If we run with your number of 6500 buying express past at average of 159.99. ( averaging for the wild swings in price and the 4 levels of pass) that comes out to over a million a day in revenue. This really solidifies in my mine the fact that the Bob's aren't leaving this money on the table for...

But when you consider they give a express pass to everyone in the room, ( I assume 4 is the max in most room categories) It is a very good value. I think these will increase in the future. Between the 3 hotels that receive included express pass there are 2400 rooms. If we assumed a average of 3...

I checked for a possible day over 4th of July week . weekend day 309.99

I don't think Disney with offer a free with your stay maxpass that works like express pay anyway. But if they did it would be just a few of the most expensive hotels and only on the hotel side not DVC IMHO. Paid max pass would price like Universal . But I think it is also possible they will...

I just went back to check. It looks like the express pass is the same for everyone. The park tickets of course offer a Florida rate.

I just looked Universal's pricing for express pass. It cost much more than I thought and we all quote on this site. They have a one park or two park pass and unlimited or one ride a day per attraction passes. So essentially 4 types of pass. Just the lowest pass, one park one ride per day for the...

Has anyone heard of the possibility of Disney making a software change on Midway Mania to allow new games ? I thought I remember some of the insiders saying when the ride was built it was budgeted to have 2 more versions but they were cut. Wouldn't this software change be a very cost effective...

IMHO the majority of the people on this thread and forum would disagree with you. For the last 10 years I have been in WDW 25 nights a year in DVC resorts . I have been going at least yearly since 1995. The drop in maintenance in all areas of the property is large and the prices charged just...

We differ in regards to how long Tower, Spaceship, Yeti etc etc have been lacking maintenance and missing features.

I agree with many of your points. I wasn't clear in stating I think they should raise ticket prices and maintain the parks if they don't have the money. Not a extra fee. But they have the money already. It is clear they have just cut the maintenance budget. I suspect the person who proposed that...

But why don't the Non-Disney hotels in the $500-1000 a night category within 5-15 minute radius not have the problem maintaining their properties ? Disney's Yacht club, Beach club, Grand Floridian and others are all in this price point.

Again the maintenance issue's have been around for year's. Someone on this forum recently shared that Iger is on the record in earnings calls with analysts bragging about reducing the maintenance budget for the parks 40%. This is pre-covid. This is the problem. Raise the prices and cheapen the...

That was for the beach club not the rides. Ride maintenance has been getting steadily worse. Have you not noticed things like the doors at the top of Tower of Terror not fully closing thus letting in light and greatly diminishing the ride experience ? Probably 5-6 other maintenance issues just...

As I said, these trends have been in place for years before Covid.

I would have agreed with you in the past. But I think they may be reaching a tipping point. We won't know till Covid fades in 2022 and we see how they are going to operate in a more normal travel/vacation economy.

If they don't clean and maintain the parks they will lose the repeat guests over time. They won't be able to replace the frequent guests as they die off if they abandone all the practices that have built the fan base they have. Once they lose their reputation they may find it hard to recover it...

I have heard from layed off Flying fish staff that the company has no scheduled opening date at this time.

I agree with most of your points wholeheartedly. I still like the Wave, Cali grill and few of the third party restaurants in the springs as well. I would add the lack of interesting and varied merchandise in the stores and cutting of street/small entertainment .( this was happening pre-covid)...

Coming back from our recent trip staying at the Beach DVC villas I was once again struck by pitifully poor visual / decorative maintenance in the elevators and lobby doors. A number of rides, (Tower of Terror, Roarin, Grand fiesta etc. )seemed to have many issues with dents in decorative mental...

V&A chef's table is equivalent to a 2 Michelin star resturant. Never eaten at 21 Royal.
