until now.

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    Finally got to see Harmonious in person. While better in person, and a technological tour de force, it still struck me as a soulless Disney clip show. At first, my wife was impressed by the show. But as we walked out of the park, she made a very adroit analogy. She liken Harmonious to one...

    no more protective sleeves (for now) with lightsabers.

    And not just at Disneyland. At 8:45am this morning, they parked me at the very back of the Dinosaur lot at AK. I then had to walk over a half mile to AK’s entrance. Bring back ALL the trams.

    News Disney to offer discount on new MagicBand designs as an optional alternative to complimentary solid color MagicBands

    Not sure if this is still the case, but waaaaay back in 2019, this was the pattern I observed.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Wait, what? I have no experience with the EU, or any other post-Disney books, but how much pre-hyperspace history has ever been discussed in canon? So the backstory of Batuu relies on non-hyperspace interstellar travel? 🤦‍♂️ Why … wha … how … oh nevermind. This thread doesn’t need any further...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    While, like most, I’m less than enthused with what we’ve been shown so far, I’m amazed by the amount of schadenfreude surrounding the Galactic Starcruiser. While I have yet to see anything that makes me want to spend the $ required, I still think this could be a huge development in themed...

    Rumor Indiana Jones to possibly reopen this holiday with changes

    “Indy shooting the guy with the big sword” was removed, since the big sword guy was removed. In fact, all the swords in the market scene have been removed and replaced with sticks. And Indy no longer shoots the guy off the roof before the truck explodes at the end of the market scene.

    Rumor Indiana Jones to possibly reopen this holiday with changes

    So, I’m assuming the gun removal is permanent. Any indication that the propeller stunt is gone for good as well? And was the removal of the masks and headwear from the bad guys in the market scene new?

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I guess “breathtaking” and “new” could technically be true. Just not in a good way.

    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    If I’m Universal, I’m starting an ad campaign about my lack of a park reservation system, and availability of my APs.

    Destination D23 2021

    I had to chuckle that the two pieces of music at the beginning and end of this presentation were both from Epcot. Or rather, used to be from Epcot.

    Annual Pass Survey

    Over the years, I’ve called, emailed, chatted, and visited Guest Relations, trying to fix the issue so that I would receive AP emails and mailings. Nothing has ever worked.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    While not directly connected to each other (especially WRT timing), I chuckled at the juxtaposition of these two tweets.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    You can see why the C-suite was drooling at the presentation deck back when this was pitched.
